There is no need for bowlers to get in a batsman's face after dismissing them, they look like dicks when they do it, not sure it's worth a suspension though unless they do something really bad like make contact or use abusive language.
I am too
Coz the rest of us have no idea what you're on about

Do you find there is someone that needs help in every conversation you take part in?

Sounds like a typical Starc over
I tried, but the discussion got personal and I'm not interested those kind of digs. I'd rather talk about the cricket on a cricket board.

Played cricket with Roo Yardley and he could give a good send off in the right circumstances so showing me one of his wickets proves nothing. Absolute character and great guy but you know nothing about him. You are being a try hard for the sake of it. Try again Sherb's. This one fell short.
How Sad!
Why are they bad behaviour? Are you serious?
Running at a player and screaming in his face is clearly bad behaviour. I cannot believe you actually asked that question.
Come on mate, a good send off has been a part of cricket for as long as I've watched it

Still s**t, serving it up to a bloke who has no right of reply
Rabada probably deserved the ban, but still would have preferred him to play.
This series is shaping up to be as special as the last SA series and I would have preferred everyone’s best available to be in the squad. Morkel’s on the brink of retirement and Steyn is broken so there’s probably a good chance for the Aussies to get the upper hand - would’ve been better to do it with the no 1 test bowler in the world still in the squad.

When was that? I didn't see it.

It is, or at least it used to be, accepted that if you have anything to say to a batsman, do it whilst he's still at the crease. That way he has a chance to belt the hell out of your bowling. It's generally accepted that giving a batsman lip service after he's been dismissed is akin to cowardice. What would the game look like if a batsman was dismissed, the bowler gives an almighty send off and the batsman decides to respond to the bowler?
I'm not sure what level of cricket you've played, but the best time not to talk to a batsman is just after he's been dismissed. I've had my head bitten off by a batsman for merely asking him whether he was caught or LBW. Batsmen can be rather nasty pieces of work straight after they've been dismissed, and the very last thing they need is the bowler screaming in his face and making physical contact with him.
It's simply not a good idea, no matter what the motivation. It could become volatile very quickly, and that's something we don't need.
Many people are suggesting he should have been, myself included. I'm not anti-Warner, nor am I anti-Rabada, I just deplore that kind of behaviour on the cricket field.
Starc's never made contact with the batsman though.
Looking at that photo, Warner wasn't giving anybody a send off. That might explain why he didn't get pinged for doing a send off.
That was the first test? Lyon got pinged for dropping the ball near ADDV. Warner had words to the bloke who ran him out but theres no rules against sledging somebody. There are rules against screaming in somebody's face though. You're reaching here.

Thanks for the random Starc fact
Hardly random outside the context of the argument of whether or not Starc does the same thing Rabada does.

Ironic. He could save Umpires from disregarding the rules, but not himself.Am I the only one who finds this hilarious from a poster with your reputation?

Neither my post nor the one I quoted referenced Rabada
