How?
No it is not. Rule was changed. Would have been no ball earlier. Can’t believe Misbah complained to umpire about this what are PCB analysts doing ?
Rules have changed.
What’s the new rule?
According to old rules, bowler’s backfoot touching the side crease is a no ball.
What has changed?
Noball aside I will give out and drop yasir for the next match for this pathetic shot at that stage of game. Absolute shambolic stuff. The biggest problem with yasir shah is he doesn’t want to improve especially in the bowling department afraid of bowling googly
"Law 24 of the MCC which deals with no balls, explicitly states that a delivery will be deemed legitimate in respect of the feet, in delivery stride, if the bowler's back foot lands within and not touching the return crease appertaining to his stated mode of delivery.”
They basically changed the interpretation to focus on the "lands" part. Jamiesons first contact (seen on video) was clearly inside the crease. When he lands... then during the continuation of the motion, his foot twists & slides out- as seen in the picture. But that is a few frames after he landed.
So ICC commitee a few years ago said the interpretation would be that as long as the initial landing is inside, they aren't going to worry about where it slides afterward.
