Do the same rules of "sportsmanship"/cricketing spirit apply in T20s as they do in Tests - especially given the fact that one of the chief attributes of the former is sensationalist entertainment? Is it out of place in a form of the game which seems to exaggerate emotions? I found Nasir's mastani to be highly enjoyable to watch and reflective of his desire to win the game. Yes, it ultimately didn't pay off - but while people might not remember RR's exact margin of defeat by the end of the BPL, they'll remember Nasir's antics.
