Good for them. They changed their tune when Lloyd asked them what they would think if it had happened to Tendulkar.
This is just patently untrue. He didn't start to run the 4th and it's laughable that anyone should try to suggest that he did. He touched his bat down then slowly jogged off towards Morgan to head off to tea together. If he'd been trying to run he'd have been, er, running, and shouting at Morgan to get a move on.
And he was out fairly and squarely, nothing underhand or tricked...nothing more that the "spirit of the game" can ask for I would've thought.
Love the exclamation marks
Sooooooooo true. You just know that opinions in this thread and on air would be totally reversed if it was Tendulkar in the 90s for example.
I would hope the people around me, in my team and so forth, would be putting the game above a good result for our team. Perhaps we're on different wave lengths here, but I play cricket to have fun first of all, and not to cause conflict between the two teams. For the same reason when I'm asked to umpire in our games, I don't start giving off dud decisions to help my team win. Sure a park game and a Test are just so far apart, but I like to think no matter the level people play because they love the game, not because they only love winning
His first few steps were running until he saw morgan and began to slow down.
And the other way too.....
That sort of thinking is what leads to under-arm bowling etc. Has no place in cricket either.
I don't know what you saw. He did start running and then walked after 3 or so steps. Pure laziness. Watch it again if you must.
Win at all costs. What a magnificent outlook.
I think he was just running to the pavilion.
Yeah AWTA completely.
