Here's one of such incidents when Australia A's Brad Haddin took two steps behind the stumps while facing a delivery from Shoaib Akhtar.



The ball was eventually called a 'No-ball' by the umpire and a free hit was given.


On the subsequent delivery, Haddin went behind the stumps again but the ball hit the stumps directly. Since it was a free-hit, the Australian batsman couldn't be given out.
