Law 41.5 - Deliberate distraction, deception or obstruction of batsman
It is unfair for any fielder wilfully to attempt, by word or action, to distract, deceive or obstruct either batsman after the striker has received the ball.
The penalty for such an offence is 5 penalty runs.
Dwayne, see Ben’s post below. I was always lead to believe that Aussies had a decent sense of humour.
What’s with all the pofaced pious pontificating? :shocked:
A being a joke don’t make it right. Why was the rule made in first place?

No it doesn't. The rule is against fake throwing of the ball if you don't have it, which in turn stops the batsman getting a run, that's what Queensland got done for.
Sure this contravenes the rules. Qld got picked up for this and were awarded a 5 run penalty against them. Had it been Paine or Wade, the English media would have been going off their trolley.

Googling Thesaurus is so helpful when trying to recover from spelling such a simple word wrong.

Calm down sweetheart. It’s a joke, Smith fell for it, Bairstow gave him a smile. Bet your fun at the office party. :laughing:
