‘People will think…’, Boycott demands ‘Public Apology’ from AUS

The controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow has drawn strong reactions from legends of the game. On the final day of the second Ashes Test saw Bairstow getting stumped when he strolled down towards his partner after dodging a Cameron Green bouncer.

Bairstow marked his guard after ducking and started walking towards the non-striker’s end, assuming that ball was dead. Aussie stumper Alex Carey spotted the error and capitalised on it with an under arm throw for a direct hit, eventually sparking a big controversy.

Condemning the incident, former England cricketer Sir Geoffrey Boycott has demanded a public apology from the AUS team.

In his column for the Daily Telegraph, Boycott wrote – “Australia need to have think about what they did and make a fulsome public apology. That way it will redress the situation and everyone can then move on. These teams have played brilliant cricket in great spirit and it is a shame when something like that happens to spoil it all.”

Boycott further said –

“Australia have now had time to think about what happened. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment. People will think better of the Australians if they put their hands up and say ‘we got it wrong’. That is the way to go. Let’s see over the next few days if they are man enough to do that.”
