Wired Cricket Rules: That rule of cricket, which forced the umpire too… Only one run was found on fours

New Delhi: The batsman played a sharp shot and the ball one bounced outside the boundary line, but surprisingly the umpire gave only one run on it. Not only this, he first termed the ball as no ball and then indicated dead ball. All this happened in the International League T20 being played in Dubai. The match was being played between Desert Vipers and Sharjah Warriors. In the match, Sharjah Warriors’ Colmar Codmar hit a four and the ball was a no-ball, yet got only one run.

In fact, the 5th ball of the 5th over of this match played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium was missed by West Indies fast bowler Sheldon Cottrell. On this, at the striking end, Codmer almost ran in and played a jarring shot. The shot was so sharp that the ball went out of the boundary after taking a step. Sehwag was doing commentary. Surprised, he said that such gifts were not available in his time.

Here, however, there was a surprise when the field umpire first indicated no ball and then dead ball. In this way, the team got only one run on the ball which should have got 5 runs. According to Rule 21.8 of the Marylebone Cricket Club ie MCC, if the batsman has to go off the pitch to play a shot on the ball, then the field umpire will signal the first no ball. After this he will immediately call it deadball. Something similar was seen here as well.

Please tell that Sheldon Cottrell is among the big bowlers of the Windies. Didn’t expect such a ball from him. Everyone was surprised and when the free hit was received, it seemed that this over could be heavy, but it did not happen. Cottrell conceded just one run on the next legal ball. Sharjah scored 145 runs in the match. In reply, Warriors won the match by scoring 148 runs.
