I really think ' Just Stop Oil ' will have missed a trick if they don't invade when Carey comes out to bat and cover him in orange powder. Orange dog shite would of course really get the public behind them! :LOL:

Indeed. Bairstow was neither feigning to take a run or perhaps had taken his guard way out of the crease. The best result was that they should have withdraw the appeal. But as as say they were desperate and sending Bairstow was critical.

I don't have a problem with a Mankad particularly when there's a run chase and the non striker is taking the piss by backing up way too far. However, even in that scenario I think the laws should stipulate that the bowler give the non striker one clear warning. Here's the total shitehousery...
