Yeah team mankad 100%. If the non striker is marginal then I think warn first but if they're really taking the piss then don't even warn them.
I don't think either player is cheating though - the non striker is taking a risk trying to get an advantage. Very similar to a stumping really.

Why the warning in the first place ?
It’s not like a bowler cleans someone up and they get a warning. If you’re out you’re out.

Totally, not cheating, just part of the game. Like trying to steal a base in baseball. Should be zero outrage either way

It baffles me that it makes headlines. Stay in the crease til the last moment and you won’t get out. If it’s not the ‘spirit of the game’ then bowlers may as well not try to get guys bowled, stumped, caught or LBW either..

and we think our selectors are cautious and backward thinking
Word is Sam Konstas is not getting a run in SL. They are dropping him, pushing Head to open, and bringing a 29 year old keeper in to bat in the middle order.
Now, it's not like Konstas looks to the manner born, he had that one innings where he got in to Bumrah and everyone lost their shit, but other than that there wasn't a lot of return.
but
that's two young openers they have rissoled in a couple of months, in an ageing team desperate for some new blood. They are short runs at the top of the order because old man Khawaja can't buy one at the moment. No way Inglis is a long term option, and moving Head is risking their current best batsman. Doesn't seem the smart play to me

the fuck do i know?
Aus are 66/0 after 10 overs

Australia scoring runs freely on the sub continent..whats happening?

Is there any way to watch this in NZ? I can't find any coverage

I thought this would be on Sky but apparently not. I don't know why I pay $50 a month for that piece of shit service.

I stand by this point.
These two are bitch slapping a pretty ordinary attack. Head should have done the same.
The real tragedy: the fact we've lost two wickets

Day 1 to Australia convincingly, given the amount of spinners playing, im expecting this road to break up like an earthquake has come through and Tony's keys to be lost in the cracks

Back to back Tests on the same square should be interesting.

Honestly every since I made that post about Smith being past it and his technique being found out he's just piled on the runs. Regret saying anything now.
