E\ufeffngland star Joe Root<\/a> has delivered a stinging truth bomb to teammate Jonny Bairstow<\/a> on the anniversary of his controversial Ashes<\/a> dismissal last year.<\/p>\n

In a moment that ignited the Test series, Bairstow was given out stumped after leaving his crease, allowing Australian wicket-keeper Alex Carey<\/a> to throw the stumps down.<\/p>\n

The incident divided the cricket world, with some claiming it was poor sportsmanship from Carey, while others were of the belief it was smart work from the Aussies.<\/p>\n

And now, in a surprising twist, Root spoke about the dismissal during a new documentary series \ufefftitled The Ashes 2023: Our Take<\/em>, which goes behind the scenes with the England camp during the blockbuster five-game series.<\/p>\n

"Initially I was quite angry, but I think when you're involved in the game it's very difficult to put yourself in the other position," the former captain said.<\/p>\n

\"Jonny<\/p>\n

"I'd like to say I would have dealt with it differently, but I could very easily have done the same thing. At the end of the day it's within the laws of the game.<\/p>\n

"You should be aware as a player. Jonny will hate me saying this, but if you stay in your crease, you can't get given out can you?"<\/p>\n

Bairstow's dismissal at Lord's led to ugly scenes in the crowd, with \ufeffone member given a life ban and two others suspended for abusing the Aussie players<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old, who was this week axed from the Test squad to face the West Indies<\/a>, gave a diplomatic response when asked about the incident in the docuseries.<\/p>\n

"Who knows whether it was right or wrong, or anything in between," Bairstow said.<\/p>\n

"We're out there representing ourselves, and as long as you can go home and be all right with yourself then so be it."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Stuart Broad<\/a> was another player in the midst of the chaos, giving a gobful to a number of Australian players, but admitted there was some 'performative' elements at play.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ufeff"It was genuine anger and red mist for about ten minutes," he said.<\/p>\n

"I can't really remember what I was saying, I had lost the plot. I kept up this sort of pantomime performance for about three hours. I carried on doing my petulant nonsense.<\/p>\n

"This ignited the series. This is what we wanted – the fans are properly with us here."<\/p>\n

The series would ultimately end in a 2-2 draw, allowing the Aussies to retain the urn. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
