International Vice-Captain
Someone should try it against India’s best bat in a knockout game

No.
Stay in the crease. It's not hard.

Surely, either scrap the law or let people follow it fully.

Kohli has been pretty judicious about staying in the crease these days though at the non-striker’s end
It’s only at the striker’s end where he keeps meandering off all the time
Yeah, which is why "best bat" is there.

I know he’s been a dud recently but he still is our best bat on paper. Maybe I’m being harsh on Rohit though
The best Indian LOI bat is SKY.

I see the argument about the batsmen needing to adjust the timing of their backing up and I don't get it. The change from the back foot to the front foot no-ball rule caused substantial issues and arguably lead to a permanent change in the mechanics of fast bowling, yet only Ian Chappell wants to go back.
If you think it's that hard, go suck a lemon.

Usually I’m in favour of mankads. A batsman or batter trying to gain an advantage for a run is unfair and ironically not in the “spirit of the game” at all. However, the incident on Saturday was blatantly premeditated on the bowler’s part and I don’t think the batter was trying to gain an unfair advantage at all. She was in the crease when the ball was about to be released. A little naive perhaps to assume it was going to be delivered under the current laws, but certainly not cheating. Think the law needs to have a bit more nuance.

Whatever it takes!!!
She was doing it literally every ball that over and was apparently warned by the Indian players as well. So **** off that with that nonsense.

Yet funnily enough not during the dismissal, and oh I forgot how hard you are.

She was during the dismissal you idiot.

@RossTaylorsBox has got it correct. make ball in play as soon as runup starts, mankads become a legitimate dismissal but if you mismankad then count it as a no ball. especially costly in LO given you'd have a free hit to follow too.

She ended up outside by the time the bail was removed due to assuming the ball was going to be delivered as that is the essence of bowling. Naive, but wasn’t trying to gain an unfair advantage.
How is taking a wicket in any way not a deliberately premeditated act? By definition there is actual intent to, you know, take the wicket. Do you think people bowl deliveries without any thoughts at all?

Premeditated because she had no intention of bowling.
So what, we expect people to make rapid decisions and spin around like a Beyblade just to avoid premeditation?
Does that mean run outs are bad because the bowler didn't premeditate them? And are batters obliged to have the bowlers not even think about running out the non striker?
