Rishi spins for England in 'cheating' Aussies row
Daily Express
|July 04, 2023
THE Prime Minister has backed the England cricket team in the row over Australia's controversial tactics
It comes after England batsman Jonny Bairstow was dismissed in the second Ashes Test at Lord's, helping the tourists to a 2-0 series lead.
He was stumped after walking away from his crease to speak to captain Ben Stokes, believing the over had ended.
The stumping was within the rules but Rishi Sunak criticised the move.
His spokesman said: "The Prime Minister agrees with Ben Stokes. He said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner Australia did."
Asked whether Mr Sunak thought Australia's actions were not in keeping with the spirit of cricket, the spokesman said: "Yes."
