God help me - the Test Cricket thread

Of course, Bairstow’s attempt to stump Lambuschagne completely undermines the Pommy outrage.

Not necessarily.  That would depend on whether Marnus was batting out of his crease or batting in his crease, as Bairstow was, before taking a foolish wander down the pitch.  I don't know the answer but I think the two scenarios would be entirely different.

Whatever the situation, Aussie batters should be careful not to carelessly 'handle the ball' or take some other ill-advised action during the rest of the series.
