REUTERS: Mankad's recent dismissal of Ravichandran Ashwin from Jos Buttler in the Indian Premier League was not "in the spirit of the game," said the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) after viewing the images of the incident.
The MCC, guardian of the cricket laws, had previously stated that the decision could have gone both ways, according to the interpretation "from the moment the thrower should have released the ball".
"After thoroughly examining the incident again and after thinking, we do not think it was in the spirit of the game," said Fraser Stewart, head of Cricket Law at the MCC, at the Daily Telegraph.
Kings XI captain Punjab, Ashwin, was disapproved by his teammates and experts after fainting from Buttler, while the Rajasthan Royals drummer pulled back at the end of the match, instead of finishing his delivery.
The dismissal, which owes its name to the Indian pitcher Vinoo Mankad, who had defeated Australian Bill Brown in the same way in 1947, is allowed under the Cricket Laws, but is considered by some to be going to court. 39 against the spirit of the match.
The CMC changed position because Ashwin stopped after delivery and waited for Buttler to leave the enclosure before removing the bullets.
"We think the break was too long between when Ashwin reached the threshold of safety and when it was reasonable to expect the balloon to be delivered," said Stewart.
"When Buttler could reasonably expect the ball to be delivered, he was in his court, and now we think that at the right moment, Buttler was in his court.
"Buttler, it's fair to say, has not made a concerted effort to regain his place after Ashwin delayed his delivery, and did not help him in that regard. "
Stewart said non-scorers should stop trying to gain an advantage by backing off before the ball is thrown.
"It is also unfair and contrary to the spirit of cricket that non-strikers leave their land too early," he added. "All these debates would not be necessary if the non-strikers stayed on their ground until the balloon was coming down."
