Credit:England skipper Ben Stokes echoed his coach’s view when asked about the incident after the game, referencing again “the spirit of the game”.
“If the shoe was on the other foot, I would probably just have to have a little think around the whole spirit of the game,” Stokes said after the Lord’s Test. “I would have had to have a real think around the spirit of the game, and would I want to potentially win a game with something like that happening — and it would be no.”
Ugly scenes in the Lord’s Long Room erupted after the incident, with three MCC members expelled from the club for the abuse they hurled at the Aussie players in reaction to the dismissal, which is legal under the rules their predecessors wrote.Though tensions between the two sides had appeared to ease in the three Test matches since, with Stokes even indicating after the game that relations between the two sides had a friendly tone.
