Lord’s members scrap with ‘cheating’ Aussies after dodgy Bairstow run-out as Piers Morgan slams ‘pathetic’ Ashes stars

ENGLAND cricket fans raged after Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped out by Australian wicket keeper Alex Carey during the final day of the Second Ashes Test.

Bairstow, 33, ducked under a bouncer as the ball made its way through to Aussie keeper Carey.

The England batsman marked his crease and then wandered down the wicket, before Carey threw the ball at the stumps.

Bairstow was not given out on the field, but after the run out was checked he was sent packing as England were reduced to 193-6 in pursuit of 371.

And the Lord’s crowd were furious with the questionable way Australia managed to get Bairstow out as they labelled Pat Cummins’ side cheaters.

Journalist Ollie Holt tweeted: “Cries of ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’ ring around Lord’s after Bairstow dismissed in most controversial of circumstances.

“Surprised a team as good as Australia needs to resort to that.”

There were also loud chants of “Same old Aussies, always cheating”.

And Australia were booed as they made their way off the field for lunch.

They even appeared to receive a hostile reception from the members in the long room, with Usman Khawaja even engaging in a heated exchange with one individual.

David Warner also seemed to get involved in the exchange, before officials separated the two sides.

In response to the antics in the long room, Piers Morgan tweeted: “Wow.. Aussies getting into angry confrontations with booing MCC members as they return to the pavilion.

“Never seen that.. but then I’ve [never] seen an Australia side show so little regard for ‘spirit of the game’ in an Ashes Test..”

But others slammed Bairstow for his naive walk down the wicket.

One said: “That is just the best thing I’ve ever seen. What on earth was Bairstow thinking?!”

While another added: “Idiotic from Bairstow, but so unsportsmanlike from the Aussies. Poor all round.”

Bairstow was replaced at the crease by Stuart Broad – who has never been forgiven by Australia for refusing to walk when he edged behind at Trent Bridge in 2013.

But on this occasion the England bowler was the aggressor as he took aim at Carey for his actions.

Making his way to the middle, he told Carey: “You’ll forever be remembered for that.”
