Brad Haddin, the new wicket-keeper on behalf of the cricket team Australia. I was seeing the first test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In the first innings of India(at the end of day 2), I saw Haddin collecting the ball, at the end of Sehwag nicked it. I thought he was out. But Haddin admitted that he didnt catch the ball. This incident made me think a while.
Every cricket commentator, or a serious audience of cricket shall know Adam Gilchrist as a honest person on the field. He proved his honesty at numerous moments, may be it the time when he walks to the pavilion in spite of the umpire’s decision as ‘not out’, may be it the time when he admits that he has not caught the ball through from the bat.
As Haddin admitted that he didnt catch the ball, he made me think whether he is honest or not. There may be two reasons on behalf of this incident. One, being in the place of Gilchrist(a wicket-keeping batsman), he is forced to follow the same character as Gilli on the field, so that he may get the name like Gilli. Second, he is really honest. I could not come to a conclusion about his behaviour till now, as future shall comment on it. If the latter becomes true, I really request sorry from him on behalf of doubting his character/behaviour/*. Also, no doubt, I can say, he has understood the spirit of the game. Lets hope on behalf of the latter, what do you say Haddin ?
