Mankad or no mankad?
I don't see why the batsmen can be stumped but the non-striker is free to move off down the pitch with seemingly impunity!
Bowlers get no-balled for creeping a millimeter past the crease!
The media are focused on the specific mankad delivery, what about the other 40 or 50 deliveries Butler was the non-striker?
The batsman is “cheating” by leaving his crease early and a run out in those circumstances shouldn’t result in an outcry.
Interestingly, apart from Warne, most former Australian Test cricketers think it is fine. The “To and Froms” are outraged
