It's just amazing that a commentator who is supposed to know the game can think this.
Yeah so e.g. a bowler bowling right-arm over comes wide of the crease and hits a right-handed batsman on the full in line with leg-stump. The ball is missing leg by another set of stumps but some people reckon it's out. An unbelievably common misunderstanding.
