The Outsider Posted May 31, 2008 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:
flamy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Completely agree! I was going to post this on the match thread, but couldn't move my butt to the other room.
Rajiv Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 I thought it was coz the rules allowed it, PS...was there a runner
The Outsider Posted May 31, 2008 Author 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 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.
Rajiv Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 ohh.i was scrolling through match comm at cricinfo so didnt really notice
Mr. Wicket Posted May 31, 2008 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...
fineleg Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 Completely agree! I was going to post this on the match thread' date=' but couldn't move my butt to the other room.[/quote'] Now I'm thoroughly confused...how many roomz are there? and where and why are you moving?

fineleg Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 ^^ gotta buy a wireless router, I know. or a 50-foot CAT-5 ethernet cable :haha:
flamy Posted May 31, 2008 Posted May 31, 2008 my dad'll kill me :D I spent weeks camouflaging the wires for my home theater :((
King Posted May 31, 2008 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.
