Ultimate_Game Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Where does it say that he was warned before he was run out. Don't understand why "warning" someone is so important when the dismissal is clearly stated in the rule book and was just recently re-introduced :dontknow: Do the bowlers ask the batsmen to bat on if bowled saying they didn't warn the batsman they could be out bowled, or do we warn batsmen before stumping, run-out or caught out dismissals? Backing up too far is just another mode of dismissal, and in fact is a run out. The ball is "live" as soon as the bowler starts his run-up and the batsman has to be in his crease at all times so as not to get run out. What is so difficult about this rule and why should a professional sportsperson be "warned" or reminded about it? If a batsman can be given out obstructed the field, which is much more iffy IMO, then why not for backing up too far where the batsman's clearly trying to gain an unfair advantage over the fielding team, especiall n the shorter formats where even an extra run can make the difference.
yoda Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 ^ If he was warned before, then we shouldnt have withdrawn the appeal. But Im pretty sure if an Indian player was at the receiving end of such a dismissal, the reaction would have been very different. Yes there are some who show clear double standards when it comes to Indian players, but you are generalizing there.

But Im pretty sure if an Indian player was at the receiving end of such a dismissal, the reaction would have been very different. If Virat Kohli was at the receiving end of such an appeal, all the fans would have uttered MC-BCs in sync with Virat till the end of time. :giggle:
The Outsider Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 You need to be a great Indian all rounder to "Mankad", someone like Mankad or Kapil Dev. Unfortunately, Ashwin does not fit the qualifications for the job yet.
saneindian Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Jayawardene says he wouldn't have appealed. has to be the biggest joke of the year. Someone who jumps up and down for non existent edges , argues with the umpire even if a ball pitches outside leg and there is a LBW appeal, trying to come across as a saint.

Maybe the same way Ponting wanted to have an agreement with Kumble regarding taking fielder's word for catches and we all saw what happened when Aussies were claiming bump balls :cantstop:

The Dark Horse Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 We were made fools by this fairplay thing first with the ian bell runout in england and now this...clearly it shows the lack of professionalism
Ultimate_Game Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 We were made fools by this fairplay thing first with the ian bell runout in england and now this...clearly it shows the lack of professionalism Well as the saying goes "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me". Looks like we deserve to be fools for being magnanimous against the likes of "let's bowl a no-ball to deny batsman a 100" Dilshan and "yipee, the ref didn't hear it so I can say I called heads" Sangakkara.
VRV Singh Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This should not be controversial any more. Did not see it, but if the umps are basically asking fielding team to withdraw the appeal rather than give it out then that is disappointing. They are to enforce the rules. Captain can be Mother Teresa if he wants. It isn't fair that someone is sharp enough to know this new ruling but doesn't get his dues. One of the other bowlers should have done him in again tho.
Deleted_User_1 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 You need to be ruthless at times like this when he was warned before. Sadly India does not have the balls!
jairamesh Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Neverthless provides a good excuse for the shellaking we got from Sri Lanka today. It provides comfort in the loss. But this also shows where certain players and teams moral compass lies regarding "spirit of the game" is: England: Nil Sri Lanka: Nil Australia: Big Nil Anyone have other examples where teams have blatantly flogged their hairy arses at the spirit of game?
mastana Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Abey out kar diya hota toh India ki poori team isi ishtyle mein 25 runs ke andar all out hoke dressing room mein apne kulhe garam kar rahi hoti aisa darr laga hoga Sehwag ko.

dragonfly Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 In the next match againat Ravanas Indian batsmen should purposely stand 3 feet ahead of the non-striker crease. Ravanas can then respond appropriately.

Raghav_12 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 SriLankans are least worthy of being provided any kind of generousness under cover of "spirit of cricket". Their captain Sangakara openly asked Randiv to do a no-ball to deny Sehwag a century and nobody from SriLankan board did anything to punish Sangakara, not even mild reprimand. Sangakara again cheated during world cup toss. They should have been last team to withdraw that appeal against. They were dealt in just manner when McCullum had run Murali out while he was coming to congratulate Sangakkara on his century.
