[VIDEO/PICTURE] Mankad wins a game of cricket - But is that really cricket?

I bet my bottom dollar this law will not change. Getting a head start is very very easy. Only way you can stop people from doing without hurting the "spirit of the game" is by penalizing the batting side with 5 runs for every time they wander. This way both parties will be happy.

I don’t hate that suggestion. I’m all for fair play and bringing in rules to get to that state
 
Saurav said:
The game starts when bowler starts his/her run-up. The batsmen have no right to leave crease before ball is released.

Is freehit earned by batsmen due to his skill? What skill is there from bowler when he bowls a full toss and its caught etc.

The rule is already there and has been there for decades,its people who cry about 'spirit' beyond the laws.

Like I said, not here to get bogged down about specificities. My initial suggestion was to make the rules bullet proof enough so that you take the ‘spirit of the game element’ out of the game. Currently there are enough ppl stepping out of the crease that widespread mankading (which again, tiringly, is within the rules of the game) will ruin the spectacle of cricket, which incidentally is how the game makes money and survives.

As human beings the umpires can discuss an appeal with a captain if they want, but they cannot make players withdraw their appeal just because it is against the spirit of the game. They also couldn't declare the mankad as not out even if the action was delayed, unless the arm had already reached the point of release. Feel free to quote any law/playing condition that states otherwise but I'm telling you now that won't be able to find one.

Spirit is applicable only in situations where players are impeded by some external forces. Most unfortunate dismissal is batsman hitting straight back and bowler deflecting on to stumps. I have seen many cases where batsman survived that run out. Because the would not have backed up too much. In this case this girl would have been at the center of the pitch in such a scenario.

Just to be clear, this game was a dead rubber and India won the series already. I don't support this mankading but lol at using cheap tactics to be successful. Indian cricket (men & women) in a perfect state with no issues at all.

I support mankading but this was cheap tactics. I said Indian folks not Indian cricket. Learn to comprehend.

Regardless of what you say, the MCC have made it clear previously that deliberately delaying/pausing in your bowling action so that a player leaves their crease and you can mankad them is against the spirit of the game.
 
Proud to be an Indian cricket fan. I live in South Africa but feel very proud to see the Indian cricketers and fans supporting what is completely right and goes within the rules of the cricket.

Trying to discourage any unfair advantage taken by opposition is a right thing and there is nothing wrong in supporting that. Encouraging it is a false action though :ab :inti
 
Charlie Dean maybe stealing some inches on Previous deliveries but that doesn't change the fact mankad was intentionally done to win the match as it was last wicket of the match.

Deepti sharma delayed her ball release to create opportunity and chose to win the game by mankading out Charlie dean instead of trusting her own ability to take last wicket with the ball which imo is a bad advert for the game of cricket.

Maybe India wanted to win at any cost as it was last match for one of their team mate so they resorted to this trick out of fear of failure.

A Wicket falling without ball being bowled is just unacceptable for the game of cricket in today's day and age.

So Spirit of cricket discussions are point less if MCC is not willing to take a stand. Imo just like underarm bowling mankad should be scrapped from the game altogether. Teams and players should protest against it instead of debating right or wrong as no matter how many spirit of cricket lectures they give, in moment of weakness when match is on the line there will always be some players and teams who will perform mankad like that tragic mankad of ngarava by keemo Paul in 2016 U19 worldcup when zim u19 needed 3 runs from 6 balls.

It's MCC's job to find solution now otherwise it will continue to get ugly if more teams start adopting this as wicket taking tactic in crucial situations of the match.

Adding to this, anti-Indians can cry all they want but we will continue encouraging this and support this as this means we are discouraging unfair advantage taken by batsman.

Your first line is giving okay to someone who is doing illegal and also violating the spirit of the game. Quiet a paradox here.

My biggest question here is why is gaining few inches of advantage is not violating the spirit but this is violating. Not the first time this has happened. Won't be the last time. Every time it happens to an English batsman noise will be louder. Cricket has become a highly professional sport now. Highly competitive now. SLedging itself is against spirit of the game if you strictly go by it.

Leaving your crease before the ball is released could be considered against the spirit of the game, but there's nothing illegal about it.
 
Social media is filled with our fellow Indians trying to target the minorities and giving death and rape threats. Most of our men are incels. This comes as no surprise

Most of us love these cheap goals

If you think from a neutral perspective, gaining unfair advantage is definitely violating the spirit. However, since this is a subjective argument so people will take sides based on what suits their agenda even though deep down they know they are not being neutral.

Spirit of the game is applied only in situations where unavoidable external forces interfering with the player. External force may be another player or sudden injury. If a batsman slips with no injury in his run up he still gets run out which is fine. Acceptable.

Herre you go Inzamam was run out by Steve Harmsion. It is accepted in cricket. I think this law is removed this year.

https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/inzamam-surprised-by-run-out-ruling-226700

There was once when Inzamam was out of the crease Rahul Dravid to run him down by targeting the stumps. Inzamam was half way down the pitch and played a perfect defensive shot of that throw lol He was given out oubstructing the field. He pled ignorance of that law.

What paradox ? In fact I acknowledged that maybe she was stealing some inches in previous balls but for me that doesn't validates what deepti sharma did after that.
 
Never mind that law is still in place. Because he hit the ball. Momentum carried forward. Harmison threw at the stumps something all bowlers do. Most recently in Indian domestic Venky Iyer got hit flush on his neck and carried out in a stretcher. Then that Shaheen Afridi incident. It is perfectly allowed to run someone out if you think he is out of the crease.

There ends the story. Everything else doesn't matter. She was violating the cricket laws. Penalized. End of story. On top of the violation displayed extremely poor game awareness. Many batsman have survived mankading atetmpt as they were able to back track. Even the unfortunate run out many have survived.
 
Saurav said:

Because it is not the umpires job to pressure players to withdraw an appeal. They're primarily there to uphold the laws, not to officiate on the spirit of the game. The mankad was legal.
 
Will see the reaction of my fellow Indian fans when it happens against one of our player in an important match. Most probably the guys who are ok with it now will start crying then and try to prove how these two incidents are different. Bookmarked. :inti
 
India have always been the biggest moaners in cricket, they act all incensed when things happen to them, but the other way around they always take the moral high ground!
 
Someone correctly said "Spirit of the game is the nonsense invented by the English to hide their incompetence on the field."

If the india girls had premeditated as most claim they obviosly must have had a reason . The reason was they saw Dean repeatedly again and again take advantage of yards in a close game where every run mattered.

Rule should be simple and same for all cricketing teams. Only after the ball has left the hand of bowler can the non striker leave the crease. If they leave the crease before the ball is released they can be taken out. As simple as that.

If a personA kills a personB who is a known rapist or murderer, is personA not punished under the law because of spirit of humanity or spirit of fairness or spirit of doing fair thing etc etc. A law broken is a law broken and deserves to be punished....in crickets case mankaded

In my opinion, the batter had absolutely no intention to cheat or take unfair advantage.
If the batter does it intentionally then mankad is an excellent way to curb the issue.

I have always said that there should be one warning for the ENTIRE batting team if any of their batter tries to cheat this way.

This was totally classless by the bowler.
Should’ve asked the umpire to issue a warning and had let the batter bat.

Years ago, Imran Khan overturned the umpire’s decision and asked Srikanth to bat again when was given out but not happy with the umpire’s decision.

That’s what you call a brave man displaying his class.

If the practice of mankading doesn't sit well with the authorities then they ought to ban it just as they did with Bodyline back in the day. If not , then it's perfectly lawful and invoking spirit of the game everytime your team is losing is simple laziness and nothing more.
Btw didn't see the English fans up in arms a few years back when they won the world cup on account of some ridiculous technicality that robbed NZ off the win. Where was spirit of the game then?
Click to expand...

“Every time” is a gross exaggeration for something that happened once or twice. Let’s not lean on the hyperbole.

NZ were not robbed. The scores were tied after the 50 overs and then after the super over. The tournament rules were agreed by every international board. A more natural criterion would have been wickets lost in case of a tied score and no super over, but the boards didn’t agree to this.
 
It's good to see India leading the way with the Mankad revolution. Other teams will have no choice but to follow suit lest they be disadvantaged.
Let us see how principled England are or whether they'll cave in and resort to an eye for an eye, & start mankading India.

The old way of deciding knockouts on a tie was tournament head-to-head record. Eng hammered NZ in the group stage. There you have it.

So boards didn't agree to the rule that says that the batters can be run out if they backup too far before the ball is released?
 
Mamoon said:
I generally support Mankading. Run outs are a game of inches and there is no reason why the non-striker should be allowed to leave the crease before the delivery is bowled. It means that the batter has less distance to cover.

In fact, the non-striker leaving the crease before the delivery is bowled should be frowned upon and reminded and highlighted as a violation of spirit of cricket.

However, in this particular situation, the Mankading was in poor taste. The non-striker’s bat was behind the line when the ball entered the delivery stride. It looked preplanned by the bowler, perhaps because the batsmen had backed out too much previously.

Only because they are indians and unfortunately they don't know how to play the game in a good manner.
 
Not sure at what point this picture was taken but food for thought for those who think running out non-striker is ok for the game.

Why is it okay to take a headstart when law clearly states it isn't

Warning was not needed anyway. Batter left the crease multiple times. See the first tweet thread.

Have I said a warning is needed?

I am just asking when did they warn her? It looks like Dipti Sharma is a big liar. Going home and in front of her people she thought it's fine to lie in hindi.

If it is indeed a lie and they haven't not warned her, then it's disgusting attitude from Sharma that even she feels a warning was needed and now trying to cover up.

Let's see if any Indian fan can prove the warning here or otherwise she is a liar.
 
Indian women's cricketer Deepti Sharma's run out of England's Charlie Dean, that sealed India's win in the third ODI at Lord's on Saturday, has divided the cricket world. Deepti ran Charlie out at the non-striker's end as she was backing up. Some say it was against the spirit of cricket while others are saying that what the Indian cricketer was doing was well within the rules. The centre of all the debate - Deepti - has now revealed that prior warning was given to the England batter before she was finally run out for backing up.

"It was our plan because she was leaving the crease repeatedly. We have even warned her. So, whatever we did was according to the rules and regulations," Deepti Sharma said. "We had told the umpires too. But she was still doing it, so we had no other option."

The Marylebone Cricket Club -- the custodians of the laws of cricket - came out with a statement yet again clarifying their stance on the subject. The MCC had earlier this year moved the mode of dismissal from the 'unfair play' section of their laws to the 'run out' section, and the ICC is set to also adopt that change from October 1.

"MCC this year announced amendments to the laws of cricket to move being run out at the non-striker's end, from law 41 unfair play, to law 38 run out," the statement stated.

The third ODI was also pace great Jhulan Goswami's last international match. "Every team wants to win. We wanted to give her good farewell by winning the game. Ss a team, whatever effort we could put, we gave," Deepti said.

"This is historic. For the first time we beat England in England. We won the series 3-0 and Jhulan di had a great role to play in it. It was her final match," she added. "We will miss her on the field. We will follow her dedication on the field."

Are you using your brain buddy?
Deepti has just openly declared that she warned the batsman and also the umpire, if she didn't then the reply should come from the non striker.

Do you want her to post voice recording?
What are you on about?
Really?
 
This is the Indian era.

Here all cricketing nations and all cricket laws will be run by India and BCCI.

Adapt or Perish.
 
Pretty sure the likes of Ashwin and Deepti didn’t grow up playing gali cricket looking to get the non striker out by mankad.

It’s not how the game should be played.

Trevor Chappell’s Underarm ball was legal but frowned upon, but most people who don’t have a problem with mankading would’ve had a problem with the underarm ball.

Knight refutes India bowler Sharma's 'Mankad' warnings claim
Injured England skipper Heather Knight has accused India bowler Deepti Sharma of 'lying' over 'Mankad' warnings claim.
 
On Saturday, the third and final ODI between India women and England women came to an controversial end after all-rounder Deepti Sharma ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker end as the batter was backing up too far ahead when the ball was about to be released. This helped India defeat England by 16 runs in the third and final ODI to clinch the series 3-0. On Monday, after reaching India, Deepti revealed that her side gave warnings to Dean, but when they saw her still venturing out of her crease, they decided to run her out.

"It was our plan because she was leaving the crease repeatedly. We have even warned her. So, whatever we did was according to the rules and regulations," Deepti Sharma said.

"We had told the umpires too. But she was still doing it, so we had no other option," she added.

However, England's designated captain Heather Knight, who missed the series, said that Team India did not give any warnings and they should not be "lying".

"The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately. India were deserved winners of the match and the series. But no warnings were given. They don't need to be given, so it hasn't made the dismissal any less legitimate," she said in a tweet.

In another tweet, she said: "But if they're comfortable with the decision to affect the run out, India shouldn't feel the need to justify it by lying about warnings."

The Marylebone Cricket Club -- the custodians of the laws of cricket - came out with a statement yet again clarifying their stance on the subject. The MCC had earlier this year moved the mode of dismissal from the 'unfair play' section of their laws to the 'run out' section, and the ICC is set to also adopt that change from October 1.

It is not wrong. I totally support her for doing that. I will totally support if a Pakistan bowler does that too. Power to backing up run outs. At the highest level violation of a law should be treated with utmost serverity.

True.

I don't know how come people defend this practice of runners stealing unfair advantage while castigating a perfectly legal way of dismissing someone.
 
Kapil Dev on Run Out Issue

Legendary Cricketer Kapil Dev made an interesting comment on the whole Mankad incident and rule. “In a situation like this, I feel instead of intense debates every time there should be a simple rule. Deprive the batsmen of their run. It should be deemed a short run. It’s a better solution in my mind,” wrote the World Cup-winning captain in his Instagram story.
 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Why are people comparing a ball deflecting of my bat to a mankad? <a href="https://t.co/LeYEK601mP">pic.twitter.com/LeYEK601mP</a></p>— Ben Stokes (@benstokes38) <a href="https://twitter.com/benstokes38/status/1574446091763712006?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 26, 2022</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
 
Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the custodians of both laws and spirit of the game, said the umpires properly officiated the ODI between England and India women's teams. MCC, however, reminded the batters of their duties. "MCC's message to non-strikers continues to be to remain in their ground until they have seen the ball leave the bowler's hand. Then dismissals, such as the one seen yesterday, cannot happen." The MCC message, the spokesman also acknowledged, is that the debate is two-fold and not only about the bowler's act.

"Cricket is a broad church and the spirit by which it is played is no different. As custodians of the Spirit of Cricket, MCC appreciates its application is interpreted differently across the globe. Respectful debate is healthy and should continue, as where one person sees the bowler as breaching the Spirit in such examples, another will point at the non-striker gaining an unfair advantage by leaving their ground early.

Sensible talk from kapil dev. The Law itself is Ridiculously vague in it's wording that bowlers are taking advantage of it by delaying their actions/ball release to intentionally mankad out batsmen.
It is spoiling match experience imo and a bad advert for cricket. For me Wicket falling without ball being bowled is totally unacceptable for the game of cricket.

Instead of endlessly debating about it's morality, players and fans should force mcc to find solution about it.

I hope now it's clear for both of you.
Dipti Sharma is a liar, this is something any normal people could have known watching her interview.

She tought indians are lesser people, I will lie to them. They didn't lied when they were in England. She waited to be India to do it.

It is not wrong. I totally support her for doing that. I will totally support if a Pakistan bowler does that too. Power to backing up run outs. At the highest level violation of a law should be treated with utmost serverity.

It's you right.
But Dipti Sharma herself feels ashamed of what she did and has to lie to try to cover what she did.
 
I am really happy the way English captain emabrassed Sharma and called her a liar. This is what she deserves.

Cricket Joshila You are one lucky man. Stokes has answered your post himself.
Even he couldn't believe someone can write such nonsense.
