Video Goes Viral: Aussie Batter Losing it and Throwing His Bat after Controversial Mankad Dismissal
- last year
The controversial Mankad dismissal in cricket has caused considerable debate across the sport, but there is no doubt about how one Tasmanian batter feels about the tactic.
Jarrod Kaye was dismissed run out at the non-striker's end during the Tasmanian Southern Cricket Association first-grade grand final between Claremont and New Norfolk on Saturday and blew up dramatically.
Chasing 263 in the 50-over match, the Claremont batter was on the right track with 43 runs off 55 balls, including three sixes.
However, New Norfolk vice-captain Harry Booth spotted him inching out of his crease and pulled up on his run-up, removing the balls and removing him at the non-striker's end.
After a short conference between the umpires, Kaye was sent packing and he stormed off the field, hurling his helmet and bat toward the boundary as his teammates marched onto the field in protest.
The result proved costly, as New Norfolk completed a 59-run victory to claim the grand final. Booth played a key role in the victory with bat and ball.
'Harry Booth had to stand up, which he did. After winning the SCA 1st Grade player of the year during the week, Harry smacked 63 off 84 balls. He hit 7 fours and 1 six and looked superb, finding the gap with ease,' the club posted.
The SCA and New Newfolk Cricket Club have limited comments on their social media pages after the video of the incident went viral, with hundreds of thousands of views.
Former Australian and current Melbourne Renegades bowler Cameron Boyce said the actions of both the batter and bowler were 'poor'.
'Both parts of this are s***! Mankad is rubbish. Wouldn't have been 10cm out of his crease so no advantage was being taken. But def can't react like that. Poor all of it,' he tweeted.
Cricket fans were divided, with plenty blaming the batsman for not staying in his crease before throwing his toys out of the cot.
'Old mate they're throwing a tantrum and carrying on like a pork chop when he was found to be out of his crease! Memo to old mate- stay in your crease until the ball is delivered,' posted one fan.
Others said that there was no excuse for the brain explosion.
'All players need to uphold a positive attitude and sportsmanship on the field,' a fan posted.
'That was out and the player should be suspended for a game for throwing a tantrum,' said another.
There were also plenty that defended the batsman, saying the bowler deliberately baited him into the Mankad.
'Fella stops and then almost waits for him to walk out his crease.. dunno about this one,' one punter posted.
'The bowler should be ashamed of himself,' said another.
