But, other than the century, Phillips was the talk of the town due to sense of mind that he displayed during his inning to take quick runs but not fell pray to Mankading (now officially run out).

While the bowler bowled the ball, Glenn Phillips would take a stance of a runner and when the ball is bowled, he would run for a quick run. Seeing, Twitterati praised Glenn for creativity while there is much controversy regarding this Mankading run out situation.
