Out or Not Out?

any part of his things or body removes the bails...he is out

NZ/Australia same thing...

You asked if it should have been out, in australia it would have been not out as it was a no ball, I imagine it would be the same rule over there. I don't know why I  bother sometimes.

He's well aware of that mate.

Yeah but it was just a Saturday morning game. It was annoying though because he was their worst bowler and I was opening and on about 22.

Yeah. I had another piece of bad luck when I was batting a while ago. The astro turf pitch was slightly lower than the field so the ball hit the edge and came back in about a metre, then it hit my leg and deflected onto my stumps, should this have been out or possibly a wide. I walked because it just seemed like bad luck!

I bowled a while ago and I fooled the batsman who just managed to get the very bottom of the bat to hit the ball, but it slowed my already painfully sloth like bowling so that it hit the stumps, and the bails wobble but didn't come off!

they would be both out

 it's the same as the ball that hits bat then pad then is caught, only it's the non-striker's elbow

1) Striker is Out. That happened when I bowled once and got a caught and bowled.

Yeah, it's only 6 and out if it goes over the back fence.

I saw once, a batsman was caught, but after the fielder caught it, he stepped over, The batsman was awarded 6 runs and was out at the same time.. What would happen in the same scenario 9 wickets down needing 6 to win?

it would probably be signalled as leg-byes ;) if it goes to the rope, it's a boundary.

This almost happened not long ago when one of Clarke or Symonds hit a ball which deflected off the other's body and was caught. The striker was given out.2) Tricky. It depends on whether you are out once the bails are broken or once the ball is deemed to be dead. No clarke played a pretty good straight drive i6t deflected of Symods bat, Symonds was given out, and to make up for it he said to Clarke "you owe me a beer".

Nah garrywarne, I remember watching this and Symonds smacked it straight, it deflected off Clarke's pad, and was caught. Symonds was given out because it never touched the ground, he did take it well though!

I'd say the stumping of the bails at the bowlers end (Murali) is out, but it would depend on whether the batsman crossed as to who would be out, out of the two.
