UPS v. ECB

Its a draw, they're both cheats.

In 25 years of playing cricket I never understood this one.

It's cheating. End of.
Why is it not "the done thing"

If a bowler a no-ball there is no warning.
If a bowler over steps by 1/2 inch it's a no-ball.
If a bowler bowls a wide there is no warning.

If a batsman is bowled, he isn't told, next time you're out.

If a batsman is run out by 1/2 inch he is out.
If a batsman grounds his bat short of the crease he is called for a short run. He isn't warned. 

Why when a batsman steals a yard is it ungentlemanly not to run him out?
Buttler was warned twice in the game yesterday, what had he to complain about? He was cheating.

It happened once when I was playing. One of our bowers ran a batsman out for backing up too far. There was hell on from the opposition, why?
