It’s just not cricket

I just find this amazing. A major cricket scandal has erupted because, in the course of a match, the English team ran out a New Zealand player after he collided with the bowler and fell down. (In baseball terms, imagine that a base runner collides with an infielder and falls down, and the other team proceeds to tag him out.) As near as I can tell, the main objection that the NZ team have is that, well, it just wasn’t good sportsmanship. Isn’t that great? And the English captain has actually apologized! It really couldn’t happen in any other sport.

  1. I think its a great idea, it combines rugby with cricket, we can tackle batters as they run between the wickets. Here is the footage: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=pLDbfAFZSuQ
