The point is if it was done by someone else then they would have faced the consequences (at least some match fee) and real bashing from the commentators but no one on the comm even dared to utter serious remarks except Simon Doul.
Agreed, if it was some other player surely he could've received some penalty. In all means he had followed the rules, so the umpires haven't made any comments on it. The time he wastes will end the innings delay two overs at the end. This allows just 4 players outside. He had opted the risk and brought win to the team. If there is no such system of 4 players outside, then the umpires might've given warnings or they might've not allowed to waste the time.The point is if it was done by someone else then they would have faced the consequences (at least some match fee) and real bashing from the commentators but no one on the comm even dared to utter serious remarks except Simon Doul.
I disagree. I believe several commentators were pissed with what he did during that match(Gavaskar, Harsha etc). Also, I don't think others would have been treated harshly either as long as this was their first offence in the match.You are a biased fan
, which is fine and I've no problem with that. Maybe if David Warner or Aiden Markram were up against Dhoni in exactly the same situation then maybe, just maybe lol you know.
