2015 Cricket World Cup

An interesting situation occurred yesterday which I've never seen before, wonder if someone can explain the process.

Slow bowler outfoxes a batsman coming down the wicket and it goes through to the wicket keeper who rushes to whip the bails off before the batsman scrambles back.

The umpire calls for a review to see if it was stumped or not.

But the batsmen had actually got the thinnest of nicks on the ball which the umpire had missed too.

As it happens the guy was out stumped, but if it wasn't can the bowling team ask for a review for out caught, even though they were well over the 15 second window?

I would suspect no, because there might have been ample time for an outside party to communicate to them that he should be out, but I have no clue really.

Anyone know?

I'm not sure tbh, its different from the England one above because the fielding side actually havent called for a review - its the umpires.

I might have an answer for this one tomorrow when I can consult my book (I'm a qualified umpire).

In the camel's example above the 3rd umpire will communicate that the batsman is out another way. He'll be given out. Once it is reviewed the decisión passes off field and the fielding Team  does not need yo ask again for another mode of dismissal

Even though they haven't (yet) asked for a review and the umpire missed the batsman has edged it?

[TightEnd]

Yes, the umpire has sales for the review. Thats importante. The review covers all modes of dismissal

[TightEnd]

Called for the review!

Wow. Who needs foot movement when you're Chris Gayle?

Was just about to post, he looks like he's ready to tee off now for anyone interested.

Called for the review!

The square leg umpire called for the review (I think anyway) to see if the batsman got back in his crease.

Pretty sure the bowling team didn't call for it. Maybe wrong though.

If the umpire did ask for the review, that doesn't qualify as the bowling teams one review does it?

[TightEnd]

Umpire calls for the review, then 3rd umpire checks all modes of dismissal. Pending sharplea checking the laws tomorrow!

That certainly doesn't seem fair at all!

I didn't even consider that as an option when I asked the question lol.

Calypso collapso in progress

[muckthenuts]

agree with that

a six week group stage is barmy. its a result of the 2007 world cup when india went out of the group stages with a loss to bangladesh

viewing figures and ads rate plummeted and the tournament in the WI made a loss

so now the group stages are designed to get the top 8 through. india, australia and england run the ICC and is is short term thinking/protectionism

at the same time going to 10 for 2019 is terrible elitism. got to give the associates hope to progress, get funding and eventually make test sides

the best format, 4 groups of 4 with 2 through to the quarters, would shorten the tournament by a couple of weeks and still give associates a couple of games

Good post.

Good job its in Australia/NZ - Sky dont like it when a batsman clearly shouts "Oh you c**t!"

[Woodsey]

lol I thought that was what he said but wasn't 100% sure

Seriously Ireland, just bowl 6 yorkers.
