Speaking as a bowler.. I’d give a warning first. But I’d only do it if it was blatant. Nothing like Dean who was never taking more than a few inches here and there.
Speaking as a captain (sometimes)… I’d remove the appeal. And then day but if you do it again, it will be out.
Speaking as a fan… I think it’s a poor way to end a game. It’s just not cricket. Especially seeing as how close it had got. I actually think the worst part about it is the way they celebrate as though it’s a proper wicket from good bowling. It’s a cheap way to win. Yes it’s in the rules but it’s not really cricket that so many of us know and love. |  |

The only thing with this is that batters would know they could always back up against fast bowlers as they can't stop quickly enough to turn and stump them out. I think a better approach would be for it to be umpired much like a no-ball. If the batter steps out of their crease before the ball is bowled they lose a run and have to face the ball again. |
Think that is a fair solution, but it would add yet more video back and forth to keep tabs on it.
Just keep the bat in the crease, or you could get out seems to the best idea.

Here's Courtney Walsh bowling the last ball of the match for West Indies v Pakistan in the World Cup in 1987. Pakistan needed 2 runs to win. Walsh could have won the match with a Mankad, but instead chose to give the non-striker a warning. When he bowled, the ball was slapped for 4 & West Indies lost, probably costing them a place in the semi finals & a shot at glory. |  |

Speaking as a bowler, I'd be so focused on delivering the ball to even register whether the non-striker is out of their ground.
I've had it before where the skipper at mid-off has noticed it and given a warning, but I'd be very uneasy in doing it unless we were desperate for wickets. It's within the rules but a prick move, don't think many of the opposition would want to share a pint with you in the pavilion after the game if you did that. |  |

Hmm..unlikely in club cricket, unless you play in one of the gritty Northern leagues where they take their sport very seriously.
However, in a tight international one day match, where every run is considered vital, some players might have a different view. | |

That's more a case of don't bowl a really sh!t ball when they need 4 to win.*
*Courtney Walsh is one of the top 10 ever best test fast bowlers. Seriously good match winner. |  | | |
