    I mean it would obviously be a bit hypocritical as a Kiwi to say the Aussies were wrong given we’ve got people out in similar fashions. But clearly Bairstow goofed here; the ball wasn’t dead and he just wandered out. Its a dumb dismissal sure, and but its equally dumb that he did it, and that the Aussies appealed it. Either way, appealing to the spirit of sportsmanship or cricket or whatever has long gone.

      I’m English. Think it was just stupid from Bairstow.

      I don’t think the English would have withdrawn I’m the same circumstances, no matter what they say.

        Yeah didn’t we have a run in at one point where there was a collision between batsman & fielder and Collingwood appealed for the wicket? I can’t remember if it was eventually withdrawn or not but I know our kiwi players were steaming at the time.
