Getting treated by the umpires as a stager because that's what he used to do. I said it 5 years ago that he needed to cut that shit out otherwise it would cost him in the long run....look what happens now, wouldn't get a free kick even if he was murdered on field

So Lindsay gives up a 50 for not coming back on the mark within the allotted 0.7 seconds. Hill wanders within a couple of metres of Mason Wood having a set shot and the umpire politely asks him to stop doing that. I guess they can say that proves it isn't racism.
Absurd.

That was quite amazing. Hill sauntered right up to him. Instead of applying the 50 Hill got a polite request to move on.

He is the proverbial boy who cried wolf. Cautionary tale for your kids.

This might be unpopular but they were both correct decisions. Someone was already on the mark when Thomas came in but he went 2 or 3 metres too close. He effectively ran across the mark, 50 was the right decision.

With the Wood one, the umpire called time off and set the mark and took the players on the side away from Wood. That's what happens with every set shot from an angle.
