Six (Last contact needs to be inside the boundary)

 

[KingKhanWC]

6 , looks like he was touching the line when he first made contact.

 

[Justcrazy]

Its a six.

 

[MenInG]

The comms werent bothered about it for some reason!

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Amazing that he's still doing stuff like this aged 37.

Weren't they? What in that video gives you that suggestion? They're literally discussing whether it's 6 or not, how have you reached the conclusion that they're not bothered?

I didn't see the whole video, but from what I saw the wasn't a vehement rejection, do let me know if I am wrong.

 

[Baigel]

What's the official ruling on this?

What's the official ruling on this?

It's not 6 based on the fact that he made contact with the ball before leaving the playing area at the very start.

You are right, there was absolutely no discussion on the rule related to "last contact needs to be inside the boundary". Commentators had adjudged it a six within 10 seconds without going into the finer details of the law.

 

[Greenstorm]

It is a save imo.

The last contact doesn't have to be inside the boundary if the fielders first contact is within the boundary.

 

[JattMaula]

Not a six.

 

[Misia]

For me it is not a 4/6

Not anytime is he on or behind the boundary,

 

[Smbhayi]

not six.. rules changed, I think they don't need touch ground before attempting second time..
