Talk:Leg before wicket

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Revised text to add (IMHO) clarity. Added some comment about bat-pad.--Baggie 11:45, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

Definitely better, although maybe not the best it could be yet. So much to do, so little time! dmmaus 22:09, 13 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Add

Please add:

  1. The unusual dismissal of Sachin during the falling trajectory.
  2. First batsman to be given out using TV replays

[edit] Playing no stroke to balls outside the off

>> to any ball pitched outside off stump even if the batsmen's legs were also outside off stump - which has been put into place in some measure since 1970.

I thought it was added in the 1980 code. Shall I change it if this is correct ? Tintin 00:47, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mistakes

It isn't true that if the ball is going over the stumps it can't be out. It has to be at the correct height.

It also isn't true that the path the ball would have taken after it hits the batsman doesn't count. It is one of the major factors in making a decision. For example, if the ball hits the batsman in front of leg stump but is going past the leg stump, it isn't out.

Both of those two things should be changed. Cheers.

[edit] Semantics

'Cannot' changed to 'should not' which is the term used in the laws of the game. This is not mere semantics, many a batsmen has been given 'out' when the ball has pitched outside leg-stump, been hit with the bat first, going oer the stumps. Franz-kafka 12:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
