  • Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller Starts to Look at the Most Controversial Form of Dismissal
    Leg Before Wicket Douglas Miller starts to look at the most controversial form of dismissal Of the 40 wickets that fell in the match between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan at Cheltenham that ended on 1st August 2010 as many as 18 of the victims were dismissed lbw. Was this, I wondered, a possible world record? Asking Philip Bailey to interrogate the files of Cricket Archive, I discovered that it was not: back in 1953/54 a match between Patiala and Delhi had seen 19 batsmen lose their wickets in this way. However, until the start of the 2010 season the record in English first-class cricket had stood at 17, but, barely credibly, Cheltenham had provided the third instance of a match with 18 lbws in the course of the summer. Gloucestershire had already been involved in one of these, against Sussex at Bristol, while the third occasion was the Sussex-Middlesex match at Hove. Was this startling statistic for 2010 an indication that leg before decisions are more freely given nowadays? It seemed to correlate with an impression that modern technology has given umpires a better feel for when a ball is likely to hit the wicket and that the days when batsmen could push forward and feel safe were now over. I determined to dig deeper and examine trends over time. This article confines itself to matches played in the County Championship since World War I. I propose looking at Tests in a future issue. The table below shows how the incidence of lbw dismissals has fluctuated over time.

  • Technical Interpretations
    TECHNICAL INTERPRETATIONS LAW 36: LEG BEFORE WICKET There are several points that an umpire must consider when an appeal is made for LBW. The final and most important question is “would the ball have hit the stumps?” but more about that later. (1) Firstly, the delivery must not be a “no ball”. (2) The ball MUST pitch in line with the stumps or outside the off stump. Any ball pitching outside leg stump CANNOT BE OUT LBW. (3) The ball must not come off the bat or the hand holding the bat before it hits the batsman on the pads or body. (4) Where does the ball hit striker? – only the first impact is considered. Quite often the ball will hit the front pad and deflect onto the back pad. (5) If the striker was attempting to play the ball the ball must hit him in line between wicket and wicket, even if the impact is above the level of the bails. (6) If the striker was making no genuine attempt to play the ball, then the impact can be outside off stump. (7) Where would the ball have gone if not interrupted by impact on striker? (8) The ball does not always pitch before hitting the batsman. If it is a full toss the umpire MUST assume the path at impact will continue after impact. (9) The “Off” side of wicket is now clearly defined as when the batsman takes his stance and the ball comes into play – ie when the bowler starts his run up or if he has no run up, his bowling action The term “LBW” whilst meaning Leg Before Wicket also allows the batsman to be out if the ball strikes any other part of his body, even his shoulder or head! All of the above points must all be satisfied for the batsman to be out under this Law.

Mhatre Assistant Professor, Dept. of Information Technology, Bharati Vidyapeeth College of Engineering, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India Abstract - A fair decision is crucial in any of the game to give of the decisions. If this can be achieved with the help of technology, justice to the game. Any wrong decision due to human then the game will be more fair and enjoyable. Previously proposed misperception may fate the result of the game. Computer vision researches regarding this field have tried to solve the problem, but and Image processing techniques have been mentioned in the these are infeasible, costly and prone to error because of the usage of literature review which used multiple cameras for sensors on field and bowlers. On the other hand, we have proposed demonstration. This paper focuses on a system which helps in computer vision based approach in this paper which does not need making the decisions to assist the umpire in taking the extra infrastructure because it will get video feed from broadcasting decisions such as no-ball, LBW i.e. Leg before wicket, Run out, cameras. Our proposed method is expected to perform better and low stump out, etc with the help of smartphone camera of good cost in operating due to no infield sensor and other devices.

The Crazy Catch net is placed in front of the stumps about 5 metres out and the adjustable bar extended fully to create a 90 degree angle. The wicket-keeper SET UP DIAGRAM: is positioned close up behind the stumps facing the Crazy Catch set on the SANE side COACH with the INSANE side therefore lying flat on the ground. For the progressions Chris uses a flexi stump set with slates to provide deflections and distractions. ACTIVITY: The coach or feeder stands just off the should of the wicket-keeper demonstrating the correct posture and starting position (see coaching points) either on the offside or leg side and feeds the ball onto the sane side of the Crazy Catch. The wicket- WICKET keeper is looking to collect the incoming ball and take the bails off quickly in one KEEPER fluid movement, ready for the next ball in.

  • Use of Image Processing Techniques for Making Run out Decision in Cricket
    www.ijecs.in International Journal Of Engineering And Computer Science ISSN:2319-7242 Volume 3 Issue 5 may, 2014 Page No. 6212-6215 Use of Image Processing Techniques for Making Run out Decision in Cricket Shashank Yeole#1, Nisheet Sharma#2, Yogesh Shinde#3, Sufiyan Shaikh#4 #Department of Computer Engineering Sinhgad Institute of Technology, Lonavala, India [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Abstract:In the world renowned game of Cricket, currently for giving umpiring decisions like Stumping and Run Out, the Third Umpire has to review the various angular video footages thoroughly and laboriously. According to the current Laws of Cricket, the Third Umpire is expected to give the correct decision within 30 seconds, although it’s in his discretion to take as much time required by him. This process evidently takes a lot more time than 30 seconds. Hence, a software system for assisting the Third Umpire, is required that will helpcut short the above time lag. Then, the Third Umpire will just provide the Video feeds as input to the system and it will compute a result, which will aid the Third Umpire in reaching a decision quickly. Our Idea is to use Image Processing techniques which can provide us with the means of building such a software system that can be used for the above mentioned scenario. The Software system will make use of Object tracking algorithm for tracking Wickets, and depending on the displacement of wickets the frames of that moment will be taken using a Frame Extraction algorithm.

  • The Laws of Cricket
    CHANGES TO THE LAWS OF CRICKET (With effect from 1st April 2019) OFFICIAL Marylebone Cricket Club Changes to The Laws of Cricket (With effect from 1st April 2019) 1 Changes to the Laws of In 2017, MCC published a new Code of Laws, which incorporated the most wide- Cricket – with effect from ranging and ambitious alterations to the Laws of Cricket for almost two decades. 1 April 2019 The Code has been well-received, and had a positive impact on cricket the world over. However, over the last two years, some issues have emerged, and so MCC has produced a second edition, which will come into force on 1st April 2019. The majority of these changes are simply minor corrections or clarifications, and will not make a material difference to the vast majority of cricket played around the world. One change removes a whole clause (the previous Law 41.19), but this is simply because, after changes to Law 41.2, the clause was duplication. However, there are a few significant changes. First, the decision was taken to rework Law 41.7, which relates to full-pitch deliveries over waist height (known colloquially as ‘beamers’). MCC listened to significant feedback and has handed more control to umpires to determine whether a delivery is dangerous. Also relevant to that Law, and at the behest of umpires, MCC has for the first time put into the Laws a definition of the waist – something that has long-since been a point of contention, particularly in the recreational game. There is also a slight change to Law 41.16, which should further confirm the principle, established in the 2017 Code, that it is the non-striker’s duty to remain in his/her ground until the bowler has released the ball.
