Comments on: Breaking down David Warner and Nathan Lyon’s run-out of AB de Villiers – one of the most disrespectful dismissals in history https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/breaking-down-david-warner-and-nathan-lyons-run-out-of-ab-de-villiers-one-of-the-most-disrespectful-dismissals-in-recent-memory/2020/06/04/ Independent and irreverent cricket writing Wed, 10 Jun 2020 09:04:50 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.3 By: Tom https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/breaking-down-david-warner-and-nathan-lyons-run-out-of-ab-de-villiers-one-of-the-most-disrespectful-dismissals-in-recent-memory/2020/06/04/#comment-254630 Thu, 08 Mar 2018 00:32:52 +0000 https://www.kingcricket.co.uk/?p=19485#comment-254630 Never mind the run out and all that, the real talking point is the freak weather event captured in the first replay. You can clearly see a large snowflake falling as De Villiers dives for the crease. They even rock-and-roll it to make sure!

That should read coal-fired, probably.

“There’s this thing and I have seen it recently now about the line. They are saying they didn’t cross the line, but where is the line, who sets the line, where did the line come from? When you are saying you didn’t cross the line but we didn’t cross the line, you went very close to the line whose line is it?”

This is lovely stuff from Big Ottis

Ottis Gibson has finally asked the question we’ve all been thinking: ‘Whose line is it anyway?’ Almost. To within a word.

We were told quite categorically, by the Aussies, just a few months ago that Warner is a completely reformed man now. A man of the cloth. A Quaker or some similar quintessentially non-violent ministry.

Warner has obviously been framed in this recent Saffer incident. But, being such a paragon of virtue, rather than challenging the demerit points, Warner is turning the other cheek and continuing his enlightened praxis.

What a role model. What an example to us all.

And just a a point of comparison, getting 3 Demerit points for something is quite rare. Other people that have got 3 points have got them for the following:

Deliberately throwing the ball at someone
Ball tampering
Deliberate physical contact
Continuous and deliberate damaging of the pitch

Intruiging that Warner would be so happy to accept a charge putting him on a level with these offences when he hasn’t crossed “The Line”

Finally, someone has called you out on being such a Big who get. We’ve all been thinking it, it’s just nice that someone finally has the balls to stand up to you.

Tim Paine wheeled oput as “Line” edudicator yesterday,confirms that Australia have definitely, definitely not crossed “The Line” but says that South Africa have unquestionably leapt over “The Line”.

Today, Warner is fined and given points for crossing “The Line” and chooses to accept it without question.

“The Line” is confusing.

This is like that guy who corrected himself when we said we weren’t Pakistani by saying “okay, British Asian or whatever, I don’t know what the right term is.”
