It's The Ashes (again)

[Ted Maul]

Bairstow's attempt wasn't the same as Carey's. The instance in question, Marnus was batting out of his crease to try and mitigate a moving ball, thus gaining advantage of it. Bairstow was attempting to run him out/stump him, but Marnus dragged his foot back in anyway. All aware, all normal cricket stuff. YJB even stood up to the stumps when Jimmy was bowling later to stop Marnus batting out of his crease.

In the case of the Bairstow wicket, he wasn't trying to gain an advantage. But it's still stupid, and it's excellent from Carey. Like I said, I don't particularly have any issue with it. You're correct, the moral outrage about the situation is absolutely ridiculous.

Not sure I agree on the outrage point. It's snide and smacked of a team who despite being miles better than England and more than capable of beating us without resorting to such tactics, were desperate and a bit scared. Not often I take the high ground on stuff like this, but I'm with Stokes - would I want to win like that, nope.
