He is whinging, but he has a valid point, or he would have if Dennis Lillee amongst others had not gone off for a towel down on numerous occasions towards the end of his career. At one time the opposition captain could object to the placing of a substitute fielder, but the rule was changed years ago, Engand are bending, but not breaking the rules, which I suppose you could construe as ungentlemanly conduct, but then so is sledging, and we all know who are the masters at that.
