Uhh... okay.I don't want non-strikers trying what Buttler did every third ball.

These words 'normal' 'excessive' are meaningless. He must be out if he's even one centimeter away from the crease. When an umpire calls a no-ball for overstepping, the bowler can't say 'o this was just normal overstepping; this was not excessive overstepping; i was not trying to gain unfair advantage.' Do you think any overstepping no-balls are bowled with the specific aim of gaining a few inches unfair advantage? The intention does not matter, the action does. If you over-step when bowling the ball, it's a no-ball. If you leave the crease before the ball is bowled, willingly or unwillingly, you can get out. The law does not talk about 'will'.What Buttler did everyone already does almost every ball. He was just backing up normally, not doing anything outrageous. I'm not convinced that a lot of the people defending Ashwin here have actually even seen the footage.
Buttler wasn't backing up excessively, Ashwin pretended to be bowling it but instead stopped and waited for buttler to walk out then ran him out. I'm all for stopping batsmen sneaking an advantage between the wickets but this was not an example of that.
Irrelevant, if what Daemon posted is accurate then he wasn't actually out by any margin per the rules. The more we discuss this the more it just looks like straight up cheating and very poor umpiring.These words 'normal' 'excessive' are meaningless.

If the wicket keeper waits for the batsman to assume the ball is dead, then stumps him, then yes most people would mind.I have seen the footage before posting here. Yes Ashwin had to pretend bowling and stop - those are key ingredients of Mankading, and there's nothing wrong with waiting. You don't mind wicketkeeper waiting before stumping the batsman out do you?
So now, Buttler assumed the ball was dead? lol. Is that why he was looking to run?If the wicket keeper waits for the batsman to assume the ball is dead, then stumps him, then yes most people would mind.
Cheating, no. Poor umpiring, yes.Irrelevant, if what Daemon posted is accurate then he wasn't actually out by any margin per the rules. The more we discuss this the more it just looks like straight up cheating and very poor umpiring.
Buttler could fairly assume the ball to have left Ashwin's hand by then.So now, Buttler assumed the ball was dead? lol. Is that why he was looking to run?
Ashwin didn't release the ball, batsmen is only allowed to leave his crease when ball has been released. Butler was lazy assuming ashwin would be releasing and not watching the bowler.Problem is blaming the batsmen is illogical in this specific incident since Butler hadn't even advanced past the crease by the time that the ball would have been released. It's relevant in legitimate examples, but Ashwin literally had to wait for him to actually go past the line because conventionally he wasn't out.
Why does he need to assume anything? Is he blind?Buttler could fairly assume the ball to have left Ashwin's hand by then.
I still wouldn't say Ashwin "did nothing wrong". Maybe he didn't knowingly & deliberately break any rules but then neither did Greg Chappell or Douglas Jardine, and I think most people would say they did something wrong.Have come to the conclusion that Ashwin did nothing wrong. It was merely an umpiring error.
ffs give it up. Have you never played or watch cricket before? The non striker doesn't watch the ball right out of the bowler's hand, like, ever.Why does he need to assume anything? Is he blind?
toucheFair play to Ashwin, has reminded me that the IPL exists.
a revolution of logic and rationalityHow can so many be defending Ashwin here?
Yes. Can't get any simpler than that.“The message to the non-striker is very clear – if you do not want to risk being run out, stay within your ground until the bowler has released the ball.”
Well Mankading is usually because the batsman is breaking the rules. Your two examples were merely done to unfairly nullify any opposition advantage.I still wouldn't say Ashwin "did nothing wrong".

Definitely was poor umpiring though. You'd think in what was clearly going to be a controversial circumstance like that you'd make sure beyond any doubt that giving it out was the right call.

I don't see how what Mankading usually is is particularly relevant tbhWell Mankading is usually because the batsman is breaking the rules. Your two examples were merely done to unfairly nullify any opposition advantage.
