Is ICC Going Over The Line?

- Shubham Dubey

Whenever there is a talk of India vs. Pakistan game, the flashback of sweet battles between Sachin and Shoaib Akhtar instantly arouse somewhere in the mind. With England vs. Australia, the innumerable emotions of the Ashes in summer, knock on the door of memories. These refined and memorable battles are on the top of the radar of every cricket fan because they are eye-catching and show true and fighting character of the cricketers.

Today, when we turn the pages of 80s and 90s era, the memories of the on-field graceful battles between the players, where a specific bowler continued troubling a particular batsman and at that instant of time, the fielder standing behind the stumps or at the position of short fine leg or even at gully, starts commenting intentionally to build the pressure on the batsman. This was kind of romantic fight between bat and bowl. Even today, these kind of things are like seasoning the recipe with chilies, which make the flavor spicier for the crowd and they enjoy it.
