ThorntonRunner Jul 2023 10:54pm, 3 Jul 2023 6,848 posts	Quote Pin ThorntonRunner All the manufactured indignation in the press, in social media and among the players re was it a catch / was it a stumping has pretty much turned me off the men's ashes. If the umpire gives it out it's out. Have a bit of a discussion but then move on, there's only so much can be said before it's all just repetition. In truth I think that in this age of money ruling the roost the spirit of the game is pretty much an obsolete anachronism. Just go by the laws. Mankad - fine, if you don't want to walk for an edge, don't - the umpires are paid to make decisions. On another topic, was talking to son today. In the league he plays in (Cumbria/Northumberland area) the league cup is now a hundred competition. It's had to be self umpired as only one league umpire was prepared to umpire it. All the others were "sod it - I'm not getting involved in that format")
