It's The Ashes (again)

[rsbaggy2]

Why aren't you criticising Bairstow for being an idiot? He's been given out for similar in the past, and as you say he was leaving his crease after every delivery. He hasn't learned from past mistakes and has been punished for stupidity and could have cost England a win (again, this time with the bat as opposed to with the gloves). 

I really don't understand the issue. It's avoidable from Bairstow and within the laws of the game. Australia have seen an opportunity and ruthlessly taken it. I'd be loving it if Bairstow got Smith out in that way. It's clever cricket from Australia and it's brain dead cricket from us.

The issue is you this is not cricket, that’s 3 dismissal’s in 2 two tests that wer not out but given by incompetent umpires and cheating Aussies.

This is out by the letter of the law. Even if I think it's a scummy way to get him out, it's still out by the letter of the law. If the Aussies claim it what are the umpires supposed to do?

He taps his foot before moving out of his crease ball should have been dead. As I’ve said incompetent umpires. It certainly woke up Stokes though hasn’t it.

It doesn't matter what the batsman does, the ball is dead when the wicketkeeper or bowler get the ball and motion the play is dead. There is nothing the umpires can do except give it out if the Aussies are calling for it.

Correct even if it is not sporting.
