Is this out or not out?

[PakistaniBoomBoom]

Sorry guys, but me and my bro were playing and my bro got struck on his leg and I thought he was out and my bro thought he wasn't, we had a camera recording the cricket but we still couldn't come to an agreement on whether it was out or not.

Please look at the attached photo and give ur views:

Thnx a lot!

Where is the ball?

Have a look carefully, i think its camoflauging with his pants.

Was the camera placed right next from your bowling position if yes then that is plumb.

I assume there is a 3rd stump that he is covering, if so then it is plumb

Ok thanx, and yes it was placed right next to the bowling position.

Going off to tell him!

Not enough information to give a decision.

If these sort of problems were going to arise, you should have had a neutral umpire at the venue when you were playing. Posting these photos will not enable anyone to give a correct decision.

Anyway don't worry too much, wrong decisions are part of the game.

Unless he's laying an egg, he's bowled. Otherwise you cannot tell not only because I cannot see the invisible ball but also the angle of the video capture is wrong.

 

[kingusama92]

If the camera is straight on and he's moved that much to the offside, he's dead plumb.


If not, he might not be. Plus, is the ball on the way down or up? If its on the way down, he's most likely out regardless of the camera angle. If its on the up, it might be going over.

BTW, this must be some legit cricket going on. To come on PP for a LBW decision.

Not to forget the camera set up for the third umpire reviews and what not.

From the comment I've seen it seems to be OUT!

No DRS installed?

 

[kingusama92]

No one's commented on the lack of technique from the young batsman.

No expansive feet movement. Misbah like approach, back in in his crease, and timidly poking at the ball.

Get this kid in the nets. At least, he kept his eye on the ball though.

 

[kingusama92]

I blame Misbah for the poor stroke play. It is only fair.

He's a 7 year old bro of mine!!

Misbah is getting to them at a young age. Shame.

May your brother see some Vivian Richards' dreams soon.

 

[Azlan Khan]

Hitting middle leg, looks plumb!

 

[PakistanKnight]

Is your bro a big fan of Shane Watson? He is taking a review on the plumbest of LBWs!

 

[London_Lahori]

what if the ball pitched outside leg stump fellas and spun to hit him in line?

What if it's pitched miles outside off stump and spun back sharply and will miss leg stump?

Too many potential variables to actually be able to give a decision

This is some serious indoor cricket, especially considering you have cameras to record the match. Played indoor cricket with my cousin, but was never this series.

Any prizes at stake or something that you waited 28 minutes and then adjudged him out for LBW? With such a waiting time, one can expect that there is something important at stake here, apart from personal pride and satisfaction. Have never known for a game of cricket to wait for a decision for as long a time as this!
