The Mankad

[RossTaylorsBox]

It's smarter to do Mankads late in the game as a surprise weapon to get out a set batter when the game hinges on every ball.

He is an idiot.

I've totally changed my mind about the mankad, think they're actually a great idea.
Only thing is if they fail to work, there's a 50 run penalty, and a $10,000 fine for wasting everyone's time. Bring it on!

Why stop there? I think involuntary sterilization on a bowler's failed attempt could really put some balls on the line.

Genius ambiguity from HB

The non striker is allowed one full blooded swing of the bat at the bowlers nuts per failed attempt

So the MCC Clarification on the Zampa incident sheds new light on the wording.

All this time I interpreted this to mean that if the batter left the crease at any point before the ball was expected to be bowled, that they could be runout. At what point the bowler aborts their action to execute this was immaterial. This was fairly easy to enforce as well - you watch the popping crease as the bowler runs in for both the front foot no-ball and the non striker, and once the ball is about to be bowled you can look up. If the stumps are then broken by the bowler, you make a decision based on what you saw earlier. Clean cut.

But this clarification means that the window of opportunity to run a non-striker out is only until the moment that the ball can be released. Once that moment has passed, the run out cannot be executed, even if the batter was miles out of their crease.

Zampa needs lessons from Ashwin.

just signed on with Rajasthan Royals so he'll definitely learn plenty

There's got to be some level of science to the fact every player I've ever seen effect a Mankad is a giant ****wit. Zampa a notable and worthy addition

Zampa did not effect the run out.

And I think the ones who got done have been bigger shitwits. As well as most of Aus-Eng-NZ cricket twitter.

Are left arm wrist spinners chinamen still to some fat ass dogs?

Neither of those, left arm unorthodox all the way

if you are like me, and think it’s cool and good to mankad rather than some cowardly act of poor sportsmanship… then it should be apparent it’s an honour to have that named after oneself

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

That's right

In white ball cricket towards the end of the innings, you could probably Mankad the non striker every other ball.
