Recommended Posts

Big match player this guy. He came in when New Zealand were dominating. Changed the whole game around while fighting through.
Butler changed the momentum.

Like maradona hand of God

There's a massive difference.

 

Maradona cheated and continued to celebrate even though he knew what he did was wrong. He's still happy about cheating 30 years on.

 

Stokes dived to make the run and was not even looking at the ball when it was being thrown back to the wicket keeper. He then apologised to the New Zealand team.

The ball went to boundary earning 4 runs without which Eng would have lost. And it was also counted as a boundary. What is the point of that sorry. As a neutral it feels NZ were robbed.

It is in the rules that this is acceptable and both teams are aware of the rules beforehand.

It was a freak occurrence, it's almost the same as the ball hitting the wicket and the bails not coming off (which has happened a couple of times in this world cup. 

 

Maradona broke the rules on purpose and was very happy to do so, he then had the arrogance to say that God was responsible for the cheating.

The moral standards of Cricket and football are different. In football, every minute defender or attacker is trying to cheat as long as referee is not seeing. Onus is there on referee. Don’t forget, in those days, defenders were beating Maradona to pulp right in front of cameras and hundreds of crowd.

 

Maradona issue is equal to English complaining about ball tampering by Pakistani’s un WC-1992.

 

For a neutral, there is nothing to discuss, bcos footie is national game, English moaned louder and still moaning.
