Cricket Gimmicks: Beware of Indian provocative mischief on field

-DR. ABDUL RUFF

It is now beyond doubts that cricket is, almost entirely, a farce with necessary prior fixations of outcomes. The Ashes show  by Eng-Aus is just one example of that. 

Indian provocative mischief on field gets what India wants form the matches. It has been observed time again  that Indian bowlers rake up some fake controversy with opposite bat-boys, irritating them an causing tension leading to throwing away of the bat in anger. That is indeed a valuable wicket for India. Indians rejoice! This has happened on Dec 28 in South Africa when Indian bowler irritated the bating SA captain Smith to such an extent he lost concentration only to hit the ball senselessly right on top of his own head that was caught by Indian Captain. Unfortunately for SA team, the damage was done beyond that one wicket, it was followed by the wickets of Amla and Peterson.  Then SA batboys were unwilling to surrender some more wickets, the light came to disturb the SA batboys and match was stopped for the day.

Later, a subsequent discussion raveled that India wanted  4 wickets, but was unable to get the fourth one. In fact both the openers were playing well till the tea break but just before the break SA captain threw away his bat and immediately after  the Tea two others followed their captain's disastrous path.

Was there any signal form the mafia to support India's cricket cause? What happened at Tea? Only the India's ICC can throw some light here.

Meanwhile the teams playing against India should be over cautious about Indian provocative gimmicks to weaken the batboys' concentration.  OK?
