Let's say a RHB is facing a Right Handed Spinner coming over the wicket and you switch to a Left Handed Stance and try to play a reverse sweep, and you're hit in the pads, while you're in LHB stance trying to sweep it? It's hard to explain in text, but I hope you get what I mean. ------------- "His classical hits down the ground, met with a checked drive, were Tendulkar at his best.

I think you mean he gets hit outside the line of his off stump
and the ball is going on to hit the stumps. That he's moved around so
that the ball is hitting outside the line of his leg stump now shouldn't prevent the umpire from sticking him - it was his own daft fault for playing that crazy shot!

Mm, thanks for that Clobber, but is it in the ICC Laws of Cricket? I only brought the Q up after seeing highlights of that Pieterson sweep off Murali.

Why would u change your stance to play a reverse sweep , isn't it just a matter of rolling your wrists.
my opinion out LBW for the same reason as sledger daft shot deserves to be fingered if not he is going to cop a barrage of sledging LOL

One thing I need clarification is that 'playing a shot rule'. If the ball pitches outside off and is going into hit the stumps, then you must not be playing a shot to be given out right?
Often players get given out when playing a shot when the ball is angling back in after pitching outside off and going onto hit.
Can someone please clarify? ------------- Good one Graham! |

No, it depends as to wether it hits you in line with the stumps, if you don't play a shot it doesn't have to hit you in line, if you have played a shot, then it needs to hit you in line, so if it nips back, hits you line, wether you played a shot or not, it's out. ------------- Monkey see, Monkey do. |

Here is some more info
The ball must hit in line : The ball must hit the batsman in the region directly between the two wickets. An important exception is that, if the impact is outside the off stump, the batsman can be out LBW if he does not make a genuine attempt to play the ball (that is, if he does not "play a stroke"). If the impact is between wicket and wicket, the playing of a stroke is irrelevant.
The ball must have been going to hit the wicket : If the ball's trajectory suggests that it would have missed the wicket had the batsman not been present, then he should not be out LBW. I like the last line of that "then he should not be out LBW " but so many of us who have played cricket long enough know that this is not always the case LOL

I thought about this for a bit and I agree with you Sledge.

The off side of the batsmen is decided the by his stance the moment the ball becomes in play ie: when the run up starts, so if he does as you have asked in your question, he will still have been hit as if playing right handed. ------------- Monkey see, Monkey do. |

Do you guys think that the ICC should paint or chalk on the line of stumps right on to the pitch, stretching from one wicket to the other? Why or Why not?

Painting on the pitch creates a synthetic surface and if the ball
pitches on the lines it'll do all kinds of weird and wonderful things! No doubt lines would help the umpire , but they'd help the bowler a lot more. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

How about using colored sand to prepare that part of the pitch?

I thought that might be a good idea as well, obviously some reason why they don't do it though. ------------- |

About time something went the way of the bowler though wouldnt you say? |

I disagree with that, id say it would help the batsman ALOT more because if it is pitched between the lines he knows if it doesnt cut off, that it is going to hit his wicket. ------------- new season starting in a week!!!!!!!!!! :D |

| At the time bowler starts his runup the stands of the batsman decides whether he is a RHB or LHB. Irrespective of the shot he plays or the position he posess he will remain to be the RHB/LHB untill the ball becomes dead. And the LBW is decided on this fact. |

if it is goin to hit the stumps then i think it should be out becouse you stated out as a righthander so then you should be out
