It
is called the gentleman's game and the term most probably came from
England itself. But if you see the English team on the field during their tour
present tour of India, you'll certainly see the "gentlemen" part not
being applicable on the present English players. I don't claim Indian
cricketers to be most calm ones on the field but the way the English are
behaving is miles away from being calm and composed. India
played ODIs after losing all the Tests in England and even while they were losing
ODIs one after the other, it looked like their focus was more towards
performing in the matches rather than on sledging and venting their frustration
out on the other team.
On
the other hand, the English players seems to be completely shocked and
surprised by the one blow after the other that they don't know how to react,
what do to! That might explain their body language and reactions on the field.
10 years back, if an English player had said something to an Indian batsman, he
might have had got away with a smile but not today especially in front of this
all young Indian cricket team which is filled with a different kind of pride
and confidence that the Indian cricket never had before. We are on the top now,
and no-one has even a slightest of doubt about that. When asked about the
exchange of words part by Ravi Shashrti, Raina clearly said that it's hard to
digest one defeat after the other and that they are really willing to send
England home with 0-5 clean-sweep gift.
