Professional cricketers should not be just walking out of the crease like that.

Yup, Bairstow messed up and the blame should go solely to him. He’s been an international cricketer for a fair while, he really shouldn’t be doing things like that.
So many instances of these are popping up in the aftermath. Even an opportunistic Bairstow stumping.
Maybe he’ll reconsider having a beer with the Aussie boys after he’s reminded of this
Why? They seem very dull compared to the Aussie teams of the past
“ the famously laid-back McCullum admitted the flash point might impact relations between the teams as he said on the BBC's Test Match Special: 'I can't imagine we'll be having a beer any time soon.' “
I know, they're still the dullest Australia team in years though. No Bret Lee, Warne etc.
Honestly, I'd much rather hang out with guys like Khawaja, Cummins, Marnus, etc, than boofheads like Shane Warne & Co.
Yeah, can’t disagree with that. I heard someone refer to day 4 as a bounceathon, 98% of deliveries were classed as short balls. Doesn’t make for entertaining watching
That was a result of the pitch, as explained by the captains of both teams.
