kruiser Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 First - congrats to bangbros - a job well done! http://www.indiancricketfans.com/images/smilies/laughing/a013.gif Now a question to fellow ICFers - i remember reading some time ago that the run-out rule was changed to make it more common-sense oriented in that if a batsman has grounded the bat once, after that even if it bounces up he is considered home. Jordan slid his bat in and then it turned and bounced up from the ground. At the time of bails being displaced, no part of the bat was touching the ground, but didn't he make his ground earlier?
kruiser Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 mods - please merge with the other thread - sorry didnt see that earlier. Velu - yes, and similar calls have been made to OZ and NZL as well. :--D:five:

The rule is that if a batsman enters the crease once with any part of his body then he is considered in.
rajmarie Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 The rule is that if a batsman enters the crease once with any part of his body then he is considered in. Just like a catch...until you are in control of it...its not a catch....here the bat & his dive can be considered not in control. That's why they always look for if its in air. In the end...IMO it was the correct call. the batsman bat was in the air.

Have to agree with the decision. I was focusing on the handle, but the glove was making the handle and the bat raised. Just like this Misba run-out, he was in the crease for a few secs, but jumped in the air to avoid getting hit by the ball and was ruled out. Zw5aCEY1E24
addicted4444 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Good decision by the ump, and a brave one at that. Personally, even though I'm pretty sure Jordan was out, I would have ruled not out because anyone arguing with you can be shut up with the "benefit of doubt to the batsman" cop out. Good to see the ump making an actual decision instead of taking the easy way out.
