It was an incident that noticed tensions between the 2 nations explode as England brashly referred to as out Australia for disrespecting the spirit of cricket.
But as time went previous the incident seeped into the again of our minds, or so we thought.
After Bairstow silenced his critics with a cultured innings of 99 not out through the fourth Test at Old Trafford, he stoked the hearth.
Not solely did he convey the topic again to life, he took intention at Australia with a stinging barb for the way they’re conducting themselves for future generations.
“It wasn’t the way I wanted to be out down at Lord’s,” Bairstow informed Sky Sports.
“That is part and parcel now of the game. We have seen it in other occasions.
“I have even heard about it (happening) now in club cricket. That’s not necessarily what you want to be hearing.
“The example for me is when you are looking at young kids coming up. You want to be playing the game and play it how I have always played it, you play it tough, you play it fair.
“And on a different day it doesn’t happen.”
Bairstow hit again at his pundits and the media after placing to mattress conversations about his lacklustre kind with each the gloves and bat.
“There’s obviously been some chitter chatter and opinions, that have been rather interesting at times,” Bairstow informed reporters.
“Especially when there’s not been many conversations around how my ankle is.
“Whether they’re fair or not, it’s up to you guys to decide, because you guys are writing the different bits.
“To have the injury that I had and back playing international sport within nine months is something I’m incredibly proud of.
“Keeping after three years’ not keeping, it’s one of those things that takes a bit of time, irrelevant of the ankle.
“That’s part and parcel of it. It would be like you guys taking a three-year sabbatical and then coming back and writing to the same level which you do, day-in day-out.”
