hit wicket

 

[andrew_nixon]

could be an lbw and a caught appeal, and the batsmen try a pinch a quick single, and face a run out appeal.

hey shahid...what was the answer of the other question - father and son thing?

btw, three appeals on a single delivery - how's this? interesting...cant think of much there...

1. Which ODI saw an umpire officiating in the same match that his son was playing in?

15th August,2001
WI vs Kenya at Nairobi,
Umpires Subhash Modi and Dave Orchard,
Hitesh Modi was playing for Kenya.

He was TV umpire for the third match in the same series too.

could be an lbw and a caught appeal, and the batsmen try a pinch a quick single, and face a run out appeal.

I like that one... usually an appeal like that is off a spinner and a bat-pad catch is the most likely scenario so I dont know if anyone would be trying to steal a single there, but its easy to see how it can be off a faster bowler with the ball going farther...
Hitwicket is a little unlikely IMO.. its pretty obvious when someone is hitwicket usually...
The answer is in the new Wisden so if anyone is planning to buy it or has access to it maybe they can let us know the answer.... (wink-wink, Andrew??)...

I've not got it yet, but I will get it soon, to keep up my collection of 21st century Wisdens.

Anyway I've got a nice little question for you, it's a little puzzle.

Imagine a Test match between Australia and England. There are two balls left, Australia have 4 wickets standing, and need 4 runs to win. How can England win the game from this situation?

If Hershelle Gibbs and Hansie Cronje had been Australian?

If Hershelle Gibbs and Hansie Cronje had been Australian?

The win is legitimate, if a little unsporting (hint hint)

Yeah I know, you've told me this one before.

 

[T20]

If Hershelle Gibbs and Hansie Cronje had been Australian?

why those two? aussies had Mark Waugh and Shane Warne

 

[barmyarmy]

Perhaps Mohammed Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja while we're at it

England can get two runouts of no balls
That leaves Aus with 2 runs to get with 2 balls to spare
If they take two wickets of the next two balls through legitimate deliveries (without bowling noballs and wides) they can win the match
Is it right , Andrew !

two stumpings of wide balls and remaining 2 wkts in the remaining balls

 

[shahid6995]

Being unsportsmanlike implies something else.. like running out the batsman at the bowlers end for going out of his crease before the delivery? You can do that twice and still have no balls bowled yet, then take the next two wickets in legitimate deliveries.

 

[andrew_nixon]

Sorry, I made a mistake in the question. There is only 1 ball left.

 

[T20]

Perhaps Mohammed Azharuddin and Ajay Jadeja while we're at it

and Alec Stewart..and Salim Malik..

I saw highlights of an old odi match in Sharjah, where Jadeja walked in and immediately ran Dravid out by giving a false call..it was so obvious that b#$(%) did it on purpose.

there are so many stories from the 'fixing era'..may be on a separate thread.
