It's about time the umpires clamp down on this

And bowlers running on the pitch while we're at it.

The relevance is?

The bowlers get warned. The batsmen don't.

Amazing how yappy a yarpie gets when his team is under pressure.

Fark off. what pressure.

I seem to recall all the Aussies whinging about this after the Cardiff test.

But if you think it's acceptable, carry on.

Aye, all that 'neutral' venue bollocks. Soon put that to bed didn't we. Cool

bowlers get banned(for an innings) even if they INADVERTENTLY yet the batsmen are allowed to do their "gardening".

Batsmen can be warned for it, just like the fielding side can be.

Batsmen who run down the pitch repeatedly can be punished with a five run penalty.

So Ian Bell could potentially make a score of -3?

Sadly not - it gets added to the opposition score. I'm sure he would if he could.
