I read on a Greater Manchester cricket clubs website that there was some gamesmanship during the Rammy v Hassy game.
Apparently this made sure players and supporters hung around longer than was necessary. Surely if you are batting second you can chase down the opponents score off any amount of overs if you fancy the challenge. You wait until it becomes an impossible task. No problem.

I believe that gamesmanship is the use of dubious (although not technically illegal) methods to win a game.

Would that include producing a thirty yard boundary for a T20 game in an attempt to improve your run rate ?? Shocked Shocked
