John, If you go further on to see the conditions on page 26 of the document, relating to Law 42.15 Bowler attempting to run out non-striker, which says 42.11 Law 42.15 – Bowler attempting to run out non-striker before delivery Law 42.15 shall be replaced by the following: The bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to attempt to run out the non-striker. Whether the attempt is successful or not, the ball shall not count as one of the over. If the bowler fails in an attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon possible. I hope that clears it up finally.

But this underlines what a mess we've got into with the divergences between ICC and other pro competition regulations and the Laws.

MCC 42.15 says that the bowler is permitted to runout the non-striker before entering his delivery stride. I put it to you that this does not preclude him from running out the non-striker after having entered his delivery stride...
The ICC conditions seem like a sensible 'furthest point' from which a bowler can commit The Mankad. As we know, not all bowlers have a true delivery stride and the bowling action of others make the delivery stride impossible to determine.

Dave, I no longer stand as a practising umpire, but am now assessing umpires along with other colleagues on this forum. It was always my belief that the delivery stride, as with No Ball the feet, was the last deliberate placement of the feet before the delivery action of the arm was completed. It follows, therefore, that your contention that some bowlers do not have a true delivery stride is poorly founded.
