da winzada777: Following the no-ball by Randiv to Sehwag, there has been outrage, sympathy and some amount of confusion
da heads bet: Cricinfo staff19-Aug-2010″This is a clear sign that the notion of fair play is still very important to those who love the game of cricket and we commend SLC on its commitment to that.”
“It was a pretty straight ball and there was no good reason for a seasoned keeper to miss it and concede four byes which levelled the scores. Yes, we have seen the best of fielders drop simple catches, so that miss can be explained too, but what happened after that does give reason to ponder whether it was a simple miss or whether something was amiss.”
“No team wants to allow a batsman to cross the century mark and all the teams in the world have succeeded on number of occasions in denying the batsman of a century. Even we Indians have followed this.”
“I didn’t even know there was a no-ball rule like this. I will just be happy to get a hundred first and then worry about that.”
“Amidst all the moral hysteria and accusations flying about like witchcraft accusations in some medieval village, poor Randiv might have chosen to voluntarily put his head on the chopping block.”
Hindu”Hypothetically speaking if Sehwag plays a shot and a run-out occurs, then what happens? How do you say the match is over and the ball is dead? It was not dead when Sehwag hit a six.”
“These days, no team appreciates an opponent’s good knock or good work with the ball. The game is played like a war between the teams.”
