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.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

One response to “It’s just not cricket”
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
