What constitutes as being in your delivery stride in this situation? Here it appears that Senanayake finished his run up and reached the crease, but not rolled the arm over
Much like the advocates for removing the front-foot no ball rule, the idea that this rule should be removed is ridiculous - it essentially permits the batsmen to cheat and gives the bowler no means of combatting the transgression. I think it's best for the courtesy of the warning to remain, although I wouldn't consider it wholly against the spirit of the game to run out the non-striker without one - after all, it's the non-striker who opens himself up by leaving his crease. Absolutely no issue with Senanayake's actions.
In this scenario surely its more the bowler cheating in that he stops in the middle of his delivery to run out the batsman who is simply walking with him, its not like those batsmen late in a tight game who are sprinting as the bowler walks in
I'm not usually a fan of the mankad, but after two warnings it's the batsmans fault.
Anyone would think that the rules of cricket were written by Dennis Denuto
It's actually not that difficult as a non striker to leave the protection of the crease as the ball leaves the bowler's hand.In this scenario surely its more the bowler cheating in that he stops in the middle of his delivery to run out the batsman who is simply walking with him, its not like those batsmen late in a tight game who are sprinting as the bowler walks in
My undestanding of the rule is that it has to be done before he enters his delivery stride - I would argue that in this case the bowler had entered it and therefore Butler was entitled to do what he did and should have been given not out as a result.
I don't think what happened was against the spirit of the rules.
Since the original - the spirit has been you give a warning.
However the dismissal may have been against the rules. Having rewatched it - the bowlers back foot hits the ground and Butler is still within the crease.
That is the start of the delivery stride and as such the umpire was incorrect in giving him out.
However the bowler wasn't to know that and having warned the batsmen, was within his rights to appeal (both within the spirit and the rules)
The ump simply cocked up
