Thought so. It's good enough for their Test side so it's obviously going to filter down. Stay in ya crease ya whinging pommie bastard, or something along those lines.

From the laws of the game:
20.1.1 The ball becomes dead when
20.1.1.1 it is finally settled in the hands of the wicket-keeper or of the bowler.
20.1.2 The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.
20.2 Ball finally settled
Whether the ball is finally settled or not is a matter for the umpire alone to decide.
So essentially it probably should have been a dead ball but it's ultimately up to the umpires decision.
I don't get why any players get caught out in this manner though. I remember back in school my coach always made a point that until the ball was clearly 100% dead you never leave your crease. If you want to rehearse shots like this then take a few steps back behind the crease first, so there can be zero chance of you leaving your ground while the ball is still alive.
