RE: The Gentleman's Sport
(Edited)
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
If you start asking professional athletes to "be gentlemen" and not enforce certain rules, where do you draw the line?
The poms like to whinge about the Carey runout, but weren't too gentlemanly about the clear as day Starc catch in the same match:
It's not 1920 anymore.
It's modern, professional sport.
You have rules, the umpires adjudicate, you accept the decisions.

All sport has changed. You should be able to take the word of the fielder if he took the catch or not. Today Stoinis took a catch and genuinely wasn't sure and asked them to review. The Bairstow run out was legit however and is just a different way of thinking now.
