Cricket.
Butler and partners were stealing
runs.
Law should adjust to make such a run no
run.

Mahela in the post match interview had said that the duo of Butler and Bopara had taken 22 twos - obviously
some assisted by early take off.

At the 4th ODI vs England, Senanayake bowling
warned Buttler not to leave the crease till the ball was bowled. Buttler didn’t
care, and soon enough according to rules, Senanayake ran him out. That is that.
Seems Senanayake is being queried about
his bowling action too as happened to Murali.
To me, most of the fast bowlers around,
if not all seem to be throwing with gay abandon- as seen on TV. Fasties are the ones to watch.
Anyhow Sri Lanka won convincingly.
Sri Lanka
winning a match or a series is no longer a 7 day wonder.
Jayawewa!

So, the England players and supporters, led by their captain, Alastair Cook, are bellyaching and whingeing about Senanayake running out Buttler at the non-striker’s end. Naturally, the crowd too joined in, and at the end of the game Cook appeared to say some nasty things to Matthews.
The bottom line is, who began this illegitimate incident that forced Senanayake’s hand? In other words, if Buttler did not provoke Senanayake by attempting to take a foul start there would not have been any incident. ICC playing regulation, amended in 2011, and applicable to this series states: “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.”
As teen-aged cricketers at school our (unpaid) coaches used to clearly advise us, that while being at the non-striker’s end, to watch the bowler’s arm and move only after the bowler has released the ball. Seems Cook and Buttler have not been advised on this matter despite reaching international levels. A very sad state of affairs when one considers the captain of the country that gave this game to the world is in the dark. Read the rest of this entry »

Andrew Fernando in ESPNcricinfo where
the title reads “Emboldened Sri Lanka keep their cool”
As the Edgbaston crowd’s displeasure eddied around the ground late in England’s innings, Sri Lanka were still, at the centre of the whirlpool. Spectators had been incensed by Sachithra Senanayake‘s run out of Jos Buttler – a Mankad which, upon the umpire’s inquiry, Angelo Mathews did not hesitate to uphold. The England innings was already creaking at 199 for 7, but as the boos rang around the ground, Sri Lanka did not delay delivering the final blows. With 220 to chase, this would be their game to lose.

It was a brief passage of play, but one which
illustrated an unwavering focus that has become a theme of this Sri Lanka
team’s cricket, particularly in 2014. They had had one horror day at Sharjah in
January, but quickly shed the trauma of that defeat to trounce Bangladesh
across all formats. An unbeaten Asia Cup campaign came as the annual contracts
tussle with the board began to bubble up. That saga erupted before the World
T20, which was won with contracts unsigned, and administrators engaged in
disputes with senior players. Mahela Jayawardene, the man who was most
visibly shaken by the heated exchanges with SLC, was the team’s lead scorer in
that campaign.

George Dobell: “Senanayake catches Buttler dozing”
…. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-sri-lanka-2014/content/story/750041.html[/
Umpire Gough gives
Buttler out
There was little doubt what the Birmingham crowd
thought to the run-out of Jos Buttler. Boos rang out around Edgbaston every
time Sachithra Senanayake touched
the ball following his decision to end Buttler’s innings. Already utilising an
action that some in England – a conservative country in cricketing terms –
believe to be dubious, Senanayake will now forever be cast in the role of
villain after running out the home side’s golden boy in a rare instance of
‘Mankading’ in the international game.
Buttler, the non-striking batsman, had backed up too
far. He was out of his crease. Senanayake, the bowler, had warned him in the
previous over. He warned him, clearly and in sight of the umpires, that if
Buttler continued to back up out of his crease, he would remove the bails and
complete the run out. Read the rest of this entry »
