इसलिए हम आईसीसी चैंपियन ट्रॉफी में केवल x दिन हैं और वहाँ रहे हैं 2 टूर्नामेंट में खिलाड़ियों को शामिल करने वाली बहुत निराशाजनक घटनाएं, पिच पर एक और एक बंद। जबकि क्रिकेट में जुए से जुड़े भ्रष्टाचार का मुद्दा रहा है (उदा.. हैंसी क्रोनिए या स्पॉट-फिक्सिंग कांड 2011) खेल में खिलाड़ियों के बीच अच्छी भावना और ईमानदारी से खेलने की प्रतिष्ठा है। क्या ये हालिया घटनाएं एक संकेत हैं कि समय बदल रहा है, या वे केवल एक दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण ब्लिप हैं?
शुरुआत से: कदम आगे वेस्टइंडीज के विकेटकीपर दिनेश रामदीन
Ramdin has been banned for 2 games after celebrating a catch which he had actually dropped. Before I say any more about the incident I suggest you watch the clip yourself. I’m still undecided about how I feel about the ban. Whilst there is no doubt Ramdin should have told the umpire he had dropped the catch, it appears from the clips that I’ve seen that the team were fully celebrating, and the umpire had raised the finger, before Ramdin gets to his feet and runs to join the team. Until that point he doesn’t jump or or throw the ball up as is normal to do when claiming a wicket. If he didn’t claim the catch, or celebrate the catch, but just went along with the decision without saying anything is this any worse than when batsmen fail to walk knowing full well that they have nicked the ball? Yes it’s unsporting, and yes he should have been honest, but I feel a ban would have been more worthy if he had actively claimed the wicket. On the other hand, my sympathy is very limited, and I hope this will send a message to players about the importance of the spirit of the game.
घटना 2: आगे कदम ऑस्ट्रेलिया डेविड वार्नर
According to media reports David Warner launched an unprovoked attack on England’s new star Joe Root in the early hours following England’s victory over Australia in the Champions Trophy group match. Whilst some have said the England players shouldn’t have been in an Australian themed bar, or that they shouldn’t have been out at all, I disagree. Cricketers of opposing teams have historically enjoyed a drink with each other after a game has finished and this is a very good thing. Mutual respect and even friendship between opponents is something to uphold and cherish. The issue of times is a decision the players and team management are entitled to and it is clear from interviews that Captain Cook was quite happy for the players to have take a rare opportunity to let their hair down. Expecting or demanding that players never be allowed to have a “night off” is both unreasonable and only likely to drive the behaviour underground.
इसलिए, the England side of thing dealt with lets (संक्षिप्त) talk about the perpetrator. It is now clear that the attack involved a punch and was unprovoked. This is totally inappropriate behaviour and there can be no excuses made. Whilst it is always better to be generous in judgement, की उम्र में 26 Warner needs to ensure that this is his last serious incident of this sort. His swift and sincere sounding apology may just have dug him out of a hole, and his ability on the field means we should be grateful that he is still likely to feature in the upcoming Ashes series. The reputation of Australia, and Cricket as a sport has been damaged by his actions and he would be well advised to keep his future energies focused on the pitch.
दोनों श्री वार्नर के लिए, and anyone else feeling any hard feelings towards the opposition I recommend re-watching the end of the second Test from the 2005 Ashes — a एंड्रयू फ्लिंटॉफ और ब्रेट ली के बीच पल that far better represents the game than some stupid drunken mistake in a bar.
