cricket and monkeys

Hi Boz I am going to guess you know little about cricket i guess i dont either how ever i do recall a saying "its not cricket" whick basically means it is unfair based on the premise that cricket was played fairly and the batters would admit to being out without having to have the umpire give them out, and walk or fielders if they really didnt take the catch would say so fielders in the outfield would signal if a ball was a six, even though it gave the opposition more runs and at the end of the game it would be handshakes all round now i am not saying both teams didnt want to win but it was a win won fairly just the otherday have been a few instances in the game that simply are not cricket batters holding there ground even though they knew they were out fielders claiming catches which were not and the batter being given out and name calling now this isnt new, and in their has been some words spoken that would of been beeped out on tv however the last bit of name calling really sinks to the lowest of the low the player was called a monkey thats right MONKEY thats like really really bad and earned the offender a 3 match suspension (and this is top level international cricket, playing for your country) odd in a country where bastard is a term of endearment i guess now the lawyers get involved and money over something that is rather childish (on both parts) it gives a new slant to being valled a cheeky monkey as a child, maybe i can sue? i have never really followed cricket, and this is the most interesting thing to happen in ages lol
