A batsman can be of lbw even if the ball has not hit his leg: for example, a batsman who is hit on the head could be lbw, although this situation is extremely rare. However, the hitter cannot become lbw if the ball hits on the side of the stumps` leg (“outer leg stump”)[Notes 4], even if the ball would otherwise have hit the wickets. [8] Similarly, a batsman who has tried to hit the ball with his bat cannot become lbw if the ball hits him outside the stump line. [9] However, on some cricket shots, such as the switch shot or reverse sweep, the hitter switches between a right-handed and left-handed posture. This affects the position of the offside and the side of the leg, which are determined by posture. The law explicitly states that offside is determined by the attitude of the batsman when the bowler begins his run. [3] [10] [11] According to the Convention, dismissal decisions are mainly made by the players – so if the dismissal is obvious, the batsman will voluntarily leave the pitch without the referee having to dismiss him. If the batsman and outfielder disagree on a dismissal, the outfielder must appeal to the referee, who will then decide if the batter is absent. In competitive cricket, many difficult decisions and LBW decisions are left to the referee; When a drummer acknowledges that in such cases he is outside and leaves without waiting for the referee`s decision, this is called “walking” and is considered an honorable but controversial act. [4] No batsman has hit the ball twice in Test Cricket. In doing so, the ICC appears to have dismissed a key point on the bullet tracking proposed by MIT examiners – that height estimates are less certain than width estimates. The new rules assume that height and width estimates are just as safe. The first known written version of the Cricket Acts of 1744[13] does not contain an lbw rule.
At the time, English cricket batsmen used curved bats, making it unlikely that they could stand right in front of the wickets. However, a clause in the laws of 1744 gave referees the power to take action if the drummer was “unjust to strike.” [1] The cricket bats were modified to become straighter in the following years so that the batsmen could stand closer to the wickets. As a result, some players deliberately began to prevent the ball from hitting the wickets. Such tactics were criticized by writers and a revision of the laws in 1774 decided that the batsman was absent if he intentionally prevented the ball from hitting the wicket with his leg. [1] However, critics noted that the referees found themselves with the difficult task of interpreting the drummers` intentions. [14] The 1788 version of the Act no longer required referees to consider the drummer`s intention; Now, a batsman was lbw when he stopped a ball that “threw straight ahead.” Another clarification of the law took place in 1823, when a condition was added that “the ball must be delivered in a straight line to the wicket”. [14] The ambiguity of the wording became evident when two prominent referees disagreed on whether the ball should move in a straight line from the bowler to the wicket or between the wickets at both ends of the field. In a 2012 interview, he said: “Referees may have realised that if they hand out someone and DRS shows they weren`t out, their decision can be corrected. So I guess they might have the courage to hold on to their beliefs a little more and take a less conservative approach to issuing the batsman.
I think if we`re completely honest, DRS influenced the game a little more than we thought. [47] An incoming drummer is “slowed down” if it intentionally takes him more than three minutes to be ready to face the next delivery (or to be at the other end if he doesn`t hit). [22] If a non-failing drummer is not ready after a break from play, he can also be assigned as a waiting period in the call. In case of extremely long delays, the referees may lose the match against one of the two teams. So far, this method of wicketing has never existed in the history of Test cricket and there have only been five occasions in all forms of first-class cricket. [23] In cricket, Leg vor Wicket (LBW) is one of the ways in which a batsman can be dismissed. A referee will exclude a batsman from LBW in a number of circumstances, which mainly include the ball hitting the batsman`s body (usually the leg) if it would otherwise have hit the batsman`s wicket (here refers to stumps and sureties).
