Example Sentence: An angry Ravichandran Ashwin asked Eoin Morgan and Tim Southee to not use “derogatory” words and lecture him on ‘Spirit of Cricket’ by taking a moral high ground after their on-field bust-up over an extra run during an IPL game. He then told Morgan and Southee that ‘Spirit of Cricket’ can’t be different strokes for different folks.
