David Warner mumbled on the changed law regarding ‘Mankading’

Australian cricket team’s opening batter David Warner has shattered his cessation in the Mankading outbreak. Speaking on the new laws, he has termed it as the mistake of the batsmen.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) may have decriminalized the clearance of a batsman before the ball is bowled at the non-striker’s end. But Australian opener David Warner however thinks it is in the essence of the sport. There is a relevant matter but he also deems it to be the mistake of the batsman.

The MCC, the steward of cricket rules, has eliminated this dubious scenario of run out from ‘unfair play’ and sighted it in the sector of mutual run out.

“I still think that the narrative of the sport says us that this is a matter of the essence of the sport,” Warner told ahead of the second Test against Pakistan starting Saturday as PTI reports. You don’t believe players to do that.

Warner narrates, “I guess we have noticed more of this in limited overs cricket when the batsman has already moved ahead for runs. As a batsman, you should remain at your crease.”

Warner further explained, “There is no question that if you get run out like this, it is your shortcoming. You have said not to depart the crease until the ball has left the bowler’s hand. So don’t do that.”

In conventional terminology, this kind of run out called Mankading. India’s mythical all-rounder Vinoo Mankad had twofold dismissed Australian batsman Bill Brown in this manner in 1947. It only after this that mighty run outs arrived to called Mankading.
