ASHES England V Australia

tight don' bash me as I'm not the greatest to understand Cricket but this run out that the Australian wicket keep did I don't understand all the fuss as in the innings before the England Wicket Keeper did exactly the same threw the ball at the stumps but missed

SO if its ok for the England team to do it why is it not for the Australians to do it too

Please give me serious answers no abuse this is just a question

It was the last ball of the over. The batsman was walking out of his crease to talk to his teammate. The Aussie stumped him. It’s within the rules of the game but it’s poor etiquette.

@TheGreatestEver123 The other umpire had given the bowler his cap, which suggests the other umpire and bowler had thought the over had ended too.

Australia had worked hard to restore their credibility in the game after the sandpaper disaster. They now have to start all over again. A shame as they are extremely good players.
