• Brendon McCullum clarifies statement after boos.
• McCullum stated that they will now share a drink with Australian team.
• He also mentioned that event would remain memorable in the series’ history.

England’s head coach Brendon McCullum has addressed his earlier statement following the stumping dismissal, which had led to a strong negative reaction from the Lord’s crowd.

After the Ashes Test series concluded in a 2-2 draw, McCullum stated that they will now share a drink with the Australian team.

In the second test at Lord’s, Alex Carey, the Australian wicketkeeper, got Jonny Bairstow out by using an underarm throw to hit the stumps when Bairstow had left his position at the end of an over.

The stumping dismissal resulted in a strong negative reaction from the crowd at Lord’s, with loud booing, and some MCC members in the pavilion directed verbal abuse towards the Australian players.

On Monday, he clarified that his statements were misunderstood.

He also mentioned that the event would remain memorable in the series’ history.

However, he emphasized that it wouldn’t negatively affect his relationship with the Australian team, especially their captain Pat Cummins.
