Warning South African batter in second Test, an enraged Mitchell Starc yells, “Stay in your crease.”

In cricket, a controversial method of dismissal is to run the batsman out at the non-end striker’s if the batter leaves his or her crease before the ball is bowled. This occurs when the batter departs the crease before the ball is bowled.

Although there are spectators and industry professionals who are in favour of the law, there are others who believe that it ought to be changed since it is unjust.

The Marylebone Cricket Club, which is responsible for upholding the rules of cricket, changed the method of dismissal from the “unfair play” section of their rules to the “run out” section earlier this year. This change was then ratified by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on October 1.

The fact that hitters can obtain an unfair advantage by leaving their crease early at the non-end striker’s cannot be overlooked, regardless of the fans’ and experts’ opinions on the matter. This is a truth that cannot be denied.

Bowlers typically give batters who commit such an offence a warning before attempting to dismiss them for the first time rather than sending them out of the game immediately. This is done to combat the constant debate that surrounds the method of dismissal.

During the second test that was just finished at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia pacer Mitchell Starc became irritated and issued a warning to South Africa batter Theunis de Bruyn. This incident was very similar to the one described above.

Starc was scheduled to bowl the final ball of the 17th over of the South African batting on day 4 of the Boxing Day Test. Nevertheless, de Bruyn exited his crease a considerable amount of time before Starc could have let go of the ball in his hands.

Starc chose not to bowl that delivery, and when he came back from the follow-up, he issued a warning to the batter.

“Keep your position in the crease. It’s not even that difficult, “Starc remarked.
