Drama after getting out – Stokes, Kohli, Smith and others

[ankitj]

This thread is to pay tribute to batsmen who do drama on the pitch after getting out rather than gracefully ****ing off.

Samples:

 

[ankitj]

Someone has shocked Kohli clip after getting bowled out to Moeen Ali? Think it happened half a dozen times.

 

[Gnske]

Smith almost causing nuclear conflict by looking up to the dressing room whether to review in the India 2017 series

Stokes' patented double under-arm "why me" shrug is what he will be known for most when he's done

well that and vicious physical assaulting of minorities

Chris Broad -Stuart's father- was once so incensed with an lbw decision given against him he refused to go. Gooch at the other end had to tell him he had no choice but to go.

You could make a thread of these for Steve Smith alone.

They didn't become great players by being okay with getting out.

It's similar with pro golfers. They will always blame weather/greens/spectators etc for an ordinary round.

This feels more genuine shock to me than drama.

You know the folk he had the fight with were straight white males right?

Exactly. The most underprivileged of all demographics. They were probably from the widely oppressed "middle class" as well.

You exactly the type to have believed that story

You are a buffoon

 

[TheJediBrah]

You are a buffoon

Yes but at least I don't assault minorities




That you know of

 

[Line and Length]

You exactly the type to have believed that story

Believe what you want to believe but the court transcripts reveal that the 'victims' were homophobic creeps who were abusing a couple of gay guys. But you know that, and you just want to keep attacking Stokes - along with Burgey.

In the 1981 Melbourne Test, when Gavaskar was given out lbw, he took Chauhan off with him; luckily the tour manager met them at the gate and sent Chauhan back out again. (India eventually won by bowling Australia out for 83). Gavaskar said afterwards he was unhappy with the decision but took Chauhan with him because of the abuse he was getting from the fielders.

There were a couple of odd ones in the 1980 Jubilee Test in Mumbai: Bob Taylor was given out caught behind in the first innings after a half-hearted appeal from Kapil, he hesitated, and Viswanath (fielding at slip) withdrew the appeal. Then in the second innings Boycott was given out when (according to Christopher Martin-Jenkins's book "Cricket Contest") no-one had appealed; the umpire then reversed his decision (or, according to the Wisden book of Test Cricket, "Boycott ignored the umpire").
