Elite ICC Umpires should not be allowed to partake in the IPL, its a conflict of interest.

ICC international cricket council can be labeled as the Indian Cheaters Council. Why would someone ask where is the international cricket council based when 90 percent of the revenue travels from India? Harbhajan Singh says they need not play in Pakistan.

Indian Players have an old habit of mankading

The batter was rightly declared out as the law stands. Law 41.16, which pertains to the “Non-striker leaving his/her ground early,” states: “If the non-striker is out of his/her ground at any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be run out.”
However, I think the law should be amended to replace the words “until the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball” by the words “until the bowler enters his/her final delivery stride”.

The law as it stands allows a bowler to hold on to the ball after the final delivery stride without releasing it, i.e. feign a delivery, in the hope of inducing the batter to leave his/her ground in order to effect the “Mankad”. This is unfair. If allowed, then this may even become routine and affect the normal flow of the game.
I’m sure the rule used to be if the bowler was in the delivery stride they couldn’t stop and break the wicket then some dimwit changed it. An appalling action and will have far-reaching consequences for the game. Win at all costs totally the wrong mentality. Schoolboys such as Ashwin’s Buttler ‘Mankad’ incident from the 2012 ODI is an example. It was always gentlemanly to give a warning. Is it the 1st Mankad at Lords? Thank goodness it was her last game good riddance!
