Cricketer Completely Loses Cool After Being Run Out At Non-Striker End, Throws Bat, Kicks Gloves And Helmet In Viral Video
The batter even directed an angry rant at the umpire after getting out.
While the run-out at the non-striker's end when the batter is backing up before the ball has been released by the bowler's hands has been deemed a legal form of dismissal by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), there still remain several cricketers, former cricketers, expert, pundits and fans who have objections with that form of dismissal.
However, during the Southern Cricket Association First Grade final when a batter was run-out in a similar fashion, he completely lost his cool and behaved contrary to the "spirit of the game" which ironically is what the dimissal has been criticised for.
Claremont’s Jarrod Kaye was visibly angry after he was run-out at the non-striker's end by Harry Booth as New Norfolk emerged victoroious by 49 runs. As soon as the umpire declared the batter out, the batter who was dismissed was not all pleased and threw his bat away in disgust. In bizarre scenes, he kicked his bat and helmet as he made his way out of the playing area. He even directs an angry rant at the umpire but eventually has to walk back.
The video of the same has surfaced on social media.

Here is what the MCC Law Says.
38.3 Non-striker leaving his/her ground early
38.3.1 At any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be Run out if he/she is out of his/her ground. In these circumstances the non-striker will be out Run out if he/she is out of his/her ground when his/her wicket is broken by the bowler throwing the ball at the stumps or by the bowler’s hand holding the ball, whether or not the ball is subsequently delivered.
38.3.1.1 The instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball is defined as the moment the bowler’s arm reaches the highest point of his/her normal bowling action in the delivery swing.
38.3.1.2 Even if the non-striker had left his/her ground before the instant at which the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, once the bowler has reached that point it is no longer possible for the bowler to run out the non-striker under this Law.
38.3.2 If the ball is not delivered and there is an appeal,
the umpire shall make his/her decision on the Run out. If it is not out, he/she shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as possible.
the ball shall not count as one in the over.
38.3.3 If the ball is delivered and there is an appeal,
the umpire shall make his/her decision on the Run out.
if the non-striker is not dismissed, the ball remains in play and Law 21.6 (Bowler breaking wicket in delivering ball) shall apply.
if the non-striker is dismissed, the ball shall not count as one in the over.
38.4 Which batter is out
The batter out in the circumstances of 38.1 is the one whose ground is at the end where the wicket is broke. See Laws 25.6 (Dismissal and conduct of a batter and his/her runner) and 30.2 (Which is a batter’s ground).
