Sportmanship

Post by Stubby »

In the wake of Phil's condemnation at Gibraltar what does everyone think about Stuart Broad yesterday.

Seems to be a trend of if the official dont see it then I'm not going to own up??

I think this is an easy one for 2 reasons.

1) Over a long period of time it will even out. You'll be given out when you're not, and not out when you are. If you walk, you'll just be out!

2) Righteous indignation from the Aussies? The NEVER walk. In fact when Gilchrist walked in an Ashes game a few years ago it was commented on with astonishment because a walking Aussie is such a rarity!

nb. I used to walk but stopped in my latter cricketing 'career' after a string of shocking decisions against me!
