That Bavuma runout of Warner has got to be my favourite moment of the recent SA tour of Aus .

I'd wager that a rather small percentage of run-outs are caused by this.
To my eye a large majority of run outs, in Tests are least, seem to occur when the batsmen disagree over whether there's a run there. The disagreement can result in anything from a horrendous mix-up to one batsmen just being slightly slow off the mark, but both can result in run-outs where the batsmen just taking off immediately wouldn't have.

Quick singles in test matches are dumb

this thinking leads to
because you also have a heavy share of batsmen who believe you take every run possible
I've never had much of a problem with Run-Outs during my career.
My view was plain and simple. When I yell ' No ' and if you still run, I'm staying put at my end.
I recall an instance when a partner wanted to run at everything. Once, I sent him back and as soon as he re-gained his crease, the fielders throw came crashing onto his stumps.
He never made a peep after that.

Not sure if srs
I mean, so's your face
This is where you're making assumptions, and probably wrong. If you cut out all "risky running" you'd probably leave a lot more runs out there than run outs would cost you. Hence why you do it.
I'm not saying to cut out all ' risky running ', only those that are not warranted.
For example, Pujara who has been run out a number of times in the past, took a risky run with Kohli in the 2nd Test vs Eng and got run out again.
I cannot see him taking 10 risky runs and getting away with it, but I could see him adding much more than that had he not got himself run out.
Same too with Root and Curran in the 4th Test when they had time on their hands (a full 5th day) and the game in balance

The funniest Run-Out I have encountered in my playing dayz was when the non-striker came running to my crease when I had not even touched the ball.
I had left the ball which went straight to the 'keeper, who was standing far back because of the speed of the fast bowler. The non-striker thought he could sneak in a measly run and paid the price for that.
Now, I see in the Inzi Youtube, the non-striker go one better. He runs to the strikers crease when Inzi has been hurt and writhing in pain on the grass. How brilliant is this ?

How do you judge 'not warranted'? Pujara is bad running between the wickets, we know that. Is he just supposed to run on the easiest of singles? It's pretty hard to get around the fact that the more runs you run the more runs you'll score. And so many times the run could be made if someone hadn't screwed up. Are partners supposed to anticipate each other's screw ups?

Why do batsmen sometimes leave the ball on the stumps? I don't get it. If the ball is close to the stumps why don't they just play at it so they don't get bowled?
same thing. People aren't robots who judge everything perfectly, instantly. Run outs happen.

Exactly. The concept of unwarranted run is so subjective that it has no meaning or definition that can be applied when making decisions. Also if you are a player who likes to rotate the strike and build confidence early in your innings the last thing you need at the other end is a run snob saying quick singles are dumb. That sort of a partner is basically saying they don't care about you or the team. What's the bet they'd be keen for their own singles when on strike, especially facing a challenging over.
I think you've missed the point and taken off into a tangent

I'm responding to other people's comments as well as your meaningless concept of "unwarranted runs". You're not the only person on forum you know.
Well that's why run-outs and having the ball crash on your stumps is so hilarious. They're not exactly success stories.
Pujara made a bad judgement call and Kohli could have stopped him.

Unfortunately that isn't addressing the question.
Don't understand what you mean. Are you responding to me or not ?

No I'm responding to others. That's why I quoted your post.
