diegovegaz Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I certainly think he did and am sure nothing will happen as well :hitler: As cheap as it gets Match referee wont even bother i agree with u
spectre Posted October 31, 2009 Author Posted October 31, 2009 No in unison Am i the only one to note he had a slight look at Dhoni and started moving away from the stumps on his path Atleast Sunny agreed with me
vvvslaxman Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I think it was unnecessary for him to walk backwards before even throw. You would expect the bowler to go near the stumps. It was very subtle and deliberate. You could do it very very unsuspectingly.
ludhianvi Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 I dont think so, he was backing up as he may have suspected that the throw was coming in very fast. Sunny Gavaskar surely believed he did it on purpose though.
vvvslaxman Posted October 31, 2009 Posted October 31, 2009 There is a pattern . They stand right near the center of the pitch in the most likely running path of batsmen. You really think it is hard to do without any suspicion?

It was very subtle and deliberate. You could do it very very unsuspectingly. Ludh nailed it in his previous post. He was backing up dude. There is no way the bowler/fielder will be able to stand right beside the stumps and collect a hard throw rifled in from mid-off with their bare hands. If you notice other such instances too, you'll see that it is a common pattern. Fielders dont go right behind the stumps in the strikers ends for hard throws that are mostly meant to be direct hits. Obviously, the story is different for moderate/gentle throws for those times when the batsmen is well short and fielder/bowler scrambles to go near the stumps. Then, they do try to catch the ball by standing right beside the stumps.
