False equivalences.

Sport is full of seemingly illogical contradictions. Part of the spirit of cricket has been a warning before a Mankad. Mostly for minor infractions where the batsmen has only just left the crease.

I’m hardly saying you should warn a player who has sprinted halfway down haha.

If you can point out where in the spirit of cricket it says a warning should be given before a legal dismissal takes place or the batsman should be allowed to cheat without penalty I’m all ears..


You might also find there about benefit of the doubt being given to the batsman which also has never existed.

You’d hate to see the Mankad become a set play.

Give them one warning, then it’s fair game. That was the way it was growing up and it was never an issue.

Ok. I'm a bowler, I warn the batter on his first non-strike delivery he gets for the day. Now it's fair game? Seems fairly pointless to add 10 "warnings" to each batsman so that the bowling team now has permission to mankad.

I'm pro Mankad and always have been.

One warning for the side.

I think the only reason warnings are needed though is because they're so rare. If all bowlers were looking out for mankads all the time, batters would always be alert and wouldn't need a warning.

I guess my point is every ball should have a mankad attempt.

 

[Oxirane]

They could go crazy and make the non-striker call front-foot no-balls (to then be checked by third umpire), if they don't it's a fair delivery.

They will probably bring in a "mankad zone" a 1m line before the crease at each end you can't be mankaded in.

It feels like it will happen

They've already got a zone you can't be mankaded in. It's behind the crease.

 

[The Passenger]

Changing the laws to put mankad into the run-out section is good. It will normalise the dismissal and make it like stealing a base in baseball. It will take a little while but the mindset of the cricketing world will shift. Should have been done 100 years ago.

Well, fun while it lasted. Should push 200 with that start, barring a collapse.

Tuned into Kayo and Green got out very next ball

There's nothing like a subcontinent crowd. They'd dance and wave their hands if someone farted loud enough.

Having Gavaskar and Shastri on comms must be what it was like for anyone overseas having to listen to 9 before they lost the rights.

Absolutely loving it. Could hear a pin drop when Green was batting.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Hoping Inglis bats through, if only because he's spent so many matches running the drinks the last two years he needs the time.

 

[Tugga27]

Gloved the stumps early

Yep.

Surely that's a wrong decision.
