Taddy, I don’t know why you think Cashie has never played sport and that you have arrived at this conclusion because of his posts on this thread. I don’t get that impression at all. I would never presume to know more about a person than I actually do so for all I know Cashie might have excelled at sports and got medals to prove it, might know rulebooks inside out, but that has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.

It is good to know that you played sport and got enjoyment from it, didn’t most of us play sport at one time or another – I know I did. Of course we were all taught the rules otherwise how would we have known how to play the game. However we were also taught how to play the game fairly. In the case in point the batsman made an honest mistake, the wicket-keeper took advantage of this. Rule or no rule it was not in the name of good sportsmanship and that was the point I was making.
