The ball was not dead. Carey threw the ball immediately he received it. It was live in play. BTW they weren't hard done but they were beaten.

Steve Harmison is one of the most biased pundits I've heard on English cricket but he's spot on here

[@aussierose]

Why should Carey warn Bairstow? Should Carey also give him a written list of what else Bairstow should not do while he bats? Bairstow is a wicket keeper! He gets paid professionally to play & to be the wicket keeper! He, of all people, should know better to guard his own crease/wicket when he bats! Especially when he tried the same thing days earlier to Warner & Marnus! Except Bairstow missed the stumps! It doesn't matter if there is a perceived advantage or not! Stay on your crease until the ball IS dead & umpire has called "over". He walked off 3 or 4 times! Just because you tap the crease with your foot doesn't mean the ball is dead either. Bairstow did not even have an awareness of where the ball was! Was it up to Carey to say " Hi ho, here is the ball, I've got it & Im going to throw it at your stumps now Bairstow" And what about Stokes at the other end? is it not the captains role as a leader to remind his team mate to have awareness of the ball & to stay on his own crease until safe?

[@kiz5562]

england used this as a smokescreen, since they failed to win the ashes at home with their new brand of cricket. this makes sense as JB waited months later until the odi WC last yr in oct-nov, when he moaned about it. And it coincided with England failing miserably to defend their odi WC title. JB is a hypocrite, and if he makes it out to the 2025 ashes here, the crowds will really give him a hard time 🤣

[@TheIkaraCult]

Pretty much every cricketer i've seen has said the same as Harmison here, I was never even close to playing the game at that level so I think i'm going to side with them

Bairstow attempted the same thing to the Australian side. Why is that not considered against the spirit of the game? Maybe Johnny just needs to learn to stay in his crease.

Strauss didn’t mean any harm with what he said. When I go watch T20 matches, there’s a different crowd than watch the test matches it’s not better or worse it’s just attracts different fans/people. Let’s not hand out Strauss to dry on this.

Andrew Strauss is a bit elitist and boring, thank god for Ben Stokes for his superb brilliant innings, as well as bringing excitement back into English test cricket. It’s unfortunate he doesn’t have more batsmen around him to do the same. Lords was louder and more boisterous than usual and that’s how it should be, it’s international sport not club or park cricket. Andrew needs to simmer down. All day 5 tickets have been £25 and all Lords tickets should be much cheaper as well

How can he be Stumped the Wicket Keeper needs to have the ball in his hands to Stump a Batter - so it goes up to the 3rd Umpire who calls it as ‘ a run-out’ So it goes in the book as being Stump yet Bairstow scratched his Boot in the crease therefore he cannot be Stumped - please tell me if I’m wrong 😡

[@worker-wf2em]

You are wrong. Even if the ball rebounds out of a keepers glove onto the stumps it’s a stumping. Keeper doesn’t have to be holding the ball

[@rohithm681]

So according to Harmison he's fine with the non striker leaving his increase inadvertently but not the striker. While the latter actually gives an advantage and the former is just the striker assuming the ball is dead earlier than it is. How can you even equate it to a stumping, the batsman was in his crease and was in complete control before he left it. Australia has just made use of the vaguery of a rule in their desperation to win. Cricket is a unique sport it's played over 5 days and some things have to be assumed. Now we are going have a rule to decide when the ball is dead so that batsmen can leave their crease.

[@kymbo72]

there is ALREADY rules to decide when the ball is dead. England team just didn't know them (and apparently still don't). I'll help you out, it's 20.1. There is no "vaguery of a rule" - it's pretty clear actually. Most of the English past players and commentators seem to know the rule, it's just the current team who need to brush up on their knowledge before playing their "Spirit of Cricket" card. As Harmison indicated, that card only comes out when a side thinks something didn't go their way and wants a bit of a sook. Aussies had to just accept the ruling on the Starc catch where it hit the ground the other day, even though they didn't agree and it would have been a huge wicket - but they didn't start whinging and whining about Spirit of Cricket etc.
