Official, confirmed, verified "You are the umpire" thread

1. If the bowler delivers a ball when the batsman is not in his batting stance then it's either dead ball or no ball.

2. At 12.55 then lunch has been taken already. Play will resume at about 1.06ish. If you have made a typo and the captain declares at 11.55 then lunch is taken immediately, lunch is 40 minutes though not an hour. (I know I'm wrong on this one.)

3. Against the spirit of the game but yes he's out. Seen many occurrences of this.

4. A draw is basically a no result no matter what the score is. A tie is when both teams have the same score at the end of play..
Example: A Vs B...A 600/8dec and 115/3, B 526/10 match drawn.
C Vs D...C 415/10 and 120/10, D 350/10 and 185/10 ...well that's a tied match.

If my maths are correct that is...if not you're very much free to troll me.

1) The batsmen is not ready, bowler bowls the ball, batsmen tries to block the ball but nicks it onto his stumps

2) Lunch is 12-1pm, at 12:55 the captain declares his innings. Can he do this? What time do you start? What implications does this have in the laws?

3) The batmsen, playing forward has the ball hits his pads and the team goes up for an lbw appeal. The batsmen, out of his crease, watches the umpire for a decision. In the meantime the keeper puts down the stumps with the ball while the batsmen is out of ground. LBW appeal was turned down.

Is the batsmen out? How?

4) What is the difference between a tie and a draw?

1. Must be Not out... As simple as that. But the bowling team can still appeal for it.

2 Uhm, no idea.

3. Its out. This has happened many a times. Most recently with Rishabh Pant in the GL vs DD match. Also happened with Tim Bresnan in CT13 final.

4. In a tie, the runs scored by both the teams is same, and either both of their Innings has been completed (either by bowling out or by end of overs, only in limited overs)

In a draw, the time allotted for the match has ended, reardless of the position of the teams.
 
1. If you make an attempt to play the ball then you're out - that's why you back away if you aren't ready. If not then why wouldn't "I wasn't ready!" be a valid excuse for anyone who played on?

2. You'd probably start 15 minutes afterwards, but I'd be reporting the captain to whatever higher group there was for electing to declare that late in a break.

3. Batsman out stumped, looking rather foolish.

4. A draw is when the time has been completed without a result, a tie is when both teams are bowled out with the same score.
 
Ice age nailed the first question. The batsmen is protected as long as they don't attempt to play the ball, as soon as that happens they are fair game. In that case they are out.

According to the laws, that is a valid play, the team now batting would be obligated to be ready for the call of play at 1pm. That changes in Oct with the new laws slightly.

Batsmen out stumped is correct

Everyone pretty much got tie v draw right.
 
A batsman is almost hit in the head by a bouncer. He leaves his crease while attempting to get out of the way. The keeper collects and throws the ball, hitting the stumps. Is the batsman out? If so then is he stumped or run out?

Can a batsman be out stumped if the keeper is standing back?

Can't think of another at the moment but...something and somesuch etc...

Not Out if they have left the crease to avoid injury.

Sure.
 
1. Correct, if the umpire believes that the batsman has left the crease in the process of avoiding injury by the bouncer then he is not out.

2. Correct, if the batsmen have not attempted a run then the striker is out stumped, even if the call of run out is justified as per the Laws. Even if the keeper is standing back.
 
- A fast bowler employs a curved run-up, beginning almost in front of mid off before running in smoothly and delivering the ball in a more orthodox fashion. The batsman protests that he cannot see the bowler properly until about halfway through the run-up. Can you do anything?

- A bowler delivers a ball, which knocks the bails off. You are concerned about it being a no ball so you refer to your colleague in the booth. The bowler definitely landed past the line, but his heel is very much behind it in the air. Is it a no ball? (note: no part of the foot EVER landed behind said line)

- In a limited overs match, a batsman cleanly hits a six. Your square leg colleague signals no ball. Upon meeting with him and double checking with the TV umpire, it turns out that the fielding team had more players outside the circle than necessary. Does the six stand? (In short, too many fielders in the deep, do the runs count?)

- A batsman absolutely smashes a ball into the face of short leg. Thank goodness he was wearing a helmet. It careens off of his helmet and the keeper dives forward to take the catch inches away from the turf. Is it out?

Contrarian/FakePassport...give them a couple days this time lol...

No. I think in the old times lots of quicks used to run in from mid off.

If his heel is behind the line, it's not a no ball.
