I’m not sure Starc would agree about the catch. Personally I thought it was OK, until that is, the rule was read out and the 3rd umpire explained his decision.
The Bairstow incident, I can’t agree with you on. Any normal batter would make sure the keeper has moved the ball on. Ordinarily they throw to a slip. Bairstow was arrogant enough to not even look. Next you’ll be saying that batters can’t be stumped. The only reason some are miffed is because it doesn’t happen. Doesn’t make it wrong.
I can’t buy in to this ‘spirit of the game’ nonsense either. No rules were broken. Just like watching bouncer after bouncer after bouncer.
I was talking Sheff United v Arsenal as I remember not Notts County 🤷🏻
Starc grounded the ball end of
I certainly won’t be saying that batsman can’t be stumped( don’t 2nd guess what I will say next please &#128540 the ball was dead we didn’t intend and didn’t gain anything for Bairstow walking out his crease a good number of seconds even a minute after Carey caught it
As you say we will have to agree to disagree
