England's double standards on 'spirit of the game'

On Sunday at Old Trafford, Manchester, Ben Stokes and his team seemed visibly frustrated and helpless. The England side initially offered a handshake to Ravindra Jadeja, implying surrender. When Jadeja declined, the matter should have ended there.

But Zak Crawley's remark—that Jadeja should've played faster if he wanted a century—was completely unnecessary. Jadeja didn't ask for his opinion, so there was no reason to repeat it.

It's ironic how the same team often invokes the "Spirit of the Game" or the so-called "gentleman's code," yet frequently fails to uphold it themselves.
