Cricinfo - Blogs - The Surfer - Just keep walking ... or not

England's keeper Nixon is kidding himself.  This guy has played a handful of games and how is getting into the walking debate.  Hang around long enough to play in a winning side and make a difference to a poor team, then share your view of the Cricket world. 

The walk-or-don’t-walk debate that began with Michael Hussey’s insistence on leaving the decision up to the umpires has continued with Paul Nixon throwing in his two cents’ worth in The Age. Nixon says even though he’s no walker himself, it won’t stop him sledging Hussey to the hilt.

"If I feel strongly that he's nicked it and not walked I will give him a bit of stick and rightly so. The Aussies would be exactly the same if it was the other way around. I am not a walker. You get the rough with the smooth. But if you don't walk you're going to cop a bit of stick and that is fair enough."

Hussey started the discussion a few days ago in the Daily Telegraph where he explained why he’ll never give up his wicket unless the umpire gives him out. But his brother David Hussey, the Victoria batsman, also weighed in and says his brother should be more honest and walk when he knows he has hit the ball.
