Re: The Sport, or otherwise, of Cricket
Why do you keep on quoting Milton Sutherland Taddy…he is long gone.
And he knew what sportsmanship was. I believe that he would have been more sportsmanlike’ and he would have accepted that this was a ‘dead ball’ situation.
Yes the rules were adhered to, but as Dorothy said it is not the gentleman’s game that it once was.
I don’t care about the outcome of the Ashes, but I do believe it is no longer about the sport and more about the money.
I also believe that had it been an Aussie batsman and an English wicket keeper, the outcome would have been different.
