No one cares because it isn't a big deal man. Sehwag doesn't care, whats the big deal then. Everyone knows how bad it was and thats it we move on.

I agree to that. I think we can keep this thread to discuss other events as such which happened in the past or will happen in the time to come. Hope not many though.
Let's not go over the top here. It was a bad incident, and this needs to be stamped out. That is all. I repeat, the incident itself is not a huge deal in terms of consequence , but I do think it's a big deal in terms of poor taste.Sri Lanka is no longer our best friendThink West Indies should be our new best friend now.
Sri Lanka has hurt our feelings :crying

I think Dare makes a better point, the fact the match is over as soon as the no-ball is called is worth disputing. why not just count the runs from it as well. silly.
but I do agree, it was terribly cynical, and it's not how I like to see to cricketers conduct themselves. There are some similarities between this and broad's recent actions, I hope Randiv doesn't make any sort of habit of this as, unlike broad, he looks like he's really talented.

If it affected the match somehow yea but it just affected run for one guy who doesn't really care about one run. Also it isn't the first time it has happened and there arent threads about it. It has been a part of cricket for as long as cricket has existed, or at least the wides, no balls and what not.
But that's another thread all together.
No, I agree with you man. I've been saying that for the past few posts. Let's not have another post saying it wasn't a big deal, you've made your point. And this goes to future posters as well, no point everyone butting in saying it's not a big deal.
What I'm saying is that he did it despite it not having an effect on the match, so there's really no way I can sympathise with him. For example, in the football worldcup Suarez punched the ball from the goal line. Whilst I love Ghana and think he should be hanged for that (
), I can at least sympathise with his actions. I can see why he did it, he had a reasonable argument for doing so. In Randiv's case, it doesn't help anyone.

I am pretty sure that in the coming days something like this will come up on cricinfo. They will probably collect a bunch of bad incidents and add some comments about them.
IMO the worst is the underarm ball and from the ones I have seen it was the English and India appealing for Inzamams wicket after throwing the ball at him.

If the Sri Lankans in some way thought that Dhoni and Sehwag were dragging a finished match further then it should have gone then for them it had a point to prove. Dhoni could have finished it but he decided to do the thing that any other teammate would have done but then it also took longer then it should have so Randiv on his own or by the order of someone else just decided to end it.
I think for the Lankans it was more about ending the match then trying to stop Sehwag from scoring the century.
It was a bitch move, no doubt about it. I did not know that fact that this happens all the time. Idk why it should. A batsman should get his 100, why should be bowler disallowed him to do so? What's in it for the bowler? NOTHING. And that's what makes it even worse.
But I am sure next time Radvi faces Sehwag, he will get his ans.

What's Sehwag really going to not get from Randiv bowling the no-ball in all honesty? He's gonna miss out on another 6 runs to a career tally and another 1 added to his 100's column.
In all honesty, he hasn't just lost his life cos someone bowled a no-ball. I mean he's got 12 of them, 12/13 does it really make much difference in the end?
