We are all programmed from childhood in different ways. What I personally deem to be the right code to live by is obviously not that followed by these profesional sportsmen and their supporters whose attitude seems to be win at any cost no matter how many millions of people are aware of the route followed to achieve that end.
As regards individual sports such as golf I have a hazy recollection of some controversy surrounding the actions of Colin Montgomery in an important match, the details of which escape me at this time.
Many late night snooker matches were enlivened by a player drawing the referees attention to an unseen foul commited by him, that was true sportsmanship in my book.
If cricketers are afraid of the adverse opinions of their fellow teammates this is a sad reflection on the moral compass of the whole team and of the supporters who encourage such actions.
