41.5 Deliberate distraction, deception or obstruction of batter
41.5.1 In addition to 41.4, it is unfair for any fielder wilfully to attempt, by word or action, to distract, deceive or obstruct either batter after the striker has received the ball.

I don't see how "fake fielding" breaches that law, it's not distracting the batsman, which is probably more relevant.

Pretending to pick up the ball and throw it (after you f**ked up fielding) isn't distracting them imo. Possibly deceiving them but that's being a bit precious imo considering mankads are legal because you're deceiving the batsman by "pretending to bowl".

My two bobs worth.

Carn Ireland.

100 to 1 with NZ's bowling attack but you never know. No rain about so they have to score fast here.
