I have no problem with it. It's woke Stokes up and he is fuming. He's taking it out on the bowlers.

Seriously though I'd have took it if it was the other way round.

Was so disappointed when Dhoni called back Ian Bell all those summers ago. And when Ashwin was roasted for the Butler runout in India. Both were legit cricketing dismissals.
If you can't stay inside the crease until the ball is dead then it is fair to run you out. You can be English or Aussie or Indian. The rules are the same.
Grinning at the fact that Bairstow will think twice before putting on the "I am a busy batsman and I own the pitch" act again with that body language forgetting the very basics of cricket.
Watching the dismissal in loop. So satisfying, really.
As the great man would say "Cricket is the winner here"

It’s perfectly fair to dismiss someone like that IMHO.

Have avoided the Ashes sub forum so I’ll just say this about the various incidents in this game: the Ashes brings out the worst in everyone involved.

This series so far proves the adage that history repeats first as tragedy and then as farce.
