ah the mankad, guaranteed to get people frothy for no apparent reason.
There was one over night in the IPL, and of course people are weighing in. Warnie, professional flog for hire, is of course outraged that someone would go against the spirit of the game like that. Warnie. Spirit of the game. fuck off you flog.
Of course there is support each way, but it's mainly outrage.
If you don't want to get mankaded, don't fucking back up too far, it's pretty fucking easy isn't it?

I'm all for a Mankad, but I didn't think Buttler had backed up too far. If hte bowler had delivered, his bat would have been in the crease when the ball let go... so if I'm TMO, I'm giving that 'dead ball not out'

and i am more than happy for that argument to be made. But to just dismiss as "against the spirit" is fucking stupid IMO.

Meanwhile, on a concrete road bed, the Aussies have reeled off two wins against Pakistan.
Finch scored back to back centuries. Always liked that g-

Fuck Finch. Fat bastard is a specialist Captain who takes the odd catch at this point.
Forget I spoke.

Mankading is a funny one. Despite the outrage that always comes with it, I don't have a problem with it. The non striker should keep their ground.
Interestingly, it's not the first time that Buttler has been dismissed this way. Last time he got a warning first and was then run out in an international vs Sri Lanka. I wonder if he has a reputation amongst players for trying it on too much?

Interesting selection coming up, you have 2 openers scoring heavily recently then along comes Davey W, back from purgatory
Not too mention the crying lesbian, first time in a long time your odi side is looking actually good -

This seems to indicate he was in his crease as the ball was delivered. I'm up for Mankad'ing, but I don't think it was on Buttler this time. Should have been dead ball I reckon
Edit: and sloppy batting from Buttler. Watch the bowler son

Bless you NTA for putting your thoughts on the line.
Actually I think Finchy deserves similar credit to Payne. Great turnaround for the one day team in 3 months, they're percolating nicely -

He was 7 from 21 early on, then he blew past The Waj in the 40s and carried his bat at 153 not off 143.

@nzzp I might be getting confused again but check out this: http://www.espncricinfo.com/
First photo is of last nights game and the oppo are in red
looks like a photoshop of Ashwin in Indian Blue overlaid with him in red in the background.
Video here, from 4 minutes. Fark the NZ Herald, I should know better than to trust it for factual shit

@Cyclops said in Other Cricket:
Just watched the video and that is all round awful cricket. Buttler's backing up wasn't offensive but he was caught napping big time, and Ashwin was totally cynical 'possibly premeditated.
Any mankad is premeditated - you see someone taking the piss and then set them up on the next delivery. Fuck him.

Obviously I haven't seen the previous balls, but that wasn't taking the piss when he was run out.
I'm in general pro mankad, but that's not a good example to be defending.

I haven't seen it either, but if a batsman at the bowler's end is out of his crease, to me he's fair game.
