Out or Not Out?

I'm not sure Homer - I'm old school , in my day outside the boundary rope meant you were in the front row of the stand !  The rope is so far in nowadays that autograph signing players are often outside the field of play when the ball's delivered.
     Why can't a guy with a really long name just finish scribbling and jump up to knock the ball back into play and let a pal take it?

 

 Great awareness Clobs , I'd like to have seen that.

Thats pretty damn impressive. 

The spectators behind the fielder were going nuts and signalling a six....hehe

You're showing your age now Sledge!

It happened in a local match here and we had long debate whether or not to give this out

Or lets assume...it wasnt a deliberate kick...the batsman hit the ball straight towards the non striking batsman...the ball hits him and crashes the stumps while he is out of the crease...what now mates?

1)Striker is out

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.

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!

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

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?
