Appealing when a player is obviously not out.
Appealing for longer than is really necessary.
Fast short-pitched balls liable to injure the receiving batsman (to be fair, bowlers are often warned about this one).

I smiled as I read the entry, being fairly new to cricket and a longtime baseball viewer (not really a fan anymore). The underlying idea that "it's just not cricket" is appealing to me, but most baseball fans would find it wimpy. Winning trumps all, and whatever you can get away with is admired.

"Appealing for longer than is really necessary"

In baseball, it is not unusual for the manager, after a close call and typically when his team is behind late in a big game, to storm onto the field and get in the umpire's face, kick dirt on his shoes, rant, rave, spit, etc., and finally get thrown out of the game ... which was his goal all along to "fire up" his losing team. As the manager eventually leaves the dugout as ordered, sometimes they find a folding chair and throw it onto the field. I think everybody involved knows what's going on, but its become a tactic expected by the fans. Which is partly why I am no longer a fan.

Even in football (soccer - not the American version) that would certainly result in a touchline ban (that is, the manager would be barred from his normal spot in the dugout, but could watch the game from the stands with the rest of the crowd).
