Nice to see ICC discussing Bilaterial test series tomorrow.
It is so pathetic that test cricket has no meaning or context.

wow , how contentious could this be

zimbabwe need 3 off the last over with one wicket left to beat the WI and go through to the last 8 and the WI bowler mankads the non-striker off the first ball of the last over to win the game and make the quarters instead

Should be a good series”

I watched the Pakistan innings before falling asleep. Watched the highlights of the NZ innings. Agree with you, Bowden is a clown.

The ground was a joke, way too small for internationals. Boundaries were only 67m or so. The ICC needs to step in here, and have a minimum length of boundaries, set at around 80m+

I thought there was a convention that the bowler 'warned' the batsman once and then if he carried on leaving the crease you could 'mankad' him

Isn't that what happened to an England player a year or two ago.........he ignored the warning

Just seen the incident myself and I think that was an absolute disgrace.

Mankading is justified when the bowler has given the non-striker due warning and the non-striker is blatantly backing up too far.

In this incident, the bowler did not appear to give the non-striker due warning and his bat was mere centimetres over the line when the bowler ran him out.

There's no doubt in my mind that the bowler did it purely to win the match.

Disgraceful.

tend to agree.......I didn't see any 'warning' and the bat if anything was 'on the line' which of course belongs to the umpire

I wouldn't mind a few months of constant mankading........batsmen would stop leaving the crease and the problem would go away for a while until bad habits crept back in

But as things stand it was pretty disgraceful........certainly against the spirit of the game

So it is all right for batters to try to sneak an advantage but not pay the penalty if they get punished for it? Pure hypocrisy!

I'd like to see every bowler mankading batsmen for a few months until they stopped leaving the crease

but I'd like that to be as a result of some consensus amongst the teams and ICC to stamp out backing up

while the current consensus and spirit of the game dictates that a warning should be given then that's what should happen until the consensus changes

Look at the position of the bat when the stumps were broken - bearing in mind that this was the final over with Zimbabwe needing three to win - and tell me if you think the batsman was genuinely trying to "sneak an advantage".

It wasn't even mere centimetres as I suggested earlier, the bat was on the line.

And that doesn't even address the issue of why the bowler didn't warn the batsman first, which I think was solely to do with the state of the game; this whole incident probably would not have happened if the result didn't hinge on it.

I personally think the warning is the aspect of the relevant law that should be changed, in that mankading should only be permitted once the bowler has made a clear warning to both the batsman and the umpire that the batsman is backing up too far.

can you imagine the uproar if england were playing australia in a winner takes all world cup game and stuart broad mankad-ed an aussie batsman in the last over to win the game when australia only needed a couple of runs to win

I don't see why any warning is needed. In any other game if you get yourself slightly out of position you pay the consequences. A tennis player doesn't warn their opponent that they are standing a tad to far to the left before hitting a passing shot on the right. An footballer doesn't warn the full back that they have dozed off and not stepped up with the rest of the defence so playing the man onside.

Just watched the 'Mankading' and although it is in the rules , it is not in the spirit

If the batsman had been taking liberties by setting off early to try and change ones into twos, I can see the justification
As mentioned above, in this instance, he clearly wasn't.

The tone of Ian Bishop's voice clearly showed what he thought

But as we all know, what goes around comes around so no doubt the windies will get bitten on the backside soon

It's a shame as it distracted from the bowling of the fast bowler who reached 90+mph

A more apt comparison with football would be a team not giving the ball back to the opposition if that oppostion had kicked it out to let a player from the other team get treatment and directly from the re-start they score a goal.. that would be very controversial and has of course led to a replay in the past

I am ok if the mankad is justifiable just like Buttler or the Thrimanne situation with some warning.
But this was outright cheating literally no warning and the bowler did it to get a wicket to win the game.
The Batsman wasn't even out of his crease literally did everything right like the coaching manual says, I even remember this drill from my cricket days where you walk outside the crease while your bats in the line/over the line.
Batsman was unlucky if only he kept the bat just slightly over the line, but frankly speaking most batsman have the bat at the line or just short of the line.
Bhaveshgor

just for the people that haven't played cricket ever.
Every batsman is taught to start walking while the bowler is in the run up.
Batsman have a natural advantage which corresponds to your arm length since you can stand outside the crease, but of course your bat has to be at the crease or near it.

Anyone saying the batsman is cheating hasn't played any cricket before.

Absolutely disgraceful, as others have noted this was not a case of the batsman taking liberties trying to steal a run and getting caught out, his bat was on the line for ****s sake.

The statement from the WI captain is embarrassing:

Quote:
“Hetmyer, the West Indies captain, admitted his side may have contravened the spirit of the game but was delighted with his side’s victory. “Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties,” he said. “We’ve seen this in cricket before. It’s probably not in the spirit of the game, but we’re happy to have won.””

I don't often go in for Daily Mail style outrage but I really think the WI board should step in and voluntarily withdraw their team from the tournament. I can't believe that this has happened at a youth tournament of all places.

Edit the WI players read the rules as well, got the rules wrong.
Quote:
“The bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to deliberately attempt to run out the non-striker. Whether the attempt is successful or not, the ball shall not count as one of the over. If the bowler fails in an attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon possible.”

thought NZ had blown it after a great start , they were 188-2 before the end of the 25th over but after a silly runout of guptill who was flying at the time they just scraped over 300 which didn't look enough at this ground

but they have just blown away the aussie top order who are 41-6 after just 9 overs
