It was the fact it was the end of an over, the time where a batsman leaves the crease to talk to the other batsman.
A prescedent has been set now.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
you'll now see batsmen religiously sticking to their ground at the end of each over, adding c. 10 seconds to each one, meaning that each day will be extended by c. 15 minutes, or, in practice, that 3-4 more overs a day will be lost and never recovered.
that should bring in the crowds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Utter nonsense, 5 seconds at most, and it will come out of their chat.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Couldn't agree more...complete nonsense of an argument
If Bairstow stays where he is for a few more.seconds, it means he has a few more seconds less to chat with his teammate ...that's all the "damage" it would do
The rules are that the batsman stays at his crease until the ball is dead
Here we've got yet another cricket fan trying to make a point that sticking to the rules is somehow unsportsmanlike, but showing a complete disregard for them and just swanning about doing what you want should be allowed and not frowned upon
Such a backwards viewpoint

If an Aussie batsman is hit by a bouncer in the next Test and is writhing in agony outside his crease, let's hope they have the gumption to stump him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This
It would be interesting to see the reaction, I don't think we're far off this happening as there is very little sportsmanship left in any sport, it's win at all costs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty sure the ball would be dead in that case. Don't think we'll see either team try that one.

That’s the crux of it for me. It was blatant what he was doing, walking down the pitch at the end of the over like all batsmen do. People acting like he was trying to take a quick single, they’re thick as feck.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Literally no one thinks he was trying for a run.

If the wicket keeper makes a mistake, the batsmen can profit from it with runs and not a word is said
If the batsman makes a mistake, apparantly the wicket keeper isn't allowed to profit from it, he will get dogs abuse if he does, so he's got to be a good sport
On top of that...if the wicket keeper makes one mistake, it will no doubt be punished
The batsman is allowed to make the same mistake several times without the wicket keeper doing anything about it..but if he dares to try and catch him out after he's watched him do the same thing over and over....oh what a sneaky move, that's cheating, so unsportsmanlike
It's lunacy....fcking lunacy

Look, if you think that’s a valid comparison then it’s utterly pointless saying anything else to you.
I might have the wrong poster, but didn’t you say that you don’t really know much about cricket?

Dunno about Steve, but I said it several times.
My query, though, was regarding whether the whole 'spirit of the sport' argument should not equally apply to England's bowling the day before. Not because I know better, but because of what I read about it in the papers and the information I've been given here.
It just seems odd that it's just been swept under the carpet when just 24 hours before it was seemed to be heavily questionable even for English cricket writers.
“ Look, if you think that’s a valid comparison then it’s utterly pointless saying anything else to you.
I might have the wrong poster, but didn’t you say that you don’t really know much about cricket?”
——————————————
I think you’ve made it pretty clear that it’s utterly pointless putting any point of view to you if it’s not one you share
Forgive me if I was being a good sport by not agreeing with you, I know how touchy you cricket fans get with this stuff
Barstow made a mistake…he got punished
Other people in this sport make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake
Other people in other sports make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake
Only in Cricket would anyone try and defend someone and cry foul, for simply switching off and blatantly ignoring what was happening on the field behind them

If the wicket keeper makes a mistake, the batsmen can profit from it with runs and not a word is said
If the batsman makes a mistake, apparantly the wicket keeper isn't allowed to profit from it, he will get dogs abuse if he does, so he's got to be a good sport
On top of that...if the wicket keeper makes one mistake, it will no doubt be punished
The batsman is allowed to make the same mistake several times without the wicket keeper doing anything about it..but if he dares to try and catch him out after he's watched him do the same thing over and over....oh what a sneaky move, that's cheating, so unsportsmanlike
It's lunacy....fcking lunacy
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That’s an awful comparison.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It isn't...it really isn't
If the batsman is going to continually leave his crease without looking or checking to see if the ball is dead...it's no worse than a wicket keeper letting what should be an easy catch slip past him because he didn't concentrate enough and just took things for granted

Look, if you think that’s a valid comparison then it’s utterly pointless saying anything else to you.
I might have the wrong poster, but didn’t you say that you don’t really know much about cricket?

Dunno about Steve, but I said it several times.
My query, though, was regarding whether the whole 'spirit of the sport' argument should not equally apply to England's bowling the day before. Not because I know better, but because of what I read about it in the papers and the information I've been given here.
It just seems odd that it's just been swept under the carpet when just 24 hours before it was seemed to be heavily questionable even for English cricket writers.

I think you’ve made it pretty clear that it’s utterly pointless putting any point of view to you if it’s not one you share
Forgive me if I was being a good sport by not agreeing with you, I know how touchy you cricket fans get with this stuff
Barstow made a mistake…he got punished
Other people in this sport make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake
Other people in other sports make mistakes….they get punished, nothing said, was their mistake
Only in Cricket would anyone try and defend someone and cry foul, for simply switching off and blatantly ignoring what was happening on the field behind them
