Even though the Lord's Test match involving England and Australia players concluded on the field on Sunday, it is still being covered by media outlets in both nations. The Australian media responded on Tuesday morning by calling Ben Stokes as well as his side "crybabies" after the British media on Monday made fun of the Australian squad over the contentious dismissal of Jonny Bairstow. When Stokes noticed that one particular newspaper pages had gone famous on social media, he couldn't help but respond in a hilarious way.

'Crybabies' was prominently displayed in the centre of a photo of Stokes wearing diapers that The West Australian uploaded online. Another line from the publication stated, "Poms take whingeing to new level with 'cheating' rubbish. Stokes responded to the article by writing, “That's definitely not me, since when did I bowl with the new ball."

Ben Stokes and Pat Cummins comment on Jonny Bairstow's dismissal

Stokes claimed that he would not be interested in winning a game in such a way in response to the contentious Jonny Bairstow dismissal. However, the England captain acknowledged that everything that occurred on the field complied with the regulations of the match. Ben Stokes said after the match, "If the shoe was on the other foot I would have put more pressure on the umpires and asked whether they had called over and had a deep think about the whole spirit of the game. Would I want to win a game in that manner? The answer for me is no."

Pat Cummins, the captain of Australia, believes Carey acted appropriately, particularly in light of the fact that Bairstow has previously been implicated in similar dismissals. Pat Cummins, on the other hand had an opposing view to this claim. He said, “I think Carey saw it happen a few balls previously, three or four balls previously, and there's no pause, catch it, straightaway and throw at the stumps. I thought it was totally fair play. That's how the rule is. Some people might disagree. That's how I saw it.”
