Carey should be commended on the execution. Keepers often miss with those throws with the ball in the glove. He had only one chance, because once he tried it, Bairstow would be onto it. Carey watched him stupidly walk out of his crease every ball of the over and could have tried it any time, but he waited until the pattern was firmly established and then went for it.

It was excellent cricket from Carey and you can guarantee 100% if Bairstow had pulled this off against Labs, the Poms would be lauding how brilliant it was and how it was so Bazball by thinking outside the box to do things nobody else does. No way in hell Stokes would call the batter back. He'd be whooping it up like the rest of his self indulgent and arrogant teammates.
 
I’ve never heard that…must have been a local thing

Once you have control of the ball, it’s a catch - you can chuck it away, roll it to the bowler…put it on the ground, it’s still a catch
I'm still outraged by a time in junior cricket when after taking a catch I threw the ball in the air to celebrate and the umpire gave it not out because i didn't catch it again! Douchebag had nfi

I actually recall taking a wicket pretty much the same way in park cricket.

I wasn't primarily a bowler and I wasn't quick, but for park cricket I was certainly quick enough to have the keeper stand back to me.

I bowled the ball, it went through to the keeper, he had a ping at the stumps, hit them and because the batsman was asleep he caught him out of his crease.

On ya bike. :)
 
Tbf he did also earlier say that bairstow was an idiot for leaving crease
TBF if a thousand monkeys type randomly, they'll be as correct as a broken clock, twice a day. So once in a 5 day test is actually pretty poor.
 
As I assume many have been saying on here, I don't exactly love the Bairstow dismissal, but the hypocrisy of England having a whinge and saying they would have withdrawn the appeal is hilarious, because people have just dragged out all the occasions where they (and McCullum did exactly the same). Including Bairstow in the same bloody Test. If it's cheating, England are cheats too. Stop trying to scramble to some imaginary high moral ground.

Better team won in the end, despite all the nonsense.
100% its sour grapes and disgusting from the English team

Absolutely nailed it mate, 100% it would be lauded as Bazball genius if it was the other way around.

I don’t particularly love the dismissal but you reap what you sow - **** these whiny little pommy campaigners, all gloves are off now I want to beat them in the worst possible fashion.

This is the most enjoyable series in a long long time
 
Watching this, the funniest thing is the short leg fieldsman (not sure who it is) when he sees the ball hit the stumps.

He turns to appeal to the square leg umpire. "Whoops, he's not there, he must be on the other side of the pitch".

Didn't notice it last night.



Haha the 360 degree appeal from Marnus!
 
McCullum and Stokes are talking about the spirit of the game, could someone ask them is it within the spirit of the game to bowl short intimidation bowling at a number eleven batsman who has a torn calf muscle. If they are going to recite spirit of the laws sermons at matches then how about informing everyone what those spirit of cricket laws are.
 
Someone earlier referenced Johnny Walker - if a talented person could redo this logo:

But change:

Walker to Bairstow.
Make the mad hold a cricket bat instead of a cane, wear a cricket helmet instead of a top hat, and pads instead of boots..... that would be gold.

and the treatment of the Aussie players when entering the change rooms through the Long room by the MCC members was an absolute disgrace they should be fined and banned for life
Imagine spending thirty years on the waiting list of the MCC only to throw it away because you don't understand the game properly.
