You are the umpire - ICF game

[rainy day]

That would come under unfair fielding such as taking off a sweater and using that to catch ball. Hence 5 penalty runs are awarded to the opposition and the ball would be considered dead. It would also be a breach of spirit of cricket.

Not out. As soon as wicket keeper touches the helmet, its dead ball Ithink

Give the batting side 5 runs and declare the catch invalid. Treat it same as ball hitting helmet.

[Kohum]

Situation #5 The helmet of a close fielder has been discarded behind the wicket keeper. The next ball the batsman edges a ball high above the keeper, who stands on and jumps off the helmet to claim the catch. What decision do you give? Prize: $30000 ICF

If while the catch is taken and ball is in the hands of wicket keeper while he is on the helmet, it's 5 runs added to the batsman. if while the catch is taken, keeper is in the air completely and lands on the soil it should be out.

Use of foriegn object makes the catch invalid. Team gets 5 runs plus whatever they ran.

[gult]

Out, because the ball didn't hit the helmet and so no penalty runs will be awarded to the batting team

[Sachinism]

If while the catch is taken and ball is in the hands of wicket keeper while he is on the helmet, it's 5 runs added to the batsman. if while the catch is taken, keeper is in the air completely and lands on the soil it should be out.

Correct. Situation #5 Answer As the ball didn't actually strike the helmet itself, it is still live and the catch is legitimate.

Situation #6 A batsman in trying to avoid being hit by a bouncer removes one hand off the bat to protect his face. The ball flicks the glove and is caught by the keeper. What is your decision?

Situation 6 Out. The ball flicked the glove and even if an evasive action was taken, the decision is still out. Situation 7 Carry on with the game as the new batsman has already reached the crease. Situation 8 The tailender is given out as he was the first one to get out. The run out happened later.

#6: It's out. If the ball touches the gloves and keeper catches it, it's out even if those gloves are not in touch with the bat #7: You continue with the game if the batsman who got out has crossed the boundary line, otherwise you call him to the crease declaring him not out

[zubinpepsi]

Situation 6: Check if its no-ball.... if its a legal ball.. u give the batsman out. cuz when a ball touches the glove n a fielder catches it, it is deemed out.. Situation 7: nothing can be done as the batsman is given out and and he had left the ground. but file a compaint against the player for playign against the spirit of the game.. if he had claimed the catch.. if he hadnt claimed the catch.. do nothing.. Situation 8: you give out for the ones tht the fieldin team claims.. umpire can give out only when a fielding team claims.. so in this case, when the bowler runs out the bastman and claims (provided that he dint claim for the catch), u give runout..

Should be given out. Because run out happened after the ball is dead

[niceguy_789]

Situation 6: Out, because as long as the ball hits the glove, it should be given out regardless of his hand coming off the bat. Situation 7: Unless, the batsman given out hadn't left the ground, then he could be called back but once the new batsman is in, the decision can not be reversed. Situation 8: Although, the bowler didn't appeal for the catch and if his teammates did, then the batsmen is out. Then, it doesn't matter if runner is out or not. If there was no appeal from anyone on the catch, then the decision has to be taken whether the runner was back in the crease or not, so he could possibly given out.

Situation #6 A batsman in trying to avoid being hit by a bouncer removes one hand off the bat to protect his face. The ball flicks the glove and is caught by the keeper. What is your decision? Prize: $10000 ICF

NO as the glove was not touching the bat and it was to avoid injury so can't be ruled as handled the ball as well.

Situation #7 1st slip takes a very low diving catch and the batsman walks off without waiting for the umpire. A new batsman has arrived at the crease and the fielder approaches you (umpire) and informs you the ball bounced first. What do you do? Prize: $20000 ICF

He has left the field, thus the decision cannot be revoked. He's out.

Situation #8 A spin bowler takes a clean return catch off a tail-end batsman. He doesn't appeal for the catch, but instead throws the ball onto the stumps at the non-strikers end where there is the opening batsman and appeals for the run out. What decision do you give? Prize: $30000 ICF

The batsman caught will be out, because the fielding side can't choose what they appeal for. They asked the umpire to make a decision and CATCH takes precedent over runout.

[Sachinism]

Situation #6 Decision Not out. The hand was not in contact with the bat and therefore it cannot be given out. Well done rainy day Situation #7 Decision If the batsman has crossed the boundary line, he cannot be called back and therefore is given out. Gult had the best answer there Situation #8 Decision The tail-ender is out caught. The umpire must react to the 1st incident, in this case the catch. Once the batsmen is out caught, the run out is irrevelant. Well done rahulliverpool

[Sachinism]

Situation #9 A spinner tosses a ball up really slowly, the batsman is tempted and comes down the wicket to hit it up misses it. Fearing he will be stumped he makes an effort to get back to the crease, seeing this the wicket keeper reaches forward to collect the ball in front of the stumps so he could stump the batsman out. What is the correct decision and the reasoning behind it? Prize: $50000 ICF (you'll only receive the full amount if you mention everything I am looking for)

[zubinpepsi]

its not out... the keeper must collect the ball in line or beyond the stumps to make a batsman stumped out. so if he collects the ball before the stumps.. its not out..

[gult]

Not out. You can only stump the batsman out after the ball passes the stumps( unless it touches the batsman)
