The Outsider Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Again, I am not saying what he did was acceptable - it plainly isn't - but this doesnt fall under the realm of punishable crime. Playing the game against the spirit is a punishable offense according to the MCC rules - there is no rule official specific rule against something like Rashid Latif did, but he was still banned for playing the game against the spirit.

Ram Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 As I said' date=' this should have been given out under the existing rule of obstructing the field had the fielding side appealed. Warne missed a trick there.[/quote'] Huh? What was part of what bhajji did, prevented/obstructed any of the 11 royals fielders on the ground from carrying out any action?

CSK Fan Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Ok, from cricinfo Nitin Sundar's dug this up from the laws: Deliberate short runs (a) Notwithstanding 4 above, if either umpire considers that either or both batsmen deliberately run short at his end, the umpire concerned shall, when the ball is dead, inform the other umpire of what has occurred. The bowler's end umpire shall then (i) warn both batsmen that the practice is unfair and indicate that this is a first and final warning. This warning shall apply throughout the innings. The umpire shall so inform each incoming batsman. So this is against the law too. Like Afridi, Bhajji seems to be constantly finding new illegal things to practise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarcastic Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Here is an excerpt from Cricinfo: Nitin Sundar's dug this up from the laws: Deliberate short runs (a) Notwithstanding 4 above, if either umpire considers that either or both batsmen deliberately run short at his end, the umpire concerned shall, when the ball is dead, inform the other umpire of what has occurred.

The umpire shall so inform each incoming batsman. I think that clears it all!!!!!!!!!!! One deliberate short run allowed per batsman per match!!!!!!:cantstop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directly, but if Harbhajan attempted to keep strike under the spirit he would have either have missed a run or have been run out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Outsider Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks for that clarification, MTC. IMO, there should be no warning, but at least there are some safeguards in place already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NareshK Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Obstructing the field is completely different from running a short run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Outsider Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Anyhow, the law posted by MTC clearly shows that Harbhajan cheated even according to the official rules, forget about the spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe its not within the spirit you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not within the rules - look at the extract MTC has posted. Deliberately taking a short run is illegal, and an official warning is given to the batsman.

So the first run is not illegal and hence not cheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any warning in any thing, from a court of law to a sports is given for doing something illegal. Its ok if you dont want to blame Bhajji, but in the future you should not blame a Afridi or a Ponting if they do womething which irks you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
