It's a very odd part of the game that should really be addressed. On one hand, it's all good bleating tradition and spirit of the game etc. but what if it's a single required off the last ball? Cool to start a few extra feet down the pitch? Not really. The other hand is you don't wanna see bowlers constantly stopping to look for a run out, especially when time wasting is beneficial to the bowling side. One warning then no more works most of the time but again, in a last over scenario maybe not so much.
