LBW law

[CENTURION]

there you go, Clarke out, didn't refer, appeal should have instigated the DRS.

So if Clarke dances 3 metres down the wicket and gets hit on the pad and its going onto hit according to DRS you want it given out

if you go down the pitch 3 metres and miss it with your bat, you deserve to be bowled BUT if you are lucky enough to get your pads in the way of the ball on its way to its designated path set by the bowler, yes, why do you deserve to get away with it? the bowler has done everything right, the batsman hasn't.

Ffs just get rid of lbw and then u don't need drs and the umps will never make a mistake

[Dogmatic]

How is an umpire expected to make the right call when a leggie is going around the wicket?

The same way he is expected to make any other decision.

The rule as it stands is easily judged.

If the ball is going to hit the stumps it would be easier.
Why do we have the DRS if it is so easy?

wrong thread but never mind the Wade, caught behind DRS, how did the umpire not see that it was a no-ball??

or do they not even worry about it these days?

[dedja]

Glad someone brought that up MT ... Stevie Wonder would have called that one

[Dutchy]

Good thing about the DRS is a lot of the front foot decisions are being overturned.

Only thing I would change about the current rules is if you dont play a shot you also lose the benefit of the doubt.

Was talking about this at work, and someone suggested why don't they make it up to the non-striker to call for a no-ball review if a no-ball has been missed on a wicket. Would stop the umpires reviewing the no-ball every time there was a wicket, stopping that let-down for players and watchers.
My idea would be for the third umpire to adjudicate every ball for a no-ball and contact the on-field umpire almost instantaneously if required, so there would only be the slightest extra time for the umpire to call no-ball on a wicket compared to the normal on-field call. Won't affect batsmen as they don't really get the opportunity for a free hit with the front-foot no-ball.

with a camera firmly focussed on the bowler's front foot, a great idea.

Yep simple but great idea, Bird got called for a no ball today which wasn't yet the no ball stood

[FlyingHigh]

The other advantage is the on-field umpire can just concentrate on where the ball pitches and what's happening up the other end, hopefully improving their decisionmaking further.

lets not forget that the icc are incompetent at best, and dance to the sub continent tune

THe one disadvantage I can see is umpires having to re-adjust when they go back to first-class cricket, assuming there aren't the resources to do the same thing at that level.

Exactly,the Indian's will claim its racist and everyone is against them.
The ICC are spineless jellyfish who pander to the Indian's every whim.
Half of the ICC are probably on the take

Yeah, we're racists....and they're rapists.

Indian cricket controls the ICC unfortunately, they do what they want.

like Cowan was?
