Worst rule in cricket.Law 41.5 states that: "it is unfair for any fielder wilfully to attempt, by word or action, to distract, deceive or obstruct either batsman after the striker has received the ball". The umpires have the discretion to award five penalty runs if they determine that such deception is wilful.
Labuschagne missed the ball but jumped up and faked threw so the batsmen went back.
