It's back today

Truly fantastic event and a decent opportunity to win a few bets in running

Anyway sky have lost it this year and BT have nipped in

If you're on sky but haven't got BT, get to STAR in the 7 or 800s and watch it there

It's a bit 'not in the spirit', but it could be argued that neither is stealing a march by starting a run too early.

Stay in your crease and it can't happen.

All in all not worth getting too worked up over.

I've not seen it, so cannot comment. But reports suggest he stopped his run-up to knock the bails off and the likes of Shane Warne are saying that it should be a dead ball if he's stopping his run-up. Apparently as his foot came into the crease - Buttler was still behind the line... but in the split second that Buttler set-off he was runout.

He does stop his run up, almost a bit slow motion as he runs Buttler out. As if he is trying to make a point.

Not sure how the rules/laws apply; I'll defer to Warner's greater knowledge.

As a bowler it pisses me right off when you know the batsman is setting off early. Only twice in my life have I actually stopped because I knew he was halfway down the wicket. I still didn't take the bails off though, I just told him I'd do it next time. They never did do it again.

In this instance though it's out of order. Buttler isn't trying to take the piss, it's only his momentum that's taken him out of the crease. Shithouse tactics to get the best batter out.

It just wasn't cricket.

As for Warne, an Aussie, to be questioning sportsmanship. Well, that's a bit rich innit.

Daz, putting aside the Aussie factor, is warne right about the bowler stopping- should it be a dead ball?

Perhaps open to interpretation?

My old fella used to play league cricket, and always said the bowler should warn the batsman, and not go through with it first time.

The bowler is within his rights to do what he did, in terms of the rules. He doesn't have to give a warning, however, in the spirit of the game, he should do.

It's just a shithouse trick to do it like he did without giving him a prior warning,Ā  but he is entitled to do it.

Stokes is one of the best to ever play the gameĀ 

If the game is T20, thats Buttler

Caught up with yesterdays game earlier

Chased 220, Buttler out on his feet times it to perfection with another ton

Sensational knock. Watched it in Nam Ploy before the Shrews game.
