London: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed displeasure over England’s Jonny Bairstow being run out in the second Test (The Ashes) match. He said that this is a move against sportsmanship. But he accepted the suspension of the Marylebone Cricket Club member who abused the Aussie players. He said that this punishment is fair. After Bairstow’s controversial dismissal, angry members taunted the Aussies as they made their way to the dressing room.
Ben Stokes and Ben Deckett, who went into bat on the final day in the match that ended on Sunday at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground here, built a good innings and led the team to victory. But Ben Deckett (83) scored runs and surrendered the wicket. After that, the experienced Jonny Bairstow (Jonny Bairstow) emphasized on the aggressive game from the beginning. He hit 2 boundaries and gave the Aussies a headache. At the same time, he avoided Cameron Green’s bouncer attack and left the crease and moved forward.
Wicket keeper Alex Carey saw Jonny Bairstow leave the crease and threw the ball to the wicket in the blink of an eye. The Aussie players strongly appealed to the umpire to be out. But what is happening here? Bairstow and Stokes did not understand why the Aussie players were appealing for out. The third umpire reviewed the Aussie’s appeal and announced that it was out. According to ICC rules, there is no error in Bairstow being out, he had left the crease before the ball became dead according to the rules. But the logic here was that the Aussie players have not forgotten their sportsmanship.

On the same issue, after the England captain Ben Stokes match, there is no sadness in the umpire’s decision, but it is really sad that the Aussie players have forgotten sportsmanship for victory. “We don’t want to win the game in this way for any reason,” he said. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who accepted Stokes’ words, said that the Aussie players had indeed shown a game that was against sportsmanship, a London sports newspaper reported.
