Sharma didn’t give a warning either. I don’t have an issue with a Mankad if some degree or warning is given to the batter but she didn’t do that. It came across as a measure to ‘win at all costs’ which is becoming a bit of a trend in Indian cricket. Did they not think they would be able to take England’s 10th wicket before England reached the total?
Men’s or women’s team, they’re way behind the Aussies now as my least favourite international cricket side.
To be fair to the Indian mens team, they allowed Ian Bell to come back out after a tea break once. Bell thought the ball was hit the ball for four on the last ball before Tea,and they started walking off. The fielder on the boundary threw the ball back in and the bails were taken off by Dhoni I think, but because they walked off for tea, and Bell’s lapse in concerntration they didn’t think it was very sporting to get him out like that, and allowed him to carry on with his innings, and I think he went and got 130+ at Trent Bridge I think it was.
