"The line is there for a reason, mate."Following Australia's win by an innings and 182 runs, Starc and captain Pat Cummins suggested they were prepared to execute the controversial mankad move if opposing batters continued to take liberties at the non-striker's end."You're allowed to warn them a couple of times, but if they keep taking the mickey...""That's not just taking off before I've bowled; he was a metre down the wicket.
"I had a word to him last night actually because he was doing it yesterday, and then he was half way down to Punt Road when I stopped," Starc said. "I said it again to him and he said, 'I'm not doing it on purpose'. I've got to keep my foot behind the line, so you can at least keep your bat behind the line.
"There's no need for it. I keep saying I'm not going to take the stumps, but you could at least keep your bat behind the line." The left-arm paceman continued to bowl against South Africa at the MCG despite two days earlier suffering tendon damage in the middle finger on his bowling hand.Starc is set to miss the SCG Test but opted to bowl in the third innings in Melbourne to help his team roll the Proteas.During a T20 game in Canberra he warned England captain Jos Buttler to stay in his crease.
Umpire should call it a short run.....cheating is cheating! The ability to run out the batsmen is there for a reason.

Bruised and bleeding Aussies band together for dominant Boxing Day Test victoryWith Mitch Starc and Cam Green battling broken fingers, Australia wraps up a dominant series victory with a crushing defeat of South Africa on the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.

Aust just thrashed the West Indies and Sth Africa. THRASHED them so badly it was boring. Comedic hearing TV and radio commentators trying to make it seem super exciting. Lucky no room for confected non-follow-on enforcement this test.
