West Indies legend Ian Bishop reacts to the run-out controversy in the women’s ODI series against England. Bishop tweeted that the batsman should watch the bowler until the ball is released and learn from Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson in this regard.
Plain and simple. Keep your eyes on the bowler and ball all the way through to ball release like Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson and these arguments go away. Let’s teach our young kids to back up like these two great players. https://t.co/PLJTfFGtNQ

‘It’s that simple. Watch the bowler and the ball until the ball is released, as Kane Williamson and Virat Kohli do. In that case, all these disputes will go away. Let’s teach the young players to back up like these great players. Running between the wickets is a skill. Bowlers try to get a quick start by pre-calculating the release of the ball, or they can be careless. Or they are taking an unfair advantage. Whatever it is, there is no excuse.’- says the bishop.
My final view on this: Running between the wickets is a skill. Batters are trying to anticipate bowler ball release to get a quick start like in a sprint race or they are careless or they are trying to gain an unfair advantage, or just plain lazy. Either way it’s no excuse.

Deepti Sharma ran out Charlotte Dean for the last wicket in the last ODI against England. Charlotte was also the first batter to get out after Dean Mankading was run out on a foul. Deepti Sharma had informed that she ran out after warning Charlotte several times. However, this was rejected by England star Heather Knight. Heather said that there was no warning and there was no need to warn as it was within the law. Heather tweeted that there is no point in trying to justify that wicket by lying about warning because it was legal. Heather did not play against India due to injury.
1/2 The game is over, Charlie was dismissed legitimately. India were deserved winners of the match and the series. But no warnings were given. They don’t need to be given, so it hasn’t made the dismissal any less legitimate… https://t.co/TOTdJ3HgJe

2/2 But if they’re comfortable with the decision to affect the run out, India shouldn’t feel the need to justify it by lying about warnings ????????♀️ https://t.co/TOTdJ3HgJe
