*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[Prince EWS]

Oh right.

I don't think anyone defending this is anti-Mankad tbh.

If anything it's kind of the other way, a few posters here think this is ****house but have zero qualms with a Mankad.

I'm kind of anti-mankad but only because of the current circumstances it seems reserved for. As I said before I'd have no qualms with it if 99%+ of them didn't happen in the last over of close ODIs.

If Smith had been mankadded in the first innings here - all good with it.

I see it’s being classed as a stumping. That’s fair enough

though now we will see shys at the stumps everytime , from now on in

it happens at lower level cricket more frequently

high time it became more high profile

 

[CartyDurham]

this could be a fun afternoon. Unlikely but we’ve seen it before

 

[Adorable Asshole]

Whatever the result, Pat's gonna get a lost of stick for this for years to come.

 

[morgieb]

Yeah, Stokes would likely take it back likely. Doesn't seem right.

Yeah think a few captains would withdraw the appeal. Whether Cummins was wrong to keep the appeal varies from person to person, but in his situation I'd want to be as uncontroversial as possible. That was always going to cause a furore.

Not if the batsman just waits 0.4 seconds til the keeper tosses the ball to slip before leaving his crease to do some gardening

 

[Qlder]

not a stumping. everything was completed, the delivery was over long time , too late to be a stumping.

Definitely a stumping

 

[halba]

either way we will know the result in about 30 mins after lunch. Stokes doesnt hang around

 

[James]

For me, whether you agree or disagree with the dismissal, it's going to create a mess now of when a ball is "actually" dead and the batsman can leave their crease without fear of this happening.
In trying to speed the game up re over rates , this certainly doesn't help.

 

[Socerer 01]

keepers have done delayed stumpings to spinners before, should they be changed to runout because everything was completed?
junk from halba as standard

He’s not here to **** spiders

noted custodian of spirit of the game Stokes who upheld the spirit in the odi world cup final? that one?

Look its a legal dismissal.

But for a spectator, getting someone out who thinks the delivery is dead seems totally cheap.

 

[Flem274*]

the run out was fine tbh. we look out for that **** in school and social cricket, because you know someone will try it on. i guess pros are shielded from the realities of guys who just want to go home and eat dinner.

Aus bowlers become helpless when someone tries to attack them in the 4th innings. I have seen this quiet some time.

 

[Shri]

reminder that this game will be over for all intents and purposes if starc held that ****ing catch off stokes

Just wait til the keeper throws the ball away. It’ll have zero impact on over rates

 

[Nintendo]

Claiming a WC win off an umpiring error is a way bigger breach of the "spirit of cricket" than the bairstow dismissal. He didn't even wait for Carey to throw the ball FFS.

 

[Prince EWS]

He’s not here to **** spiders

Yeah he's saving that activity for his 6x8 foot cell in Pentonville Road Gaol.

 

[kevinw]

I think England are too far out unless a bowler plays a cameo of substance. If they had a Woakes or Moeen it would be 50/50. Robinson can troll but the other dudes need to step up. How's Tongue with the stick?

Just got to stay in, let Stokes score the runs. If he gets out they lose anyway
