It's The Ashes (again)

[rsbaggy2]

They've been showing Bairstow going walkies running up to his stumping yet the Aussies didn't do anything about it. Why Carey chose to do it then and not in the previous deliveries is anyones guess. Looking at the replays they could have done it before but chose not to. Why?

I wonder if they warned him that if he continues to leave his crease they'll throw the ball at his stumps? It's just smart and opportunistic cricket. I've absolutely no issues with it. My frustration and criticism is aimed at Bairstow.

Why criticise Bairstow he did nothing he hadn’t been doing all innings, ball passes Carey catches passes ball on, Bairstow walks forward. No different except a tosser behind the stumps wants his revenge for Duckett reprieve. Cheating Aussies.
That’s my lot on this.

Just because Bairstow thinks it's over doesn't mean the ball is dead. That is not his decision to make. Carey released the ball (without any real force) whilst Bairstow was still in his crease.  Therefore does that make it over and dead ball?
