Even a terrorist can justify his attack by using any logic So buttler should not leave the crease and make the 22 yards shorter illegally. He should run the whole 22 yards for his run. flamy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am the one who advocated exclusion of KKD in ODI, Vijay in Tests. May be you think everybody is regionalistic like you?

Guest Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Ashwin did nothing wrong. In fact I credit him for potentially being a pioneer in what was always a gray area This spirit of cricket is BS Batsmen nick and they don't walk People like Sachin ball tamper etc Batsman always get save by a yard or two thanks to backing up too much Simple: DO not leave the crease until bowler has delivered the ball.

Vilander Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Full melt down from poms Aussies Pakistani in twitter and some indians from certain regions.. Are playing along. Dudes read between the lines these scum can come here and hurt a test player like Ashwin and you are supporting them unwittingly.

profster Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Been busy lurking :-) but had to say one thing too lazy to do it myself: Forget the holy "spirit of cricket" however sacred or profane it actually might be (I will betray my prejudices and say that it only seems to apply when non-Goras are the perpetrators and Goras are affected). If you want to argue your case for or against Ashwin, why not compile *all* screenshots of Buttler at the non-stricker's end *at the point of delivery* in the match and then argue your case? Fair and simple for somebody that can replay the stream with decent digital skills and wants to argue good faith. After all, if Buttler always/never (most likely in the majority of cases his behavior is a certain way) left his crease before the ball had been bowled by the bowler, we have no rationale for Ashwin doing what he did or Buttler being aggrieved and the others commenting on the spirits and rules and precedents of the game and such.

Check your eyes then. He left the crease before the ball was released. Until ball completely leaves his hand it is not considered "released".

Gollum Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Admire him, hate him whatever. No one can deny Ashwin is a super smart guy. Not just does he develop so many ingenious variations which have eluded spinners for so many decades, he even clears the way to ban chuckers plus exposes loopholes in ICC rules for the betterment of the sport. Sometimes he acts oversmart and annoys all of us, but he truly is one of the most cerebral cricketers to have played cricket at the highest level. I think he will do great post his playing career, as commentator/expert/umpire/coach/writer and I for one look forward to see his post cricket career choice(s). Internationally we haven't had too many great thinkers of the sport for the last few years, Ash could change that. philcric, flamy, profster and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Let's also not distract from an amazing spell by Ashwin 4 overs 20 runs 1 wicket when Rahane and Butler were smacking every other bowler everywhere Rahane is Ashwin bunny SOmething like 30 balls, 25 runs, 4 times dismissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afan Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 All the fence sitters including me are now supporting Ashwin just because Warne chose to bad mouth one of our very own. If the law needs to be ammended, then do that.. Spirit of the game cannot be violated if the Laws of the game is not broken.. If they are at variance with each other then the cricket lords needs to set it right and not blame players for the fiasco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until ball completely leaves his hand it is not considered "released". To be clear, I support what Ashwin did and believe that this will spice up LOI Cricket if ICC allows the law to stand in its current form. To me it is similar to the history and rules about "stolen base" in Baseball: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_base All I am making is the "Karma Argument": If Buttler left his crease before the delivery in most/least of his stays at the non-strickers end then that would be a persuasive argument for those making the "subjective" interpretation of the rule. For me, the Umpires made the ruling on an appeal from Ashwin and other KXIP players (I could see at least one making an unequivocal and strong appeal) and that is all there to it.

He started this whole charade by not running out salim jaffer who backed out way too much. They went on to lose the match. Ya sure you got spirit award. You couldn't get to world cup semis because of that. He was unfairly so far outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
