Ben Stokes, the captain of the England Test team, said that if he had to make a decision on an incident similar to the one involving Jonny Bairstow, he probably would have retracted the appeal. On Day 5 of the Lord's Test on Sunday, Bairstow was stumped. After leaving his crease to receive a ball from Cameron Green, the England keeper-batter threw down the stumps. The third umpire was consulted because the ball had been deemed "not dead," and Bairstow was given out for 10. The wicket caused England to lose a lot of ground in their pursuit of 371. Stokes scored an incredible 155, but they still lost by 43 runs.
The firing created a hostile environment at Lord's. Pat Cummins of Australia received booing from England supporters. As some prominent Australian players made their way to lunch in the Long Room, Lord's members accosted Usman Khawaja as well as David Warner.
I would have put more pressure on the umpires: Ben Stokes
Ben Stokes, the England skipper opened up on the BBC Test Match special about the controversial run-out. He said, "Jonny was in his crease, then out of his crease to come down and have the chat. I am not disputing the fact it is out because it is out. Would I want to win a game in that manner? The answer for me is no."
Stokes also discussed the criticism that Bairstow erred in leaving his position so quickly since the ball was not a "dead" one.
The Chennai Super Kings all-rounder said, “When is it justified that the umpires have called over? Is the on-field umpires making movement... is that enough to call over? I'm not sure."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 and if I would want to do something like that."
