8 most disgraceful acts in the history of Cricket

This is cricket, not kickboxing

When Australia and Pakistan met each other in 1981-82, Aussie pacer Dennis Lillee and Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad were involved in one of the ugliest on-field fights in the history of the Gentlemen's game.

Pakistan were staring down the barrel in the 1st Test at Perth when Javed Miandad came in to bat in the 2nd innings. The hometown boy Lillee was fired up and with the crowd behind him, he made sure that both Miandad and his partner Mansoor Akhtar played in a hostile atmosphere.

But the duo saw through that phase without losing their wickets.

While completing a single, Miandad collided with Lillee as the pacer was blocking the batsman’s way, something that was clearly evident in the video footage.

When the batsman was having a chat with the umpire about the incident, Lillee tried to kick Miandad and the Pakistani almost threw back the bat at Lillee. Umpires had to intervene and take control of the situation.
