Once again, let your Uncle Eddie sort it outKing_Ponting said:Nope refer to law 36. b i think. under caught. It is a fair dismissal as long as it hasnt hit the helmet of a feilder.
Yeah, that came to mind as soon as i looked at the title of the thread.shaka said:Adam Parore hit on helmet, he ducked down, helmet came off and hit the stumps (I think), that was quite a weird dismissal
"numerous"?Shane Warne said:Yeah so much fairer when Aleem Dar was "bowing to the weight of pressure" on Warnes numerous plumb LBW appeals at Lords.
In the first test Trescothick twice, Strauss twice,marc71178 said:"numerous"?
Please provide us with examples of these numerous decision.
Which proves the point that there is no point in ducking in the latter stages of a Test match at Adelaide. If he had stayed where he was he could have easily pulled it for some runs.Sanz said:Tendulkar's HBW (Head Before Wicket) in australia.
And those idiots at Carisbrook thinking that playing up would make the umpire change his mind. And didn't the umpires get it right anyway since it came off his wrist?AndrewM said:Yeah, that came to mind as soon as i looked at the title of the thread.
1999-2000 touring Australians. Lee bowled a bouncer, Parore missed seeing it completely and it hit the side of his helmet. It fell off and hit the stumps. According to his biography, while Parore was dazed, Lee ran right up infront of him, got down on one knee, pointed to the stands and yelled, ".......off ".
Quite a dismissal. In every sense of the word.

Wonder if a few extra zero's got added to his bank balance right after that...luckyeddie said:I think Warney's kicking the stumps over at Edgbaston 2005 was pretty strange
I believe that by the rules (at the time,anyways) it was technically not out, as you could only be given out hit wicket during the playing of a shot, or running between wickets, and he was doing neither - from memory, he'd been hit by a ball and was walking out towards square leg. Still mighty fortunate, mind you, but one of those ones where either way it's probably a fair enough call.chalky said:Mark Waugh knocking the stumps over with his bat against South Africa at Sydney I think. Wait that was given not out should be in a wierdest decisions thread I suppose. Still don't know how the umps could give that not out.
After the ball had hit him about 10 seonds later he knocked the stumps down for no apparent reason. One wonders whether a certain bookmaker had waugh to "accidently" get out hit wicket.vic_orthdox said:I believe that by the rules (at the time,anyways) it was technically not out, as you could only be given out hit wicket during the playing of a shot, or running between wickets, and he was doing neither - from memory, he'd been hit by a ball and was walking out towards square leg.

EDIT: Pretty sure it was in Adelaide, too - not Sydney.
