5th test the oval

The Comms is talking utter shite there. If Bairstow hadn’t touched the stump then the ball would still have arrived at the same time and Smith would have been very narrowly home before Bairstow broke the stumps with the ball in his gloves…..

Depends. The bail moving is what matters, it means he had to knock further into the stumps before the bail is completely removed. Depends how many micro seconds it took for the bail to be impacted on middle stump rather than the 1st stump, in relation to where Smiths bat was. Either way it was a tight decision
 
BTW. I wasn’t sticking up for Bairstow on that. He made the mistake and it was poor.
What I am saying is that if he had just collected the ball without the stump touch, Smith would have been home.

That is so unlucky. Remember at full speed it was a great take and stumping

yes when it’s rewound to micro frame speed it looks a clanger but that was pure luck for smith to survive

It wasn't pure luck tbf. Its Bairstow not getting his position quite right with his gloves. May have still been not out either way, but it's not luck just unfortunate error

It’s a very slight error imo

its being made to look worse in the slo mo. At match pace it was a blink of an eye

It’s looking worse because of the slo mo

that’s all and smith was nearly off the pitch so he thought he was gone, imo he had a real slice of luck there

Just watched the run out again. Yes Bairstow hits the wicket before he has the ball under control but the bail isn’t dislodged. If that had been a bowled ball and the ball had popped up and settled back it would have been not out. So, surely it’s only out when the bails are off ie when Bairstow has the ball in his gloves. In other words he should be given out.

He thought he was gone in real time from a distant cam. As soon as a second angle appeared on screen he stopped as he saw bairstows hand nudge past the stump lifting the bail, meaning he has to remove the full thing. It's unfortunate but it's still an error of wicket keeping, that as with anything looks worse in full speed. Most batsmen would have given up tbf and be ran out anyway
