True
There was a case with Dussey a few years back, would wonder if the two are comparable.

Seemed to me Stokes was concentrating on not being hit by the ball rather than protecting his wicket.
Inzi just couldn't be arsed to get back.

Seemed so to me. Stokes didn't exactly get back in time either.

I don't have a problem with that - it is England v Australia at Lord's after all

NZ might not have but that is because bmac is lovely. The rest? Dunno maybe Holder would have said no?
To be fair no blame on SMith whatsoever, he was out.

Stokes was about 4-5m out of his crease. Starc hurled it at full pace back at the stumps and looked on-target, would have run him out if he had hit. Stokes went to simultaneously evade and dive back at his crease and in doing so more or less caught the ball mid-air.

Yes. Stokes dropped down the order and Buttler rested for the remainder of the series.

Yeah, I'm not villainizing Australia, genuinely interested in the question.

I have no problem with your villainizing Australia - entirely appropriate to do so most of the time

Easier to argue he was out handled the ball imo, though he should still have got the benefit of the doubt

Yeah this was my initial thought, but wouldn't that run into exactly the same question? IIRC the caveat in both laws is identical.
