I believe and I might be wrong that to run a player out at the non strikers end (ie mankad them) one has to break the stumps BEFORE entering the delivery stride. Stokes is breaking the stumps after he enters his delivery stride so it wouldn't be eligible for a mankad.

Basically the rules is designed to stop blatant cheating from the batsman backing up. To be out of your ground before the bowlers enters his delivery stride is taking the piss.

Cheers mate

Thats not quiet right, your bowling arm must compete one revolution so you have to be in your delivery stride.

You cant just reach out and break the stumps.

What are we since Bailey departed? 2/220ish?

5/97 to 7/325 now


We need to find two more quality batsman in our top 6 and we can become no1

Bailey is not up to it, and one of either rogers (getting on) or Watson (too inconsistent)

I like Chris Lynn, one of the better FC averages, seems to have a lot of steel about him.
Not sure how Doolan will go
