They’re going to win the game regardless. Doing it in that way is snide and classless.

Same level as mankadding to me. In the laws, but come on.

It's not a mankad.
Carey threw the ball straight away and LBJ wandered.
No over was called at that point.
Total lack of class. Last ball of the over, clearly not trying to run. Withdraw your appeal and play on. Mark Taylor comparing it to the catch yesterday is just embarrassing - one is an umpire making a decision based on the laws. The other is a team trying to gain an advantage that is nothing whatsoever to do with the game. Thought better of Cummins, turns out he’s as bad as the rest. This series is going to kill test cricket

This. They’re going to win anyway, no need to appeal for a classless wicket. Have a word in his ear to warn him, then do it if he carries on.

But he certainly wasn't trying for a run, was he?

Yes and in the laws of the game out but it’s obvious Bairstow thinks it’s dead, not trying to gain an advantage just walking to Stokes

I do wonder how many players wander out like that though, most of the time once it goes through to the keeper it just gets lobbed around the fielders.
Just feels cheap, a la Mankad.

You would say that because it’s benefitted you. Getting wickets in that fashion when you’re going to win anyway just goes to show what types of guys you have in the Australia team, imo. Claiming bump ball catches all series and now this…class.

Of course it's not
The controversy will die down soon enough and at the end of the day, if anything, it adds to the spice.

Did England not do similar when Ollie Pope threw stump down last year?
You’re right it’s not a Mankad. Mankad at least has some justification as you can argue the batter is trying to gain an advantage. This doesn’t have that shred of dignity at all
