After the Jonny Bairstow dismissal controversy, Brendon McCullum remarks that it is “Hard To Share Beer With Australians”

On the last day of the Lord’s Test on Sunday, England coach Brendon McCullum voiced his unhappiness with Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal.

following the batsman carelessly departed the crease following the final delivery of a Cameron Green over with the ball still in play, Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey took the chance to run Bairstow out.

The third umpire was consulted in the judgement, and he decided in the Australians’ favour.

The decision was criticised by the stadium crowd, and video that surfaced even showed them addressing the visiting players in the Long Room. Usman Khawaja and David Warner interacted with the fans in ways that had never been seen before at the arena.

During the press conferences, players from both sides expressed a range of reactions to the incident’s aftermath. During a BBC interview, McCullum also said, “I can’t imagine we’ll be having a beer with them any time soon.”

Additionally, he said that if the home team had been presented with a comparable chance, they would not have taken it since it went against the spirit of the game.

McCullum was cited as stating, “I was fortunate enough to play for a long period of time and you learn over a long period of time that the game and the spirit of the game is so vital to this great game.” “It’s one thing we have that maybe other sports don’t have, and maintaining it is such a crucial component of it. In the end, you’ll have to live with the choices you make because that’s just how life is. However, I believe that if we had been in the same circumstance, we may have chosen differently.

In contrast to McCullum, Australia’s skipper Pat Cummins deemed the decision to be fair. “I believe Carey seen it happen a few balls earlier. No break was present. Grab it, then fling it towards the stumps. Cummins said, “I felt that was absolutely fair play.

Since Bairstow was seen leaving the crease a few times while the ball was not in play, the announcers’ confirmation of Cummins’ claim during the game was accurate.

In light of the issue, it is safe to assume that the third Test at Leeds will be another contentious match.

With victories at Edgbaston and Lord’s, Australia is one game ahead. To retrieve the urn, England must win in the last three Test matches.
