ICC lays 'Mankading' to rest

New playing conditions in force from October 1NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council's (ICC) chief executives' committee has ratified a slew of changes to the playing conditions which will come into effect from October 1, the most prominent among them being a belated attempt to destigmatize the controversial practice of 'Mankading', or running out a batter at the non-striker's end. For decades, the move, which takes its name from the legendary Vinoo Mankad's similar run out of Bill Brown during India's 1948 tour of Australia, has been considered against the 'spirit of the game' even though it is perfectly legal according to cricket's laws.

"Death Bowling Is Exposed": Stars Lash Out After Indian Bowlers' Poor Show vs Australia In First T20I

After India failed to defend a 208-run target in the first T20I against Australia, skipper Rohit Sharma did not mince his words in pinpointing the reason for the defeat. "I don't think we bowled well. 200 is a good score to defend, and we didn't take our chances in the field. It was a great effort from our batters, but bowlers were not quite there," he said after India four wicket loss. "There are things we need to look at, but it was a great game for us to understand what went wrong. We know this is a high-scoring ground. You can't relax even if you get 200. We took wickets to an extent, but they played really well. They played some extra-ordinary shots. If I was in that changing room, I would expect to chase that total. You can back yourself to defend 60 runs in the final 4 overs. We were not able to take that extra wicket."
