As far as I'm aware that already is (or was) the rule. That's always how I've interpreted it and seen it interpreted. Basically, once the batsman starts moving, you interpret in favour of the bowler- e.g. the bowler can follow the batsmen, and the wide lines are moved across in accordance with how far the batsman has moved, or if the bowler goes the other way, he can bowl as wide as he would normally be allowed to bowl. I think anyone with a shred of cricketing sense can see that that's logical.

That is, up until this season in NZ when a directive came from the HRV Cup umpires that they were just using the wide lines, regardless of where the batsman was standing, which is completely illogical and absurd imo.

Although what actually happened in this case was the opposite- Oram backed away to leg, and Shahadat bowled a ball outside off which was out of Oram's reach, but to my eyes was several inches inside the wide line.

I must of been the opposite in the FRC that I saw the other day. The batsmen walked towards a wide ball outside off and he missed it and it was given as a wide.

Yes, that's the rule in the NZ 20/20 comp as well.

What I'm saying is the rule SHOULD favour the bowler both ways e.g. he can follow the batsman and bowl wider than normal, or he can bowl the opposite side to the batsman as long as it's inside the wide lines, even if the batsman can't reach it.

You won't see me disagreeing.

Broom and Oram giving a big '**** you' to quite a few people, so good to see, and yet annoying because Broom will probably be expected to do this again and again at number 6.

We were 6 for 180 odd after 35. Broom and Oram took us from a rather poor situation to a great one, they both deserve credit even if this is Bangladesh. Dare I use a rolleyes? Why, yes I shall. 8-)

QFT! Happy to see Broom get some runs under his belt and Oram finally tonking a few after getting his eye in.

5 to 8 for this series should be Broom -> Vettori -> Oram -> Franklin.

Nice fielding effort from Bangas, much improved.

Yes, they deserve credit.

But no, it doesn't count.

Not an international standard attack, not an international standard team, not an international standard contest.

Dire commentary, Richardson and Doull just watching the radar while McKay goes for 11 off the over.

Anyway, that proves me right with the call I made in the other thread that McKay would definitely be 143kph (I think that's the number I said) or above.
