Rather he used to immediately start for the pavilion. Again during the crucial league match between Pakistan and West indies during the 1987 World Cup, the bowler Courtney Walsh could have easily broken the wicket as the non-striker Saleem Jaffar had left the crease in excitement before the completion of the delivery. Had he done that unsporting act (though absolutely legal), West Indies could have won the match and reached the semi-final. But Walsh had preferred to maintain his dignity so as to respect the spirit of the game and sacrificed the interest of his team.
Next, how can we forget that liberal act of the Indian captain Gundappa Vishwanath who had called back England’s Bob Taylor just because the umpire had erroneously declared him out! Kolkata’s Eden Gardens had displayed immense warmth to the great Asif Iqbal during his farewell Test when he was leaving the field for the very last time.
