  • Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by former England cricketer Sir Geoffrey Boycott, Conservative peer Lord Marland, Australian cricket commentator Melinda Farrell and Associate Editor of the Daily Mirror Kevin Maguire to discuss Australia's controversial win against England in the Ashes Test match after wicket-keeper Alex Carey stumped out Jonny Bairstow after the batsman thought play was dead.
    Piers suggests that he believes the blame lies with the captain Pat Cummins for not getting the decision overturned. Boycott agrees and believes that it is disappointing to see the captain not request for it to be reversed but finds it equally disappointing that he has not come out and apologised.
    Sir Geoffrey Boycott also adds that this has tarnished the game of cricket and believes that things like this will turn the game into gamesmanship and trying to find loopholes and advantages over the other team which is not what cricket is about.

    Michael Vaughan said he would have done the same thing as Cummins. Strauss, Hussain and Atherton all said they had no problem with it. Bairstow left his crease prematurely the 3 previous balls and it caught up with him. Brilliant keeping by Carey. Cummins rightly upheld it. The only people who tarnished cricket were the Lords crowd.

    Boycott should read the MCC's preamble about the "Spirit of the Game". In that it talks about "accepting the umpires decision". By this standard, England is the only one not playing by the "spirit of the game". Funny how Bairstow tried the exact same thing in this match - just wasn't good enough to execute it properly. Ask Colin De Grandholme about England and "spirit of the game". Double standards being applied by England here - selective memory is a fine thing.

    What Boycott misses in his pointless analogy is that bodyline was bloody dangerous. That's why Australians were up in arms about it, not because they lost. He also can't say why it was such a terrible thing to do, he did say however that Bairstow did the wrong thing though. Why does anyone need to apologize for following the rules? He's the very epitome of the "old man yells at cloud" meme.

      What Geoffrey Boycott - and his like - misses is that Bodyline was dangerous, the batsmen were targeted, with an intent to cause injury, if they did not step out of the way. In fact one Australian batsman was indeed struck by the ball & had to be taken off the field. Douglas Jardine is on record, on more than one occasion, as saying that he 'hated' Australians.

    @harryworth8527 Год назад +92

    There is a massive difference between the bodyline issue of the 30's, which was a direct threat to the safety and health of the batsman, and a clever piece of stumping by Alex Carey, where no one but the batsman's innings and honour was at risk. What happened was, Carey was particularly observant that Bairstow was very cavalier about protecting his crease and not waiting for the umpire to call over. When you watch the video Carey didn't hesitate and was opportunistic in achieving an outcome. Where Bairstow was lax in his duty as a batsman, Carey was on his game. When all is said and done it was the umpires who called it OUT! Why are you Brits so adamant on blaming the Aussies for playing what can only be called strategic top grade cricket. This is what you chaps have to remember, this is cricket at it's highest level, so a lesson for those who aren't paying attention and shame on those who call foul for what can only be called a very clever piece of cricket. It seems to me the only ones bringing disrepute to the game and not holding to the spirit of the game are those who abused the players.

      I think another good point about the bodyline series is exactly what Boycott said. Australia felt this wasn't something that should continue moving forward, and they pushed for changes to the laws so it wouldn't.
      THAT is the proper role of "the spirit of cricket". The "spirit" itself is too nebulous an idea to be something that directly dictates what can and can't happen. That's what the laws of the game are for. As Piers says, you really only know the spirit has been violated after the fact, when something happens that you feel wasn't what was intended to happen. Rather, the spirit of cricket is the thing that we use to decide what the laws should be.
      So I'm all up if, as in the bodyline series, someone wants to use this incident to start a conversation about whether these sorts of stumping are a good thing that we should keep allowing, or something we should revise the laws so they can't happen. That's a an excellent "spirit of cricket" discussion. But what I definitely don't think is "within the spirit of cricket" is to cite the "spirit of cricket" in order to fault the Australians for playing to the laws as they stand.

    Spirit of the Game exhibit A: Bairstow attempted the exact same thing by trying to catch Marnus Labuschagne stepping out of his crease two days ago.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit B: England coach Brendon McCullum has three instances of identical dismissals.{ Chris Mpofu-2005, Muthiah muralidharan- 2006 , Collingwood-2009} , (He then apologized after 10 years for one player SL.)
    Spirit of the Game exhibit C: Broad edging a ball to slip but refusing to walk, an edge the English quick has since admitted to.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit D: England keeper Ben Foakes stumping Irishman Andy Balbirnie after holding onto the ball for a far greater amount of time than what Carey did.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit E: The MCC long room behaved disgracefully. Not surprisingly three MCC members are now suspended.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit F: The crowd chanting that Australians are cheaters. Actually the only person convicted of cheating in this series is England's Moeen Ali.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit G: England bowling 'Body-Line' on day 4, for a record 98% short balls. Also extremely boring to watch - the opposite of so-called "bazball" entertainment.
    Spirit of the Game exhibit H : England vs New Zealand (2008) Grant Elliott Run out done by England players. while NZ BATTERS taking run single and England Sidebottom collided with him. Suddenly Collingwood took ball run out Elliott.
    I won't add Duckett not walking Starc's catch, because we respect that rules are rules.
    I also won't add England's controversial win over New Zealand in the World Cup final involving Stokes himself(when NZ player throwing ball to the stumps his bat intervent got him 6 runs) as there's been no shortage of comments about that.

Alex Carey had every right to throw down the stumping chance, it's part of cricket from the under 10s park to the international arena. w/keepers are taught from an early age that this form of dismissal is within the laws of cricket.

    1. "Have you seen any umpire tell a fielding side that the keeper standing back is not allowed to attempt a stumping?
    2. "Was there a complaint from anyone when Bairstow tried to stump Marnus exactly the same way in the first innings?
    3. "What has Jonny Bairstow said about his dismissal? He has been very quiet. Why?
    4. "My experience is when people don’t like a dismissal under the Laws of Cricket, they cite the Spirit of Cricket to support their view.
    5. "Which part of the codified Preamble (the Spirit of Cricket) was breached by the fielding side?
    6. "What did the fielding side do in effecting a legitimate dismissal that unfairly impacted the ability of the batter in their attempt not to be dismissed? (Did they run into him or distract him or prevent him making good his ground?)
    7. "Should a batter be immune from dismissal as per the Laws by simply being negligent (and leaving his ground too early)?
    8. "Did England retire Ben Duckett when they disagreed with the Starc catch decision as per the Laws and umpires’ decision?
    "The hypocrisy and lack of consistency from some people and groups is quite interesting and concerning for the future of our game.

    Nice way for England to deflect from the big issue here and that is that England's bowlers are not up to the level of Ashes cricket. England's batters swing that bat without fear and when it goes wrong they do not know how to consolidate an innings (its not T20). The England batting innings is over so quickly these days that their bowlers are not given enough rest so are tired having to backup so quickly. At the end of the day when you have 2 teams competing against one another, 1 team is looking to entertain and the other is looking to win. One of these team is up 2-0 and that is the not the team looking to entertain. C'mon Aussies.

    As much as I thought this was a somewhat snidey way of getting a player out, you just simply can't go comparing it to the body line incident, which was deeply embarrassing for, I'm sure most fair minded Englishmen at the time.
    The truth of the matter is we couldn't cope with Bradman and so they tried to intimidate him, I think he still averaged around 60 in the test series, despite our bowlers trying to hurt him.

    In the 1st innings Bairstow tried to do the same thing to an Australian batsman. And as a wicket keeper he should have known it could then happen to him, if he hasn't seen or heard the umpire call over. Morgan talks over the reporter when she tries to talk about Bairstow trying to do it earlier. Fair decision, Bairstows mistake.

    Boycott's comparison of Bodyline to an out-of-crease wicket is not an apples-for-apples comparison. Bodyline was an attempt to weaponize the bowler against the batsmen, by bowling hard and fast directly at them, in a deliberate attempt to FORCE the player out of crease, lest the player stay where he was and get injured. Essentially, that boils down to a deliberate attempt to injure the player. Jardine conceived of it as a strategy to try and take new players like Bradman out of play, because of how well they could hit the ball. Several players were badly injured by the Bodyline strategy, which included head injuries and concussions. To say that taking a sneaky wicket is in any way the same thing is a false equivalence and a gross mischaracterization. It makes one scenario seem a lot worse than it is, and the other sound not as bad as it was, by removing all the necessary context.

    • @michaelkearns9256
      @michaelkearns9256 Год назад +1

      ADDITION. Bodyline was were was a bowler bowled the ball directly at the opponents head without the ball hitting the wicket. That is to say, the point was to bowl full tossers at peoples heads to intimidate them with no chance of a wicket being taken so was NOT in the spirit of the rules at all. It was only a matter of time before someone got killed. They couldn't call it "headline" for obvious reasons... the headline being "headline"! A full toss at waist height is not a problem.

    What is funny is that the vast majority of opinions actually side with the Aussie team. A number of former England players and captains applauded Carey's quick thinking. The blight on this game is from the toffs in the Long Room. Shouting out "cheat" when there was no cheating and allegedly trying to trip Warner & Uzi.

      The thing I find most annoying is the 'lost opportunity' and 'haven't moved past Sandpapergate' drivel, which Piers Morgan pontificated at the time. Just because Aus did the wrong thing 5 years ago, and egregiously so, doesn't mean that from then on - perhaps forever - they must play to some moral standard higher than everyone else, including their opponents in highest stakes competitive matches. Australia and the relevant players were punished at the time - rightly, and the team has cleaned up its act so that, one thinks, it will never happen again. That's enough, without Aus having to then play on some kind handicap system for 5 years or eternity thereafter

      Look at the footage. Bairstow was in his crease when Carey threw it and it hit after he left it. Brilliant play. As soon as Carey caught that and threw it straight back at pitch, ball was in play. Them if he pegged it and it missed the stumps and went to the boundary, England would be given 4 runs.

The batsman is facing the ball and does exactly as Bairstow did and walked out of his crease thinking the ball is dead and Bairstow or whoever the keeper may be, throws the ball at the stumps and it hits and the batsman is out of his crease. England go up and celebrate the run out/stumping and England celebrate winning The Ashes.

    The Spirit of Cricket. (according to the MCC, short version)
    "Play hard and play fair.
    Accept the umpire’s decision.
    Show self-discipline, even when things go against you."
    .
    AUSTRALIA's cricket team - OK, in the 'spirit of the game' ... we have to suck up the Starc Catch ... We have to suck up that Lyons can't have a runner ... We have to suck up all those deliberately short deliveries aimed at Lyon's injured body ... We have to suck up that Bairstow was trying to 'stump' Warner and Labuschagne, despite them not leaving their crease or seeking advantage.
    ENGLAND (players, MCC members, commentators and PM) - YES, Australian's SUCK and they should apologise to us for ... making us jeer them ...calling them cheaters ... attempting to physically harm them ... and being un-sportsman like - because Bairstow was caught short being an absolute numpty.
