BARNES OUT
Well that's an awful way for that to end.
You hate to criticise a man who played an innings like that but that was truly abysmal.
That honestly should have been 5 penalty runs to Pakistan there.
You are talking about the fake out by QdK?That honestly should have been 5 penalty runs to Pakistan there.
Yep. Clearly an attempt to distract and/or deceive the batsman which is illegal under the fake fielding law. 5 penalty runs and not out. Umpire's forgotten the law there.You are talking about the fake out by QdK?
And from his reaction to it, seemed to have been deliberate. Awful behavior.Yep. Clearly an attempt to distract and/or deceive the batsman which is illegal under the fake fielding law. 5 penalty runs and not out. Umpire's forgotten the law there.
Add that too and this game suddenly is a whole lot closer.Well if you want to include that what about the ball hitting Bavuma hat that was 5 runs penalty also.
I mean "awful" is overegging it, but it's a bizarre miss from the umpires. Seems as obvious a case of where the fake fielding law should be applied as you can get, it's not like QdK was being subtle about his intent.And from his reaction to it, seemed to have been deliberate. Awful behavior.
You might want to read up on the rules before slanting a playerThat was 5 runs ball clearly hit bavuma hat, what the umpires doing sleeping
Yeah no that doesn't get included.Well if you want to include that what about the ball hitting Bavuma hat that was 5 runs penalty also.
Thing is, QdK did say bowler bowler and it can be considered to be a shout out to the fielder, though obviously when he was pointing to the bowler after the throw had come in, it was definitely an attempt to deceive. I am guessing QdK had done enough to get away on a technicality of the original call there. I mean, I think he seeded enough doubt even though I do think it was clearly a deception play now.Yep.

Does it apply to the hat? I thought it was only helmets?Well if you want to include that what about the ball hitting Bavuma hat that was 5 runs penalty also.
Was not referring to the umpires with the awful remark. Had this happened to an English batsman half of county cricket's pros would be fighting the internet war next dayI mean "awful" is overegging it, but it's a bizarre miss from the umpires. Seems as obvious a case of where the fake fielding law should be applied as you can get, it's not like QdK was being subtle about his intent.
Right, it's the fact that the ball had already been thrown which makes it really obvious that it's an attempt to deceive, and should have at least have been looked at.Thing is, QdK did say bowler bowler and it can be considered to be a shout out to the fielder, though obviously when he was pointing to the bowler after the throw had come in, it was definitely an attempt to deceive.

At first I thoght he was genuinely calling the throw to be to the bowler. It was only on the replay I figured out he did that.
It's more that the hat wasn't placed on the ground deliberately beforehand, it just fell off his head while taking a catch. No one cares about that.Does it apply to the hat? I thought it was only helmets?
Well yeah but "on the level of English cricket journos" is not a standard the rest of us should be holding ourselves to.Was not referring to the umpires with the awful remark. Had this happened to an English batsman half of county cricket's pros would be fighting the internet war next day
