WATCH: Kiwi hitter Glenn Phillips invents the squat position to avoid leaving the crease prematurely and avoiding the “Cricket of Cricket” controversy

Pictures and videos of kickers leaving the crease early before the kicker delivers the ball are going viral on social media. To avoid this, New Zealander Glenn Phillips invented a new style to avoid leaving wrinkles prematurely.

Phillips was a hero when Kiwis locked horns with Sri Lanka on Saturday [October 29/] At the SCG in Sydney. He only smashed 64 balls by 104 runs to assist his team after 167/7. Spearhead Trent Boult then did the rest of the work by swimming four goals and leading his team to 65 running victories. But aside from those two Kiwis, Phillips’ squat position is making headlines.

Check the video below:

He did this to avoid the “Spirit of Cricket” controversy. It all started when Deepti Sharma mandated Charlie Dean during his UK tour of India. Dean was the British side’s only hope of avoiding a whitewash, but Deepti’s exhaustion ended England’s hopes. And at the House of Cricket, Harmanpreet Kaur-The hosts led by India swept 3-0 clean.

Now extinction triggered the debate over whether mankading is in the “Spirit of Cricket”? According to MCC, it is. But fans, cricket experts and even former and past cricketers have polarized views on the matter. Some say it’s unfair, while others say it’s unfair to stop wrinkling early. However, the controversy surrounding one of this sport’s most controversial rules will likely end.
