If you are an umpire then..?

Question

1.How will you judge a LBW ?

2.How will you judge a thin edge ?

Answer 1

i'll caLLREVEIW , THATS How will you judge a LBW ;

Answer 2

The conditions for a batsman to be given out LBW are:

1)The ball must be legal : The ball must not be a no ball.

2)The ball must not pitch on the leg side: The ball must either (a) pitch in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the wicket, or (b) not pitch at all before reaching the batsman. Therefore, any ball pitching on the leg side of the wicket should not result in the loss of a wicket by LBW even if the batsman has left the ball . To determine the relevant 'pitching zone', an imaginary line is drawn parallel to the long axis of the pitch from the leg stump.

3)The ball must miss the bat : If the first contact the batsman has of the ball is hitting it with his bat, he should not be out LBW.



4)The ball must intercept a part of the batsman's person : If the ball hits any part of the body, it is a potential candidate for LBW (ie. it need not hit the leg). The one exception is a hand or gloved hand in contact with the bat, which is considered part of the bat. For example, Sachin Tendulkar was famously given out LBW when, ducking under an expected bouncer, the ball actually hit his shoulder (Australia v India, 1999-2000, Adelaide, The Indian Second Innings).

5)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.

6)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 unable to find the answer to other.Sorry............

Answer 3

A great question. These are the two reasons why I never accepted an umpiring job even when I was in school team. In any lbw judgment it's the angle of the ball and in your judgment the ball would have hit the stumps in not blocked by anything other than the bad for the second question other than the visual aspect, it's the sound that gives indication of the ball touched the bat or not. Not an easy thing to judge when the field is filled with so many noises.

Answer 4

1/ The ball needs to hit the pad in front of the wicket and be carrying on to hit the stumps.  Coming round the wicket the ball also needs to have pitched in line with the stumps added to the above.

2/ Easier when a bat plays a shot away from his body , really you have to just be100% that the noise you hear is only that of ball on bat and if there is any chance it was bat on pad or ground or ball off clothing then you give not out.

Answer 5

To judge an LBW firstly, know the rules (all of them for LBW).  Next stand in the correct spot behind the wicket.  Armed with that then you can judge where the ball is pitched, it's likely trajectory after pitching, whether the batsmen hit the ball with the bat or ball hit his body and where the batsmen is standing in relation to the wicket and therefore where his pads are. There are more considerations than this obviously but know the law and be the right position are important starting points.

Snicking is a matter of watching the ball closely and listening carefully.  Sometimes there may be no sound.

Answer 6

Looking at where the ball pitched, the bounce, turn, swing are the factors that umpires judge on LBWs.

Judging thin edges would be extremely difficult because there not so easy to see and the noise sounds very much like the sound that the pad makes; but usually if it looks like it may have snicked the bat the umpire would give it out.
