    "editor1": "<p><strong>London, September 7<\/strong> - &nbsp;New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum believes his Australian counterpart Steve Smith showed immaturity by not withdrawing his appeal against England batsman Ben Stokes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Stokes left his crease after driving a ball back to bowler Mitchell Starc, who collected it in his follow through and threw at the striker&#39;s end in an attempt to run him out in the second One-Day International (ODI) at Lord&#39;s on Saturday. However, Stokes stopped the ball with his hand as he turned and dived to regain his ground.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Smith chose not to withdraw Starc&#39;s appeal and, after on-field umpires Kumar Dharmesena and Tim Robinson referred the decision, television umpire Joel Wilson recommended that Stokes be given out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;By not withdrawing the appeal, Smith showed his immaturity. He may live to regret it. It&#39;s probably too early in his captaincy career to appreciate this but one day he&#39;ll look back at the Ben Stokes dismissal at Lord&#39;s on Saturday and realise he missed a great opportunity to strike a blow for the spirit of cricket,&quot; McCullum was quoted as saying by Daily Mail on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I say that from experience, not because I want to have a pop at Smith. There was a Test match where I ran out Muttiah Muralitharan while he was celebrating his partner Kumar Sangakkara&#39;s hundred. I&#39;d have done that differently now.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 33-year-old said if former skipper Michael Clarke would have been in Smith&#39;s position, he would have withdrawn the appeal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;But I do wonder how Michael Clarke would have handled the situation had he still been in charge. I&#39;m pretty sure he&#39;d have withdrawn the appeal. I&#39;m also pretty sure that Eoin Morgan would have done so, too,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>(IANS)<\/p>\r\n",
