Ban this Third umpire!!


Recommended Posts

The rule says, “Any fielder making contact with the ball must either be grounded within the boundary, or his/her last contact with the ground before first touching the ball must have been within the boundary.” With the implementation of these rules, some of the spectacular catches will no longer be given out by the umpires.

This rule isn't really that relevant, the question is just whether Rashid was still in contact with the rope when he caught the ball. Personally I agree with the third umpire that he was in contact with the rope but came off it just before catching the ball.

How is it not relevant?

The rules are relevant for his last contact before the catch automatically rules that a six.
