In Football teams run up the score every week. What about Man U winning 8-2 at home to Arsenal a year ago. They kept their best players on and their was no talk of stopping at 5-2.
You obviously do not understand the cricket sense of running up the score. I have seen teams get to a 350-400 lead with plenty of time in the match yet carry on batting and keeping the other team in the field until they are bowled out. Even setting teams over 500-550. Even though in history only 1-2 teams have chased over 400 to win.
Both teams are there to play the game until the final whistle. If a team wants to slow down then fine, if they don't then they don't have too.
Frankly if a team slowed down on us because we were too pathetic to stop them I would find that much more embarrassing.
Also, SF had a 28 point 2nd half lead on Monday and almost lost. THATS why you don't slow down
