The old question in new age cricket- To walk or not to walk? We saw Sangakara to day walk when the umpire thought it wasn't out. He might as well have walked away from the first IPL trophy. Did he ditch his team in being honest with the opposition? Is being honest to the oposition and the umpires is more important than the collective interest of the team? If you are in a situation like that: you can play that instrumental knock and get your team to a final or say win a final for your team...would you walk or would you not?

Don't walk. In today's age of massively commercialised cricket, there are millions of rupees and hopes riding on every decision. Don't shoot yourself in the foot. The umpires are paid to decide whether you are out or not. Don't make that decision for them.

I respect him for his decision. As for my take on this: IMO, the umpires are there for a reason. Some decisions go your way and some against you. So to make if fair, I would not walk. Otherwise, the fact that you are walking and also getting some rough decisions from the umpire would make it one sided.
