Steve Smith: “The umpires are there to make a decision. The fourth umpire saw it the same way we did.” - Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) "Stokes was out of his crease, he put his hand up & was in the way of the stumps - he was out" - Steve Smith - Test Match Special (@bbctms) Mutiny at Lord's. England team refusing to come out for presentations after Stokes debacle.- Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) It was 'in the rules' for Trevor Chappell to bowl underarm, Mr Smith. You made a big mistake, man up. - Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) We didn't like to see what happened at Lords, here's a closer look at the law ! Feel for Stokes.... - Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) Mohinder Amarnath is the only ODI batsman to be dismissed both "handled the ball" in 1986 and "obstructing the field" in 1989 - Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) Harsh to say Smith should've called Stokes back. Players don't have rulebooks out there. Entiled to assume umps will make fair call - Brydon Coverdale (@brydoncoverdale) Eng Comm Team, You 'wilfully' put your hand out. You can't 'accidentally' try & stop a ball. It must be out. Regards, The Rules - Andy Lee (@andy_lee) If something is within the Laws of the Game...it can't (should not) be against the Spirit of the Game. Simple.- Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) All the kids in the clubs will be doing the Ben Stokes tonight. - Phil Makepeace (@AlteredCourse) The correct decision was made by the umps re Stokes even though I didn't like it, cricket would've been the winner if Smith called him back- Shane Warne (@ShaneWarne) It may well have been the right decision but it looked like an instinctive reaction by Stokes to me. Seems a bit rum to me.Oh well - all fun- Elizabeth Ammon (@legsidelizzy) How could Stokes have done that purposefully? He wasn't even facing the ball! Ludicrous that 'accidental obstruction' wins - Denise Evans (@DeniseEvansMEN) On a flight at moment and haven't seen Stokes dismissal, just read some tweets about it. Thoughts?- Adam Gilchrist (@gilly381) Ben Stokes only 6th player - and 1st from outside subcontinent - to be given out obstructing field in ODIs. - Jesse Hogan (@Jesse_Hogan) Don't think that the throw was aimed at Stokes...and laws of the game aren't supposed to take the intent into account! - Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) Ben Stokes 6th ODI batsman to be dismissed "obstructing the field" The list also includes 4 Pakistanis and one Indian - Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) The Stokes decision an example of why the 3rd umpire needs to be an umpire not just someone watching replays as has sometimes been suggested- Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) The (English) commentary is unanimously saying Stokes was acting in self-preservation. That's just not true. The ball wasn't aimed at him.- Geoff Lemon Sport (@GeoffLemonSport) Turning nasty at Lord's. Never heard booing so loud or sustained . - Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) Think what went against Stokes was that he moved his hand to bring it in line. Umpire had to decide if deliberate or in defence. Tough call- Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) In 138 years history of international cricket in England there have been only 2 Obstructing the Field: Len Hutton in 1951 & Ben Stokes 2015- Mazher Arshad (@cricket_U) Ben Stokes has become the first ever non-Asian to be out via obstructing the field in ODI history. - Cricket Record (@cricinfo_record) Something poetic about the laws being enforced - correctly - at the home of said laws, and the fury of the crowd within. - Izzy Westbury (@izzywestbury) The more you look at the Stokes dismissal, the more out it looks. No way of knowing intent, you have to judge the action, the movement.- Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) In real time would Stokes really have had time to think about deflecting ball from the stumps?
