England batting star Jonny Bairstow has pointed the finger at Australia’s on-field behaviour during the Ashes, declaring his controversial Lord’s dismissal could “tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game” if it was mirrored at lower levels.
In extracts from a new book about England and the Ashes series called Bazball published in the Telegraph in England, Bairstow called out several catches claimed by the Australians and backed his captain Ben Stokes’ view that his stumping by Alex Carey was not in the spirit of the game.
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease. I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket. Look at the Mankads and everything like that. You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that.“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into.
Bairstow was adamant he had “moved on” from the dismissal that caused ugly scenes in the members at Lord’s, with Australian players heckled and abused as they left the field.
