A clear sign that the value of cricket has adjusted itself.
When Matthew Hayden scored the fastest world cup ton on the 24th, he hit Greame Smith for a massive straight six, was followed by a wry smile, a hug from Ricky Ponting and ready to face the next ball.
Andrew Flintoff, seriously, watch the highlights of the Kenya game, and look at the wicket he got LBW, the umpire gave him out, and Flintoff just stood there as though nothing had happened...
Is this a sign that the value of a century or that of a One Day Wicket has been devalued due to small grounds and weaker teams? Personally, if I were a Kenyan (and as a South African) I find this behaviour insulting to opposing teams....
