Mankading Officially Classified as Run-Out Under Law 38.3 — MCC 2026

MCC / All Cricket

1 May 2026

The 2026 edition of the MCC Laws of Cricket formalises a long-debated administrative reclassification: Mankading — running out the non-striker for backing up before the bowler has released the ball — is now officially classified as a run-out under Law 38.3. The reclassification removes the dismissal from cricket's "unfair play" implications and treats it as the routine procedural dismissal it has always been technically.

England v Australia

1882-08-29

On the second morning of the 1882 Oval Test, with Australia's score at 114 in their second innings, young Sammy Jones wandered out of his crease to do some gardening — and WG Grace, ball in hand at point, threw down the stumps. Spofforth, watching from the pavilion, called Grace 'a bloody cheat' and reportedly stormed into the England dressing room with the line, 'this will lose you the match.' Two hours later he had taken 7 for 44 and Australia had won by 7 runs.
