cheating
by on Apr 09, 2007 02:55 PM

how can the umpires call a dead ball when the bowler has completed his run up and completed his action of bowling but does not deliver. Such delivery should be called a no ball and give advantage to the batting side. What a mess when Fernando did not deliver the sixth and last delivery of the innings but got the advantage of a dead ball and on the last delivery got the wicket. Please remember in tense situation, the batsman always tries for huge hit and is mentally prepared for it. The players should not cheat like what has been said above. One ball to go - three runs required. Fernando may be a hero in his country but is a cheat. Remember Courtney Walsh warning to Abdul Qadir. Had he adopted the tactics, he would not got the great award of Sportsman of the Year. Play the game in true spirt
