I would do it 100% of the time without warning.
And if I were the non-striker - I will bet anyone ten thousand dollars right now you will never be able to Mankad me - because I was taught to back up properly.

I bet you never get caught speeding, too.
I played cricket for years and it was never an issue. Players knew the rules and played in accordance with them.
I'm not making this up, it actually happened. I was in a semi final, we needed 2 runs to win, 1 wicket in hand. A mate of mine bowling for the opposition (an SANFL league footballer actually but no names). As he ran in, he saw our batsman leave his ground as he was about to bowl and took the bails off. Out, we lost by one run.
He copped a bit of flak from our members, but he came up into the clubrooms for a beer. I think he was pleased to find I had no problem with it, even though we lost. I just said, "Them's the rules". Have always felt that way. Play by the rules and you'll avoid a lot of trouble.

Umpires at every level of cricket getting the decision wrong when a ball bounces over a batsmens head and it never seems to be picked up.
It’s called wide everytime when it should correctly be called a no ball. Especially important in 50 over or T20 cricket as the next delivery should always be a free hit.

A lot of limited overs competitions change their playing conditions so that law 21.10 - which sets out that balls bouncing over the head of the batter will be a no ball - is overridden by a wide when its part of the number of bouncers allowed for the over. The BBL and all ICC white ball events do for example.
This moving the off side wide line rubbish if the batsman moves, but then they’ll call leg side wides that miss the leg stump by a cm that would have hit the batsman if he didn’t move!

The stupid genuine *******s, literally everywhere right now, that are too stupid to realise they’re taking the side of a foreign owned, mega energy corporation over the best bowler in the world & Australian captain
Like * me how stupid can you be

That guy's a legend.
To me those sorts of specifics are part and parcel of the game.
I equate someone being just a few inches out of their crease as the bowler is delivering the ball - and seriously it’s a guess for most non-strikers as to when the bowler is letting go of it because you’re also concentrating on what’s happening at the other end - with a striking batsman moving his position as the bowler is in their delivery stride or charging the bowler etc.
It’s not a concerted effort to cheat

No longer being allowed to refer to left arm unorthodox as a chinaman.
People who lazily say ‘how does he take wickets’ when referring to successful Off break / LAO bowlers who don’t turn it square. Failure to acknowledge that accuracy, flight, drift and bounce/ overspin can be equally effective tools to take wickets.

Because people make a call off watching it on the TV and from 80m away on the boundary .
Totally different to facing it .
I blame the non-striker for that. He has an excellent view of where the ball was going and should be able to tell his mate it was out.
The person calling for the review is usually the striker, and let's face it, if he really knew where the ball was going, he'd have hit it.
Who says you can't?

I was kidding but I’d say it’s something like that
