Trichromatic Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Byes - rewards batting team for poor keeping if keeper misses the ball, or if bowler sprays it too far for keeper. Sometimes luck if ball turns/moves a lot. But mostly it rewards batting team for mistake of opposition. Same can be said about other rules of the cricket. However leg byes - I don't get it. Why should batting team get runs, if they are not able to hit the ball and it is deflected off their pads?
vvvslaxman Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Not just leg, head any body part of the body as long as it is not intentional. Basically until the ball is dead you can take runs. IN order to remove leg byes you have to declare the ball dead as soon as it hits any part of the body.

Jungnu Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) When umpire gives LBW out but batsman is actually not out on review, the run taken by the batsman is not added. But if the umpire does not raise his finger on LBW appeal run is awarded to the batsman. This is another problem with leg bye rule Edited November 7, 2021 by Jungnu

SRT100 Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 Still remember fondly how Bangladesh tried to steal a bye to tie the Asia Cup Final and Superman Dhoni ran out the batsmen. vvvslaxman and New guy 1 1

Trichromatic Posted November 7, 2021 Author Posted November 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, rkt.india said: Why batsmen are given out LBW? Because he is stopping the ball from hitting stumps by his legs, when he should do that with bat. He made the mistake and he is penalised for that. What is mistake of fielding side when leg byes are given?

Balancing part is batsmen getting run off the gloves also. If gloves are off the handle and ball brushes it, then batsman is not out as per rules. Leg byes isn't balancing part of that.

Basically all rules are part of the mistakes and skills of the players. What's the skill and mistake invovled in leg bye and umpire giving it out or not out. Why should it affect the score? Just illogical. Jungnu 1
AuxiliA Posted November 7, 2021 Posted November 7, 2021 If leg byes are removed there will be lots of controversies. People will argue whether the ball hit the bat at every instance. Lot more headache for the umpires. Current rules are much easier to enforce.
