Pristine traditions of cricket on fair and unfair play, when is the last time you have witnessed it?

Question

Law 42: Fair and unfair play - the umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. It contains an override of the laws of cricket: of either umpire considers an action that is not covered by the laws to be unfair, he intervenes and will call the ball dead if the ball is in play.

Distracting the opposition

If a member of the fielding side deliberately distracts or attempts to distract the batsman on strike while he is preparing to receive or receiving a delivery, the umpire immediately declares the ball to be dead. The umpire also informs the fielding captain of the incident. The batsman may not be dismissed from the delivery, which must be repeated. If this happens again in the innings the same procedure is followed, but the batting team is awarded five penalty runs too.
