Geoffrey Boycott calls for Australia to issue public apology over Jonny Bairstow wicket

Sir Geoffrey Boycott has never been shy of giving his opinion - and now he's challenged Australia to release a public statement over the already infamous Jonny Bairstow dismissal at Lord's.

Debate has raged from the moment Aussie keeper Alex Carey stumped one of England's key men as he ambled down the wicket to speak with Ben Stokes, seemingly thinking the ball was dead. But with the umpires having not called 'over', the dismissal technically fell within the laws of the game.

Not that the MCC members at the 'Home of Cricket' saw it that way. In extraordinary scenes, the Australian players were heckled as they walked through the long room at lunch, with both Usman Khawaja and David Warner becoming embroiled in verbal exchanges.
