Captain Ben Stokes has responded to an Australian newspaper that branded his England side "crybabies" following the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow in the second Ashes Test at Lord's.
Bairstow was stumped by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey having ducked a short ball and marked his guard before walking down the pitch to greet Stokes at the other end. The England star presumed that the ball was dead, but Carey had gathered the ball and under-armed it towards the stumps.
Bairstow was in his crease when Carey threw the ball, but a long way down the pitch when it hit the stumps and he was given out stumped by the umpires. England were furious that Australia did not withdraw their appeal, with the Lord's crowd erupting into boos before chanting: "Same old Aussies, always cheating."
