With all due respect, if that were the case, would the last 10-20 pages of this thread exist?

Yep because we’re cricket tragics

Because India is a land of more than a billion people with differing views and not a hive mind?

I don't really understand your point here. Or you didn't understand mine. At least one of these statements is true!

This forum has a vibe dude. Get on board with it. Nobody proudly calls themself a reasonable adult here

Having a vibe is no excuse for clinging on to childish behaviour.

Goes for the rest of you Spirit of Cricket lovers.

I never knew this. I wish I'd have known when I was younger. May have saved my marriage.

Okay?

How does legitimising Mankads add anything positive at all to cricket?

It's a cool strat op

 

[Xix2565]

If she allegedly had an undue advantage 70 times in that innings alone then why didn’t England win?

It’s almost as if lifting her bat off the ground a millisecond before delivery is no advantage at all

Do you actually think all the runs she completed quicker due to a headstart wasn't actually helping England? Ffs at least think a little about this.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

I wonder if this (but unironically) is actually the answer.

I was being unironic!

The striker can literally run halfway down the pitch and the bowler can’t throw them out

they can actually

Nope

Dead ball

Nope

Dead ball

suggest you read the laws more closely (or ask one of your elite panel umpiring mates)

No need

You can’t stop mid run up and peg the ball at the striker’s end in a run out attempt

Used to be a no ball, now a dead ball

Changed at same time as Mankad law

 

[mr_mister]

Tense. Cnerds reputation on the line here

 

[cnerd123]

You can still run someone out off a no ball, but yes in the October code it will be a dead ball.

social's wrong to suggest you can't do that when currently you still can.

Also they have not 'changed' the mankad law. That's always been in there Laws too, it's just being relocated. The current game was played with the current code and not the october 2022 code i think.

Advantage cnerd

Can social bring it back to deuce

Aaliyah Alleyne having another good match though she's transforming from a bowler to a batter fat

happens to a lot of people when they get fat. Bowling is too hard

Oof, that loss hurts.

So for this game Mankading was still listed in the laws under "Unfair play". Naughty girls. Six month ban for perpetrator and captain I think would be appropriate.
