the ashes 2023 Jonny Bairstow Out or not-out What the MCC laws say about run-out

Criticism of Australia telling against sports spirit

However, when the team’s score was 301 runs, he returned to the pavilion as the seventh wicket. The tailenders put up a fight, but they could not prevent Australia from winning by 43 runs. With this win, the visiting team has taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. For this defeat, the English team and fans are accepting the run out of Johnny Bairstow. There is a lot of controversy about this and the English camp says that if they were in Australia’s place, they would not have done this to win. People are calling it against the spirit of the game. Let us know how right and wrong it is to give Bairstow out….

What do the MCC rules say on Bairstow’s dismissal?

According to the Dead Ball Laws (Law 20) of the MCC i.e. Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), Articles 20.1.1 and 20.1.1.1 say – The ball is not dead when the ball is in the hands of the wicketkeeper or bowler . Under 20.1.2 if the ball reaches the hands of the wicketkeeper or fielder and the batsman is not active, the ball is considered dead. Here, if we apply Law 20.1.1.1 to Bairstow’s case, then the ball was not dead when the English batsman left the crease. Because till then the ball had not reached the wicketkeeper.
Carey immediately after catching the ball hit the ball towards the stumps. Bairstow was out of the crease. If we apply Rule 20.1.2 it is again clear that the ball was not dead, as the fielding side clearly did not consider the ball to be dead. As per 20.2, it is for the umpire to decide whether the ball was dead or not. In this case the third umpire Marais Erasmus clearly concluded that the ball was not dead. This is why Bairstow was (correctly) adjudged out.

Have the British forgotten their own rules and regulations?
It seems that the British have kept the rules made by their own Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) on hold. It is not right to create so much ruckus about being given out according to the rules. Especially the way the MCC members behaved in the long room was unbecoming. If Australia did not show sportsmanship then what they did
