Playing the Game?

- Cricket's Tarnished Ideals from Bodyline to the Present

About Playing the Game?

Playing the Game? looks at the changing ethics of cricket, from the infamous Bodyline series of 1932/33 to the present day. After decades of sledging, intimidatory bowling, blatant gamesmanship and dissent, the MCC adopted The Spirit of Cricket in 2000. While the concept is a noble one, its impact has so far been limited.
