England v India: Controversial run out secures 3-0 series whitewash for visitors
Many think the dismissal, which has only happened four times in men's ODI cricket and never before in women's, is against the spirit of cricket, with an expectation among some players that a bowler should give the batter a warning first if they feel they are wandering out of their crease.
"For me, Harmanpreet Kaur has got to look at her side and think, 'is that how we want to win games of cricket?' Can she not withdraw that appeal? "I don't really know how I feel about it because I don't think it's in the spirit of the game," said former England spinner Alex Hartley on BBC Test Match Special."She always, always threatens to do it so as a team you'll talk about it. England have got a lot closer than India would have expected and she's actually done it.
England bowler Kate Cross, who took 4-29 to help bowl India out for 169, said that it was India's choice, but she would not personally have done it. "It's a dismissal that is always going to divide opinion and that's all that is ever going to get said about it. Some people are going to like it, some people aren't and Deepti chose to dismiss Charlie Dean that way.
