What an absolutely pathetic display of spirit of the game by Warner! #Shameful What say @ashwinravi99? pic.twitter.com/wVrssqOENW

Definition of Sportsmen Spirit/Sportsmanship
This is not the matter of "it is in the rules" or not, but where is the sportsmen spirit?
If it is allowed in ICC Rules and Regulations, than why Ben Stokes apologized to NZ team that it wasn't intentional? What if in 1994, Amir Sohail did the same to Danny Morrison?
This is harsh
But Australians have a history of utilizing the flaw in ICC rules which is not a bad thing, I am not saying that it should be degraded but the fact is why appreciating such act which is allowed in the books of the law but not appreciated in the books of sportsmen spirit?
Either by Hook or by Crook
I do not wanna go through their history but their history depicts they have been aggressive which again not a bad thing but aggression with etiquette and sportsmen spirit makes you a true champ and the motive of writing this article is not pointing fingers on quick decision making of Warner but the way their coach and some school of thought were appreciating this as if it didn't defy spirit of the game, otherwise the same law should be applied on players of other teams to have a look at Australian bowlers' popping foot and instead of overlooking, demand for a no ball when they come near to the danger zone, because this demands for a clear check whether we would like to play this game of cricket with true spirit or otherwise be it being played without taking account of sportsmen spirit?
My conclusion
I am again on the same instance that no doubt it was on the books of the law, but shouldn't we be incorporating sportsmanship when it comes to incidents like that which brings bad taste to the mouth, whenever discussed, just like that underarm delivery incident did, when after the conclusion of the match, batter was seen disgusted throwing down his bat, do we want our sportsman be disgusted and degraded like that? Choice is on them, I can only point out and identify.
