The fact Carey hit the stumps from 15m back makes little or no difference, you don't have to stand at the stumps to make a stumping.
The Poms should be careful of what they ask for!
PS; Apparently Bairstow tried the very same thing earlier in the test, of course he did it's a stumping!
Our 2nd Innings, Australia 79-1, Bairstow tries to stump Labuschagne off Anderson's bowling.
