Re: Sportsman spiritship
I am glad you did. 
Yes, I second your thoughts. This gentleman’ly’ factor comes into question for the batting side as well as the fielding side. And to add one more element in this equation of ours, the spectators also furnish as a major part of this puzzle. Riots break out in stands and human lives are taken past the danger line and for what? Behind the curtains is the role of media which can take the fairytale ending and twist it into a nightmare.
The sportsmanship spirit is still seen these days, but unlikely to catch any attention. Even if it is there, it hardly gets any attention from the commentators. An added sentence or two, and we get back to normal programming.
Top post by James_Bhaand. Nice reading.
I stumbled across this very well-written article by Sangakkara. A sentence below caught my eye -
“We also seem to understand that sport is sport.”
