Just love this conversation !! Former England player defending Aussies and Aussie player supporting England

[@stevenforster5325]

Agree, the world has clearly gone mad! The only person at fault is Bairstow, stay in your crease. It’s not up to the umpires to tell him to stay in the crease. I will say the umpires should stay in position until over is called, which they didn’t, that said they didn’t call over, nor could they as Carey caught the ball and threw it in one action.

Brad Hogg is incorrect. It was not 3 seconds. It was 0.8 seconds. The Umpires and Bairstow were all sleeping. It was a fair dismissal.

[@user-mg8tw7yo4f]

Too right. The wicket keeper did not even know he was going to walk out of his crease. Since he was doing it a bit, he just threw it at the stumps in a split second for a Punt. They should be talking about how they will win a test.

[@acerimmeh]

I timed Bairstow ducking the ball (above his head) to the moment he began to move from his crease to less than 2 seconds, who thinks the ball is dead in under 2 seconds? Carey threw the ball at the stump in 0.85 seconds after catching it. Bairstow did not respect the situation or the game enough to even turn around to check the state of play. Poor cricket from Bairstow and sharp keeping from Carey.

Stokes was the nearest player to the umpire. Had he called “over” Stokes would have heard him and, as captain, taken it up immediately with the umpire. As it happened Stokes returned to his crease and grounded his bat. He knew the ball wasn’t dead.

He is upholding the Laws of Cricket. It was out. No call backs. Bairstow should know better his is a keeper. He is the one dmnb enough to go walk about without looking then he deserved to be out - and that what it is. If he had looked he would have seen it coming. Its contained in 39.2 and I have seen it done and where the wicket is missed they have taken the run.

[@glennarmstrong7891]

The umpires error was not watching play until the ball was "dead". They both let themselves get distracted. They cant call "over" until the ball IS dead.

[@quintonbarrie8323]

[@har234908234]

It's an error if they called over... I haven't heard that. I've heard a bit about them moving which is not the same thing. Bairstow wasn't moving because he thought it was over. The test here is if Carey misplayed the ball somehow and there were byes, would (or should) the umpires not score the runs because they "moved". Those jokers in the long room should look at their own club and get the rules tidied up... but fwiw I agree with Hogg. He's not running and he's in control of himself in his crease - but he's just got to look back at the keeper.

@@charliecoutts3003 the umpires had *just* started to walk, but it's got nothing to do with them. The ball is dead when both teams acknowledge it is out of play. That is the law of cricket. The ball cannot be dead if a keeper immediately throws the ball at the stumps.

[@adriankelson9981]

Thank goodness for Michael Vaughan - intelligent, objective, honest. I think Hogg and Wright are looking for someone other than Bairstow for ultimate accountability. Blames the Aussies, blame the Umpires. Just blame Bairstow for being the goof, like Starc, who simply should have more wit as a well-paid professional to get it right. Let's face it, those guys have one bloody job to do. I'm speaking as an aussie who was not comfortable with the Steve Smith catch one bit, swallowed the letter of the law when Starc clearly caught the thing, but when it comes to something so black and white like the Bairstow dismissal (which could not have been executed by a keeper any faster), the poms are seriously trying to suggest they would not have done the same. Stokes, Root, Bairstow, Broad have just NO credibility whatsoever but I appreciate getting the crowd wound up might help their cause and deflect from the reality the English team (with a couple of exceptions) need to lift their overall standard from session to session.

[@SudiptaKarmakar87]

Starc's catch - as I used to understand cricketing rule, would be a "not out" as ball touched the ground. But that water was muddied when some people started claiming its fine even if ball touches ground if the catch was "under control" - which is absolutely subjective. With that standard, Starc's one is far more of a catch that Green's (off Gill) ever was. Now I don't even know what the actual rule is.

[@johnenglish929]

Absolutely right. It made me laugh whenBroad puts himself forward as some moral exemplar !Also the Starc catch was given not out because he was not in control of his own momentum when the ball was grounded, as the Law clearly states he must be.

[@anthonykent9387]

Stokes, as the batter at the other end should have been watching, to alert his batting partner what was happening. Both Bairstow and Stokes were not paying attention and it cost them their batting partnership. Don't blame the umpires or the Australians. The first responsibility of a batter is to protect their wicket.

[@shreeveda]

No one's talking bout the ups & downs in this 2nd Test match, Ben Stokes' great knock, Smith's century, Duckett's knocks in both innings, etc.. Sad. Just one legal run-out and all media is focussing only on that. It's only about views and not on Cricket.

Which shows the immaturity and in-experience of Cummins as a captain and a leader. Look at Dhoni/Bell incident when Dhoni called back Bell in spirit of the game because he was mature and experienced as a leader. He took that decision as a captain should. Cummins has neither and allowed the entire team to walk over him.

[@scdingundaroo]

Why should a captain deliberately ignore the laws of the game? OK, Bairstow deliberately ignores the laws of the game, because he is a pompous arsehat. But why should any sensible cricketer ignore the laws? Perhaps if Stokes was a mature leader he would have told Bairstow to stop leaving his crease when the ball was live?

Thankyou. It appears the England team, especially the captain and coach have had their say and whipped up a frenzy. The spirit of cricket is not in disagreement with the laws. The spirit is : congratulations to an opponent for a100, or a great bowling performance. Or A guard is honour for a retiring great. Or giving public praise to an opponent. Consolation to an opponent for failure, having a beer with your adversary, win loose or draw.... That's the "spirit of the game". Its got nothing to do with playing within the rules, and finding your opponent's weaknesses and trying the 1% ers..

[@jaikumarjadhav6575]

Any batsman when stumped is not taking any "advantage", he's just out of the crease. And that should mean he's out anyway. England should stop crying and worry about not losing 1 test/drawing 2 tests out of the 3 remaining and losing the Ashes at home for 1st time since 2001.

[@injanhoi1]

I noticed people that think it is against the spirit of the game have trouble grasping the law of when the ball is dead. So the best strategy is to ask them these questions. What if there was one run to win and one ball remaining? What if Carey missed the stumps and there was a chance to run? What if the ball thrown missed the stumps and went all the way to the boundary for 4? What if the ball hit a fielder, deflected and hit the stumps at the other end where Stokes was out of his crease? What if the ball thrown missed the stumps, hit Stokes's bat and went for 4? I don't think they will be saying the ball is dead for those situations.

Brad Hogg missis half of the rule out with the Starc catch incident - the catcher must have total control of the ball AND HIS BODY. Starc was not in control of his body until he came to rest on the ground at which point he had grounded the ball.

[@RegionalVariation]

I think Vaughan is pissed here - and still talking the most sense.

[@petergosney6433]

The collective pundits make three points that are relevant here. First, the ball is considered dead, only once it “comes to rest” in the keeper’s gloves. Second, Bairstow did not look around, to observe that fact. Third, by analysing video frame rates, the ball spent under 0.9 seconds in Carey’s gloves. So, here is a glaring fact that everybody seems to have missed. If the umpires were moving off, as if the over was finished, they were distinctly at fault. If the ball had not come to rest, they should not have moved.

[@collectivesartori]

Some of these English commentators are absolutely losing their minds over this. The ball was live, the batter is out. End of.

[@jonnewman6332]

Brad Hogg is so right. I'm surprised by Vaughan. The umpires stepping away and not watching proceedings has to mean 'over'. Doesn't it?

[@RGP_Maths]

No, it's over when the umpire calls "over", which they obviously hadn't, so Bairstow was out. The point about poor umpiring is different: since over had not been called, the ball was by definition still in play, so they should have been watching it and not need the third umpire. Bairstow thinking the ball was dead when it wasn't is dozy, but so are the umpires for not watching proceedings until it was dead. I don't think they can be blamed for triggering Bairstow's wandering though, only for inattention.

Hogg is 100% wrong, and Vaughn is a 100% right. Carey caught and released the ball in .800 of a second. It was a live ball, just because Bairstow was daydreaming it isn't the Aussies fault. On a side note, Bairstow has a new sponsor in Johnnie Walker 🤣🤣🤣

[@QanunAlShah]

If Aussies can get over Starc holding the ball for 3 seconds before grazing the grass and being called not out, surely the poms can handle the Carey holding the ball for 0.5 seconds before stumping Bairstow.

[@ronoccc]

idiotic comparison really. starc wasn't in control of the ball at all. he needed to fall with the ball scraping along the ground to land properly. never never out.

[@Aman-nk5uq]

3 secs?? Lmao. No way he had the ball for 3 secs before touching the ground

[@RGP_Maths]

When Starc caught the ball, was his palm up, or down? So why did he turn it over, when the objective of catching is to keep the ball off the ground. I continue to be astonished by the number of people who claim that should have been out. Why should it? He literally put the ball on the ground.

[@filename3094]

As an Aussie, I have to broadly agree. Umpires should have called not out, but don't blame Australia for claiming it.

[@davidhellewell687]

Cannot believe Michael Vaughan’s comment that it had nothing to do with the umpires on the field as they are the ones to call dead ball and over and given how far out his ground then Gaffney would give it out as if a batter is that far out of his ground for a run out or stumping then the umpire on the field gives it. The standing umpires don’t have to ask 3rd umpire for an opinion on anything except if the batter or on field captain asks for a review. Gaffney didn’t see it as he was walking in for next over at his end and bowler end was handing cap and glasses to bowler. Bairstow was stupid but would’ve seen both umpires behaving as if over ended and I also agree the umpires should have warned Bairstow similar to being close to no balling or running on pitch. I agree with Brad Hogg that it would have been much more fair had Carey tried it first time rather than waiting dozens of balls to do it as this was 4th ball in the over that Bairstow ducked and scraped behind crease then went gardening half way up pitch. A keeper doesn’t wait 10 opportunities to stump someone normally and will try it at 1st opportunity and that is what is suggestive of being unsportsmanlike and out of usual way of cricket and so within laws but not in the spirit or usual practices of cricket of keeper behaviour in a stumping. Stokes also said he would have withdrawn appeal and Buttler didn’t appeal in the obstructing the field incident and again Vaughan’s stating all the England players would have taken the wicket is bogus and the captains who didn’t withdraw appeals such as Collingwood forever have that as black mark on their reputation while a Vettori or Dhoni are forever praised.

It seems inconsistent to me to say the umpires were not watching AND the umpires clearly knew he was out [i.e. that the batter was out of his cease when the ball hit the wicket. How can they know that if they were not watching. So I suggest the umpire didn't go to the third umpire to decide if the over had been called - that makes no sense. The third umpire was called to decide the usual thing the position of the batsman when the ball hit the wicket.

l'm an Aussie and l am impressed with Vaughan's clear and firm interpretation ,no wonder he was a successful captain. 2 other ex england captains agree with Vaugan! if the umpies don't do their job then the captain has to do his job and Cummins did his job,,,end of! What was the umpie doing when Broard was clearly caught at first slip inAus

[@BitDef-gt7ex]

Brad Hogg should rescind all the wickets he took via stumping if he truly believes the ball is dead once it has reached the wicketkeeper 🙄Also, if the two officiating umpires thought the over was finished, they would have said so and not refer the stumping to the third umpire. Simple.

[@hafsahassan394]

I didn't have this view point before but Vaughan has really convinced me. I was blaming the bowling end umpire for not calling it over, if Stokes is telling the truth, rather than calling Aussies cheats for a bit of skill. But Vaughan is right. How can anyone, Stokes, umpires or bowler, just assume its dead ball when Carey takes a millisecond to throw the ball?

[@dannyjonze]

I'm glad they've cleared that up.

[@90srulz91]

It was thrown within a second (0.8 I believe) of Carey catching the ball. To argue that it wasn’t ‘live’ is ridiculous - the play was continuous. Bairstow has to take 100% of the responsibility.

[@neilatkins4916]

Means overthrows are a thing of the past too then, eh, if the ball is dead that fast?

[@johnsmith-ky5qg]

The difference at the end of the game was between Australia being cheered off the field or being booed off. Unsurprisingly they don't mind being booed, used to it by now.

[@sweetcell8767]

I didn’t think about it this way until I heard the over argument, particularly if the umpires were on the move with a shared understanding. That’s a decent argument. However, I’d be more inclined to think there was no shared understanding at all, rather the umpires were on the move prematurely. The speed with which it all happened; no ball is dead that quickly. It’s a wake up call for the umpires as much as Johnny.

[@styx_n_stonz]

Aussie here. If Cummins was a Batsman, rather than a bowler, does he retract the appeal? Maybe, maybe not. Secondly, Bairstow's own recorded on camera history shows him doing worse by waiting for players to lift their foot up while behind the line. Carey had no time to think, he just did. Actually, Carey had previous balls to think because he'd already seen Bairstow doing it. Spirit of Cricket is not about playing to rules...

[@siddhantagrawal5581]

THINKING that it’s the end of the over and actually CALLING ‘over’ are two very different things. Before the ball was dead, before they’d called over, the bails were on the ground.

[@robspunk]

So they found the only Australian with a different view. Wouldn't have helped England anyway, and Vaughn is 100% correct. England need to focus on winning the game rather than beating the Aussies because it'll never work like that.

[@brianjolly7889]

Actually, its the combination of a number of factors. The Jonny, the Ozzie captain, the Umpires, the players, are all contributing to the result. Its not just one factor

[@aquareefer4054]

Did he say "wicket leave"? lol. Ask yourself, if Bairstow saw it coming and got back to his crease and the ball bounced into clear space off the stumps would he have taken a run? Or stood there saying the ball was dead and running wouldn't be in the spirit of cricket? Those crying need to direct their anger at the lack of basic level of awareness of Bairstow, an under 12's cricketer wouldn't make that mistake.

[@dinandnozi2943]

Feel sorry for Michael Vaughan, talking to this three damn personalities 🥴

[@lukebursle6139]

The umpires had a lapse in concentration just like Bairstow. They should admit that. Doesn’t mean it’s over.

[@Bazballsux]

I have always thought Vaughny was bit of a bellend , now I respect him !

[@peterpearson1675]

as an Enland supporter I can only give my respect to Brad Hogg and his comments.

[@nigelbobbo]

Can someone explain to Vaughan exactly what they're saying. Totally missing the point

[@ddbdirty6919]

Vaughn the only one in the panel that understands the game properly.

[@TheGilbalfas]

I agree with Brad Hogg. A Beautiful Australian cricketer and a Lovely bloke.

[@Bazballsux]

Loved Hoggy as a cricketer , but it shows how some people who played cricket professionaly but still don’t know the laws. Opinions don’t matter, only the laws!

[@macca2342]

He wants more work in the England media, this is his opportunity.

[@designatek]

Always loved Michael Vaughan's insight and common sense. Fantastic captain, fantastic person
