It has to be said that in the whole span of BBL history, the Melbourne clubs are under-achievers. When Will Sutherland relieved him, he immediately picked up Marcus Stoinis from a flat-footed slash, and the Stars were 4/16. To a backdrop of boos from Renegades fans, the standing umpire Gerard Abood checked with TV umpire Shawn Craig, who ruled that Zampa had completed his action and therefore Rogers was not out. “I’m probably staying in my crease a little bit longer than in the past.” “I’m a little bit confused by the rule, but obviously it’s been flavour of the month for a little while,” he said. Zampa made it clear that he meant to claim the wicket.

The incident occurred during the final over of the Renegades' innings when Zampa attempted to run out Tom Rogers at the non-striker's end after Rogers had ...

"I reckon they should take it out of their (the bowlers') hands. I just don't like seeing that in the game of cricket. "You can have the third umpire look at the front foot for a no ball. If he's going to bowl 140 km/h absolute seeds, he should get Mankadded more often," Harper said while mic'd up for Fox Cricket after Rogers picked up a wicket in his first over. Zampa wanted to make a statement with it (but) I think Rogers was within the rules." "Yep," Cummins said when Starc asked him for permission to Mankad in a press conference following the completion of the Boxing day Test. Skipper Pat Cummins then gave his paceman and the rest of his team license to Mankad if the Proteas continued to "take the mickey" by backing up too far. Take it away from the bowler. "I think Adam Zampa was peeved the ball before when they ran a two to deep long on. "Rogers actually wasn't backing up that far when he (Zampa) did go past the vertical," he said. "It's not the right way to play cricket, yet it was more of a warning for the batter not to leave too early because at the end of the innings that's what generally happens," he told Fox Cricket during the Stars' run chase.

“The best way to do it is to say to the batsman, if you leave your crease, you get docked five runs. I just don’t like seeing that in the game of cricket.” [January 3, 2023] [#bbl12] [January 3, 2023] [#mankad] [#zampa] [January 3, 2023]

'I saw red': Zampa says he was 'well within my rights' as BBL Mankad controversy erupts.

“It was just phenomenal … “It will probably be in the news tomorrow and then everyone will forget about it,” he said. The TV replay showed Zampa’s arm went past the vertical in his bowling action, so Rogers survived. Rogers responded to the incident by taking career-best figures of 5-16, and while he admitted the Mankad attempt fired him up “a little bit”, he told reporters post-game that teammate Sam Harper was exaggerating when he told the broadcast that he was “fuming” about the incident. “I’m a very competitive guy so I guess I saw red a little bit when he (Rogers) used that (stealing ground) to his advantage.” “I think I was well within my right to do it, it’s in the rule book, it’s well within the rules.

The Australian star has revealed the brutal reason why he didn't hesitate to take the dramatic run-out chance.

If I’ve got a problem with it, I’ve got to take it out with the administrators, not with Adam Zampa, who’s just effecting what he believes is a realistic dismissal in the game.” “I don’t like the law. “I thought Tom Rogers took advantage of that the ball before. If you don’t like it, take it up with the administrators. “I’m not quite sure exactly why he did it. If you like it, no problems. “I did mention that to him after the game - he was still fired up, I reckon,” Zampa said. “It’s not the players’ fault that the rule is what it is; it’s the administrators that have made that call. “That moment will be talked about for a while now, and the fact of the matter is: the rules have changed,” he said. (Rogers) took advantage of that the ball before and I thought ‘why not’,” he said. Mackenzie Harvey had chunked it to long-on and somehow Tom Rogers was almost at Mackenzie Harvey by the time it had hit the ground.” “The ball before, I was bowling to Mackenzie Harvey and, as someone who’s bowling the 20th over, you want to bowl to the bowlers,” Zampa told Channel 7.
