Sportsmanship In Cricket

[alfa_beta]

What are you on about? Beamer is one of the easiest balls to deliver - you don't have to target a certain spot on the pitch. You simply let go of the ball, aiming at the batsman - that's all.

However, bouncer is a different story as you have to pitch the ball and not hurl it as a full-toss.

Whether it was deliberate or not is debateable...

All I know is when I bowl I cannot bowl a beamer without dropping alot o fpace and modifying my action alot; I doubt shoaib did this and so in my opinion he is innocent of any attempted assult

Thats just bad'n'Shady! BRING BACK the Sportsmanship in Cricket!

I'm not saying for players to lose aggression or anything! I'm just saying, if someone is hurt or injured, they should look to help them.

Aggression is a good thing in sport, but I don't think it should be applied all the time.

I don't think aggression is a problem in cricket. After all cricket is not contact sport and there's hardly ever a chance for batsman to get seriously hurt. Even if a batsman is hit by the bowler, there's not much fielders can do about it. Let the players play as they feel like and if they don't want to baby-sit the batsman after he's hit, so be it!

LOL! Seems that most of you think differently than I do. Well, that is the sort of things I would want to see in cricket. But that's my opinion :

well, sportsmanship is certainly not lost completely.
during the recent indo-pak test series, younis khan took a run, the ball got deflected from his bat, he ran all the way to almost third man to fetch the ball for the Indians.
this shows that cricket is still a gentleman's game

But you're an Australian you're not supposed to think like that

Sportsmanship is definetly in Cricket. Remember Freddie going up to Lee at Edgbaston after exchanging blows not just in that match but in the whole tour. The ashes got sporting at that moment.

LOL! Well I am a fast bowler myself and I do like to get aggressive when playing cricket, giving a few stares and sometimes a few verbals , But there always is a limit.

Well Shoaib has hit many players, but he is the first person to run down to the batsman, as seen here.

 

[Lucky]

OUCH! But that is the spirit taht should be shown by all players.

Guess you should also tell that to Lee and Warne.
