Let's say Agha had taken that single.

You still would have lost by 127 runs :sarf2
 
Miraz is an idiot. Even few months back he was mobilizing cricketers to take a political stance, he is hated inside Bangladesh as well

Nangin kitty cat on purpose got in Salman's way to prevent him from getting back to the crease.

P.S. Salman looks like an Azhar Mahmood twin 😆

Mehdi clearly blocked Agha's way. no doubt Agha should be more concerned about getting back rather than picking up ball. But this was extremely poor from cheap and pathetic cricketing nation.

Why do our players have to try and prove their “sportsmanship” and “ambassadorship” to the game?

All this back slapping, smiling, queuing up to shake the opponents hand when theyve smashed you across the park, picking the ball up for the bowler, giving christmas gifts. What the heck is wrong with these fools. Just shut up and play the game and play to win.

The Bangladeshi player may well have done something unsporting, but it’s your job to protect your wicket. As they say in boxing “protect yourself at all times”
 
Also don’t know how many of you actively play sports but sometimes instinct takes over due to adrenaline. Miraz was just in his follow through and acted purely out of instinct.

Why is Agha holding a ball in game play?

If he had a few seconds to think and do it maybe I would say wrong spirit even though within the rules.

However I feel an international cricketer and that too a captain getting out this way is the least punishment he can get away with. If Gambhir was the coach, he would bench a player for 5 games for this kind of lack of awareness.
 
I have no problem with lack of sportsmanship. In fact I think if it's legal, within the rules, it's within the sportsmanship.

If there's a problem with an act in sports. Then make it illegal.

However on this particular instance, Salman wanted to get back in crease but the bowler came in his way (doesn't matter if he was after the ball or not). As soon a batter or a bowler comes in other's way. It's obstruction and no advantage needs to be given to the other party for obstructing. Hence the ball should've been dead right there and then.

This was a mistake by the umpire. Plenty of times in Cricket before we have seen batters getting obstruct by the bowlers. At times even collide. But none of the bowlers thinks of running the batter out because it was a clear intentional or unintentional obstruction by them.

Lastly there was no question of Salman taking a run. Salman was one feet away from the stumps on non strikers end when the ball stopped around his legs. There was no threat or advantage Salman could've taken.

Umpires are to be blamed for wrong decision.

Kumar Dharmasena has become a horrible umpire off late. It all started off with his weird obsession with selfies.
 
Although it was in poor taste, it was still legal. In an international match, there are no friendships between the teams once the match starts. Agha should have been careful. If someone does it in a world cup knockout match, then what?

Your point would be valid if Salman had the awareness of the rules. But as we can see from the video 1) he never even tried to push the fielder or shown willingness to get back to the crease 2) instead of trying to reach the crease, he was busy helping his long lost brother to hand over the ball - what is that circus?

If there is no willingness exhibited by the bat to get to the crease, that batsman basically loses the right to appeal for obstruction.
 
Mehidy behaved like a complete coward. He should lose his captaincy for this.

Feel bad for Agha. He was trying to be a gentleman by handing over the ball. Miraz behaved like a complete Karen.

Lesson: In life, never take anything for granted and don't keep any loophole open. You never know what kind of Karen you may encounter. :inti
 
What Mehidy did could be fair or not. Still I have one question. What is the need for a batsman to pick up the ball? The batsman has to get to the crease first. These days with so much in stake in each match, teams need not adhere to fair play rules or sportsman spirit. The same thing could happen in a match against Australia or South Africa also. If the non striker batsman is out of the crease, he could be run out by the bowler which is based on the rules.
 
What a shameful act it was from Miraz... I would have allowed mankad, but this run out was totally unethical...
 
Can't speak for others but I would have been extremely ashamed if an Indian player did it. Kohli has already done things till date that has left some biter taste in my mouth. No more of any of these stuff from my team.​
 
Technically mehdi was within his right to run agha out maybe not sportsmanship you expect from a fellow professional player but what was agha doing no game awareness at all he gave an opportunity to an opponent to run him out unnecessarily and we had a mini collapse
 
Fair by the laws but borderline bush telegraph in spirit; Agha's lapse invited it, yet Miraz could have built goodwill by withdrawing the appeal.

You have to also think this is the brotherly mulq of Pakistan you are playing against. Maybe Bangladesh players are unhappy with PCB's support to BCB, that had further dented their chances of WC participaation
 
The issue should be burried and be treated as a non issue now because at the end of the day Pakistan won the game.

Sri Lankans reacted more emotionally to the Angelo Mathews incident because they also ended up losing the game.

Watching the video what Agha did is also funny lol. He is standing his ground like he is inside the crease. There is a potential chance of richochetting on to stumps. You should immediately try to drag yourself back in.

If you do research Rizwan is the root cause of this problem :)
Click to expand...
Exactly. It’s all Rizwan and misbah’s fault. If Rizwan had never been born agha would have stretched to plonk his bat in the crease as a batsman ought to until the fielder collects the ball and it is deemed dead.
 
Have absolutely no sympathy for the Bangladeshi cricketers.

Aisa attitude dikhate hai ki wo long Ronaldo level talent hai.
 
It's a simple enough rule for ICC to amend. A player cannot be deemed to be run out if he was actively impeded in reaching the crease and he would have no problem in reaching the crease were it not for the actions of the opposing player
 
Agha was out of his crease.
Mirza behavior in my opinion was disgusting and very unprofessional
Umpires decision was fair
 
Ramiz Raja speaking:

"I come from a different school of thought. Today, the game is played differently; teams go for the jugular the moment they see an opportunity! This was outside the sportsman's spirit."

"He (Mehidy) was well within his rights to get that run out. Agha's intention here was to do a good deed. You never do that to the opposition."

"Agha's stern reaction was obvious. The intentions of both players were very different. One player was trying to run the other out while the second one was trying to be friendly. And there's no room for friendliness in this contest."

"I would give Bangladesh a 10 out of 100 for this. They could have done a bit better."
 
Pakistanis are so angry with Bangladesh when in reality they should be more concerned over the fact that their T20 captain has such poor game awareness
 
Its funny watching indians talk about this.

Indians dont look at the issue, they look at their feelings and relations. So if they have bad relations with bangladesh, so everything they do will be against them.

This is a nation that defends ashwins mankad

Mankad always will be a fair form of dismissal especially if the batsmen is taking an advantage.

Regardless of India's relations with Bangladesh, Bangladesh cricketers have always shown themselves to be crass.
 
I'll point to the Sachin run out as well when he was impeded. But then that was probably an involuntary action. This is blatant

Mohammad Amir on the development:


Mehidy had blocked Agha and inflicted the run-out. Why did the umpires not take note of this fact? The umpires could've prevented the controversy if they had noticed it,"

As much as Mehidy was at fault or Agha was at fault, we should also raise questions on the umpires. They could've given the benefit of the doubt to the batter as he had been blocked.

Umpiring standards are going down day-by-day. It was clear that the batter had been blocked by the bowler and that is why he couldn't get back to his crease," Amir added.

Bangladesh could've done better. Mehidy should've led from the front and by example. Cricket is a gentleman's game. The sportsman's spirit that we are taught was absent,"

Whoever is defending Agha needs a reality check. Bro is outside the crease, ball is still in play and even tries to pick up the ball. Rightfully given out. Stupidity at max

Finally someone has some proper sense.


Still I would call it unsportsmanlike act by Miraz. But people need to get it in their heads the batsman was out of the crease and risked the whole thing. Batsman didnt give the ball first the bowler picked it up quickly before batsman could and run him out. Agha was too casual there it would’ve ok to be like that if he came back in the crease and then went to pick up the ball to give it to the bowler which wasnt the case.

Can’t blame Tigers only. Pakistani players trust opponents too much. Remember the Raina/ Inzimam incident? I have same feeling.
 
I really don't understand what is the spirit of cricket and what comes under the spirit of cricket..If a batsman is out of crease and the wicket keeper stumps him, it's fair; However the same the non striker does and a bowler stumps him it's against the spirit of cricket..who said that?.. Long year before Inzi was twice out due to the obstruction of ball when trying to run out. No body said it was against the spirit of cricket.. Everyone agreed it was stupidity or say innocence of inzy. Here, Agha was out of the crease. Even if Salman had picked the ball before Miraz, it would have been considered as obstruction of the field since the ball isn't dead and bowler is trying for a run out.. Cricket is played with Rules, If spirit of cricket is displayed by a player it can be appreciated.However if someone doesn't he should not be ridiculed or demonised as he did as per the rules which according to me is also the spirit of cricket. Only the illegal things which are not as per the rules are against the spirit of cricket..
 
Liton Das lambasted on Salman Ali Agha with following thoughts after the run out episode in the 2nd ODI:
  • "First of all, no one came here to play a charity league; this is an international match.”
  • “Since the dismissal is within the rules, I don't see from any angle that sportsmanship was compromised.”
  • “Everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion. But as players, we felt that an out is an out.”

Are you saying ethics, morals, fair play, and sportsmanship should only apply to run outs and mankads and not to appealing for bumped catches, not walking after edging, and insulting fellow players through cusses on the field? A bit hypocritical, isn’t it?

In this case, neither country is a friend - so perhaps falling back on the laws of the game to support one’s argument is too much to ask?
 
Should be happy Agha got this lesson in some useless ODI series and not a WC, now he can shelve the stupid nice guy act. Can’t just trust everybody like your best friend in a friendly park cricket game.

Very stupid statements from Litton.

Litton doesn't like Pakistan because he is a hindu. All hindu Bangladeshis hate Pakistan. ROFL.

I have seen many Bangladeshis condemn Miraz's action on social media. So, Litton's view is in the minority.

What Miraz did was cheap and low-class. Agha was never attempting to take a run. Miraz needed to his brain better. :inti
 
Pakistan player Salman Ali Agha has been handed an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the second ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Friday

Salman was found to have breached Article 2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “abuse of cricket equipment or clothing, ground equipment or fixtures and fittings during an International Match.”

In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Salman’s disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in a 24-month period.

The incident occurred in the 39th over of Pakistan’s innings when, after being run out, Salman threw his batting gloves and helmet to the ground in an inappropriate manner.

Salman admitted the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Neeyamur Rashid Rahul of the Emirates ICC International Panel of Match Referees, so there was no need for a formal hearing.

On-field umpires Adrian Holdstock and Tanvir Ahmed, third umpire Kumar Dharmasena and fourth umpire Masudur Rahman Mukul levelled the charge.

Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player’s match fee, and one or two demerit points.
 
Embarrassing to see Pakistani players begging for sportsmanship. The players need a class and session on their own and the countries self respect

ICC is biggest bunch of soyboys.. whole board should be dissolved.

Handing out demerit points because a sportsman threw his equipment on the ground 🤡

But when boards have actual disputes ICC sits aside doing nothing.

I like Salman but this is a dumb move from him. If you're gonna offer to pick up the ball, ground your bat and get in your crease first.

These Indians disrupted global tournaments with their filthy shenanigans, destroyed spirit of the game many times to appease BJP government, their fans issue rape threats after any minor incident, but one Bangali caused a sneaky run out and their backsides exploded and they remembered spirit of the game and ethics.
 
Saw it afterwards and it was clearly Agha"s fault for being so far out of the crease trying to pick up the ball for the bowler.

Why on earth would you do that?

You're not playing a friendly game or something this is an actual ODI match and you're doing this.

Just a proper brain fade.
 
Threads about Miraz and BD and yet Sweepys lamenting about India

India lives in mind rent free....
:bumble2
 
This looked ugly!

Miraz's action was with the laws, but not within the spirit of the game.

Agha showed a total lack of game awareness. A complete brain fade (this is where the current lot are failing themselves / us). The ball was still in play, and he should have known better. He should have got to his crease first, checked with the onfield umpire that the ball was dead before touching it like that.
 
Issue imo is minor but it just looks terrible when you see the video, Salman quickly tries to get back in the crease, Nangin obstructs on purpose and gets him run out.

Salman had a loss of concentration, Nangin captain could've done the right thing and called Salman back but he didn't which was a terrible look to the game.

Below is how you show sportsmanship, Alhamdulillah
