It has been over 48 hours since Australia beat England in the Lord’s Test and took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Debates over the result may have died down, however, talks about the Jonny Bairstow incident involving Alex Carey remain a hot topic in world cricket.
England looked down the groove to chase 371 at Lord’s on the fifth day, despite losing five wickets, thanks to what was only a third-plus 150 for Ben Stokes in Test cricket. At the other end, leaving the last ball in the 52nd goal, Bierst clears the crease almost immediately and begins to move towards his partner. He thinks the ball is dead, but Alex Carey ensures that an underarm throw hits the stumps and the Australians begin to celebrate. Bairstow looks confused. The third official, Marais Erasmus has a check and considers the Englishman out. A few words are exchanged between the two groups of players in the middle.
The first joke was captured moments later when new hitter Stuart Broad said to Curry, “That’s all we’ll ever remember.” The prestigious Lord’s Long Room will turn out to be a sinister end to the football experience for Australia. Within countless opinions, supporters of the movement have been suggesting that bewilderment – albeit by the book – is not in keeping with the ‘spirit of cricket’. And there it was. This mysterious old term again.

But was the example new to world class cricket responding to the way it did? The Indian Express looks back at similar runs/stumps for similar reasons.
When Johnny Bristow was “too smart” against Samit Patel
Jonny Bristow in 2023 may want to look away. In 2014, the young goalkeeper, while playing for Yorkshire in the County Championship, caught the stumbling block of left fielder Samit Patel. This was not one of those regulations. As Patel let a ball roam his leg, Bairstow collected the same and kept his glove close to the stumps, and just as the New Zealand international raised his back foot to adjust his position, the England keeper raised the bails.

while on-air commentators described the maneuver as “very, very clever on the part of Johnny Bairstow” while also noting that it was “shoddy” on Patel’s part. After the match, the Yorkshire keeper said with a straight face, “It’s within the rules of the game, and that’s the way it is.”
When Brendon McCollum scored a hat-trick
Not one, not two, but three runs out can fall into the same category as stimulating the ‘Spirit of Cricket’ debate. Again in 2006, when Sri Lanka were nine years behind, Kumar Sangakkara scored a magnificent century to save his team. But as soon as he raised his bat after one song, there was a celebration that ran out at the other end. After hitting his bat at the striker’s end, Muttiah Muralitharan quickly returned to congratulate his partner, but New Zealand keeper McCollum would dismiss him under the Laws of the Game as the ball was not dead yet.
I hope Brendon McCollum doesn’t forget what he did to Chris Mpofu and Zimbabwe in 2005 😅🙏🏼🙏🏼 #Ashes23 # Ash pic.twitter.com/LUJPOHdkju

A year ago, McCollum had cut fifty celebrations for Blessing Mahoe after Chris Mpofu paid to join the festivities too early. During the 2009 Champions Cup, the incident was different. Such were his results. Against England, when McCollum collected goalkeeper Kyle Mills with a jump behind the stumps, he saw Paul Collingwood outside his crease and took a chance at the stumps. While the example was another well within the laws, then New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori withdrew his appeal. “According to the laws of the game it would probably be out of the game, but lately we’ve been discussing a lot about the spirit of the game,” he said after the match.
From justifying himself as a player by saying, “I never thought it was wrong to do it, the rules are there and you can’t reward stupidity” to saying as a head coach, “When you get older and more mature, the perception and spirit of the game is something you need to protect,” McCollum certainly cut. A long way.
Friendly reminder to all England fans – Brendon McCollum tried to do the same for Paul Collingwood in 2009.

When Tony ran out of Gregg Clalicharan
Prior to Barstow and Carey, the most notorious run-out incident was when a batsman was walking away thinking the ball was dead and not in play. In fact, batsman Alvin Kalikaran thought not only was it the end of the match, but the end of the day’s play.
Derek Underwood had bowled the last ball of the second day in the 1973-74 Port of Spain Test against the West Indies and Bernard Julien had bowled it to Tony Greig on a ridiculous point.
Everyone thought the day was over. Julian turned and walked back, Alan Knott, the wicket-keeper, removed the bail and uprooted the stumps, and non-striker Alvin Kallicharan, backing a few yards, continued walking, heading wide off the field, without turning back. to his wrinkle. Gregg turned, hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end, and pleaded for a run out. Referee Douglas Sang Hue, who didn’t call the time, passed Kalicharan after slight hesitation. After a hostile reaction from the crowd after the stumps and heated discussions between the two teams’ management, the ruling was overturned overnight and the English management issued a statement “In the best interest of cricket as a whole, and the future of this tour in particular… the appeal against the batsman is withdrawn”. The statement also carried an apology from Gregg, who “in no way intended for his instinctive actions to conflict with the spirit of the game.” As things turned out that evening, Gary Sobers had to drive Greg back to his hotel, feeling that the angry mob would not harm Greg as long as he was with him.
When Rishabh Pant was penalized in the U-19 World Cup final
The 2016 Under-19 World Cup has produced a host of new superstars for Indian cricket, none bigger than Rishabh Pant. In his first ICC tournament, Pant smashed 267 runs. However, in the final, South Bow’s opener was replayed early after West Indies under-19s keeper Tevin Imlach collected it after a leave of absence from a punt and went at the stumps. Bullseye and batting first, India lost their leading batsman early on. Wickets continued to fall and the Rahul Dravid-coached team was dismissed for 145 and the Windies won by five wickets.
When John Emburey ran out an absent-minded Chris Srikanth came out of the crease
It was Krishnamachari Srikanth’s first Test in 1981 and the man famous for his outings to square leg, nose sniffing, and general air of nonchalance and fun even when he was batting bowling, did an unforgettable job.
He was out for a duck in the first innings, reaching 13 in the second when he steered a ball into the gully and, to the astonishment of even the unstriated striker Sunil Gavaskar, wandered outside the crease for a bit of gardening or perhaps because he felt like it. John Emburey, the England non-runner, aimed for the striker end and that was it. Srikanth had to go back.
