I think the law is justified and not at all against the spirit of the game. A batsman must be careful not to obstruct the field. Many batsmen do that cleverly by coming between the throw and the wicket when they are running and I think thats fine. But stopping a throw with the bat when the batsman is out of the crease is something avoidable and any umpire would raise the finger to an appeal. And I think an appeal is justified since it is within the law and whether the attempt is intentional or not is upto the umpires ti decide.

I think Inzamam should stop complaining and accept it as it was his mistake. He is the captain and complaining about something that happened within the laws is not a good example.
