A.DA controversial method of taking wickets in the cut is the method known as “Mankading”, which involves dismissing the batsman at the non-striker’s end. This type of runout has received official approval in recent years. The other day, a mankading that took place in the Australian T20 Big Bash League was very interesting.
The match was between Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades. Mankading was performed by Melbourne Stars captain Adam Sampa. The move was to fire Tom Roger.
Panteri and Tom Roger, who had already left the crease, blocked Sampa without completing the bowling. Usually a situation where the batter is out. Sampa also rejoiced. Tom Roger started dating.
The umpire called the first out. However, after talking to the umpire, he reversed the decision and called the non out. Everyone was surprised that they didn’t know why.
Under the Law of Cricket rules regarding mankading, the batsman was not allowed out even if he was out of the crease. The Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), which sets the rules of cricket, gave an explanation after the match.
Under the rules of cricket, ‘Mankading’ is not permitted after the bowler has completed the bowling action. A wicket can only be dismissed if it is shaken before the action is completed. The action is considered complete when the thrower’s hand reaches height. Here, Adam Zampa returns after completing his deed and shakes the shackles. That’s why the non-out was decided. That rule was introduced to prevent the bowler from confusing the bowler with bowling and dismissing the batsman.
