5 Heartwarming gestures by sportsmen on the cricket field

#4 Gracious Courtney Walsh

During a match of the 1987 World Cup in Lahore, Sir Courtney Walsh chose to lose the match instead of running out a player in an unfair manner.

Pakistan required 13 runs in the last over to win the game against mighty West Indies, Walsh had already conceded 11 runs off the first five balls, now the equation was two runs off the final ball.

Courtney Walsh stopped, backed out in his delivery stride but didn't run out the non-striker who was way ahead of the crease. Next ball, Abdul Qadir scored the desired runs to win the match for Pakistan, but the grace of Walsh remains forever.
