False. Vaughan criticised Mathews and Swann said it was perfectly legal.

Point is they are both in the "spirit of the game has been broken" camp when really, Sena did his bit by warning the batsman anyway. How many times do you need to warn the non striker for them to take it seriously? Here are their quotes
Swann "To be clear on this, I think the mankad is just wrong even though it's not illegal. Like cuddling your sister whilst watching a film"
Vaughan : "Totally blame the captain... He is the man who makes the decisions and should have overturned the decision... No way to play the game "

Yeah I like to think that the crowd was booing Buttler for being a nincompoop.

True, and I was about to say something about class telling and then he gives it away. Didn't see that coming at all.
It is not something I am going to get outraged about but it is just **** cricket.
You can perfectly legitimately argue that if that batsmen did not leave his crease it would never have happen and all that but it is just not something I want to watch people doing on a regular basis.

Yeah full on bollockhead. I don't listen to TMS, they are jokes.

Why is it **** cricket? Shows presence of mind from the bowler. And how is it any different from the non striker getting runout by the old straight drive flicking the bowlers finger onto the stumps dismissal? Both punish the non striker for backing up too far.
Tbf, I do get what yoyou're saying though about how it shouldn't be a regular thing. I can just see the likes of Ashwin and Ajmal using a pause in their delivery stride to dummy the non striker into a Mankad.
