Jamie Carragher slams Sky Sports over "joke" Jonny Bairstow wicket before deleting tweet

Former England footballer Jamie Carragher made his feelings known on Jonny Bairstow's controversial Ashes dismissal in England's second Test defeat before later deleting his tweet.

Bairstow was given out after he left his crease at the end of an over and Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey hit the stumps. While it was out by the letter of the law, England captain Ben Stokes would later question whether it was truly in the spirit of the game.

Sky came under criticism for their coverage, with the broadcast team siding with Carey's team. Carragher would end up taking down the tweet, but doubled down on his thoughts regarding the dismissal itself.
