What you snipped suggests that the umpires were advised by the batting
captain that his players would be distracted if Finn knocked over the
wicket. That's corruption simples, and if that did happen as you
report, then there is a job for icc Ronnie and his team.

Hint - if you don't know exactly why the decision was made at mcc
committee, I suggest that you *** up and quit with the shit. You only
make yourself appear more dumb than you try to be.

As a batsman, I completely disagree. I think the disadvantage is far greater for the batting side...

I don't see it - I think this uncomplicates the law.
