Very disappointing finish. They didn’t need to do that.

Edit - actually watched it.

I think this type of run out has become a bit like batsmen walking. Many will walk if have a decent score and at certain stages of game but few will early in innings or at crucial stage of game. Same as this run out. Very unlikely at early stages but more likely in a win or lose situation.

Most batters in the professional game won't walk at any point, and as long as they don't moan when given out wrongly I don't have any issue with that.

I normally have quite strong feelings on this sort of dismissal, in that it's the batter's responsibility to make sure they're still in the crease when the bowler's letting go of the ball. Actually, now that I come to write it down, that is my opinion. You have "how to back up properly" drilled into you when you're about 10, it really isn't hard.

That said, I'd prefer the bowler to give a warning. I've seen people take the piss far more than Dean was in that delivery.

Personally I think it was shameful. The batter had the bat grounded at the point of delivery and the bowler sucked her into the run out. It’s not cricket, it is cheating. If the bowler had thought the batter had been taking liberties then she should have warned her. Absolute disgrace to the game.
