Re: Aleem Dar admits of wrongly adjudging Tendi out during the last ODI of Natwest Se
This is the part I have problems with.
ICC expects players to have absolutely no emotions. In other words, ICC thinks that players are just not human beings.
The fact is, the game is highly stacked in batsmen's favor and most bastsmen ARE cheats. They hardly ever walk these days, despite being obviously out. If there were a nick, the batsman would wait for the umpire to give him out rather than walking himself. If the umpire doesn't give him out, well, good luck to them and tough luck for the fielding team. If they gladly accept a wrong decision in their favor, they have no right to STAY at the crease and glare at the umpire when given out wrongly.
If the fielding team knowingly claims a false catch, they are fined and penalised. Case in point, Rashid Latif in the 2003-2004 series against South Africa. Why is it OK for the batsman to stay at the crease knowing that he got a nick when there's a heavy penalty for the fielder for knowingly claim a false catch?
I wonder if Tendulkar actually had a nick and was given not out, would he have gone to the umpire and the opposing captain after the game and said "Hard Luck".
