Randiv s act of bowling a no-ball, with the scores level and Virender Sehwag on 99, has inevitably stirred a hornet s nest. But just how much of the outrage is justified? asks Anand Vasu in the Hindustan Times.
Just as in life, where you and I obey laws rather selectively who among us has not driven 10 km above the speed limit, or perhaps after a few drinks at an impromptu celebration? Both of these are against the law, and we know it, but don t pay heed, not merely because the punishments, if caught, are relatively mild, and because peer pressure does not even come to bear. It s as though it s okay to break certain rules. In cricket, it s much the same.
