What the gently caress did I just watch? In the scorchers/strikers game Kane Richardson hit wicket but no one noticed until the run was completed. He was then given out after a review of the footage and a long discussion but he was still dawdling on his way to the boundary. Meanwhile Lone Bear was still talking to the umpires and decided to call him back. :psyduck:

Apparently it was because no one had appealed but that is like someone being clean bowled and then being given not out because no one went up for it. Mind boggling stuff.

Which has happened before in test cricket. Several times in fact.

You have to technically appeal for any out. Its just things like bowled and obvious catches not being appealed for is by tradition rather than rules. Plus the batsman will walk for it. More batsman need to stand their ground after being bowled.

The reason why hit wicket is more like an lbw than a bowled is because there is some leeway. Not as much as there was where a lot of the hit wicket rules came down to umpire interpretation of if a batsmen was preparing to or playing a shot or not. So you could be given out if your initial shuffle clipped the stumps but not if you turned and walked away towards square leg after playing the ball (as Mark Waugh did against south Africa). Also things like a gusts of wind do blow off bails.

I thought out bowled was the only dismissal where the fielding side don't have to appeal, the umpire just gives you out.

Batsmen walk for it. If you read the rules for appealing all outs need to be appealed. There just isn't a lot of recourse when the stumps are scattered about the field.

Our review identified changes needed to be made and, in Stephen, we have a coach who has a reputation for demanding the highest standards.
NZ 2nd test team announced: Franklin & Martin have been omitted, Colin Munro & Neil Wagner to play. Harsh on Martin who took 3/63 in the first test, but exciting to see what Wagner can do. Franklin had to go, but I had no idea Munro was the spare batsman, he is far more of a limited overs batsman than a longer format player. Bruce Martin expected to be 12th man but I'm hoping he starts ahead of Patel.

I once played a junior game years ago where this exact thing happened. The batsmans bail got knocked off, everybody appealed, but the umpire at that time was the coach of the other team and he was also really loving drunk, so he said the wind or the wicket keeper had knocked the bail off.

Gurinder Sandhu, who was born in India, is also in the team. He's a young fast bowler. I really hope he ends up better than any of India's current crop of fast bowlers so we can troll them even more.

There's this article on cricinfo about Healy being unhappy with Wade's glovework

http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia-v-sri-lanka-2012/content/current/story/600442.html

I find it interesting because I don't think I've ever seen Healy have a strong opinion on anything.

quote:

Healy said he could not understand why the selectors had chosen Wade ahead of Brad Haddin at the start of this summer. However, he also said that he believed Queensland's Chris Hartley, 30, was the best pure gloveman in the country but that he was unlikely to earn an opportunity at international level with Wade, Haddin and Tim Paine all ahead of him in the queue.

He believes Hartley is the best gloveman and Hartley has a better one day batting average than Haddin this season. Makes me wonder why, if they're looking to the 2015 world cup, the selectors didn't choose Hartley over Haddin for this series.
