Does the batsman have the option to not walk, if he did'nt nick it? Of course not - so he takes the good with the bad. 99 times out of 100, the batsman, who's rather lucritive contract relies on hin scoring runs, chooses to stay rather than put that lucritive contract at risk and walk.
The "non-walker" talking to his wife after the game. "Got a ton today dear - should keep my $500,000 contract safe for a while. Screw walking"
The"walker" talking to his wife after the game. "Was dismissed for 5 today dear. The papers are on my back now, and i might be lucky to keep my spot. We better put the house extention on hold i think. Maybe i should'nt have walked - nobody even mentioned that i did that "
