Gollum Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hate English cricketers, their self-righteousness knows no end, and that snobbery. Woh kare toh chamatkar, koi aur kare toh balatkar. mishra, Switchblade, Turning_track and 3 others 2 4 Link to comment

zen Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) The larger point is that it is easy to Mankad, but most cricketers chose not to do it. Other teams could do that to K11 batsmen too, who are found to be out of their crease - Mayank for e.g. where Krunal warned him. Other examples being DK vs DC, and so on Ashwin took the easy route to do that to a batsman, who was actually inside the crease on that occasion at the time Ashwin was expected to bowl the delivery. It was not even a Mankad as MCC implied the umpire could have interpreted it differently to give a not out. It is dumb to do it when your batsmen do it all the time and others let that go, on top of that when the batsman is “actually” in To me, India in general is poor in sports and lacks innovative thinking. Instances such as “Ashwining” pop up and even finds some support here is not surprising. I would not be surprised if most Mankading has been attempted by India / subcon teams (all usually poor in sports) As for the poms, they are being poms. However, the video mentions that Ashwin’s behaviour is being shredded Edited April 1, 2019 by zen Austin 3:!6, SrinjayDutta, Sachinism and 3 others 1 1 4 Link to comment

Gollum Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Anderson physically assaulted Jadeja when cameras weren't around in the 2014 tour. He has also been caught on camera stepping on the ball with his spikes to scuff it up. Guys like him and Warne sure are being lippy now. mishra, Cricwala and Real McCoy 1 1 1 Link to comment

When they were running ICC things were so fair, right? Do enlighten us which teams have attempted maximum bumped catch claims, abusive sledging, ball tampering, influencing/intimidating umpires/ref, physical assaults, dubious appealing, obstructing the field, handling the ball etc. Real McCoy, Cricwala and Clarke 1 2 Link to comment

See the scope and scale of what is being implied Let's not display whataboutisms, and black and white thinking - no one implied that others are saints (and should not be criticized if they do something wrong). It appears as if the tendency to ignore red lights when no one is looking, litter everywhere, etc., and then justifying such using pointless arguments, unfortunately, gets carried over in sports too, which countries like Ind are not good at relatively (either playing or understanding it) Link to comment

In general, dumb strategies like "Mankading/Ashwining" is attempted by cricketers/teams displaying poor thinking in sports .... which is why I would not be surprised if players from subcon teams attempted it the most Link to comment
Gollum Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 (edited) Meanwhile the umpire Oxenford who ruled Butler out doesn't get any criticism. He had the ICC rule book, he had the replay, he could have solved the problem as per the wishes of the haters but he didn't. This is 'white privilege' in this sport. Just like how Bucknor got the boot while Benson didn't get any criticism/punishment post 2008 SCG, just like how Sarwan was fined/reprimanded despite McGrath starting the fight....racism, classism, casteism all deeply embedded in this colonial invention.

They have more refined thinking of sports, better sports culture, why do they employ questionable tactics? Link to comment

Feel free to do so if it makes you happy and have time on your hands - black sheeps are everywhere (which is not the key point). If you do that don't forget to also list similar instances from Ind/sub-continent teams too including umpiring during Kumble's 10-for, at Kol, in the A'bad test vs SA in 1996, match-fixing, ball tempering, chucking, etc., .... Mankading/Ashwining is self-destructive tactic esp. when batsmen from all teams do that to some degree. And only cricketers/teams with poor thinking would seek to leverage on it Link to comment
