Khota Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 3 hours ago, Shaz1 said: I think that is in the mind of the beholder. Amla is simply following his religion and playing a game of cricket instead of playing for humanity. If you wanna see him as a normal person than treat him like one. In the end just like anybody he is there to win not play for humanity. Thats nitpicking a little too much. He is the one wearing his religion on the sleeve. No one told him to do so. Now that he has made it clear that he will not endorse beer or any alchol etc. he makes a statement that those are wrong things. So he can make all these statements but if he cheats and is called out for that he shows that he is no better than others. So he is the last person to pontificate. Link to comment

Zero_Unit Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 in this day and age of drs, why the heck would you walk? It's all part of a strategy, waste the opposition's drs chances. Link to comment

If they don't have reviews then they pay for wrong decisions. Zero_Unit 1 Link to comment

It's all part of a strategy, waste the opposition's drs chances. DRS wasn't brought to table as a change in the way cricket is played but to improve quality of cricket by reducing howlers. To use it as a strategy is a logical thing to do but in this context of the discussion on being a walker or not it doesn't add anything. This is a moral field and one might even question use of DRS as a strategy rather than genuinely using it for its purpose only. Here, clearly amla must have known he nicked and wanting to waste opposition's drs is still not right thing to do in this context. Edited July 17, 2017 by Pollack Link to comment
Temujin Khaghan Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 if you read the English dailies, everyone is criticising root over the inefficient way of using Drs reviews. because he chose not to review amla since already a review against Elgar failed. amla made 60+ runs from that point of time. so amla's strategy worked by not walking a. he hit more runs and gave better platform for the team b. more pressure on the opp captain over the usage of Drs reviews I completely support amla here.

Its a personal choice for player and most of all a umpire's call. So you cannot say its cheating. All that is correct but one individual advertises his beliefs. He is impressing others with his pious righteous ways of living. Then he does not walk. Makes him a perfect hypocrite and everything that is wrong with his belief system. Doing the right thing and doing the legal things are two different things. Link to comment

Capable of taking care of your kids when you are away with his pleasing batting on display. Amla is the type of player any country would wanna have cause he defines class. Nice answer but let us not forget the main reason why you support him. Link to comment

I guess this may seem weird but I like these two cause Muhammad Yousif with his long beard looked pleasing to me. So it could be I try to find Muhamad Yousif in these two since his easy eye catching batting was nice to see. Now all you have to do is an attempt to blow yourself up and the stereotype would be completed Link to comment

At least that is the impression I get. Link to comment

Giving a demi-god status to Amla was over the top.At the end of the day he is just another cricketer.As Seinfeld says, not that there is anything wrong with that. Link to comment
