The incident happened when Sehwag got the wicket of Dwayne Bravo just after tea and ran down the wicket to join his team mates for the celebration instead of turning towards the umpire and appealing. Sehwag pleaded guilty to the charges infront of ICC match referee Jeff Crowe in a hearing on Tuesday. Fine, I agree Sehwag violated ICC cricket rules and was punished aptly for it. But the million dollar question here is; why was Mr. Brian Lara not penalized for his un-sporting behavior, when Dhoni was smashing his bowlers with sixes? Not only was he placing un-reasonable demands infront of Dhoni and Kaif but he even mis-behaved with the field umpire, Asad Rauf. In his defense, Lara stated… There were 24 big men at the ground and they could not come to a decision. I thought the spirit of the game was not being kept. We all make mistakes but at the end of the day we all want to uphold the spirit of the game.
