*Official* Bangladesh in the West Indies 2018

BD had to make 8 off 6 balls with 6 wickets in hand, and still managed to effed up.

Now they want the runs that was not given to them because the ball died prior to the boundary rope. The umpire made his decision prior to the ball reaching the ropes. The fielder didn't bother giving chase...he was celebrating the wicket.

The rule is fair. Umpire's call is final.

If you remove leg byes you incentivise negative bowling.

well yeah if you're willing to risk being tucked away for runs all day go ahead

The bowler has done nothing wrong, but imo he should rebowl the ball because his team is benefitting from an automatic dot ball from a proven umpire error.

If batsman hits a six in the re-bowl how is that fair? The same argument can be used to say that the six would not be scored (in the same ball) if umpire didn't eff up.

At the very least we can all agree that umpires are stupid

 

[weldone]

expect umpires' job to be completely automated very soon (maybe in 10-15 years)

It'll shift to more of a game management role than a decision making one, but the game will never be played without a human umpire on the field

The umpire stuff up is the cause of the issue. But a team is meant to have legitimate 300 balls in odi and 120 balls in t20i to score from.

While the bowler has done nothing wrong, at present they get a benefit of a free dot ball at the batting teams expense for the umpire's stuff up.

By simply rebowling it, the balance is restored be they get a wicket, or hit for 6.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

What if there was no chance of scoring a run even if it were not a dead ball?

You mean like edges through to the keeper? There's a chance off seamers for a run there (often suicidal though), not so much off the spinners.

Any modification could easily take into account whether the wicket keeper has appealed for a catch and not demand a ball rebowled.

Not really. It's not like leg byes are that common, and you'd still give away plenty of runs.

Maybe if you removed leg byes and removed the limitation of fielders behind square

Funny how mushfiq keeps getting out in the same fashion every time so close

Not funny anymore AZH. It's actually quite painful to see him do this over and over again.
