Cricket Top 5 Rules vs Spirit Of The Game moments

[aruntutu]

Eventhough I am a hard-bred Indian, a die-hard fan of Sachin, the God of cricket, the Sachin run-out..... I think it was right! No way Akthar did that on purpose, he had no clue who was behind... Sachin was the only way who could see where he was going... Wanting to run in a straight line... Well... All in the past but no finger pointing required.

[rohanjaiswal03]

@fahimnik.... great upload mate... cheers

[SachinGautam100]

I thought that Ozz would be in everyone

[hiasad]

hahaha chotia daddy ki G mein balla le k ghus gaya ;)

[mcnesta80]

Typical....anyone see India appeal when Clarke's bat got in the way (clearly accidental)? Clarke apologised for taking runs. I reckon if you're gonna appeal, then the ball is not dead and he should've taken the runs.

[yaanni]

@mcnesta80

Hello !!! What context are you making these comments in?

[mcnesta80]

@yaanni In the context that the appeal was also for obstructing the field. It was turned down as Clarke was clearly stretching for his crease when the ball hit the bat....I mean wtf, appealling for that?? If I'd heard an appeal after stretching for my crease, I'd look for overthrows on instinct I reckon.

[yaanni]

@mcnesta80

Are you on drugs or what? This video has no footage of any Clarke anywhere. Get your eyes tested. And brain too.

[mcnesta80]

@yaanni See how my original comment was weeks ago, during the test, at the exact time the clarke incident happened. I like to surf cricket videos and watch cricket at the same time. It's tragic, I know. Anyway, that's the context.

[mcnesta80]

@mcnesta80 sorry, can't have been the exact time...must've been after his apology.

[Nizzleson]

NZ vs Australia's underarm incident? Legal, but totally unsporting.

[psykarp21]

u idiots saying shoaib did that deliberately, im sure that there was no way any1 couldve guessed that the fielder at the boundry would hit the stumps

[TullyNipp]

P.S. i just re-read the comment on 4th vid... my comment about the one day game meant to read as if it were a one day game then a keeper would expect the extra run... im well aware it was in a test match

[TullyNipp]

long comment read next 2 comments 1st then come back to finish here :P

5th vid: Out. it was sachins own fault. he was ball watching and not focusing on the run... it caused him to run most of the way near the middle of the pitch then veer into shoiab.

[TullyNipp]

4th vid: Out but not in spirit of the game. he didnt wait for the play to be completed before leaving. keeper just knows that he left his crease (he was watching the ball not the runner) and in a one day game its a fair for the keeper to assume theyre going for another run. After the initial appeal he shouldve been called back. the comment about NZ winning spirit o cricket award was dumb, why should actions in 2006 affect the result of an annual award in 2010.

[TullyNipp]

my opinion on these;

1st vid: Out. because he was in between the ball and stump and played a shot. if it had just hit him, or he was in his crease then not out.

2nd vid: Out. catches never look good on replay. kumble says its not in the spirit of the game but the spirit would have the batsmen accept the fielders claim to the catch.

3rd vid: bowler (and captain if it was an instruction) should be penalised, not for denying a 100 but they intentionally lost the game.

[vamanborker]

It should have the Ranatunga incident

[ashish52257]

shoaib was'nt collecting ball...he was lifting his ass jst for sachin's MRF branded bat.

[dubaithamizhan]

Randiv shows his ugly cricket as all srilankan shows the same, fuck man he knew sehwaq can make 100

[onlybold]

inzi wrong stopped ball

australian wrong, must b decided by 3rd umpire

Kiwi's were wrong

terrible no ball to VERU

First one is just shoaib running in to collect the ball

if through is coming from opposite side then he cannot

stand in front of wickets to collect ball. it's not fair at all.

It's compiled by a TV not a user of man to this blog. May be many indians agree and may be not every pakistani disagree that number one is run out of tendulkar. it's just PAKISTAN FOBIA on indian mind.

[jarrethcutestory]

Plus, go easy Sunil, it's just that McCullum is a prick.

[jarrethcutestory]

I don't get the Tendulkar one. If he'd been looking at where he was runnung instead of the ball he would have been fine? It's just because it's Pakistan right?

[Jourdydogyella]

what the hell is the controversy with the first one? inzy was just a lazy prick and he was against the rules clearly you cant just put your bat in the way of a fielding move. not against the spirit, it was a genuine appeal and dismissal to a retard who should know better.

[1212yuvi]

@Jourdydogyella Agreed. He probably would not have been out if he had put in a bit more energy and turned around and grounded his bat, but instead the fat ass looked for a less energy wasting way to avoid being run out.

[ssal1122]

@Jourdydogyella dickhead... he played the ball on the front foot.. and did not move infront of the wickets etc just to block the ball. he stood his ground and started going back once he realizes the ball was coming towards him. Whats he suppose to do... just fucking vanish into thin air??

[abyss13100]

MR. GAVASKAR what is wrong with the mccullum running him out, the ball wasnt dead. do not defend asian cricketers everytime

[jarrethcutestory]

Hmmm, i feel if sachin was more focussed on grounding his bat and not looking at the ball coming in he would have got home fine

[PapaCorms]

fucking indian team...

[intelligentdesigner]

Whoever put this clip together needs to grow a pair and get over it.

[9995163707]

@ ALL supportin Shoib akhtar...!

u had 2 b present to c de match live...U guys mayb still babies that time..!

i saw it live...it was a deliberate attempt!

Dat stupid thing cost india de amtch

[Malincanada]

@9995163707 Yes. Everyone must agree that seeing it in full speed from about 100yds away gives you a much clearer idea of precisely what has happened as opposed to being able to watch the incident from a variety of angles and also slowed down/zoomed in.

[nsundu123]

@9995163707 Yup ur Right It happened many times once Brendon Julien did the same thing to Sherwine Campbell too

[AndromediaShadowfax]

Idiot, we may be babies(I wasn't) but as you can see in the video(and the video shows the same thing as the being there live), when Shoaib was near the crease Sachin was only halfway down. He could have altered his course. And observe where he is running.(that is about three feet inside the pitch) You are not allowed to run there. And notice Shoaib. He isn't watching Sachin. And he shouldn't be. He should be watching the ball. And Sachin should be watching the pitch ahead of him.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

Also, it is quite an amazing fact that 4 out of 5 incidents here involve Indians.(I am an Indian by the way. so don't think I am racist.) And the Clarke-Ponting incident is normal. Sometimes fielders don't know whether they have grassed the ball when they are diving. You should know. 'The GOD of Cricket' himself claimed a grassed catch once. Sachin grassed a catch off Dravid in IPL. When Dravid refuse to walk off, Gavaskar criticized him for questioning Sachin's word.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

And when replays showed that Sachin had indeed grassed the catch, Gavaskar just didn't seem to have a voice at all. That is typical Sunil Gavaskar. He always defends his own kindred. In IPL and domestic, he always defends Mumbai players. And in world cricket, he always defends Indians. Gavaskar is the worst commentator(Shastri is not far behind). They always talk about double standards. They only see wrongs done to Indians. They themselves have double standards.Take India-England -11

[AndromediaShadowfax]

Praveen Kumar was fined by the referee for arguing with the umpire on the first day. Later when Eoin Morgan flicked one to fine leg and ran a single, the umpire signalled it leg-bye. Morgan just signalled the umpire it was off the bat. And went back to playing.

And on the second day, Graeme Swann was fined for kicking the stumps. And then when the Bell run out incident occured, Gavaskar mentioned Praveen being fined and Morgan not being fined, saying where was the spirit the.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

What Gavaskar perhaps didn't realize was that Morgan just told the umpire it was off the bat.(He didn't argue or anything). And Praveen was fined for arguing. He was pointing finger towards the umpire and had to be pulled off by his teammates. He deserved to be fined. Also Gavaskar just forgot that Swann was fined too for bad conduct by kicking the stumps.(He was venting frustration by kicking the turf. Lot of bowlers and fielders do that. It was just he was too close to the stumps.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

And then when Rahul Dravid scored a century at Lords, the crowd applauded. But there were some sections who didn't. Even then it was a decent applause.(Not as extraordinary as he would have got in India but still he got an applause.) And Gavaskar later after Bell runout incident, commented that Rahul scored a hundred and didn't get that big a applause. He said where was spirit then?(The idiot didn't get that spirit is to be upholded by players.)

[AndromediaShadowfax]

Anyway, Dravid got a decent applause(almost as good as Piterson who had scored 202 in the 1st innings). Sunil Gavaskar commented the crowd at Lord's wasn't that sporty.(Actually the English are one of the sportiest people. They take defeat in grace(except from Aussies). Sunil Gavaskar forgot at that moment, that he was present in Motera(Ahmedabad) during India-Australia QF in WC 2011, where Ricky Ponting scored a brilliant, fighting, gutsy high class hundred and actually got booed.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

I cannot recall another single instance where a batsman has scored a hundred and gets booed. And later during presentation ceremony, when Ravi Shastri asked Ponting to come up, the crowd again booed him(the entire crowd. the booing was deafening.) Shastri seemed to have forgot he was present there too.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

You decide for yourselves, which crowd is unsporty. English have always applauded Dravid's knocks(just because the applause wasn't as deafening as it would have been in India doen't mean it wasn't sporty.) On the other hand we foolish Indians jeered Ponting immediately after scoring a hundred.

[AndromediaShadowfax]

Jeered him again when he walked up to the podium for the last time in a world cup.We jeered a three time World Cup winning player(twice as captain), who played in the world cup with screws in his fingers, who had scored a high class hundred in the match. You know what sportiness would have been? Sportiness would have been if Dhoni had apologized to Ponting on his country's behalf. The same thing occured recently in Mumbai too. Darren Bravo got booed after scoring a century.

[ravi3659]

Fags the first rule is u cant be the the pitch if u collecting ball u have to stay out of the pitch

[Malincanada]

@ravi3659 Actually, Law 1 is mainly concerned with the number of players in a team and the nomination of those players and a captain.

I can't find the law you're referring to. It strikes me that under your law a good plan for a batsman would be to block the ball so that is stops dead in line with the middle stumps and then you can run all day as the fielders can't reach it.

[GyraDrone]

yea, the tendulkar run out should be giving out, shoaib was there to collect the ball..

[pradipjalore]

I am an Indian and want to tell it was not Shoaib Akhtar's mistake... he was there just to collect the ball.

If it was some other team than Pakistan.... this would not have been a controvery... that is sad mentality

[dubi186]

@pradipjalore thanks for the comment. shoaib´s incident is the same as insimam but in reveral. insimam was never going to be run out as he would have been in the crease by the time but according to laws was out. but spirit of the game was let down. in shoaib incident tendulkar was out by law but spirit of the game was let down. he would have completed the run easily. but good to see people seeing without biase and targeting people

[STIPHZER]

@pradipjalore agree

[vbkakkiboyman]

@pradipjalore u know mate , whatever u say india is the only country that riot or burn player's houses if they lose the game.. just a fun fact for u to thnk abt.. sweet dreams

[uttamfloray]

@pradipjalore Its not about whos mistake it was.. It was an unfortunate incidence and could have been adjudged not-out in the true "sprite of the game". Some would say Sachin should have had the awareness of running around Shoiab as he was caught ball watching. In any case this is a grey area. Getting good players out cheaply is not good sportsmanship.

[haszan]

Shoaib Akhtar did not come in the way of Sachin deliberately.. Its very obvious when you look at the replay's & his facial reactions. Plus if it was a played out cheating there was no way any Paki player knew that Nadeem Khan will score a direct hit from the boundary.

[gokulsreeragam]

Inzamam was out- he should play tough cricket. There is no time to relax. How can he casually move back to the crease. Shoaib could have been at short mid wicket. He need not have ran in, but that said i don't think that was deliberate.
