You see it with accused in the dock at the Old Bailey all the time. Once a convict, always a convict. 🤪

It's a fair point. It was a lot to do with the balance of the game at the time wasn't it.

I wonder ........

Banned wasn't it? Or certainly not played.

Yes and we should have given Ireland back to the Irish too. 🤪

It's just the way I was brought up SB. To be honest. I remember playing Sunday league and I was chasing a player down, who broke free and was trying to stop him having a shot from the edge of the box. No-one else was up with play He hit it and it appeared to go through the side netting and...

I saw a documentary about that. The Bodyline tour.

Have to add, I am always for fair play. Whichever team, theirs or ours. I don't even like the City shithousing to win a game. I guess I am just old school like that.

When was this? I can't remember it.

No, I agree. Cricket does set itself apart from other elite sports at times though and this spirit is still there to be found at times. Last year I believe it was a wicket keeper who bumped into a runner and the runner tumbled over and was out of his crease. The keeper could have ran him out...

Just commented about the same thing on another thread. There are some very talented players amongst this group. Today was their worst performance so far in the competition.

Watched every game so far. They are a talented bunch. Today was by far and away their worst performance of the tournament.

That's it then Best shot, but it's now lost.

You know what I mean. 🤪 In the crowd watching on the other stage It was a big shame actually, because they stopped the performance and the performers then didn't come back on after calm was restored. They just curtailed the performance.
