"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.

it's always been in the rule book ever since I played 50 years ago - should stay in your crease until the bowler's bowled - otherwise you're trying to gain extra ground and you're taking a risk of being run out - no problem - it's called stumped if you leave the crease at the other end - what is anyone moaning about it for - it's no different to cheating trying to gain extra ground - you got caught, stop blubbering about it, you're embarrassing yourself, can you imagine if Ben Stokes burst into tears if he was run out - pathetic

Thinking about that, I like to try new things, that's a fair point. :emoticon-0100-smile

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").

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

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