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...

I would hope not, but you might be right.

Isn't the difference he was trying to ground his bat to show he was still in and Bairstow believed the play was over, because it had gone straight through to the keeper and was not trying to gain any advantage. I get your point, but seems to me that the play here was still on and Grandhome...

Last year's winner was a wicket keeper who refused to run out a player.

Crap? They literally have a Spirit of Cricket awards. 😂😂😂😂 Winner of the 2021 ICC Spirit of Cricket Award revealed ICC Awards New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell has been named the recipient of the ICC Spirit of Cricket Award after his gesture in the 2021 ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final...

Technically he was out, but it's not the done thing usually is it and it's not in the spirit of the game. Not in cricket. Many Aussie commentators saying that Cummings should have withdrawn the appeal. As Jonathan Agnew said on the BBC website, the Aussies should have at least warned Bairstow...

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.

I love the conflicting styles Bring it on.

I live Bazball too. 😍

There was a fight at the other stage just before Selector came on, on the main stage. We were waiting for pizza and there was a fight in the crowd watching there and they had to stop the performance.

I love T20. 😍

I hope so, but logic says not. Only needs one mistake from Stokes, or one absolute peach delivery and it will be all over I reckon we will lose by about 22 runs. 😢 Close but no cigar.

Definitely not a catch that. He drags the ball on the floor, therefore using the ground as an aid in controlling the ball. Clear cut to me.

Sounds very like VAR me thinks

Yup, we have to be sensible. Let other clubs go OTT with their purchases and blow their budgets, It may well come back to bite them on the butt somewhere down the line.

I do actually recall when I used to work with bloke called Richard, who was a bit of an arse. One time when we were out and he fell asleep drunk, we put lots of little dots on his face with a felt tipped pen, so when he woke up he would be spotted Dick.
