Sydney, Australia). The Ashes 2023 left many controversial moments in cricket, the most notable of which was Jonny Bairstow’s run out by Alex Carey after he prematurely stepped out of the crease after avoiding a short-pitched delivery.

Bairstow’s run out sent shockwaves across the cricket world as both the former cricketers of the team got involved in a heated argument. Some justified the run-out, while others took it as sporting spirit.

“I wouldn’t want to win a game like that,” the English captain added.

In a video posted on Twitter earlier by 7cricket, Marnus Labuschagne relived the moment and recalled David Warner’s reaction when Bairstow questioned whether the Aussies were happy with the result.

“I was in the lunchroom! Johnny was furious. The sky crew was repeatedly showing the outs and everyone was watching it. Seeing us all engrossed, he asked if we were happy with it. David Warner spit out his chicken Gave it and said, ‘Yes. Lots.’ There was no other response.”

This whole moment happened on the final day of the second test. The Englishmen, chasing a mammoth target of 371, were caught under-arm by Australian wicket-keeper Alex Carey after Bairstow left the crease early.

Also, Bairstow was given out by the TV umpire and the whole discussion started after that.

Australia won the match by 43 runs and went ahead 2–0 in the series. However, the thrilling Ashes 2023 series ended in a 2-2 draw with Australia defending the title.

In an interview to Sky Sports, Australian captain Pat Cummins defended Carey’s actions and said he did everything within the rules.

“To be honest, it doesn’t really bother me. We’ve been brilliant, and I think that showed again on the fifth day (at Lord’s). We didn’t do anything wrong, we were all comfortable with it. “
