Re: Raina - Substitute
He is not selected as a sub fielder. He is a batter who is sitting out because both Yuvraj and Kohli are playing well and dont deserve to be kicked out. You make it sound like they drafted a specialist fielder specifically for this purpose.
Cheating is breaking of rules. Am I being ignorant of a rule that they are breaking? Please enlighten me.
When a batsman who was not 100% fully fit plays anyway.. and then calls for a runner in the 20th over.. do you term that as CHEATING?
I do admit though that the deployment of any sub fielder for a long term is not very good sportsman spirit. But India is not the only team guilty of it. I’ve seen so many teams do it in the last few years.
yaar sharabee janay day ghussa…maan ja…no other team is doing it on a regular basis…but honestly speaking, raina is also pretty fat and not a superfit guy by any means…but somehow he holds on to cacthes…
