Somehow "Boring batsmen and improper attribution" didn't hit off that well. What the Times did was copying with barely any attribution. The others who copied gave full attribution.

While I do not agree with the practice of not mentioning the names of competing products, this is hardly anything new and is done by a lot of other publications and is the least irksome of TOI's sins.
