The spirit of cricket.
Why is cricket some sport above all others in morals?
This is the sport of bodyline, of underarms, of organised sledging, of riots, of racism, or caste systems, of class divides, of so much shit it’s a wonder it ever made it this far.
The spirit of cricket is bullshit.
Protect the integrity of the game, sure, don’t calling anyone a stupid nigger poofter, sure, but let us not hold ourselves above other sports.
We are just another sport, it happens to be my favourite, and probably yours, but if cricket really had a spirit, it would be and old pompous hairy bastard who would refuse to sit in the same change room as lowly professional cricketers.
And we would still love it.
Let us not forget that the phrase spirit of cricket is often espoused by older people who played in segregated times.
