Lol such hypocrites!
India are the cricket money men and therefore own cricket.
And Tamwolf, when growing up playing colts cricket, we were encouraged to do that and so were most other teams!
Theres only one person at fault here. The stupid Jos Buttler. The daily mail was right...this country has such a horrible blame culture. No one takes responsibility for their actions.
Where did I say Buttler wasn't to blame? He had been warned so should have been more aware. I just said I wouldn't have done it.
I coach junior level cricket and encourage youngsters to back up and walk in with the bowler, so they are ready for a quick single if the opportunity arises. I don't encourage them to stop in their run up when bowling to try and catch a batsmen out, not unless he is 3 yards down the pitch when the bowler gets to the stumps. Buttler was only walking out his crease at the point Senanyake would have released the ball had he not stopped, so if one of my players had done it, I would have discouraged it.
You can try to belittle my opinion all you want by bringing up blame culture etc, but that has nothing to do with it. People have different opinions and will play the sport under different principles to you. You need to accept that.
BTW, the Daily Mail is a terrible paper that breeds fear and blame.

Not true tam. Buttler was a good 2/3 yards down the track, away from his creasing before the lankan lad had bowled it. In effective, your saying to your bowler not to do that, but indirectly telling your batsman to cheat a few yards for a sneaky single. Lanka were well within their rights.....

No he's not, his bat is within the crease until the point where Senanyake would normally release the ball had he not stopped.
I tell my players to walk in with the bowler so they leave their crease when the bowler releases the ball. That is not cheating.
