ENGLAND cricket fans were left raging after Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped out by Australian wicket keeper Alex Carey during the final day of the Second Ashes Test.
Bairstow, 33, ducked under a bouncer as the ball made its way through to Aussie keeper Carey.

The England batsman marked his crease and then wandered down the wicket, before Carey threw the ball at the stumps.
Bairstow was not given out on the field, but after the run out was checked he was sent packing as England were reduced to 193-6 in pursuit of 371.
And the Lord’s crowd were furious with the questionable way Australia got Bairstow out as they labelled Pat Cummins’ side cheaters.
Journalist Ollie Holt tweeted: “Cries of ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’ ring around Lord’s after Bairstow dismissed in most controversial of circumstances.
“Surprised a team as good as Australia needs to resort to that.”
There were also loud chants of “Same old Aussies, always cheating”.
But others slammed Bairstow for his naive walk down the wicket.
One said: “That is just the best thing I’ve ever seen. What on earth was Bairstow thinking?!”

While another added: “Idiotic from Bairstow, but so unsportsmanlike from the Aussies. Poor all round.”
