At this point, Australia looking clear favorite to win the ongoing Ashes 2023. After all, they are leading the series 2-0 and England now needs a miracle to win the series now on. The third game of the series will start on July 6. From last weekend up until now, media personalities, cricketers, and Prime Ministers from both countries have gotten involved after Jonny Bairstow’s infamous dismissal.
England PM echoed his national Test side’s skipper Ben Stokes and head coach Brendon McCullum. The PM said that even he wouldn’t want to win a game of cricket by stumping out a batter like that.
“The prime minister agrees with Ben Stokes. He said he simply wouldn’t want to win a game in the manner Australia did,” UK PM spokesperson said in a statement.
In reply, Australian PM Anthony Albanese gave a heartburning reply. He said that he understand Sunak’s disappointment but also quipped that the former England finance minister didn’t get the same lessons in primary school.
“Prime Minister Sunak’s disappointment is understandable,” he told The Sydney Morning Herald.
“But he must not have had the same lessons I got in primary school at St Joseph’s Camperdown: ‘Stay in your crease’.
“Hope you’re well, PM.”
On the other hand, renowned journalist Piers Morgan blasted on the Aussie cricketers for having confrontations with booing MCC members.
“Wow.. Aussies getting into angry confrontations with booing MCC members as they return to the pavilion. Never seen that.. but then I’ve seen an Australia side show so little regard for ‘spirit of the game’ in an Ashes Test..”
These things have invited a design from Australian media as they painted Sunak, Stokes, Morgan as cry babies.
This is how Twitter reacted
