Mankad

"The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the custodian of the Laws, has tweaked the Mankad rule and changed its wording over the years. In the 2017 Code, "Bowler attempting to run out non-striker before delivery" was replaced with "Non-striker leaving their ground early" in order to put the "onus on the non-striker to remain in their ground." To emphasise this point further, on April 1 2019, the MCC slightly rephrased Law 41.16 again, replacing "the bowler is permitted to run [the non-striker] out" with "the non-striker is liable to be run out." Also changed in 2017 was an important aspect of the law. Previously, the bowler was only permitted to run out a non-striker backing up before entering his delivery stride. "This meant that as the bowler's back foot landed, the non-striker could move down the wicket a considerable way before the bowler actually delivered the ball. This was considered unfair," notes the International Cricket Council Match Officials' Almanac 2017-18 (the ICC's interpretation of the Laws). The new playing condition permitted the bowler to run the batsman out "at any point before he releases the ball provided he has not completed his delivery swing."

"at any point before he releases the ball provided he has not completed his delivery swing." is much more difficult for the umpire to judge.

I wonder what happens if England return the favor on the first 10 balls when they meet again.

As an aside, I successfully completed the ACUS Umpires course in 1998, and umpired in Cheshire for about 10 years, but eventually gave it up as I got fed up of 6 hours of players needling each other, a modern trait.

 

Thinking about that, I like to try new things, that's a fair point.

 

Noninaryselfidentifyingkad.

 

Themkad would be more inclusive.

 

Silly 'b'.

 

A bit like Personchester United or Personchester City.

 

Or those personnequins you see in shop windows.

 

Personsfield Town.

 

Personumission.

 

The name Manchester originates from the Latin name Mamucium or its variant Mancunio. These names are generally thought to represent a Latinisation of an original Brittonic name. The generally accepted etymology of this name is that it comes from Brittonic *mamm- ("breast", in reference to a "breast-like hill").

 

Like This?

Affectionately known as the 'Dolly Parton' roundabout at Crow Wood(Stepps bypass) Glasgow.

 

I'll never forget Mancunio's goal at Fulham.

 

Manucho's wasn't bad either.

 

Breast? Shouldn’t that be chest as in chest feeding?

 

Giving its origins, the name Manchester should be scrapped as it is not inclusive of persons without breasts.
Chestchester would be better.

 

Titchfield could do with a rebrand. Not to mention it being upsetting to the vertically challenged…

 

This is actually spot on. Its not gaining an advantage or cheating at all.

 

Brilliant and probably true haha
