Very different and you know it.
In some ways it's worse than a mankad, in a mankad the non-striker is trying to gain an unfair advantage. Bairstow was doing no such thing.

It's not about whether Backstop waited 'an extra second or two'. Carey saw he was leaving his crease when the ball was live and legit ran him out. The ball is live until both teams treat it as if it's not. That's what the crease is for. If you're out of your crease when the ball is live, you can be run out. Stay in your crease. Batsmen with their wits about them always check it's safe to leave their crease. Backstop was dozy and complacent.
I used to wait until the keeper threw the ball to a team mate. And if he just walked forward with it, then I’d stay in my crease.
Broad is a complete and utter ahole.
Give him 6 in the guts per over Starc and remind him it’s for all the ones he threw down yesterday.
It's exactly the way to play, he wandered out of the crease while the ball was live, and stumped him. What's the difference between Carey stumping him while he's keeping at the stumps to a spinner when he walks out out of the crease, and this instance?
Smart by Carey, incredibly dumb by Bairstow. One of the first things you're taught as a young batsman is to stay in the crease until the ball is dead.
Pathetic crowd should be directing their ire at Bairstow, rather than calling the Aussies cheats.
Only ones who roll their arms over in 7th division park cricket and then think they are the font of all cricket wisdom
Dont agree if he had gone down the wicket to play the ball then fine but he was clearly only walking out on the wrong assumption the ball was finished.
Carey picked his pocket which is fine by the letter of the law but not great manners in my opinion
Cummins is a woeful captain. Who the *smile* invites Stokes to smack the ball over the fence every ball
They’ve always been a bunch of whining hypocrites. They like to play the class act when the fact of the matter is they’ll do anything and everything to win - like everyone else. Just that when they don’t win - which is often - they resort to bitching their guts out.
Fat Santa was out. Didn’t see Duckett walking yesterday when he was caught fair and square
OK, looks like the ump didn't call "over" and he left a bit too early. Just another one of those *smile* pedantics.
