    The line is there to tell you where you can and can't be when the ball is live. If you move outside it (as batsmen repeatedly do to obtain an unfair advantage), your wicket is forfeit. The concept of warning is archaic nonsense.
    If he has delievered the ball JB would have still been in his crease when the ball left his hand, so the whole incident is wrong, should have been called a dead ball and start again

    That's a function of the way the law is now written. In the old days, the bowler was permitted to pull out of his delivery stride at any point in order to give a warning or run the batsman out.
