Jonny Bairstow controversy 3 MCC members suspends over fight with david warner usman khawaja Ashes

London: The excitement of The Ashes 2023 is at its peak. On the 5th day of the second Test of the series, a major controversy took place regarding the dismissal of Johnny Bairstow. Bairstow was controversially run out after which the home crowd in the stadium accused the Australian players of foul play. Even as the players of the team were going towards the pavilion for the lunch break, the spectators were still chanting ‘traitors, traitors’. Australian players David Warner and Usman Khawaja were also abused by MCC members in the ‘long room’ on the way to the dressing room. MCC has taken strong action on this and suspended 3 members. Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) later apologized to the Australian team for the misbehavior in the ‘Long Room’ by some of its members. Also, it has been said by the MCC that those who abuse and ‘manhandle’ Australian players will be investigated. Not only this, MCC has also suspended 3 members. Actually, Bairstow let the bouncer ball of Cameron Green go into the hands of the wicketkeeper. He then went out of the crease before the ball was ‘dead’ and went to his partner standing at the other end, meanwhile wicketkeeper Alex Carey hit the ball on the stumps.

Lord’s is one of my favorite places. There is always respect at Lord’s, especially from members in the Long Room, but that was not the case today. this is so embarrassing.

Usman Khawaja, Australian player

This left Bairstow stunned. On this, the third umpire called him stumped out after watching the replays. Bairstow walked towards the pavilion shaking his head in disappointment. Stokes expressed his anger against this decision in front of the on-field umpires. Meanwhile, the spectators present at Lord’s started chanting ‘traitors…traitors…’ for the Australian team.
At this time England’s score was 193 runs for six wickets. The team needed another 178 runs to win. But at this time Stokes, who was batting on 62, took out his anger on Green and hit three fours in his over. He completed his century by hitting a four and then a hat-trick six in the next over of this bowler. England scored 24 runs from this over. Stokes took just 16 balls to reach his century by 62 runs.

MCC apologized for the behavior of some members. I think some of them may lose their membership because of their behavior. Other than that one time, they’ve been great all week.

Pat Cummins, Captain of Australia

He shared a 108-run partnership for the seventh wicket with Stuart Broad (11) to raise hopes of victory, but after his dismissal, the match turned towards Australia. Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and captain Pat Cummins took three wickets each for Australia. In response to Australia’s 416 runs in the first innings, England’s first innings was reduced to 325 runs. Australia had scored 279 runs in the second innings.
