New footage shows Australia players abused at Lord’s as three MCC members are suspended after fiery Ashes Test
THE METRO SAYS New footage has emerged showing the Australian team being heckled at Lord’s in an incident that led three MCC members to be suspended after the Ashes Test.
The Australia players were confronted by some MCC members in the Lord’s pavilion after the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow on day five of the second Ashes Test.
Tempers flared after Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey stumped Bairstow, who left the crease believing the ball to be dead at the end of the 52nd over of England’s second innings.
While the dismissal was legitimate, some have argued it was against the spirit of the game and suggested Pat Cummins should have withdrawn the appeal, with Ben Stokes later saying he would not want to win ‘that way’.
