Adam Zampa was the villain on Tuesday night when his attempt at Mankading Tom Rogers during the Melbourne derby at the Big Bash failed.
With the Renegades at 7-139 and two balls remaining in their end, the Australian spinner took out the bails at the non-striker end with Rogers barely out of the box.
The Melbourne Stars’ celebrations, however, were interrupted by the television referee, who did not start Rogers after ruling that Zampa had completed his action without releasing the ball.

Zampa’s attempt to run out Rogers didn’t seem to go down well at the MCG, with the Australian star being roundly booed by a crowd dominated by Star fans.
But speaking on Fox Cricket, former Australia goalkeeper Brad Haddin suggested Zampa ‘should have warned’ Rogers before his attempt.
“I think Zampa was dirty on the ball earlier when Rogers came in and out and got Harvey on strike.
I didn’t think we were going to see it [an attempted Mankad in the BBL] To be honest.’

Rogers protested his case, insisting that he was not completely out of the box.
Meanwhile, Brett Lee suggested that it was time for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to kill off the controversial rule once and for all.
‘If he [Zampa] goes through where he should drop the ball there […] it’s considered that you can’t actually Mankad the batsman,’ said the former fast Australian during the innings break.
‘I don’t like that rule, I don’t like the Mankad rule at all, I think they should take it off their hands.
‘The best way to do it is to tell the batsman, if you leave your line, five runs are taken away. Take it away from the bowler […] I just don’t like to see that in the game of cricket.
The referee on the field explained to Zampa that the television referee did not start Rogers after deeming that the Stars captain had completed his action without releasing the ball.
One of the most controversial methods of dismissal, Mankading has generated debate in cricket since it was first used by Indian bowler Vidoo Mankad during the 1947 tour of Australia.
Mankad took out Australian batsman Bill Brown by removing the bails on the non-striker’s end after Brown had made a good drive from his box.
In October last year, the International Cricket Council changed their rules on Mankading to no longer classify it as ‘Unfair Play’ but simply another method of ‘Exhausting’.
The controversial dismissal has always been considered a legal and fair way to dismiss a batsman under the Laws of Cricket from the Marylebone Cricket Club.
MCC Code Law 41.16.1 states that: ‘If the non-hitting player is out of bounds at any time from the time the ball comes into play until the time the pitcher would normally be expected to release the ball , the non-striker can be expelled.
‘In these circumstances the miss-player will be out Run out if he/she is outside his/her wicket when his/her wicket is knocked over by the bowler bowling the ball into the stumps or by the bowler’s hand holding it. the ball. , whether or not the ball is subsequently thrown.’
