There is nothing to gain apart from gaining respect from the cricketing community and something that many people have not heard of. Honesty. Imagine you were the batsmen and didn't walk. The bowler had produced a gem and you got a huge nick but the umpire did not give it and you never walked.
Now put yourself in the fielding teams shoes or even the bowler. You have set up a plan for around 6 overs and when it finally works the umpire gives it not out and the batsmen doesn't walk. What would you be feeling like? I bet you would be saying - Why didn't he walk?
Think about that one
