Ben Stokes weighed in on the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow in the second Ashes Test. He said that he would have considered withdrawing the appeal had he been in the same position as Pat Cummins.
When Stokes was asked for his opinion on the situation, he responded, "There's lots of factors. I asked the umpires whether they had called over - they made a move towards the end of the over. But at the end of the day, it's out. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would have had a think about the whole spirit of the game. But it has happened. It was out. We have to move on."
Stokes' statement is a reminder of the importance of sportsmanship in the game, and the need to respect the decisions of the umpires. It's clear that the England team is determined to not let the controversy of this dismissal detract from their mission to reclaim the Ashes.
