    Don’t rule out Broad doing a spot of Mankading at Headingley. He’s incensed.

    I’m hoping Stokes wins this game for us for a number of reasons, but the main one being that I will no longer have missed the greatest ever test match innings cos I’m a tight arse. I had the chance of a ticket for day 4 or day 5 at Headingley in 2019. I went for day 5, cos it was £25 and day 4 was £75. D’oh!

    I wouldn't have, Bairstow was at best stupid and at worse showing a total lack of respect for the laws of the game.
    If he had thrown it after Bairstow left the crease I would agree with you. You do not just walk out of your crease without knowing where the ball is.

    The commentators are all saying that Bairstow was a bit dozy which all things considered is right.

    It's not the way to play cricket but then again neither is getting the new boy to cheat for you hoping that if he gets caught he gets all the blame not the captain and vice captain but that's the Aussie way. Any team with Smith and Warner in it will cheat to win.

    If this isn't out then you might as well scrap the stumping law entirely. If he'd have overbalanced to a spinner and his toe was not behind the crease then is he out?

    What was the difference between this and any other stumping?

    I'd take Stokes to the next footie Euros in case we go to penalties, he's not missing.

    Not sure why we're complaining because it was out. More fool Bairstow the daft sod.

    It’s called sportsmanship … sadly lacking nowadays

    Then it's rather ironic Borad is at the crease.

    If Bairstow ironically had done the same thing to an aussie nothing would have been said

    Any other stumping is because the wicket keeper has caught the ball with the batsmen out of the crease. In this case he threw the ball whilst Bairstow was very much in his crease. Who does that? Only a wicket keeper who knows that this particular batsman leaves his crease when the ball goes dead. And as it got him out he clearly hadn’t warned Bairstow about it, so very similar to a Mankading.

    Nothing wrong with it? Okay, so then there’s nothing wrong with the bowler taking the bails off if the non-striker leaves the crease during his run up. Except there is. It’s bad sportsmanship, turning cricket into football.

    Apparently Bairstow was given not out in a county game earlier in the season in similar circumstances. Clearly didn't learn.

    I imagine he’ll take the bails off every single ball in Leeds.

    They’re absolutely fair game now, from here on.

    But that's just not correct. A batsman can overbalance after the ball has been caught, then lift his foot out of the crease and still be given out stumped.

    A mankad is a runout. Batsman leaving their crease early are gaining an advantage. That's fine, but there must be some risk to doing so.

    I just don't get the fuss about these things as aside from the fact they're quite rare they're all legitimate methods of dismissal.
