I remember England invoking The Spirit of Cricket when Jos Buttler got mankaded by Sri Lanka. So my impression is that The Spirit of Cricket is whatever allows the England player to get away with terminal lapses in concentration.

[@chadchadderton]

@BOYTOY_HEAVEN england and sportsmanship is just an oxymoron. I mean the whole "spirit of cricket" terminology was created around the bodyline series, in which the wider sports world considered england to be cheating even though legally they weren't. or the infamous stuart broad not walking or joe root claiming a catch that rolled too him or ben stokes purposefully deflecting a ball to the boundary and willingly claiming the runs in order to win a world cup final on a boundary countback or the english exploiting a substitute fielder rule or the english using things such as mentos and dirt/sand in the pockets to ball tamper (different scandals/instances) or the most telling argument is jonny bairstow himself doing what alex carey did (but missing) multiple times against multiple australian batsmen this very test, likely under the instruction of ben stokes... who also failed to stop bairstow from doing it yet he claimed he wouldn't let it happen (blatant lie)

[@billschild3371]

Thanks Jarrod for your analysis of the Spirit of the game. If you want to go down this road of bad sportsmanship nothing comes close to the gold standard of Bodyline theory. For those who came in late it was invented by England to stop Bradman. It offered the batter two options. Risk serious physical injury and possible death or get out. It too was well within the laws of the game as they existed at that time. So I would really appreciate less mendacity from English supporters as Carey's stumping doesn't even get close to the premeditated nastiness of bodyline.

I think Australia got their tactics wrong at the end there. I've never been a fan of having 9 fielders on the boundary, you still need to try and get them out in other ways that let's wait for him to slog it to one of the boundary fielders, and some of the bowling was atrocious, they just kept feeding his pull shot, he was just sat back and waiting for it. The moment they changed their line to outside of he struggled to get it away. Even towards the end when it seemed like it took an eternity to get that final wicket, they were just getting carried away with the short stuff. I was thinking please can someone bowl at the stumps, Josh Tongue was exposing all his stumps. The moment Mitch starc finally bowled one at the stumps he got bowled. I think starc has to play just to limit the number of tail end runs if nothing else

Poor show from the crowd. Im English and its not funny or entertaining to boo Smith or chant the Aussie cheating shite. The only thing i thought when Bairstow got out was 'Well that was INCREDIBLY stupid.' The mussus just said something about even 12yr olds wouldnt do that(not ground their bat between overs). No idea why people are angry at the Aussies. They're a ruthless, intelligent, and very talented team. What do you expect? Look.. Australia is the best team in the world. Before Stokes innings, i dont believe anyone who knows cricket would choose a single English player to replace an Australian player if you were making the best team between the two. So if you're playing a team , and every single player is better than yours.. and the normal conditions that you're used to aren't there because of the weather? You need to be 100% switched on. No dropped catches, no brain fades , any tactics (which is why i found it absurd when people were whining about Englands session and a half of bouncing.. do you wanna win or not?). Its always a struggle against Australia and India , especially Australia in 2023. There's no room for stupid mistakes or apathy. The cheating chants, which granted, is by maybe 0.01% of England supporters is absurd and boring. Yes it's sad it looks like Australia could win their first Ashes (away) in 2 decades *so early* but it doesn't require silly chants or calls of how the game 'should' be played. Play to win. If its in the rules its legal. If there is an open ... gentleman's agreement like Mankads where 90% of people agree you warn them first, then fine but anything else.. no. And even with Mankadding, moan for a day then learn and move on. If we start implying that the gane must be played with a certain number and style of tactics and strategy, then it just ends up with the best 11 human beings win. That's shite.

They got 6 runs without hitting a 6 and won a super over tie just because of boundary count. And broad refused to walk after edging to slip in 2015, Ollie pope ran out Collin de Grandhomme a similar manner in 2015 at lord's. Johnny Bairstow was doing this same stumping stuff ( but not hitting the wicket ) while Warner and Marnus were batting in Australia's innings to name a few. Brendan McCullum ran out Muralitharan in 2005 when he left the crease to celebrate a Sangakkara century. So where was the "Spirit of the game" in these situations ?. If Bairstow stumped Carrey in a similar manner when Australia was batting, then English crowd might have cheered it like a Genius work. So yeah most people don't care about this "Spirit of the game" nowadays especially if they don't break any rules. The only time people care about Spirit of the game is when their team is at the receiving end of it. 😅

[@vikranthmelanathur6505]

Good one Jarod as ever, wish we could have you up in the box, have the right amount of wit, sarcasm, common sense and cricketing knowledge. But I have to admit feeling a little disappointed by this Series, despite the close competition in the two matches. And it is due to the nature of pitches offered - slow and flat with lateral movement only available for small periods when the clouds decided to show up. This has totally negated the one thing that I love to watch in England - swing and drift in the air with reasonable pace, available to both pacers and spinners. And it has turned into a one-dimensional 80 mph short-pitch, wide bowling (were the umpires sleeping?) snorefest, with the rare Cummins / Starc spells under cloudy conditions being the exception. And the less said about the English trundlers (minus Tongue) the better. I enjoy Test cricket primarily to watch batsmen face Swing, Spin and Express Pace and bounce bowlers - the magic is all about beating the batsman in the air and then off the pitch if possible. On the other hand these metronomic line-and-length, seam bowling bots makes me quickly turn off the screen (particularly despise the wobble / scrambled seam deliveries when they get a batsman out, despite the bowler not knowing which way the ball would move). And having to watch everyone dig it up short and wide on these slow surfaces with occasional variable bounce, without even having the respite of Lyon's spin was worse than having to watch paint dry. I don't know, maybe you guys are more invested in these matches than a neutral like me, but neither of the two matches did anything for me. The pitches were so slow and flat and the 5th day in both games didn't do much except for the occasional variable bounce. Neither Cummins' innings last match nor Stokes this match moved me as would have any of the great knocks in close Test matches in the past. The contest despite appearing close on the statsheet seemed all too contrived, there just wasn't much available for bowlers to TEST the batsmen other than resorting to a boring short-pitch tactic. I know people may disagree with me, particularly the Aussie and English fans, but if I am being honest I'd rather watch 2-3 day test matches on Green / Brown minefields where everyball seemed like an event - a real test of survival, than these 5 days seemingly Corporate-contrived contests on soulless pitches.

[@DunningKrugerJnr]

@nieoojgotoy8716 that doesn’t even make sense…what are you even replying to?

[@davidloveday8473]

Not sure it's correct to say that bowler's end umpire visibly looking away from the "action" while preparing for next ball or over etc doesn't make the ball dead. Law 20.1.2 says the ball is dead if it is clear to the bowler's end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play. In other words, the umpire's perception of circumstances can make the ball dead. Now you can argue about whether the umpire in this case should or should not have thought it was clear that all the fielders had ceased to regard the ball as in play. But the umpire would not have behaved the way he did unless, rightly or wrongly, he felt it was clear that all players had ceased to regard the ball as in play. And the umpire's view of that, in itself, made the ball dead according to the laws - the laws make clear that the ball doesn't have to be called dead to be dead. This isn't just a technicality. With the umpire right in Bairstow's sightline, his actions and behaviour are clearly signalling to Bairstow whether and when Bairstow should treat the ball as dead. Irrelevant in those circumstances what one of the fielding side might be doing with the ball behind Bairstow's back - once the ball has been bowled and missed and the batsmen clearly aren't running, if the umpire then visibly starts ignoring what's going around him and dealing with his paraphernalia in his pockets in preparation for next ball or next over, that can only reasonably be understood to signal to the striker that the ball is now dead. Since all that apparently happened before the bails were dislodged, doesn't that make it not out?

[@vinceryan4131]

The batsmen never turned around to see what happened to the ball. It's not up to the batsman to call the ball dead. Out every day of the week.

[@davidloveday8473]

@@vinceryan4131 I think you missed my point. I agree its not up to the batsman to call the ball dead. The ball becomes dead under 20.1.2 without anyone calling it dead, based purely on the perception of the bowler's end umpire. As soon as that umpire starting behaving as if it was dead, the ball was dead, Bairstow was entitled to leave his crease and couldn't be out.

[@bobs_sa8480]

Except Carey throwing the ball less than a second after getting it is very obvious that the fielding side did not consider the ball dead and so the umpire can not consider it a dead ball. If he did, he was wrong which isn’t Australia’s fault. All of this is moot because it was all reviewed by the third umpire who concluded it was a fair dismissal. What’s been appalling is the gross overreaction by most English fans and media. Calling another team cheats and abusing them all because they were opportunistic with Bairstow’s weakness. Worse still, grandstanding about some ‘spirit of cricket’ nonsense when they themselves have been found wanting in that regard in the past, and if it was an English player with that bit of clever play he’d have been lauded as exposing the aussies carelessness.

[@davidloveday8473]

@@bobs_sa8480 to be clear, I don't think Casey did anything wrong or against the spirit of the game. I agree Casey reacted too quickly for this to be a situation where he noticed the umpire (who may even have been blocked from his view by Bairstow) behaving as if the ball was dead, noticed Bairstow reacting to that, and expolited the situation. Casey could reasonably believe the ball was live, so from his perspective it was just quick thinking and taking a perfectly legitimate chance. But the laws don't give Casey the power to make the ball live again if the bowler's end umpire is clearly treating it as dead. And I said above, there is a discussion to be had about whether it was correct of the the bowler's end umpire to think it was clear that everyone considered the ball was out of play. But the laws are clear that if the umpire did think it was clear, then the ball becomes dead. And by his actions the umpire must have thought it was clear, otherwise it is simply unthinkable that a test match umpire would have taken his eye off the ball and the players, looked down and started fiddling with his pockets or paraphernalia. I'm also doubtful that the third umpire reviewed the point I'm making, i.e. whether the umpire behaving as if the ball was dead made it dead. Normally the third umpire's powers of review are really narrow - eg in this case, was Bairstow out of his crease when the bails fell. I can understand why the umpires might have felt the need to refer that question to the third umpire, because obviously neither of them were looking so they had no idea. But my point is that that same circumstance that the umpires had obviously stopped looking was clear evidence that they had - rightly or wrongly - started treating the ball as dead before the bails came off. Which according to the laws meant the ball was dead and it was not out, so the referral shouldn't even have been made to the third umpire. If Bairstow was led by the bowler's end umpires behaviour into understanding the ball was dead before he left the crease, that is a legitimate reason for him and England players and fans to feel aggreived that he was then given out, because according to the laws he shoudln't have been out in that case. But I totally agree with you that anger at Australia is misplaced and unjustified. People don't get angry with a fielding team who attempt a run out when the decision that then goes against the batter is dubious. It's the terrible umpiring they should be angry at. Not really different here.

[@bobs_sa8480]

@@davidloveday8473 the umpires themselves were careless because they assumed the ball would be dead, but that assumption doesn’t make it so. They need t9 be satisfied the batter and fielding side are regarding the ball as dead, if they had taken that split second and not prematurely looked away, they’d have seen Carey throwing the ball and very much regarding it as live still. I can understand if Carey had delayed, feigned like the over was done, the umpires seeing that then accepting the ball was dead and then Carey attempting a stumping. That would be bad sportsmanship. If Carey released that ball in 0.8s, that means it took less time than that for the umpires to assume the ball was dead and that’s just not possible. I also doubt Barstow was basing his actions on the bowler’s end umpire’s; he’d been wandering out time and time again, I just think he like the umpires prematurely expected the ball to go dead. Further, if the umpires were convinced the ball was dead and had called ‘over’ all in the 0.8s it took Carey to throw, they would have simply told Cummins that ‘actually sorry, the over has been called the ball is dead’, the fact they didn’t and referred it up to the third umpire for the stumping itself means they accepted the ball was still live even if they had looked away assuming it was done. It’s a lapse in judgement from their part as well no doubt, maybe Bairstow was influenced by it ( again, I think he made his own separate assumption) but none of that should take away from Carey being sharp and aware enough. But sport is emotional and fans will often be not be impartial, but it’s these sort of tight margins that separate the elite professionals from more casual levels where mistakes are forgiven. Just as it takes skill to score a century, it also takes it to keep your concentration and stay switched on at all times, and a team shouldn’t be vilified for when they make use of that in their game as well. Admittedly not to a malicious level, but I think we can agree one stumping attempt to a player repeatedly showing a lapse is hardly cause to string a whole team up by their boots and ban them from cricket.

@richardthompson7572 see I disagree. I could say that starks catch was a catch and I would have walked if I was the batter...that's in the spirit of the game. Maybe if the batter had walked on the catch then the stumping occasion cummins would have said, ok, they went against the umpire decision for the catch ill go against the umpires decision here...either way, both captains, and fans, have to accept the umpires call. For reference I showed my wife, who does not follow cricket, the stark grounded ball and she said that's not a catch, I showed her the stumping and she said that's out, I was told that rule in pe as a kid...then she said both players must have had brain fades! Hahahaha

[@sabyasachighosh6252]

In my opinion whatever makes cricket more like Baseball is against the spirit of cricket 😕. If I had to watch such run-outs/stumpings and Mankads, I would watch baseball. Mankad should be dropped and short run should be called. Ball should be dead when anyone on the field believes it to be dead (batman, fielder, umpire), instead of everyone.

[@mikefriend1514]

2:14 So the Aussies saw that Bairstow regularly left his crease? Then they will have also seen that Bairstow time and again tapped his foot down in a time honoured gesture of saying ‘I’m leaving my ground, I’m not going for a run and I’m just going down the pitch for a spot of gardening or a chin wag with my mate.’ But they chose to ignore that gesture didn’t they? And it’s interesting isn’t it how these incidents always occur when the pressure on a team starts to grow. Just looking for that little edge. Bairstow was looking dangerous. So Australia play their ‘it’s within the rules’ card. It’s like Ashwin choosing to Mankad Butler because he was taking the game away from India. We can ignore spirit of the game but if we want the game to descend into pettiness and have bowlers interrupt their bowling stride every over to attempt a Mankad or hurl the ball at the stumps everytime (just in case the batsman leaves his crease) then let’s carry on and ignore all pretence of ‘hard and fair’ or ‘spirit of the game.’ I mean, what was the point of all the Aussie hand wringing after Warner and Smith forced Bancroft into smuggling sandpaper onto the ground? If winning is all that matters, then surely we can expect more Mankad’s from Aussies in the future because it’s ‘within the rules’? Or is spirit of the game only applied selectively by the Aussies so that they feel good about themselves? And by the way, ‘dragging your foot out of your crease is also not taking an advantage’ is not the same as what happened here and to pretend it is, shows the weakness of the argument. Had Bairstow been stood out of his ground to Green, I would have no issue with Carey. Had Bairstow over balanced and in so doing left his crease, or attempted a run, that’s fine too. Hide behind ‘its within the rules’ and ‘Whinging Poms’ and ‘what about the Starc catch’ but the Lords crowd know what they witnessed. And it’s an Aussie team falling back into old habits of winning at all costs.

[@UmpireStrikesBack]

There have been a massive increase in the number of mankind attempts in Australia club cricket. It is widely accepted as a legitimate form of run out. Only the old people cry about “spirit of the game”.

[@vamosabv]

I agree with the spirit of your comment Mike. I'm completely okay with the run out or the people who say it's within the laws. However, this one does feel a little wrong. Rather, if they had withdrawn the appeal it would have warmed everybody's hearts. Warnie, Hayden have all criticised Mankading (which is totally fine) in my opinion. There was opportunism and some hypocrisy by the Aussies. Starc has previously not Mankaded batters.

[@francissreckofabian01]

It was pointed out that Bairstow also rolls the ball towards the stumps periodically. MacCullum said they wouldn't have claimed the wicket. I claim BS. Why is Bairstow rolling the ball? Also, how do you get out the guys in charge of laws? Couldn't he just say. "Naaah! That's not out." Stokes is a great player. I've seen Flintoff & Botham. I'd consider him ahead of Botham despite Botham's bowling & catching. Stokes can do it against anyone whereas Botham's record against the WIndies was poor. Winning the Ashes 2 down has been done once before. Only problem is that the winning team had Bradman.

[@jessehopper8996]

oddly i think borad was trolling the aussies to start with, but then he kept doing it for over after over and then even started exaggeratedly asking the umpires if he was safe to leave even after he stopped doing it to the aussies because they were laughing along and not getting mad. I think he might have actually been butthurt about the fact he had to bat and was throwing a mini tantrum

Arguing that the spirit of cricket is nebulous does not therefore mean it doesn’t exist. Of course it was within the laws of the game to do what Carey did, the point is that it’s completely unsportsmanlike like - especially at Lord’s. They should have withdrawn the appeal, if you don’t see that then you’ve fundamentally deviated away from how the game was meant to be played. Yes results are what are recorded in the scorebooks, but Sportsmanlike behaviour inspires the next generation and sets a proper example for others. Stuart Broad’s comment is true.
