Q: In relation to the Mankad issue and its increased regularity especially in T20 cricket.
Bowlers are penalised for going 1mm over the crease for a no ball and it cost the team one run plus a free hit which could mean the penalty is 7 runs if the free hit is hit for 6. Bowlers are also penalised if they’re stray outside the markers and the ball is called a wide and it could also cost their team 7 runs if the additional bowl is hit for 6. That’s all fine because it’s in the rules.
The Mankad is in the rules but it’s not a good look and creates tension amongst the players so with all the technology involved in the game what if a penalty is introduced to the batting team if the batter leaves the crease before the ball is bowled.
The technology and penalty take the pressure off the bowlers and the umpires and like the bowler’s penalties means the batters have to stick to the rules of the game.
Is 2 or 3 runs too much of a penalty, keen to get your thoughts.

A: Cracker I’ve been saying for 12 months, if the batsman leaves early it classed as a short run. Simple and takes away any thoughts of the bowling team needing to do a mankad.

Q: As a young captain I’d like to ask why the Gully position is popular for fast and medium pace bowlers. I tend to see more balls go the 3rd or 4 slip area and wondered should I be using them instead of gully?
A: Glen, Good question! It’s hard to give a definitive answer. As a Capt you need to be adaptive to the pitch conditions, batting style, bowler pace etc.
I’ve always erred on the side on a finer gully to the fast bowlers and a squarer gully for the slower bowlers.
Just a thought, Why not 3 slips and a gully?
