England captain Ben Stokes<\/a> insisted he would not have wanted to win a game of cricket with the kind of dismissal that led to Jonny Bairstow<\/a>‘s controversial exit during Australia’s victory in the second Ashes Test at Lord’s. Shortly before lunch on Sunday’s final day, Bairstow — the last of England’s recognised batsmen — fell for 10 in bizarre fashion when he wandered out of his ground after ducking a Cameron Green<\/a> bouncer and quick-thinking wicketkeeper Alex Carey<\/a> under-armed the ball onto the stumps.<\/p>\n

Bairstow thought he had secured his ground by tapping his bat behind the crease.<\/p>\n

Australia captain Pat Cummins<\/a> could have withdrawn the appeal but the decision was referred to third umpire Marais Erasmus, who ruled Bairstow had been stumped, with England now 193-6 chasing a target of 371.<\/p>\n

As spectators jeered the decision and taunted Australia with chants of “Same old Aussies, always cheating”, an angry Stokes then on 62, launched a blistering assault on the bowling.<\/p>\n

The all-rounder made a stunning 155 but his brilliant innings could not prevent England falling to a 43-run defeat as Australia went 2-0 up in the five-match series.<\/p>\n

Bairstow had been dismissed off the last ball of the over, with Stokes suggesting the movement of the umpires may have led him to think the ball was dead.<\/p>\n

“When is it justified that the umpires have called over?,” Stokes told the BBC.<\/p>\n

“Is the onfield umpires making movement, is that enough to call over? I’m not sure. Jonny was in his crease then out of his crease. I am not disputing the fact it is out because it is out.”<\/p>\n

However, he added: “If the shoe was on the other foot I would have put more pressure on the umpires and asked whether they had called over and had a deep think about the whole spirit of the game and would I want to do something like that.<\/p>\n

“For Australia, it was the match-winning moment.<\/p>\n

“Would I want to win a game in that manner? The answer for me is no.”<\/p>\n
