Bizzare run out thread

[mhraja]

He was out as per the law but should he been called back as gesture of sportsmanship considering the collision?

 

[Rana]

He diverted his own course. He would have avoided the collision if he ran straight and would have been comfortebly in

If Sarfraz would have taken his appeal back for Lewis, West Indies wouldn't have been this aggressive in the running between the wicket

If Shehzad career is over, Sarfraz will be the culprit.

The appeal should have been withdrawn

No excuse for the fielder to be standing in the batting crease.

He was running to back up the throw and he wasn't straight in front of the batsman anyway - Lewis was the one who diverted and crashed into Shadab.

so is this the reason for samuels acting weirdo ?

I think it was a bit unfair on the West Indian lad. One of those that both teams would have felt wrong done by had the decision gone the other way. Going by the letter of law he had to be given out.

Not how I would've wanted us to get a wicket because it gives the other side a reason to feel hard done by. And to Windies credit, they didn't complain about it.

That being said, I don't feel an ounce of sympathy for Lewis in the case. It wasn't a coming together between him and Shadab, he changed directions and ran into Shadab. There was no reason why he shouldn't have continued running straight. Shadab was within his rights to back up the throw and standing well away from Lewis.

No reason why the appeal should've been taken back.

I remember Hansie Cronje calling back Saurav Ganguly after he got run out because of a collision.

IIRC, it was during 5 Match ODIs series in Pakistan, where Inzi was given out in a similar way against India .

inzi given out in 1st match of the series due to Obstructing the field when he block the ball with bat

inzi given out in 1st match of the series due to Obstructing the field when he block the ball with bat

I think it happened twice. Once where he blocked the ball with bat and was given out.
On second occasion, he didn't block the ball but jumped to avoid the ball. Inzi was standing well inside the crease, ball eventually went on to hit the stumps and Inzi had his feet off the ground.

I remember him saying it afterwards that mujhay samajh ni ati k ball ko roka to b out day dia, nahi roka to b out day dia ( I'm not understanding it, was given out when I stopped the ball and later when I didn't stopped the ball still I was given out)

Simply unfathomable and that too in a WC SF!

Add to that list of comical run-outs

Rizwan gave him a call first and then refused to run resulting in Noman ali getting run out against West indies in the 1st test match. Noman did not even try to run back to save himself...LOL
