English cricketer Brydon Carse has been under immense scrutiny after a clip of him allegedly pressing the ball with his spiked shoe during the Manchester test match went viral. The video sparked outrage among cricket fans and social media users, who saw the act as an insult to the game’s spirit and ethics.
Many users labeled the move as a direct breach of cricketing rules and urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) to act swiftly and impose appropriate penalties. The outrage wasn’t limited to fans; several analysts also questioned why such incidents continue to be ignored when certain nations are involved.

Critics pointed out that while the English cricket team is often vocal about the conduct of other players, such blatant acts within their squad show a pattern of double standards. The fact that this act occurred publicly only added fuel to the fire, reinforcing the belief that England’s moral policing often lacks introspection.
What remains to be seen is whether the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will hold its own accountable. With its busy and protected image, many doubt the board will bother addressing the incident or disciplining Carse. Still, calls for fairness and consistency in cricket continue to grow louder.
