Bill Brown

Senior India wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik finds it extremely unfair that the legendary Vinoo Mankad's name is used in a negative manner for a dismissal which is absolutely legal. Mankad, in 1948 Tour of Australia, ran opposition batsman Bill Brown out at the non-striker's end. The Australian media termed it "Mankading" despite Sir Don Bradman calling the dismissal legal.

On Tuesday, the MCC issued a summary document outlining all the changes to the Laws of Cricket that will come into effect around the world from October 1 2017. Among them, one of the most important revisions is regarding 'Mankading'.

The rule is clear enough: "The bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to attempt to run out the non-striker."

Australian batsman Shaun Marsh on Tuesday became only the 16th player in the history of Test cricket to be run out on 99.

A part of West Indies cricket's golden period in the 1970s and 80s, Gordon Greenidge still watches "only Tests" as he hasn't yet warmed up to the slam bang nature of the T20 version.

Mulvantrai Himmatlal Mankad was one of those rare cricketers, who had the distinction of scoring a hundred and taking five wickets in the same Test at the Lord's.

California prepares for a potentially dangerous storm, referred to as a 'Pineapple Express', bringing hurricane-force winds, flooding, and mudslides. The storm is predicted to be one of the largest and most significant in the county's history. As a precautionary measure, evacuation warnings and orders have been issued for Santa Barbara, Los Angeles, Ventura, and Monterey counties.

During India's tour of Australia, Vinoo Mankad had warned Australian opener Bill Brown against backing up too far at the non-striker's end during a warm-up game at the Sydney Cricket Ground. When that advice was ignored, Mankad ran him out. A month later, in the first Test at the same ground, Mankad again ran out Brown, this time with no warning, sparking a debate about the fairness of such dismissals that continues to this day and has led to them being labelled 'Mankads'.

Assam's top-order batsman Denish Das was mankaded by Jharkhand bowler Pankaj Yadav for 48 in a team total of 94 in the match played in Surat on Friday.

California grapples with a potent atmospheric river, causing widespread flooding, power disruptions, and hurricane-force winds. The state faces the risk of mud and debris flows, fatalities, and serious injuries. Tornadoes are a rare possibility. Transportation is affected, with significant delays and advisories against mountain travel. The storm, known as a "Pineapple Express," necessitates a hurricane-force wind warning.

With the ICC finally terming 'Mankading' 'run out' and removing 'unfair play' in its rule book, the de-stigmatization of running players out at non-striker's has started. In the 1948 tour of Australia, Mankad had famously run out home team 'keeper Bill Brown, who would often leave his crease at the non-striker's end, to gain a few yards.

Actor Rahul, who is an avid follower of cricket, is livid over the controversy surrounding Ravichandran Ashwin’s decision to ‘Mankad’ Jos Butler.

The International Cricket Council's (ICC) chief executives' committee has ratified a slew of changes to the playing conditions which will come into effect from October 1, the most prominent among them being a belated attempt to destigmatize the controversial practice of 'Mankading', or running out a batter at the non-striker's end.

England fast bowler Lauren Bell believes India will provide "great opposition" when the two teams meet in the Women's T20 World Cup on Saturday but said their last controversial meeting had been "put to bed".

A train carrying non-hazardous materials derailed near Paradise, Montana, with no injuries or evacuations reported. About 25 train cars were involved, some appearing to dip into the Clark Fork River. Montana Rail Link, the operator of the train, released a statement claiming that the derailment didn't release any hazardous materials.

The shortest format, over the years, has witnessed dominance of batsmen across the globe with bowlers having little to play for on flat decks with short boundaries. "The T20 game is doing very well and there's no need to tinker with it," Sunil Gavaskar said.

The Chennai offspinner enacted a mode of dismissal similar to what the actor did in the celebrity cricket league recently

Rajasthan Royals batsman Jos Buttler's unusual run out (mankaded) by Kings XI Punjab skipper Ravichandran Ashwin took cricketing world by surprise during Match 4 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Monday.

Former Indian pacer Venkatesh Prasad on Monday gave a befitting reply to former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh over his views on using 'Mankading' as a strategy to get a wicket.

Even as the world debates R Ashwin’s removal of Jos Buttler, the son of Vinoo Mankad has taken objection to it continuously being called ‘Mankaded’.
