Jim Maxwell on "the incident" says that the umpire's surely should have offered the opportunity to withdraw the appeal because yes, you can do it within the rules, but it just leaves a bad taste in the mouth-the spirit of the game is important,
I don't really get all the fuss. This kind of dismissal actually happens at lower levels more often than you think and keepers are often underarming at the stumps to catch the batsman out of the crease.

I think it looked worse here because Bairstow so quickly walked out of the crease without waiting

Some disappointing behaviour by the members in the Long room, they know better.

Rules are made to be followed.
If I'd had been in the longroom, not that I would gave been, I'd have nutted Warner or Labushchagne- nevermind shouted at them.

I thought the Aussies complaining was pathetic as well considering what players from all sides put up with on the pitch

We don't know what was said.

And in general - and this goes for the Aus crowds too which have been horrendous at times in the last few years, especially at Sydney - I have a pretty low tolerance for spectators abusing players in professional sporting games. It's their game, not yours, you're just invited to watch.

I do understand their thinking to be fair. Happy to give up 1.5rpo and daring Stokes to try a slog. Eventually he did and it got them the wicket.
Yeah I just think they’d have got Broad earlier if he’d faced more balls

Sheesh that’s rattled him. Not good
