Laws of Cricket
Permalink Closed

To prevent further howlers, DDCA umprires, please update yourselves with Law 29 of the MCC Laws of Cricket, as amended in October 2010, which states:

Law 29 (Batsman out of his ground)

MCC logo1. When out of his ground
(a) A batsman shall be considered to be out of his ground unless his bat or some part of his person is grounded behind the popping crease at that end.
(b) Notwithstanding (a) above, if a running batsman, having grounded some part of his foot behind the popping crease, continues running further towards the wicket at that end and beyond, then any subsequent total loss of contact with the ground of both his person and his bat during his continuing forward momentum shall not be interpreted as being out of his ground.

It should be clear from this that once having entered the crease with his foot OR having ground his bat, which may then pop up, a player is deemed to have made his ground/crease and is therefor NOT OUT!!!

Woof, not so much upset as incredulous.

Stump, there is no more to explain. You were there (or had you left or were not watching).

Nice co-incidence, because I was going to suggest that the next time you see the fielder (Spanna) who affected the "run out" with his throwt what he thought of the decision!

 What now you insinuate that I lied about leaving. pfffft couldn't give a continental.  I locked the umpires room as they took the field , handed back the keys to canteen and left.  If you have something to say about the decision give the full facts, persons involved, actions by each and your opinion.

Cant believe he called them umprires.
Anyway while you have the book open, try "Spirit of Cricket - Preamble", front of book, I would suggest very few players have even read it, let alone abide by it, interesting reading, would make the game better for all, that is all, Bula

iI hope when all theese players who critise umpires retire ( and lets face it some should have retired long ago ) take up umpiring because you seem to have a high opion of your ability to do it

Stump, you have completely misread what I was alluding to when I worte about a ''co-incidence''. The co-incidence was the fact that you mentioned the name ''Spannar"", because that was who I was going to refere you to as he was the first of the Doveton boys to tell the batsman that he was ''stiff mate to be given out''... and he was the fielder who threw the ball in.

I was not insinuating anything about you etc etc. You must have some sort of hang-up or guilty conscience.

You sure glovesy? When I spoke to spanna half an hour after that run out I said to him he looked like he was in by a meter and he said oh really I thought he was out.

well thats what the batsman told me was said soon after he took his pads off (and reiterated today) and certainly, from the perspective of an onlooker who was watching Spannar closely after witnessing the ''run-out'' to guage his reaction until the time he spoke to the batsman as he trudged off, Spannar's whole demeanour appeared conciliatory and far, far from being an aggresive farewell that the great Doves man is capable of when he feels a batsman is a malingerer.

However, notwithstanding what Spannar said/says, I and 25-30 others standing side-on to the crease know what we saw as it was not a matter of millimetres or centimetres-- that would be stupid to judge from the boundary -- but ''in'' by a good margin. If it had been a close call a few biased mutterings would have been heard, but in this case it was soo obvious the batsman had made his ground, which made it a howler.

Woofa, I forgot to compliment you in my earlier post on your corroborative judgment (I said to him he looked like he was in by a meter), which tallied with what all those standing/sitting side-on saw. What Spannar said/says is a side-show to what we all saw and what was the core of what began this thread.
