Were you also taught as a batsman about backing up a run?
I'm pretty sure if you look at it again that Buttler was behind the line when the ball would have been released. It was only after the bowlers arm followed through without releasing where he moved out of his ground. He was not stealing a run, he was not backing up at pace, he was being pretty conservative. It was cheap piece of work by the bowler.

Yes and I was taught not to leave the crease before the ball was released.

It's odd how the MCC disagree with you.

Not according to this release by the MCC
I am not disputing that this rule should be in existence but it was not brought in for examples like this. It was brought in to stop players being half way down the wicket when the bowler has released the ball or batsmen running in with the bowler. Buttler was doing neither.

Interesting to read on BBC this morning that James Vince is moving up the order at Hampshire from 3 to open in a bid to get his England spot back. Always rated him and thought he looked a decent player, hope it works for him and he has a good season. We desperately need an in-form opener and Vince in good nick could be a very solid option.
Vince was always beautiful to watch but kept getting out in his teens, early 20's. If his technique or concentration gets tighter then I'd love him back in the team. Boy could we do with an opener as well. Good to see him really target that position.
wonder if Ashwin would have done that if it were Kohli ?

Well Vince has put three figures on the board opening up. Not a bad start to the summer

Saw him bat at Hove in a friendly against Sussex on Monday and his innings of 70 appeared effortless. So frustrating that his talent hasnt translated into significant runs at test level.

Some great scores already in the warm up games. Was seriously impressed by Pope's 251 against a decent MCC side

Pope should have gone on the last tour.

In fairness he shouldnt be bowling the death overs but they have little else bar Archer. He got called for a no ball that they refused to show the replay for (and pics seem to imply wasnt that close to a no ball at all). Otherwise had a fun game, caught a worldie of a catch before being the fall guy at the death.
I see its been brushed under the carpet that Dhoni marched onto the pitch to complain about an umpiring decision with a few balls to go (having managed to get a rest when clearly knackered when batting earlier too that no one else wouldve been allowed), should be facing a decent ban for it, instead theyre acting like it hasnt even happened (and deleted it from the highlights on all accounts!!!)

Dhoni docked 50% of match fee... so that would be one less coffee for him.
Stokes... so much talent, but when will he learn to hold his nerves at the death..

Reading the Indian newspapers here in Mumbai this week.. one of them mentions in the fine print somewhere... ‘ Dhoni got away with a fine, anyone else would have got a match ban’ ..

How rather Orwellian: all are equal but some are more equal than others.

No Archer in the WC squad. What do we think?

He's in the warm up games so if he impresses, he'll make the WC squad as changes can be made up to 23rd May.
