If you follow cricket you would know Bairstow was standing up to the stumps, stumping from there is legitimate. Carey was way back, and when the ball was dead threw the stumps down big difference.
As for cheating you are right, english players cheat too. When i played cricket at school, circa 1969 70 odd, and i nicked a ball, would i have walked...of course. Football, or soccer to you, has been infected by the european cheats, faking fouls, injury, time wasting etc, about the same time football was played chivalrously, and fairly, players would admit to misdemeaners.
Now its win at all costs. And it is a fake win because you have cheated.
And heres the kicker, the aussies are as bad, In 2019 Smith the Australian CAPTAIN took sandpaper onto the pitch to doctor the ball, so it swung. All hell broke loose over that.
The Aussies might as well be french, thats a big insult. If you have to cheat to win, theres no point. My generation have gone the Colin Cowdreys of this world went a long time ago, its a different world, for the worse. That aside do you follow cricket?, and you are american, on one of the cricket programmes its booming over there, especially in chicago.
