I&#8217;ve kept quiet. It&#8217;s on them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If that&#8217;s how they want to go about it and win a cricket game or what have you, then so be it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Veteran all-rounder Moeen Ali implied Australia missed the chance to exorcise any leftover demons from the 2018 Newlands ball-tampering saga, after which they were branded cheats.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My view was it was out, obviously,&#8217; Ali told the authors of Bazball.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I just thought it was a great opportunity for (captain) Pat Cummins to put to bed a lot of the things that have happened previously.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Not just put to bed, but take away that label they have had for a while with &#8216;Sandpapergate&#8217;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Bairstow said there was a difference between stumping a batter sneaking out of their crease for cynical purposes, and catching a batter unaware, as Australia did.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If you try to gain an advantage, then it&#8217;s fair game,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;But if you&#8217;re starting in your crease, you&#8217;ve ducked, tap, tap, scratched. I&#8217;ve even dragged my bat, looked up, and then gone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve never seen it happen from someone starting in their crease. I don&#8217;t think you want that filtering down into kids&#8217; cricket.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Bairstow also accused Australia of taking unfair catches in the field during the Ashes.<\/p>\n<p>He cast doubt as to whether the ball hit the ground before Steve Smith controlled it to dismiss Joe Root on day two at Lord&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/24\/11\/76930937-12665547-image-a-3_1698143416622.jpg\" height=\"379\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>But he claims the Australians took illegal catches throughout the five-match series<\/p>\n<p>Bairstow also questioned whether Marnus Labuschagne had caught Harry Brook cleanly in the second innings of the first Test at Edgbaston.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There&#8217;s conjecture around everything,&#8217; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Fingers underneath the ball when the ball&#8217;s still touching the ground.
