‘Deal with it’: Angry Brendon McCullum walks past security after being stopped at Headingley gate
McCullum ran out of patience and walked through the gates, saying: “You’ll just have to deal with it.”
England head coach Brendon McCullum found himself in an unwanted situation as reports emerged of him not being allowed entry to Headingley, Leeds. The incident took place on the opening day of the third Test.
As per a report in Times, McCullum was denied entry for not having a correct pass and the security guard too failed to recognise the coach. Despite being insisted by the person accompanying McCullum, the security guard kept the coach waiting.
The guard then connected to a superior to discuss the same via radio, but McCullum ran out of patience and walked through the gates, saying: “You’ll just have to deal with it.”

Meanwhile after three days of intense contest, Australia currently find themselves 142 runs ahead and have six wickets in hand in the second innings. Swashbuckling batter Travis Head along with all-rounder Mitchell Marsh took Australia to 116/4 at stumps on Day 3.
The pair showed good resistance and added 26 runs for the fifth wicket. They will now look to add more to the tally and help Australia set a stiff target for the hosts in seam friendly conditions.
The good news for England is both Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne are back in the pavilion.
If we look at the names who are yet to bat, Alex Carey will walk in next, followed by Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Todd Murphy, and Scott Boland.
