The Outsider Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Sehwag's allowance of a runner for Smith was one of the best acts of sportsmanship in recent times. Sehwag is legend. Legend is Sehwag. Dilli hai dil waalon ki!:two_thumbs_up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I thought it was coz the rules allowed it' date=' PS...was there a runner[/quote'] King Kaif was running for Smith - not sure if IPL rules are different to allow for it, but if they are following standard international rules then runner is allowed only for injuries sustained during a match.

PaiN_KiLLeR Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 keeping in mind how sehwag repeatedly flouted the rules in the IPL by substituting his fast bowlers with malik/ devilliers .... and bringing them back on the field just 2-3 balls before they could begin their next spell, Viru had no moral right to object to Smith's request for a runner.

Mr. Wicket Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 At least it's better than Ganguly constantly allowing Yousuf Youhana/Moh'd Yousuf a runner for being tired in 05... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 McGrath and Maharoof protested though. They weren't entirely happy with that decision to allow a runner. I think it was commendable from Sehwag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
