Excellent appraisal Mantis.
Just on the Bairstow dismissal, I remember Dean Jones getting run out in a Test in the West Indies. He was cleaned bowled and started to walk off before realising that the umpire had called a no-ball. A Windies fielder picked up the ball and pulled out a stump before Jones could get back to his crease. At the time I thought it was pretty crook but it was according to the rules and epitomised the ruthless cricket that made the Windies a real cricket power.
Of course, Bairstow’s attempt to stump Lambuschagne completely undermines the Pommy outrage.
