]]> Comment on Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh batted on in search of personal achievements at the expense of a result by R Sathyamurthy http://karthik007.wordpress.com/2008/12/25/gautam-gambhir-and-yuvraj-singh-batted-on-in-search-of-personal-achievements-at-the-expense-of-a-result/#comment-41 R Sathyamurthy Thu, 25 Dec 2008 13:59:20 +0000 http://karthik007.wordpress.com/?p=972#comment-41 The question to be asked is, if England, supposedly thinking in 21st Century terms (compared to India, which according to Independent(?) has thinking resembling 1960s), would have declared earlier, in the same circumstances. Answer will be a big NO. To my limited cricket knowledge, a sportive declaration in these circumstances has happened in the recent past. There is one instance when South Africa declared and lost the match but that was a gamble played by SA since they were trailing in the series and were looking to level. See the scorecard here (http://content-gulf.cricinfo.com/statsguru/engine/match/226373.html) to know the result. So the gamble has to come from the team trying to equalise and not from the team that has the advantage. The Independent is actually living in the times of 19th Century to demand such sporting declaration. I do not think any sane captain will put the achievement at stake for the benefit of getting the tag "sporting captain" tag.
