Even a terrorist can justify his attack by using any logic Terrorism vs Mandkading comparison isnt apples to apples either. Terrorism for any so called cause is illegal. Mankading isn't illegal. More bowlers should start doing this to keep batsmen in check. It's an eyesore to watch batsmen plundering runs at will with the bowlers reduced to ball boy status.

vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Having said all that it is freaking amusing to see international players wandering off the crease casually for decades. It has become a normalized thing. Wandering off. Your bat or your body should be inside the crease until the ball is bowled. It is against the spirit of the game you are completely out of the crease at the time of the delivery. I am pretty sure all players are guilty of it. This has to stop. Even Ashwin might have done it. Who knows. Have you guys done that? I have never done that. I am a strict rule follower. I find it shocking to see players at this level do this. A bit like how Sehwag running without stretching.

Yes, batsmen have been stealing runs against the spirit of the game for too long now..Keep the feckers in check with more Mankading/Ashwining.

Since the day when Walsh let Salim jaffer go with warning (a match they ended up losing and couldn't make it to semi because of that) this act of not mankading is considered some "Nobel peace prize" awardsque act by all sundries. This is 100% cricket law. There should ideally be no hazy area. Technically it doesn't matter if he is only 1 inch out or 5 yards out. It is all the same. How hard it is to keep the bat in if not the whole body until he releases. You will still have enough time especially with a spinner bowling to have a head start.

Real McCoy Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) IMO what Ashwin did was wrong not because of Mankading but because he stopped and waited till Buttler moved. And its also a good thing to warn a batsman once before doing the mankading. Having said that Buttler has moved out of the crease on several occasions. He was also mankaded by SL player once. So he is not innocent either. He may be innocent in yesterday's match. PS - Lady Jaya who was the captain who didn't withdraw his appeal for the Buttler mankading. Its ironic that he was the one who talked about spirit of cricket when Thrimmane was mankaded after warning by Ashwin. I'm seeing SLans crying about this incident on twitter. All I could say to them and lady jaya is Edited March 26, 2019 by Real McCoy Unstable Joe and Gollum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I could say to them and lady jaya is Umpire gave him out. He could delay all he wants. he could dance for few minutes and come back. But as long as ball is in his hand he should not leave the crease. It is a simple law. He didn't use sand paper or bend 15 degree more or claimed bumped ball. flamy and Gollum 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvvslaxman Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Srilankans should stop whining. I remember them bowling a noball when sehwag or someone was about to get a 100 then the toss fiasco in 2011 world cup final. Not to mention the series of chuckers they unleashed.

express bowling Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 1. If it is against the spirit of the game then why do the laws allow such a dismissal ? Blame the law and the people allowing such a law to exist then and not the people using it to get a dismissal. 2. What about the batsman advancing out of the crease before the ball is bowled ! Is it not against the spirit of the game ? In a nutshell ... allow only such laws which are in the spirit of the game .

CoverDrive Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 100% behind Ashwin in this. Genius move and won the game for his team. With batsmen getting all the advantages in the game bowlers need to find new ways to get them out. This is a legit strategy in baseball. How is this any more against the spirit of game than short pitch bowling or switch hit. flamy and nevada 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Right or wrong, Ashwin has fired up the IPL. Great start to the tournament.

That was a tight over and Butler mooved out every ball, its on ball 6 Ash gunned down Butler. He should have broken the stumps in ball 1 itself. If prople have problem, They should go back and Ask ICC to bring in warning clause, which ICC itself removed Edited March 26, 2019 by mishra express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedheat Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 This game is already ridiculously bias in favour of batsman. I don't see similar furor on switch hits, legside wide and those ridiculous inside edge fours. What ashwin did was legit within the rules of the game irrespective of the manner with which he did. express bowling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
