Bizarre cricket dismissal

[Buffalo Seagull]

That's gotta hurt

 

[Gwylan]

Never seen that before.

It's not a dismissal though, the umpire calls a dead ball (not sure why) so the batsman's not out

 

[vegster]

I never knew that Dave Myers from The Hairy Bikers was that nippy off a short run ?

 

[severnside gull]

wrong decision surely? Should have been given out unless they have changed the rules since I played (or unless no-one had the sense to appeal)? Bit of an insult to the bowler to use his injury as the reason not to give the dismissal

 

[Everest]

"Is he not out?"

"No, the bowler is"

 

[Pevenseagull]

definitely OUT. Wouldn't even justify a strip by Paul Trevellion and John Holder. Bad call umps.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

It says in YouTube the dead ball decision was overturned and he was given out

 

[PHCgull]

yep, wrong call.

if the ball hits a fielders helmet (whilst its being worn) its dead ball. other than that it should have been given out. hell of a rebound for that to be caught by the keeper...

 

[loco61]

after the umpire confers with his square leg umpire, the batsman is given out and you can see him here walking off .. caught behind !

I'd like to have been present at his doctor appointment.

Bowler - "I've suffered a large blow to the head and have been struggling with acute swelling"

Doctor applies some cream

Doctor - "How's that?"

Bowler - "Don't you start!"

One of the most bizarre has to be that suffered by Mr Joyce.

Law 23 [Dead Ball] b) ii) states that either umpire may call and signal dead ball when a serious injury to a player or umpire occures.

I took one on the head at mid-on last year and ump call "dead ball" straight away.
HOWEVER:
Law 32 [Caught] 5) states that if a striker is dismissed Caught, runs from that delivery completed by the batsman before the completion of the catch shall not be scored ...
This implies that if the catch is made, the batsman was effectively out from the moment he hit the ball, so any subsequent call of dead ball would have been unnecessary as the ball becomes dead at the fall of a wicket anyway [and the wicket fell at the moment the ball struck the bat - not the bowler's head]
= OUT !

Incidently, the ball does not become dead when it strikes a helmet being worn, just that a catch can't be awarded, nor a run out if the defelection hits the stumps with a batsman out of his ground, but if a fielder retrieves the ball then a run out could be made. If the helmet is not being worn and is hit bythe ball while in play it's dead ball + 5 runs.

I took a ball in the face at slips mamy moons ago. From vague recollection, the ball was not called dead and my coach chastised me for not catching it! An absolute rocket of a ball and I had a seam mark on the bridge of my nose for a week or two.

Coloured shirts and white trousers, what kind of cricket attire is that?

Had to watch it twice to see where the ball went, nice take by the keeper
