I'm in two minds about it - I can see the view that it's a competitive game and as long as it's within the rules ... I also think the 'gentlemen's game' part of cricket is a valued tradition ...
Naturally, comparisons with (NZ's) B ...[text shortened]... bout this but definitely didn't like the 'bowl slow' tactic used in the last ODI ...
