Bairstow "run out"

If the wicket keeper makes a mistake, the batsmen can profit from it with runs and not a word is said

If the batsman makes a mistake, apparantly the wicket keeper isn't allowed to profit from it, he will get dogs abuse if he does, so he's got to be a good sport

On top of that...if the wicket keeper makes one mistake, it will no doubt be punished

The batsman is allowed to make the same mistake several times without the wicket keeper doing anything about it..but if he dares to try and catch him out after he's watched him do the same thing over and over....oh what a sneaky move, that's cheating, so unsportsmanlike

It's lunacy....fcking lunacy

That’s an awful comparison.

It was the fact it was the end of an over, the time where a batsman leaves the crease to talk to the other batsman.

A prescedent has been set now.

That’s the crux of it for me. It was blatant what he was doing, walking down the pitch at the end of the over like all batsmen do. People acting like he was trying to take a quick single, they’re thick as feck.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Literally no one thinks he was trying for a run.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So everyone , including the opposition, knows he wasn’t trying for a run and that he thought it was the end of the over, which it basically was, semantics aside. It shouldn’t have happened.

Everyone knew the ball wasn't dead apart from Bairstow cos he didn't look. Entirely his fault. Who cares what Bairstow was doing whilst the ball was live

It isn't...it really isn't

If the batsman is going to continually leave his crease without looking or checking to see if the ball is dead...it's no worse than a wicket keeper letting what should be an easy catch slip past him because he didn't concentrate enough and just took things for granted

Not the same at all.

It really is

All Bairstow has to do is fcking stand there for a few seconds...that's it

He doesn't, he makes an assumption, he's not focused enough

Listen to Nasser Hussain talking after the result yesterday....Austraila were ruthless and clinical, and they did so all well within the rules.....England were lax and not switched on enough....all this nonsense is all down to an error made my one man, and he wasn't playing for Australia

Look, if you think that’s a valid comparison then it’s utterly pointless saying anything else to you.

I might have the wrong poster, but didn’t you say that you don’t really know much about cricket?

Dunno about Steve, but I said it several times.

My query, though, was regarding whether the whole 'spirit of the sport' argument should not equally apply to England's bowling the day before. Not because I know better, but because of what I read about it in the papers and the information I've been given here.

It just seems odd that it's just been swept under the carpet when just 24 hours before it was seemed to be heavily questionable even for English cricket writers.

I think you’ve made it pretty clear that it’s utterly pointless putting any point of view to you if it’s not one you share

Forgive me if I was being a good sport by not agreeing with you, I know how touchy you cricket fans get with this stuff

Barstow made a mistake…he got punished

Other people in this sport make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake

Other people in other sports make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake

Only in Cricket would anyone try and defend someone and cry foul, for simply switching off and blatantly ignoring what was happening on the field behind them
