Scylo posted:Why was he given out if he was in his crease Because the third umpire didn't apply the law correctly - which is unsurprising because it's an edge case, but given the amount of time they take already I'd have googled the Mankad law.

In fairness to Buttler i think any batsman who plays any significant amount of international cricket gets conditioned to backup by timing rather than watching the bowler. Due to the added pressures of drs its important to see where the ball pitches from the non-strikers end. Batsmen do take liberties with backing up and mankading should be fine but in this specific case i really do feel that it should have been dead ball based on my interpretation of the rules

I find it funny we call it backing-up when it's about going forward.

I feel dirty posting IPL content but this from requiring 23 off 20, this is maybe the most impressive batting collapse I've seen in some time. Hat-trick for Sam Curran too.

Another top effort from Kohli today: farts around for 16 overs, almost exclusively hitting singles, hits an 18-year old legspinner for 19 in the 17th over. Then, just as the commentators have started fellating his ego, he clubs a Rabada ball straight down the ground and is caught. It's like he spent all those years watching Dhoni and came to the exact opposite conclusion to any one with a brain.

What happens if the batsman hits the ball and it knocks over the wicket on the other side of the pitch?

Lladre posted:What happens if the batsman hits the ball and it knocks over the wicket on the other side of the pitch? Nothing (except the batsman usually being annoyed because he loses out on a run or two). But if the bowler manages to touch the ball, and the non-striking batsman is out of his crease, then he would be run out, however.

Dhoni just walked onto the pitch and flounced up to the umpires to complain about a No Ball not being given (on height), despite having got out a couple of balls before. What a oval office. They should ban him, but it's the IPL, so fat chance of that happening.
