’Mankad’ing

`MANKADED' EXPLAINED

The Times of India Feb 03 2016

When the batsman at the nonstriker's end has left his crease before the ball has been released and the bowler removes the bails, the batsman is said to have been “Mankaded“. Ethically, the bowler should warn the batsman at least once before effecting such a run out.

The term was first coined when Vinoo Mankad ran Bill Brown out in the Sydney Test in 1947-48. The dismissal got extensive coverage in the Australian press, with Mankad being accused of unsportsmanlike behaviour.Despite this, Don Bradman, the then captain of Australia, defended Mankad, saying that he had warned the batsman leading up to the event.

FAMOUS PAST INCIDENTS

Courtney Walsh let Saleem Jaffar off with a warning in the last over of a 1987 World Cup match in Lahore. Pakistan's last pair was at the wicket and they needed four off the last over when Walsh refused the run-out that would have sealed the match. Pakistan knocked off the runs, costing the Windies a potential semifinal spot. After a number of warnings were given to Peter Kirsten during India's tour of South Africa in 199293, Kapil Dev ran the South African out at the non-striker's end. This was the last such dismissal in international cricket.

OTHER INCIDENTS

Ian Redpath by Charlie Griffith in Adelaide, 1968-69; Brian Luckhurst by Greg Chappell in Melbourne, 1974-75; Derek Randall by Ewan Chatfield in Christchurch, 1977-78; Sikander Bakht by Alan Hurst in Perth, 1978-79; Grant Flower by Dipak Patel in Harare, 1992-93.
