England talking about about spirit of cricket when they did this? - DarrenFrancis - 06-05-2014
During the 5th ODI between England and Sri Lanka in Birmingham this week, the crowd was booing the Sri Lankans after they ran out the non-striker (Jos Buttler). The Sri Lankans had warned Buttler several times and finally had no choice but to Mankad him (video of Jos Buttler Mankad run out).
England captain Alastair Cook made a huge stink of it and there was tension between the two sides after the game.
But how can England be so pretentious and talk about the spirit of the game, when they did this:

Buttler damn lucky he got a warning.
I would have run him out without any warning.
