There is also one about batsmen crossing while the ball is in the air, for some reason not mentioned.

Hate mankads. Especially ones where the batsman would have been in their crease at release point only for a bowler to not let go and cheap shot them. These situations should be no-balls and a free hit.

To be fair unless the rule changed with this (I've not looked cos CBF) that's not legal.

Last I looked it has to be before the bowler would normally be expected to release the ball. I also think you can't just run up and take the bails off without ever intending to bowl but not sure.

I also hate the idea. Just ban it altogether, penalise batsmen creeping with run penalties rather than a ridiculously complex and subjective run out rule

I think you're right. Somehow I'm sure I've seen examples otherwise, but can't find any videos.

Run penalties is a good solution. Could also have a third umpire calling one short if batsman oversteps.

South Africa's red-ball players to choose IPL over Bangladesh Tests

ESPNcricinfo understands the players' decision to prefer the IPL over the two Tests was unanimous, leaving South Africa with a weakened squad

South Africa are likely to field a weakened squad for the two home Tests against Bangladesh starting March 18, with all their Test players part of various franchises choosing to go to the IPL.

ESPNcricinfo understands the players' decision to prefer the IPL over the two Tests was unanimous. Earlier this month, in what was termed by Test captain Dean Elgar as a "litmus test of loyalty", Cricket South Africa (CSA) allowed the players choose between the IPL and their Test commitments against Bangladesh.

According to an agreement between the two boards, CSA has historically provided their players with NOCs to participate in the IPL and have not organised fixtures at the same time. This year is different, with an expanded IPL and an autumn series against Bangladesh.

"The original agreement with the BCCI was that we would release our players for the IPL. But the IPL window has gotten bigger, and our agreement remains the same," an insider told ESPNcricinfo.





This means South Africa will be without their entire front-line seam attack against Bangladesh. Kagiso Rabada and Lungi Ngidi are contracted to the Punjab Kings and the Delhi Capitals, respectively, while Marco Jansen, the left-arm seamer who broke through during South Africa's victorious home series against India late last year, is set to play for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Understand the fringe players perhaps, but the established players earn a fortune

Guys like Rabada has sponsors galore, plus he has played in the IPL for a few years now and made a ton of money. His wealth is 5M.

Some are choosing $$$ over loyalty to their motherland.

Imagine if some of our top test players chose the IPL over a test series?
