If you leave your crease before umpire calls "over" you're out.

Bairstow needs to work on his match awareness. I'm betting it wasn't a one off.

Also, Broad is a dick.

There's the laws of the game, and the spirit of the game.

I'm just sad that the spirit of the game has been eaten by the win at all costs attitude.

The fact we're even discussing this is embarrassing and saddens me, and I won't comment any more on it.

Sure, and I can see some ambiguity in whether or not the Bairstow stumping is within the spirit of the game.

But Mankadding? 100% fair play. It's literally the only available counterplay to a batsman sneaking an advantage by advancing early. To suggest it's not in the spirit of the game is to suggest that batsmen deserve to get free runs. I'd sooner say that advancing early is against the spirit of the game than I would say that of Mankadding.
