Game in disrepute
Cricketers are often charged with an offense called: 'Bringing the game into disrepute'. Usually, it's for something like excessive appealing, questioning the umpire when the batsman thinks he's wrongly given out among others. But isn't it funny that the officials never ever charged with bringing the game into disrepute? What bigger blemish on cricket than an umpire blackmailing the Cricket's Institution to leave the game? Is the game more tainted than racism being as the reason for decisions taken on the field? Who will frame charges of bringing the game into disrespute on the officials who believe they are be-all and end-all of the game?
