cricket and walking.

Now then, just to see how many of you have an opinion on the 'walking' incident.
Should he have walked, or did he do the correct thing?

check the grassy knoll and the Green King IPA  :bunny

Ethically he should have walked, but under the rules of play he was well within his rights to stand his ground until the umpire indicated "out",  and wasn't it Ian Chappell that once said you don't walk?

Why would you walk Ernie when you,ve got a bus pass?

When (and if) we get awarded a penalty what would we think if our player told the ref no it wasn't a penalty, you need to give the free kick the other way.
The rule is the umpire / ref makes the decision and you have to live with it even if it's wrong. In the test match we came up with a few calls that went against us. Thanks for the one that went our way.

In the early days of football there was a great amateur team called Corinthians. The club’s code forbade them entering any competitions and they also didn't take penalties because they considered that they weren’t within the spirit of the game. They were an amazing side and provided many players for the England team (including C.B. Fry who played both football and cricket for England and held the world long jump record) and also beat many of the leading clubs of the time including FA Cup winners Bury 10-3 in 1903 and Manchester United 11-3.
