Squash ball
0 But despite his great sportsmanship did Mahela speak too soon, and have all the other praise that came Gilchrist's way in the light of his batting performance been misplaced? 02 br

00 (missing image) The secret behind his tickling of his glove before the TV cameras after his whirlwind century that day begs the question. It would appear that he has squashed his own achievement with the use of a squash ball to bolster his grip on the bat in playing that day. 02 br

00 When I asked Malky Speedo of the ICC, who prefers to work slower than his name indicates, the response I got was typical. "One has to see what the Rules of the Game say about it?" "Well, what if the Rules had not even thought of Squash in Cricket?" "I'm sorry to say the matter will then have to be squashed". 02 br

00 What a typical ICC answer? One cannot say for certain whether that exceptional failure of the best of Sri Lankan bowlers to beat Adam Gilchrist as he was on that tour de force in Barbados was entirely due to the squash ball in his glove. But that does not mean the matter should get ruled out for want of a rule. 02 br

00 To me the matter is very similar to those men and women in sports who take physical enhancement drugs to bolster their performances in various sporting events. 02 br
00 Aacharya Pandu Nireekshana, who is known to be an expert on such matters, was very clear on the issue. "Some may say that if the squash ball was not ingested or injected into him, and therefore could not be considered for any enhancement effect on his play. 02 br

00 But, the fact is that from what he now declares, the squash ball was used for its enhancer effect. So, whether the Rules of the Game refer to the use of squash balls in cricket in any form or not, it would appear that he has squashed himself out of the reckoning in this matter, and is not entitled to all the glory of that squash induced batting performance. 02 br

00 Gilchrist used a sqush ball, according to the above article. When you hit the ball in cricket, how on earth one could say he used a squash ball. The batsman has no way of choosing the ball which he hits. What they want to say is Gilchrist cheated using a squash ball. 02 br
00 I can't fathom out it. 02 br
00 Some of you may tell me what this means. Of course you should understand cricket to answer this question. 0-

00 People find all the possible means to cheat in cricket. As the squash ball is small, I would not rule out the possibility of doing it. However, I am surprised about the possibilities of cheating in this manner. Ball-tampering is the interanational standard for cheating in cricket. If this is true, this will be another standard. 02 br
