I don’t care what kind of dad you were. What kind of community member you were. Whether you could play a sport. The nanosecond you decide to torch your kids and their mum you lose any relevance and legacy. Won’t even bother mentioning a name. An unperson.

If it’s an Australian batsman: He’s out. Rules are rules sorry.
If he’s an English batsman: Not out. How very dare you even suggest such a thing. He’s playing entertaining cricket and it just wouldn’t be in the spirit of the game to dismiss someone like that.
