The debate over Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal in the 2nd Ashes Test doesn't seem to end anytime soon.

Former England great Sir Geoffrey Boycott has now demanded a public apology from the Australian team over the incident.

In his column for the Daily Telegraph, he wrote that an apology will redress the situation and everyone can then move on.

'These teams have played brilliant cricket in great spirit and it is a shame when something like that happens to spoil it all. Australia have now had time to think about what happened. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment. People will think better of the Australians if they put their hands up and say ‘we got it wrong’. That is the way to go. Let’s see over the next few days if they are man enough to do that,' added Boycott.
