'Stay in your crease, it's not that hard': Mitchell Starc's warning to South African batter

| @indiablooms | Dec 29, 2022, at 05:44 pm

Running out the non-striker, who has left the crease before the ball is being bowled, is no longer an unfair dismissal but completely adheres to the new laws of cricket.

Australia pace bowler Mitchell Starc was caught warning South African batter Theunis de Bruyn, who had left the crease while the former was about to release the ball.

Starc stopped, turned around and warned Bruyn of dismissal in the middle of the day four of the Australia-South Africa Boxing Day Test.

In angry words, the Aussie bowler said, "Stay in your crease, it's not that hard. Laws are there for a reason..."

Meanwhile, Australia won both the second Test as well as the series by an innings and 182 runs.
