India vs England women's last wkt of eng was mankaded ...what do you say ? Any comments.

I don't find anything wrong. And don't think it was against sportsman spirit. England deserves the spirit/attitude shown by Deepti and our skipper.

can you clarify a bit - what do you mean by England deserves this treatment ? any experience of bad behavior from the English women's team to our team...or just because they are generally dominating, arrogant or because they ruled us ?

Kearney goes on to write: "Being a left-arm bowler, Mankad had confided in me that Brown by leaving the popping crease and advancing forward, but outside the pitch, completely distracts him, as he is half-face on to the moving Brown when the ball leaves his hand.

"My reflective vision becomes affected and my bowling concentration suffers," Mankad had said. I had warned Brown in Sydney (in practice game) not to leave the non-striker's popping crease until the ball had left my hand, but Brown ignored the warning."

But how Kearney summed up is the crux of the debate, which refuses to die down after seven and half decade.

"Mankad explained that a right arm bowler is not similarly embarrassed by the moving non-striking batsman as when the ball leaves the hand of a right-arm bowler, he has no sight of a batter attempting to steal a march on him. Some argue that Mankad's trap is not cricket. That is ridiculous. Why not similarly claim that it is unfair for the batsman to back-up, hoping for a quick stolen run?"

The legend has it that Brown had offered to take Mankad out for a session of drinks but the Indian, who was a teetotaller had politely refused.

Vinoo Mankad didn't cheat on December 13, 1947. Deepti Sharma was equally right on September 24, 2022
