No because everyone on the field other than Carey thought the ball was dead.

Lol that has nothing to do with Stokes.

Whatever it takes!!!
Yeah, that is usually an attempt to take a run and therefore, far more likely to be a real run-out, no?

TBF this is a stumping, not a run out.

As a former umpire, I am more than happy to explain the situation.
The initial parts of the Dead Ball law (Law 20) explain it:
20.1 BALL IS DEAD
20.1.1 The ball becomes dead when;
20.1.1.1 it is finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper or of the bowler.
20.1.2 The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.
20.2 BALL FINALLY SETTLED
Whether the ball is finally settled or not is a matter for the umpire alone to decide.
The ball wasn't finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper (Alex Carey), therefore the ball was still "Live" & in play. Good thinking by Alex Carey and also I've seen a few comments on Twitter that what Carey did was against the spirit of game. I'm telling you now, it certainly was not against the spirit of the game.

This is a very stupid post. Disappointed in you

they’ll need a new job anyway once they are all rightfully sacked for losing the series

Stokes honestly seemed reckless in that Green over. Wild swinging and a good bit of luck. If he is going to try to slog every ball, England definitely won't win.

And whilst I am at it - Umpire Erasmus has had a good game and those two tricky decisions...he has nailed 100%....as per the Laws of Cricket.

Judging by behaviour in the Long Room at lunch, “fun” is possibly not the word.

Correct.

Some very well educated posters have more than once pointed out Stokes shouldn't even be playing.
Will be interesting catching up on their reasons, even more so if he was to miraculously get England across the line.
