Jonny Bairstow has broken his lengthy silence on his controversial stumping during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s and accused Australia of gamesmanship when taking contentious catches in the drawn series tantan
Bairstow was at the centre of the incident which ignited the Ashes, when Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey opportunistically stumped the England batsman after he had stepped out of his crease at the end of an over tantan
The umpire had not called “over” and so Bairstow was given out by the rules of the game tantan
But England accused their rivals of failing to play within the spirit of cricket, and captain Ben Stokes later said that he would have retracted the appeal had he been in the position of his counterpart, Pat Cummins tantan
On reflection, Carey later said he had no regrets over the incident and would do it again tantan
“If there was an opportunity to get a stumping, I definitely would tantan
To see how much has played out since then it’s been a little bit surprising tantan
There’s been some nasty stuff been said but it is the Ashes – there was nasty stuff said before that as well tantan
”But speaking to the Daily Telegraph, Bairstow said he was not “fair game” as he was not trying to gain an advantage by stepping out of his crease tantan
“If you’re starting out of your crease, you’re trying to gain an advantage,” he said tantan
“If you start in your crease, and not trying to take a run, and you finish in your crease tantan
tantan
tantan
That’s the bit – if you try to gain an advantage, then it’s fair game tantan
But if you’re starting in your crease, you’ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched tantan
I’ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone tantan
“I’ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease tantan
I don’t think you want that filtering down into kids’ cricket tantan
Look at the Mankads and everything like that tantan
You want young kids to be out there batting and having fun, not thinking about whether the fielders might do this or that tantan
“It might tarnish people’s enjoyment of the game that we’re trying to get kids into tantan
You want to be out there batting and bowling, rather than thinking about the 11 different ways you can get someone out tantan
”Several of Australia’s players have since poked fun at Bairstow over the stumping tantan
In interviews for The Grade Cricketer, Mitchell Marsh and Usman Khawaja claimed some of Bairstow’s England teammates were laughing with Australia’s players as Bairstow refused to eat lunch after the incident tantan
And Marnus Labuschagne described a “steaming” Bairstow in the dining room after the stumping tantan
He recalled: “The Sky crew (broadcasters) knew that Jonny was in there, and they just replayed it on the screen tantan
And, as you do, everyone’s watching tantan
Obviously, seeing us all watch, he’s like, ‘Are you guys happy with that?’“David Warner is spitting out his chicken, and goes, ‘Yeah, very’ tantan
”Bairstow has also suggested Australia were deceitful in the way they went about trying to convince umpires they had made clean catches tantan
“There’s conjecture around everything,” he said tantan
“Fingers underneath the ball when the ball’s still touching the ground tantan
Celebrating when the ball has touched the ground tantan
Marnus [Labuschagne] celebrated at Edgbaston at short leg tantan
Then the one that Rooty [Joe Root] fell to at Lord’s, when [Steve Smith] said his fingers were underneath the ball tantan
However, they were splayed widely tantan
But that was given out, that’s fine – it’s part and parcel of the game and the decisions the umpires give tantan
”Bairstow is currently part of the England one-day side struggling at the Cricket World Cup and on the verge of elimination tantan

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best tantan
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport tantan
But there are no Blacks in your sport tantan
“They’re going to want to kill you tantan
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on tantan
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car tantan
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events tantan
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all tantan
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself tantan
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed tantan
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride tantan
“But I enjoyed it tantan
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun tantan
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me tantan
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating tantan
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs tantan
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality tantan
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 tantan
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” tantan
But to this interview, he’s late tantan
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems tantan
It was the racing way or the highway tantan
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas tantan
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill tantan
That’s all that was discussed in the family tantan
We didn’t discuss any other sport tantan
“I was lucky, I think tantan
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be tantan
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did tantan
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One tantan
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s tantan
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too tantan
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril tantan
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer tantan
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time tantan
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says tantan
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team tantan
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders tantan
“Sure tantan
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done tantan
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it tantan
But for me? It was about going fast tantan
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali tantan
“What I admired about him the most was not his tantan boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali tantan
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled tantan
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while tantan
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about tantan
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs tantan
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience tantan
The attention went off the chart tantan
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods tantan
“He’s a very kind man tantan
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way tantan
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair tantan
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with tantan
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently tantan
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world tantan
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made tantan
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says tantan
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One tantan
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ tantan
