***Official*** England in India 2016/17

[Daemon]

Not been a great match for fielding has it

 

[vcs]

England returning the compliments we gave them.

 

[Howe_zat]

Fuuuuuck

He did all the hard work by getting to it

 

[vcs]

That really was a sitter.

 

[Stapel]

Diving forward to the ground is never making a catch easier. He should have stepped forward! Anyway, too bad for the match.

 

[fredfertang]

Give Rashid a bowl ffs

 

[MW1304]

Never seen Broad miss one like that before.

Any chance for a real wobble probably gone with that.

 

[wpdavid]

They've scored 26 of the last 30 balls. Any chance they're going for it?

If they are, they' haven't told Pujara yet.

 

[GIMH]

Fuuuuuck

He did all the hard work by getting to it

He was in control of it IMO

Yes I am going to do that all series

 

[wpdavid]

Give Rashid a bowl ffs

I really don't understand why Ansari's bowling ahead of him. Although Cook might point out the dropped catch, tbf.

 

[Shri]

If a batsman's hand is not in contact with the bat and if he gloves it to a fielder, its not out, right? But if that happens in line with the stumps, can he be out LBW?

 

[Burner]

Bowl Rashid. Come on!

 

[Stapel]

If a batsman's hand is not in contact with the bat and if he gloves it to a fielder, its not out, right? But if that happens in line with the stumps, can he be out LBW?

I assume it would!

 

[vcs]

Yeah, Ansari hasn't looked threatening despite that chance, which was a pretty ordinary shot TBH. He's probably one for the future, but England should get Rashid or even Stokes on.

 

[wpdavid]

If a batsman's hand is not in contact with the bat and if he gloves it to a fielder, its not out, right? But if that happens in line with the stumps, can he be out LBW?

First bit's certainly right.
Second option sounds like it should be out for handling the ball rather than LBW.

 

[Compton]

If a batsman's hand is not in contact with the bat and if he gloves it to a fielder, its not out, right? But if that happens in line with the stumps, can he be out LBW?

Yep.

Any part of the body not touching the bat that prevents the ball hitting the stumps.

 

[Shri]

Hope Vijay tons up again and bags the MotM award at least.

 

[Howe_zat]

If a batsman's hand is not in contact with the bat and if he gloves it to a fielder, its not out, right? But if that happens in line with the stumps, can he be out LBW?

Yep.

Law 36

"and (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat, the striker intercepts the ball, either full pitch or after pitching, with any part of his person,"

 

[Shri]

First bit's certainly right.
Second option sounds like it should be out for handling the ball rather than LBW.

Its not like like the batsman's grabbing at the ball, I mean accidentally.

 

[wpdavid]

Its not like like the batsman's grabbing at the ball, I mean accidentally.

Sure. Howezat's probably nailed this one.
