There are reports of a "Mankad" incident at the U19 cricket WC.
"Mankad"ing is when a batsman cheats and gets caught out doing so by the bowler - "out" being the pivotal word.
Many in cricket believe that a "Mankad" dismissal is not cricket (but that batsman cheating is) and call for the removal of this type of dismissal (despite it being technically a run-out.
There is one way to change the rule that should suit everybody:
Given that every international match is televised, with TV umpires, change the rules to penalise any batsman's team 1 run every time they cheat before the ball leaves the bowler's hand.
