Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord\u2019s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series.<\/p>\n

Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over.<\/p>\n

The umpire had not called \u201cover\u201d and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game. But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins.<\/p>\n

On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again. \u201cIf there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would. To see how much has played out since then it\u2019s been a little bit surprising. There\u2019s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes \u2013 there was nasty stuff said before that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

But speaking to the Daily Telegraph<\/em>, Bairstow said he was not \u201cfair game\u201d as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re starting out of your crease, you\u2019re trying to gain an advantage,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease… That\u2019s the bit \u2013 if you try to gain an advantage, then it\u2019s fair game. But if you\u2019re starting in your crease, you\u2019ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched. I\u2019ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease. I don\u2019t think you want that filtering down into kids\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt might tarnish people\u2019s enjoyment of the game that we\u2019re trying to get kids into. You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several of Australia\u2019s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping. In interviews for The Grade Cricketer<\/em>, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow\u2019s England teammates were laughing with Australia\u2019s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident.<\/p>\n

And Marnus Labuschagne described a \u201csteaming\u201d Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping. He recalled: \u201cThe Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen. And, as you do, everyone\u2019s watching. Obviously, seeing us all watch, he\u2019s like, \u2018Are you guys happy with that?\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cDavid Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, \u2018Yeah, very\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s conjecture around everything,\u201d he said. \u201cFingers underneath the ball when the ball\u2019s still touching the ground. Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground. Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg. Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord\u2019s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball. However, they were splayed widely. But that was given out, that\u2019s fine \u2013 it\u2019s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination. England next play Sri Lanka on Thursday in Bangalore.<\/p>\n
