you go on, please. iam i am passionate about cricket, i grew up in india, shouting at the television and all the rest. but as a teacher and mother, what i saw in that, and i m telling you, i would have taken the hit. i would have stood there taking the hit. however, in that split second, she rose above the rest of us, and the captain and everyone else was like, yeah, that s good, let s move on. everyone else was like, yeah, that s good, let s move on. andy zaltzman, i don t good, let s move on. andy zaltzman, i don t mean good, let s move on. andy zaltzman, i don t mean any good, let s move on. andy zaltzman, i don t mean any disrespect - good, let s move on. andy zaltzman, i don t mean any disrespect by - i don t mean any disrespect by saying you are missing the point because your knowledge of cricket is infinite and miners on a pinprick. but the point is, if you were a young person watching poppy or a young person watching poppy or a young person watching the australians, whic
remembered for this, alex carey, according to stuart broad. so. what is this spirit of the game stuff, what is this village green preservation society stuff? surely it s about winning? cricket commentator, tms legend, career comedian andy zaltzman, i heard you talking about the ethics of the game and how cricket is an example are sport when it comes to. and virtue and morality unfairness. and what a load of googlies, some might say, what did you make of it? i’m load of googlies, some might say, what did you make of it? what did you make of it? i m not sure i what did you make of it? i m not sure i said. what did you make of it? i m not sure i said. i what did you make of it? i m not sure i said, ithink what did you make of it? i m not sure i said, ithink i what did you make of it? i m not sure i said, i thinki said - what did you make of it? i m not sure i said, i thinki said it- what did you make of it? i m not sure i said, i thinki said it could| sure i said, i think i said
it was about fairness and integrity and responsibility in respect for personal honour and character and virtue, is that, forgive me the virtue, is that, forgive me the virtue signalling, but this was not that, alison? surely there has to be a lesson in life, this is all important, and cricket has never been under the spotlight like it is now, alison? been under the spotlight like it is now. alison? now, alison? yep, this is a high rofile now, alison? yep, this is a high profile dismissal, now, alison? yep, this is a high profile dismissal, good - now, alison? yep, this is a high| profile dismissal, good morning, everyone. andy zaltzman was sitting in the commentary box right alongside me for test match special when that incident happened, jonathan agnew described it and then i then immediately pipped up commentary for the start of the next over. and i am a bit of a stickler for the laws i suppose and i did not have an issue with australia appealing in line with the laws of the game,
