England Woman Cricket Team

IST Semi-Final V India - 11am.

India beat England by 4 runs, England will play tomorrow a 10am, for a Bronze Medal, against the loser of todays 2nd Semi-Final at 6pm between Australia & New Zealand.

England didn't help themselves with a missed stumping, dropped sitter, and numberous bits of bad fielding / throwing.

England suffered a heavy 8 wicket defeat in the Bronze Medal match against New Zealand. They scrambled their way to 110-9, with stand-in captain Sciver top scoring with 27. The Kiwi's knocked off the runs inside 12 overs, with Sophie Devine making 51 not out.

A 9 wicket victory over India in wet conditions at Durham last night. Glenn took 4-23, Dunkley 61 no, as they chased down 133 with 42 balls remaining.

After a 2-1 series win in the T20I for England, India won the ODI series 3-0. Although, taking the 10th wicket to run out the non-striker backing up is not the best way to finish a close match. Often a bowler gives a prior warning to a batter, but not in this case. It looked like the only way India would take a wicket, as N0.9 Dean was calmly guiding England to victory, from an unlikely position of 65-7, & required only 17 runs from 39 balls.
The law concerning this type of dismissal currently comes under Fair & Unfair Play - Law 42, in October in will be moved to Law 38 - Run Outs, in an attempt to remove some of the stigma of such a dismissal. As it stands today it's within the laws to do so, but doesn't actually state whether it's fair or unfair, open to interpretation.
The West Indies Under-19 World Cup winners took a lot of stick when they defeated Zimbabwe to progress to the quarter-final stages, with a similar run-out.
It will be interesting to see if the new law change will see many more teams affect this type of run-out.

^ There's an answer to this type of games(woman)ship. The next time that we play we wait for a simular opportunity with the Indian captain.

But teams do take liberties with backing up. As there are cameras on the popping crease I sure that a rule could be brought in.

Don't venture out your crease and you can't get run out. Simple as.

^^ Any run out is a waste, strange that when the non- striking batsman is trying gain an unfair advantage, it's the bowler that is at fault for initiating a dismissal, within the laws.
I hate to see a non-striker run out backing up when the bowler deflects a straight-drive onto the stumps, as you rightly say snooks, don't leave your crease.
The whole issue with a bowler affecting a dismissal in his delivery stride is bound up in the history of the game, I can remember maybe 4 or 5 such dismissals, it's so rare, & has been considered unsporting to do so, & at least without a prior warning, which has been the expected etiquette.

There wasn't any 'games(woman)ship' involved.

Law 41.16 states that if the non-striker is out of his/her ground the non-striker is liable to be run out. What part of that do you find difficult to understand?

By the way, the England batter was a whole SEVEN FEET from the crease and I notice you're not dubbing that as 'games(woman)ship'.
