The obvious and straightforwRID answer is that they should "no- ball", the bowler, as they would for throwing or any unfair delivery.
Complex Procedure:
This solution has been rejected by the draftsmen of the new rule "on the rather slight ground that it would still be possible, after "no- ball" had been called, for the batsman to run himself out. A more complex procedure is there- fore recommended. The umpire will first warn the offending bow- Jer, and draw his captain's atten- tion to unfair attack; then, if the offence is repeated, he will call "dend ball" and "ask" the cap- sain to take the bowler off and keep him off for the rest of the in- ninga. It is not clear what, hap- Dens if the captain refuses to take the bowler off, and this is the crux of the problem., ..
