Question 12(1 point)Cricket is an English game and was played by the Lords and

Roylaties in earlier times. It was more an outing on a Sunny day. It was a gentleman's game and if anybody got out, he used to walk. Players, usually from Royal background or belonging to the upper class of England, preserved their dignity and believed in playing a a fair game and never resorted to abusing, pushing, pulling or showing disrespect to any player. They also applauded a good show of the opponent and even congratulated them for taking a wicket or scoring a shot. It was normal and expected that if the umpire was unable to see something then the player would honestly reveal the facts which would affect a decision. Thus it was a perfect gentleman's game(and it still is, despite the "gamesmanship" replacing "sportsmanship" in the professional cricketers).

Thus whenever it was something unfair and having some element of injustice, it was called “_______________".
