Looks like Cricinfo staff reporters lost control on use of words in their reports. I guess they are emotionally so much biased that when the outcome of the game does not match their desire, they lose their responsibility as a journalist to apply unbiased objective judgment in explaining the match situation. That’s how they lose decency of word use in their reports. Here are some examples:
In India-Pakistan 1st Test Match Bulletin:
Four years on from the Ides of March that tormented Steve Waugh in Kolkata, India were at the receiving end of a rearguard action that is certain to go down in the annals
India’s waste of time and run-scoring opportunities had come back to deservedly kick them in the teeth
And as Chinaman quoted in another thread yesterday about Cricinfo article on ZIM-SA 2nd Test:
"So it is strangely heartening to learn that the Zimbabweans are capable of kicking poor defenceless animals when they are down. If only the South Africans could have been similarly cruel today. Sometimes, the only right thing is to put such creatures out of their misery."
