Rule Changes In-Play For This Series

[Compton]

For those that missed it, there are various tweaks to rules in-effect for this series. I’m giving you fair and clear warning, so don’t all get wild at the third umpire when the decision doesn’t go your way.

1. Reviews are no longer reset at 80 overs/new ball.

2. Reviews are no longer lost for Umpire’s Call on lbw.

3. On a run-out/stumping, a batsman who grounds his bat/foot behind the line is deemed in, even if the bat/foot is no longer grounded at time stumps are disturbed.

4. Batsmen can now be dismissed off of deliveries where the ball has made contact with a fielding player’s helmet.

Is there a limit on the size of a helmet a fielder can wear?

Number 3 - surprised that applies to stumpings and not just run outs

Yeah wtf I had no idea it applied to stumpings.

Beating a batsman in the flight and getting him to overbalance should be to the bowlers credit.

What? That's a load bullcrap right there.

Sticky this thread.......I'm gonna forget all this **** by tomorrow so an easy reference would be good.

For clarity, I think if the batsman has lifted his back foot and is stumped he’ll still be out, but if he’s lifted, gotten back, then lifted again; not out.

It’s a nonsense, I agree.

Still, they're remarkably sensible rule changes all round. No more strategically reviewing being given out clean bowled in the 79th over.

But that has never happen though has it. I agree that they do take a few more reviews close to the 80 over mark but teams will use reviews near the end of an innings now instead.

They always did.
