What's your brother doing by going to St. Mary's in the first place?

Right Freddie, It's morning and I'm back! I'm sory Mongoose, I'm not logged on in the evenings, I'm to busy prowling around dustbins and sniffing lady cat's bottoms.

Freddie, did you say that you confused Derek Pringle with Sir Garfield Sobers? That truly is a classic!

The question is as follows -

If a batsman tries to take a run off when the ball has run away to fine leg off his pads and when he has played no shot, can he be run out?

.... and if that's too boring for you, what make of bat do the following use -

Dwayne Bravo
Michael Bevan
Ashley Giles
Sanath Jayasuria

[Zainub]

Answer to the first question is yes - and the next I'm taking a guess at Gunn & Moore Bats

[Lemming]

Does Giles use a "County" bat!

[Teatime FatCat]

Shame on You Zainub,

I believe the ball becomes 'dead' therefore, a runout cannot be affected - however that is very boring, let's think of something more interesting.

Well done Lemmo,
Giles uses a County Bat.

[Lemming]

I think if you haven't played a shot and the ball runs away to fine leg the umpire calls a dead ball only when either the ball reaches the boundary rope or one run has been taken. Therefore I think it is possible to be run out before you have completed the first run. I may be missunderstanding the rules though!

Source: Law 26.3 LEG BYES NOT TO BE AWARDED

By the way, do all of those batsmen use a County bat? Was that the question, or do they all use different bats and we have to name them all individually?

He can be run out.

The ball only becomes dead if neother batsman attempts to take a run.

If they do, the ball is still live and the fielding team can affect a run out.

Last set of laws

 
LAW 26 BYE AND LEG BYE
  
  
1. Byes
  
  
If the ball, not being a No ball or a Wide, passes the striker without touching his

 
 

 
bat or person, any runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary allowance shall
 
be credited as Byes to the batting side.
  
2. Leg byes  
(a) If the ball, not having previously touched the striker’s bat, strikes his person

 
 

 
and the umpire is satisfied that the striker has
 
either (i) attempted to play the ball with his bat,
 
or (ii) tried to avoid being hit by the ball,
 
then any runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary allowance shall be credited
 
to the batting side as Leg byes, unless No ball has been called.
 
(b) If No ball has been called, the runs in (a) above, together with the penalty for
 
the No ball, shall be scored as No ball extras.
  
3. Leg byes not to be awarded  
If in the circumstances of 2(a) above, the umpire considers that neither of the

 
 

 
conditions (i) and (ii) has been met, then Leg byes will not be awarded. The
 
batting side shall not be credited with any runs from that delivery apart from the 
 
one run penalty for a No ball if applicable. Moreover, no other penalties shall be
 
awarded to the batting side when the ball is dead. See Law 42.17 (Penalty runs).
 
The following procedure shall be adopted.
 
(a) If no run is attempted but the ball reaches the boundary, the umpire shall call
 
and signal Dead ball, and disallow the boundary.
 
(b) If runs are attempted and if
 
(i) neither batsman is dismissed and the ball does not become dead for any
 
other reason, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as one
 
run is completed or the ball reaches the boundary. The batsmen shall
 
return to their original ends. The run or boundary shall be disallowed.
 
(ii) before one run is completed or the ball reaches the boundary, a
 
batsman is dismissed, or the ball becomes dead for any other reason,
 
all the provisions of the Laws will apply, except that no runs and no
 
penalties shall be credited to the batting side, other than the penalty for
 
a No ball if applicable.

Ninj,

I couldn't be bothered to read your whole quote - but I think you might be right. Someone please come up with the definitive answer!!


No, there are different bat makes, they don't all use County BAts.

[Lemming]

Sanath Jayasuriya - Kookaburra
Ashley Giles - County
Michael Bevan - Puma
Dwayne Bravo - Does he actually have a bat sponser?

[Teatime FatCat]

Dunno about a sponsor, but he uses a Gray Nicholls.


Well done Lemmo, let's just say it's your turn now!
