I agree,it's up to the umpire to make the decision, but if anyone wants to walk,so be it. That's his choice.

Sangakkara used to walk....

Answer 3

A true gentleman of the game

Answer 4

I care not for you or anyone else on this matter.

To stand at the crease knowing that you are out says a lot about anyone's character.

For Adam to walk (and not just once) says a lot about his courage defending and upholding the values of life itself.

This person is more of a man than you, me or anyone on this forum.

Answer 5

Gilchrist is wrong (top bloke don't get me wrong) to walk, umpires are paid to make those decisions. Batsmen must be willing to take the good with the bad, unlike Tendulkar who recently 'held up his bat' when given out LBW -replays showed he missed the ball by 6 inches.

Answer 6

This is catch 22 situation: Why do you have umpires if the batsman has to decide when he is out and when not.And , what about the innumerable times he's n't out and was wrongly given out? Isn't he entitled to some compensation?
But, I think a true gentleman and as a custodian of the spirit of the game the batsman should walk when he's nicked the ball..otherwise he's a selfish person, looking at things only from a personal perspective.
