International Regular
Admittedly my technical knowledge of how the laws are structured is poor, but could the current run-out laws not be extended to say something (with more 'official' wording and generally better syntax) like:This doesn't work because the ball goes dead as soon as a dismissal occurs. Would require a serious restructuring of the game to allow for 'double-plays', as they're called in baseball. If the ball doesn't go dead after a dismissal it means you could theoretically score runs after a dismissal too...
"In the event of a run-out occurring, the ball shall not be declared dead until either of the following conditions has been fulfilled:
- The remaining batsman regains their ground
- The remaining batsman is dismissed by means of the wicket that has not been broken to effect the dismissal also being broken before the batsman regains their ground
