[edit] Mankad

mmmm, it's fair to mention that a bowler can run out a non-striker who's backing up before entering his delivery stride - but that isn't Mankading, so it needs to move. Perhaps we rewrite the section so that its called something like 'Batsman stealing a run' with Mankading being a subsection of it. I'm not quite sure. jguk 20:15, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Your right, but I'm too sleeply to do this right now. [[User:Nichalp|¶ ɳȉčḩåḽṗ | ✉]] 20:29, Oct 12, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Run cut out

A run cut out is the official term for a bowler running a non-striker at the time of his delivery. I stand by this as I have watched a quiz show, the Bournvita Quiz Contest and a clip was shown with Courtney Walsh attempting to run-out the non-striker. This was telecast back in 1996.

Was the QM Derek O'Brien ? He is well-known for inventing terms on his own and for his "kitchen questions" (ie, cooked-up questions) :-) Tintin (talk) 09:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I have never heard it called this before, and cannot find any reference to it (other than this article). I'd request a reference for this (other than a quiz show) :) If it's a local term (eg in India), then the paragraph should probably be rewritten to say this. I think the current wording: "correct" is wrong. The "correct" term (ie the method of dismissal recorded in the scorebook) is "Run Out". Coatesg 12:37, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Walsh non-mankad

Is there an article somewhere that states that the Windies lost the game where Courtney Walsh didn't mankad Jaffer? A quick search only brings up copies of this article. The match described in the article appears to be this one which the West Indies actually won, though Pakistan still qualified ahead of the West Indies for the semi final of the WC. This appears to be the game in question, which means the article is wrong, I'm happy to be proven wrong though. Dannow 09:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/WORLD_CUPS/WC87/GROUP-B/WI_PAK_WC87_ODI9_16OCT1987.html is the match. Tintin (talk) 09:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

You were right that the article was wrong. This was in the first match between the two times and hence did not directly decide the teams to qualify for the semifinals. But had West Indies won the match and the results of the other matches remained the same, they would eventually have qualified for the semifinal and Pakistan would have been eliminated on run-rate.

Thanks for the clarification. Dannow 01:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
