Every time this incident happens, there are preachers who hop in and start preaching: Ravichandran Ashwin on Adam Zampa BBL controversy Melbourne Stars skipper Adam Zampa was at the centre of drama against Renegades in the Big Bash League Melbourne derby earlier this week. The incident had occurred during the final over of the Renegades innings as Rogers was dismissed by Zampa.

Cricket lawmakers say Melbourne Stars captain Adam Zampa's attempted BBL Mankad decision was correct Melbourne Stars skipper Adam Zampa attempted to remove the bails at the non-striker's end before bowling in an attempt to take Renegades batter Tom Rogers' wicket. Zampa completed his action without releasing the ball, then took the bail off with Rogers out of his crease and celebrated defiantly by raising his finger and stomping straight back to his mark. The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) confirmed giving Rogers not out was the right decision. Zampa was booed by a predominately Stars crowd on more than one occasion. Brad Hogg said he thought Rogers was clearly taking an advantage. 'How can one say Rogers is not taking advantage? He has left the crease before the bowler has reached his normal release point,' he said.
