there is a video going around of some Indians pulling off a baseball like trick play where the keeper pretends to let it go thru for a couple of byes, the slips fielder jogs toward to boundary to chase, the batter proceeds to run, when the keeper suddenly stumps him.
i was thinking awesome, why isnt this seen much, but browsing down the comments people mention that this would result in 5 runs, and is 'going against the spirit of the game'.
is this true? and if there was a minor example, ie not on purpose but keeper genuinely couldn't see the ball but ended up finding it in your pad/ on the ground, would the umpire just call it a dead ball, or would be up to his discretion.
sounds like would be a cool play, but i guess cricket is a gentlemans game and would be/is frowned upon...
