Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread

Back in the day, the done thing was to warn the non-striker first. After that warning it was OK to run the batter out if s/he backed up too far and left the crease (but it would still outrage some cricket “purists”) . I would change the laws of the game to make that former gentlemanly behaviour official. If the non-striker cheats by leaving his/her crease, any bowler can run them out any time in the innings after the batter has been warned.
