Vikings: Cricket is a sophisticated, and perhaps today antiquated, bat and ball game where there are a limited set of rules. Each player plays by those rules and only those rules. If an action is not covered by the rules then they do not do it, rather than doing it until someone says, "hey you can't do that" and changes the rules accordingly.

In cricket playing societies the phrase "It is not cricket" or the like are used to refer to people or actions which try to gain an advantage, not by breaking the rules but going outside the intent of the rules.

The game is enjoyable because it is played so that excellence may triumph, not deviousness.

In my opinion, and I think others, the actions descibed below and in this pond are "just not cricket".
