Cricket was originally a game only played by gentleman and the thought of cheating was abhorrent. Therefore to say that someone's proposed actions "wouldn't be cricket" is to say that they are unpleasant and distasteful and should not do what they had proposed.

Today cricket is played by anyone so the spirit of the game is only really found in traditional village teams where the game is played for the fun of it, not to win or lose.

I was brought up a traditional gentleman, play cricket for my village team and still hold that there are values of greater importance than winning or losing.

Being seen to play in the spirit of the game rather than to the letter of the rules.

So the idea that I would do anything to improve my statistics by cheating is extremely insulting for me.

As I stated before, I have two accounts because in blue dragon's campaign a couple or three years ago you could play as British and German. I created a second account so I knew which side I was on when I logged on to the site. I'm a bear of little brain and can be easily confused. I have since played in a couple of invitation games and leagues. I think my grand total games is less than eight hundred. (Just checked it is actually just over 250)
