Are our cricketers made of sterner stuff than some of our footballers?

I'm sure that M. Holding the former West Indies fast bowler does know Denesh Ramdin the West Indies wicketkeepr/batsman fairly well!
Take a look at the incident on youTube. He drops the catch and as his team mates are celebrating, he rolls the ball to the square leg umpire, which a lot do when they've taken a catch as it's one of the laws/rules.

Certainly at Chelsea you'll hear references to onanism, both to the referee and to the supporters' own players.
Cricketers may be made of sterner stuff, but who knows? There's no advantaged to be gained in cricket by falling over when tackled, or pretending you have been fouled! There shouldn't be in football; 'simulation' is a yellow card offence; but players try it.

I have read none of the above because I want this untainted:
Cricket sledgeing is legendary, cricketers themselves are pretty brutal, I'd be surprised if any cricketer reacted to the crowd. Not sure why this is even a point of discussion. It works well though as an example to another more popular game.

Trigs,
Throwing the ball to the umpire is the sign that you have taken a catch, have control of the ball and are claiming it as such.
Law 32.3 states that for a fair catch to have taken place "the act of making the catch shall start from the time when a fielder first handles the ball and shall end when a fielder obtains complete control both over the ball and over his own movement.
By returning the ball directly to the umpire as he did, he is claiming a fair catch.

To summarise, Ramdin attempted to hoodwink the officials, those tasked with enforcing the rules.
Broad simply awaited their judgement.
Plenty of batsmen have had rough decisions in the past, especially those who have got a thin edge prior to an LBW appeal, only to be given out.
Bar Gilchrist, give me an example of a renowned 'walker' in the modern era?

I am not buying that, I am looking at his body language, no arms raised, no shout etc.

Indeed, he is too busy running to join the others who are celebrating his 'catch'! Unfortunately for him, the square leg umpire to whom he rolled the ball had seen what happened, as did the crowd with their gasps when they saw it on the big screen.
