Before the first  warning, we told the umpires that he was taking too much of a lead and  then he was warned again. We had to do that, because they kept doing it. "We analysed our game after Lord's. They took 22 twos in the last 12  overs. Ravi Bopara and him ran riot. And most of the time they were  taking starts that are not legal by the written laws. We just wanted to  make sure we got a fair chance. We warned them and we warned the  umpires, but they didn't listen to us, so we had to take the right  steps. "We always try to play in the right spirit, but if the other team is not  playing in the right spirit and not going with the law, then  unfortunately we had to take the law into our hands. It was the third  time. It is fair enough, I think. We all need to play by the rules. "If the other sides are not going by the rules, then they're not playing by the spirit, so what can you do?" - mahelapatta answer ekak dila tiyenne..<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
