Cricket is usually called The Gentleman’s game. It is conducted in a civilised manner where each player upholds the highest standard of decorum. No longer! The Western Australian reported:
“Royal Challengers Bangalore strike bowler Starc was bowling to Mumbai Indians big-hitter Pollard in the opening innings of the match in Mumbai, and with Pollard going along well on 29 it seems frustration got the better of the Aussie.
When Pollard stepped back from the crease during the bowler’s run-up during the the 17th over, normally you’d expect to see Starc run through without releasing the ball.
Except, unusually, he did release the ball… and released straight at Pollard, who had retreated outside the crease, almost hitting the batsman.
Pollard was understandably livid – but his reaction almost turned a nasty moment into a historic flashpoint as he raised his bat to throw it at Starc in rage.”
Watch this fiery fight complete with bat throwing and the most passive-aggressive run-out you’ve ever seen!
