2:57 the entire ball was ridiculous 😂😂 Full toss from spinner, swing and a miss from the batsman and a petty attempt at catching the ball. They should all have their contracts terminated 😂😂😂😂😂
2:57 I was once playing Sunday league cricket, our off spinner chucks a complete pie of a delivery to the batsman who lolloped a dolly of a catch straight at me at mid-wicket, but I dropped it because I was lighting a cigarette at the time. True story.
That umpire one. I think there is a rule that even if bat is in air but player has already reached the crease, as long as it is not direct hit, it won't be out. 1:59
@@NotSoSmart-ev7bu It does matter. The law that changed was that once the batter has reached the crease with at least one foot, if they continue to run in the same direction, and make no attempt at another run, then both feet being in the air at the same time does not constitute leaving the crease. In this instance, that change was not relevant. However, it's a very tight call. The first frame where the wicket is probably broken, I think part of the shoulder of the bat is past the line - so a good, albeit tight, call in my opinion.
Actually, they've simplified it further: 30.1.2 However, a batter shall not be considered to be out of his/her ground if, in running or diving towards his/her ground and beyond, and having grounded some part of his/her person or bat beyond the popping crease, there is subsequent loss of contact between the ground and any part of his/her person or bat, or between the bat and person. But again, the batter must have already grounded the bat in order to be "automatically" safe. We don't see in that replay if they grounded the bat prior to that. Also, I think I may have seen that clip years ago - before the law was changed. And previously (i.e. when I think this happened), the law was simply whether the batter was grounded at the time the wicket is broken. You could even be run out by jumping off the ground (except to avoid injury) at the wrong time, even well beyond the crease.
@@richjhart I saw one of the match live, and the commentator said that according to new law, if the ball is thrown and it takes off the bails directly, and the opponent has not grounded in the crease, then it's out. However, if the ball does not hits the wicket directly, but goes to keeper's hand, and he takes off the bail, as long as the player is within the crease, whether grounded or not, will be considered not out. I am pretty sure that was how it worked, because one of the player nearly got out due to this reason (It was Ashwin iirc).
@@izzo5027 Since you guys didn't get the joke, the right spelling is "umpire" with a u, not "empire" with an e. *E*mpire means kingdom. Like "Mughal Empire". *U*mpire means a match referee or judge, like this fellow. "Cricket Umpire".
