LBW'S??...............I think the bigger prob in our comp is that there are too many given. Yes what goes around comes around as in for every bad lbw you get you get a caught behind given not out. But still way too many given IMO. The old rule the batsmen gets the benifit of the doubt seems to have gone out the window.

Ball is deemed to be continuing on the line from which it came. Umpires not to take account of what spin might have been if ball had landed. Old law used to be taking account of spin.
Ball does not do a right angle back to stumps like some cricketers think.
So if point of delivery by bowler is wide of stumps at bowlers end and ball hits even slightly towards leg stump line on the batting crease on the full it will more than likely miss stumps gven that it is deemed to continue on its line.
Best way to test it at training is to set up two boxes 12 inches apart on the batting crease and see if bowlers can bowl between these and hit the stumps without hitting the boxes on the crease line. Damn hard and will show you how hard it is to get an LBW in any circumstances.
good stumpy, players need to learn this as i have been giving out 4 times this year LBW, twice in A grade and twice in masters all by my team mates. when i question them and ask was it 100% going to hit stumps they UMMMM AND ARRRRR.
A few years bk i was given out twice in a match by the same team mate LBW from a r/h bowler going around the wkt....the 2nd one was even after i explained the lbw rule and also saying it is virtually impossible to get an lbw going around the wkt.

Not true Fathertime. If you are caught on the crease with a yoker or a bowler pitching around middle and off with some inswing you can most definatley be plumb LBW. I would get a better grasp on the laws before you preach them on others, the same advise I give to most players in the DDCA.

i did say virtually widey.....playing forward it is near impossible.
