law 42.15 clearly says it's a legitimate dismissal. so, dismissing a batter this way is well within the laws of the game, provided the bowler hasn't entered his delivery stride(as i read on the mcc site)..and that's how senanayake got rid of butler, before entering the delivery stride . note that, senanayake had indeed warned butler earlier of the same (which the umpire rightly signaled a dead ball) ..the batsman backing up too far is also against the spirit of the game.

i'm personally satisfied with the laws that give bowlers some advantage in this game that over the years has tilted largely in favor of the batsman.

So, IF the batsman can be stumped by the wicketkeeper being out of his crease in the action of play, likewise it should also become acceptable for the batsman to get run out at the bowler's end when he's found out of the crease!

The bowler was right
by ajay bhathire on Jun 06, 2014 01:10 AM

When batsmen talks about sportsmanship , he is the first person in violating that in this case. When he knows that, the bowler is well within the rules to run him out, and he thinks that he is entitled to just a warning due to the so-called sportsmanship behaviour. He will keep on commiting the same behaviour till the bowler warns him or he will keep on doing it since he will think that, he is only entitled to a warning due to the "sportsmanship behaviour".

The mistake is comitted by the batsmen. But when the bowler runs him out, he is blamed. This is a clear case where the offended is punished instead of the offender
I would say that he neednt have given the warning in the first place. Cricket rules clearly state that the batsmen can be run-out in this circumstances, irrespective of whether a warning has been issued earlier.

Serves him right. If after two warnings, Butler has tried to steal runs, he or ENgland has no cause for complain. Would the same hullah been generated if a Lankan batsman was Mankaded after two warnings. The answer is no.

If the law says he is out, the batsman has to go,that's it. No debate is required in this matter

What's the issue?
by adam smith on Jun 05, 2014 02:29 PM

If ‘Mankading’ is a legitimate dismissal then why the issue? The losing team will always talk of the ‘spirit of the game’. When any batsman backs up, even after being warned a couple of times, is THAT backing up in the spirit of the game?

…and Mr. Alastair Cook, it was not the Sri Lankans who crossed the line, the line was crossed when your batsman kept on backing up even after being warned twice. Accept your batsman’s error of judgment like a man.
