Following the contentious conclusion of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, there is an ongoing conflict between the Australian and British media. Following criticism from UK newspapers on Monday regarding the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow, Australian media retaliated by branding Ben Stokes and his team as “crybabies.” Stokes joked in his response, claiming that he wasn’t in the photograph published by an Australian newspaper.
Stokes acknowledged that the incident was within the bounds of the game but had previously stated that he wouldn’t want to win a game in such a way. Pat Cummins, the captain of Australia, defended wicketkeeper Alex Carey’s actions by mentioning that Jonny Bairstow had previously committed similar offenses.

Time is running out for England to demonstrate that their ‘Bazball’ strategy is the best one given that they are down 0-2 in the series against Australia.
To put it plainly: There is a dispute in the Australian and British media regarding the most recent Ashes Test match. The Australian team was criticized by UK newspapers, and the Australian media referred to the British team as whiny. In response to a photo from an Australian newspaper, Ben Stokes made a humorous remark. Although it was permitted by the rules, Stokes had stated that he wouldn’t want to win a game that way. The Australian captain defended the actions of one of his teammates, and England needs to win more games to establish their superiority.
