Fake Fielding

"Prince to Ismail : “Take them!” yells Outridge rather cheekily because the ball hasn’t even been fielded yet. None the less it fools the batsmen and they settle for one run less."

Is this not Unfair Play under 41.5.?

not strictly speaking a bug I guess, but my team should have been awarded 5 penalty runs.

The commentary is just a dressing as well, not sure if the umpire would say much in real life tbh

I disagree tbh, it is a legitimate rule as of a few years ago, and players have been penalised for it. I think it may be better to just remove that line.

Whilst I disagree, I will remove it in case others find it so
