Listening to the law, that decision is a joke. Nothing to do with whether he would be run out or not, the bloke put his hand up and attempted to catch the ball.

That's really suss.

Hometown Harry decision.

I reckon the umpires subconsciously decided to avoid the shitfight that would have occured by giving that out.

Tubby just read the Rules, he's very lucky IMO. Hope it sends Kleenex Kohli of the deep end again though :lol:

Third umpire didn't make the call

Yeah just heard that. Apparently the third ump gives them feedback on what happened. I'm not sure what else he could have said other than his hand went up and deflected the ball. I'm not sure what Bowden was doing, but then again he's a fairly ordinary umpire.

Just read the law out. Doesn't meet the definition for obstructing the field, but surely that is handling the ball.

Handling the ball I believe is more if you stop the ball hitting the wicket for a bowled, rather than running between the wickets.

Does it still cover picking the ball up? That's obviously not in the spirit of the game BS but could still be in the laws?

I wonder if Steve Waugh was the last man out handled the ball in tests?

No it's not

if they appeal its out, umpire has no choice

happened in our club game a month or so back, batsman picked up the ball and threw it to the other team, assshole captain appealed and umpire had to give it out, our batsman wanted to fight the whole team

pretty funny in hindsight but our batsman was seeing red when he came off
