This is merely worth a status message on Facebook or Twitter- sad truth is despite all the sanctimonious bluster of Sunil Gavaskar, looks like India ought not to have run out Ian Bell and claimed his wicket. The world might be an evil place, everyone jealous of India's supreme prowess, but this is not the way a champion team plays. Not sneak some underhand thing when you are all but beaten.
I've never liked sunil's sermons, and my dislike grows with age- his patriotism sounds more inane and senseless by the day.
Seems there's nothing new with cricket. Everything is justifiable. Sorry it is not Australia this time, it is India and where we would feel happy, railing against Australia, here we are, having to defend what is obviously wrong and misguided.
A victory of this kind is more bitter than any defeat.
Hope India lose massively from here.
It definitely wasn't sporting from India. They should have reversed their appeal on the field itself while it was reviewed by Billy. Raina was right in appealing as Bell was wrong in leaving the crease before the ball is dead. In a way it made sure he realises his mistake.
ReplyDeleteDhoni may have done the right thing at the end, but he would have gained more appreciation had he reversed on the field itself.
Completely disagree with brand of whatever it is the author is propagating through this post. He should keep personal dislike against an individual when making a general statement upon those with views differing from his.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the dignified response. I am sorry if I hurt your sentiments- it was unintentional.
