You are the umpire - ICF game


Recommended Posts

A fielder chase a ball to a long boundary, by the time he gets to the ball he hears a team mate shout out the batsmen have already completed 4 runs and are on their way for the 5th. Without hesitating, he nudges the ball over the rope with his foot, hoping for a four to limit the damage. What do you do?
Give EIGHT runs to the batting side, 4 for the boundary, 4 for the overthrow not nine because the 5th run had not be completed.
rainy day got it correct, but im beginning to suspect he has this book, because all his answers are suspiciously precise.
nah don't have the book, just seen a lot of this stuff happen in matches every now and then. Like the dead ball one even happened in the recent Pak vs SL series. Plus i really have great curiosity about cricket, my dream job would be a cricket analyst.

Signal a boundary. These are not overthrows, since ball is not thrown to the stumps.

Sorry for the delay in posting more of these, have had a very busy few days Situation #16 A fielder is injured and is replaced by the 12th man. A little while later the wicket keeper gets injured too and leaves the field. Is the 12th man allowed to take the gloves? Prize: $15000 ICF ------------ Situation #17 The first day of a Test match is lost to rain. The side batting first make 450 by lunch on day 3 and then bowl out the opposition for 279. The side with the lead want to enforce the follow-on as the match has become a four day game and they lead by more than 150 runs. Their opponents insist the follow-on mark is still 200. Who is correct? Prize: $20000 ICF ------------ Situation #18 A batsman plays a defensive shot and the ball bounces at his feet, spins back and nudges his off stump. He turns quickly and stops the bail from falling by pressing it down with the bat. What is your decision? Prize: $20000 ICF ------------ Situation #18 A batsman shoulders arms (leaves) to a ball as it passes through to the keeper. The batsman holds a pose and then brings his bat down - but on the way down he clips a bail, which falls off. The ball is in the keeper's gloves. Is he out on appeal? Prize: $35000 ICF ------------ Situation #19 A left arm seamer goes round the wicket to bowl to a right handed batmsan. The keeper moves to the leg side of the stump - near him are a fine leg and a backward square leg. There are now 3 fielders behind square leg on the leg side. What decision do you give? Prize: $25000 ICF Guys remember you need to provide an explanation to your answer and the reason behind the decision to get the full prize. Good luck

Wicketkeeper obviously doesnot count as a fielder so nothing wrong here.

The keeper can place himself wherever he wants. But a smart keeper has no reason to stand outside the leg stump.

Situation #17 First day of the first test of the 2001 Test series between England and Pakistan at Lord's was washed out. Game became a four-day game, and England enforced the follow on after leading by 188 on the first innings. They went on to win by an innings and 9 runs. http://www.cricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63932.html Going by that precedent, the game becomes a four-day game, and the follow on mark becomes 150.

Situation #16 Decision A substitute fielder can field in any position apart from wicket keeper. The wicket keeper must be from the 11 nominated players at the start of the game Congrats rainy day Situation #17 Decision Because the game is reduced to 4 days the follow on total is indeed 150 and not 200. So they can enforce a follow on congrats rainy day Situation #18 Decision If the batsman prevents the bail from being dislodged, he is out due to obstruction. Situation #18 Decision (yes I made 2 of them) The umpire here has to decide whether the ball is dead or not when the bail comes off, in a situation like this most umpires would deem the ball dead and the batsman would be not out Well done Varun Situation #19 Decision Wicket keeper doesn't count as one of the fielders, so nothing wrong there. congrats rainy day

Situation #20 In a tense match, both captains are anxious for a result as a draw is no good to either side. There's rain is due later on. Both sides decide they would like to skip tea. Do you allow it? Prize: $15000 ICF
As far as I know, it was not possible earlier. Umpire did not have the right to reduce break times in any condition. However, it has changed recently after one match came within five minutes of a result and ended in a draw. There was severe criticism following which ICC authorized the field umpires to reduce the break times as long as the captains agreed.
