Australia Prime Minister taunts Rishi Sunak following Jonny Bairstow's controversial Ashes dismissal
Australia's cricket team have received the backing of prime minister Anthony Albanese as he defended their actions over Jonny Bairstow's dismissal.
However the umpire had not signalled the end of the over, with a quick-thinking Carey seizing his opportunity to take the wicket - leading to cries of 'same old Aussies, always cheating'. Asked whether Australia's actions were not in keeping with the spirit of cricket, a spokesman for Mr Sunak said: "Yes."The Prime Minister agrees with Ben Stokes. He said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner Australia did."
