Q: Bowlers get in trouble when they follow through down the wicket into the danger zone and scuff the wicket.

David Warner is batting so far out of the crease in the 2nd innings of the 2nd Ashes test and must be close to the same danger zone.

Can batters get in trouble for scuffing the wicket by batting so far out of the crease?
A: The protected area is not all about the bowlers. If the umpires consider that the striker/s are deliberately moving into the protected area taking guard etc. they can apply the warning process and ultimately impose penalty runs if they persist. You can’t have batters potentially damaging the pitch and thereby give their bowlers a later advantage.
