Angelo Mathews' Effort

[Zeus]

Hahaha you really think it is easy to do???? hahahaha LMAO......

Also this type of incidents are very rare. This was the first one for the history of cricket. So I do not think ICC will bother to change any rule. .

No need to even bother machan
Cz we can continue this without any kinda reform of the rules

PS :- ICC never ignore the necessity of changing rule just bcz those rules are barely usable

hats off for that effort !

 

[serandib_y2k]

Angelo Mathews' great effort save Sri Lanka 3 runs. Umpires didn't signal a boundary and it was only 3 runs. But I think it was a six because he touched outside the boundary last. What do you guys think?

 

[nzromesh]

it's not a six . umbala cricket danne nehe. youtube eke balapan Australia vs South africa 20 20 cricket match eka. 2009 series eke . australia ekek gaththa catch ekak oya widiyatama . eka out.

I'm soo disappointing to see this kinda comments guys.
May it bcz we are not familiar this kinda situation due to the lack of encounters

But think for a while
Batsmen has to put his figure ON or BIYOND THE Crees even in order to get rid of run out right ??

So in here also simply the same
And I think its clearly pre defined no doubt

Wht is ur point dude???
r u think that I said it should've been a 6 or something....???
I think u misunderstood my point man....

Note: My point was the umpires made the right decision by NOT giving it a SIX...
B'cus that kinda situations happen once in a while; & even then it is not easy to do wht Mathews did...At least, as an appreciation to the fielding, it should be in favour of the fielder...

And talking abt the rules...ur logic abt the runouts is fair enough, bt I don't think it is 100% applicable to this situation (considering some facts pointed out by some people in this thread)...

 

[pubudu2008]

Aka 6 neme bun...................................

 

[sandun_kg]

Great effort by Angelo..... I also think it's not six

Starring Angelo Mathews

Then there was the curious incident of the six that never was. Angelo Mathews' one-man volleyball-style acrobatic display did momentarily flummox the umpires, but after a brief delay they concluded that no six-action had occurred. Yet the chaps in the Sky commentary box were not sure. Nasser Hussain knows which way up to hold a book and he had apparently been scouring the laws for a definitive answer, without success. Had the umpires dropped a clanger? I decided to venture into the arcane and mysterious world of cricket lore myself. After literally five seconds' searching, I located Law 19 on boundaries. Ten seconds later, I had uncovered the incredible truth. The umpires were right. Dan Brown it wasn't.
But out there in cyberspace, the citizens were revolting. Emails pinged into inboxes like angry bees returning to the hive. You would have thought poor Angelo had just punched the Duke of Kent in the face and set fire to the Lord's pavilion. One correspondent to Cricinfo suggested that teams would now take the precaution of stationing players in the stands, ready to leap into action at a moment's notice, barge down the steps, jump over the advertising boards, dodge the stewards and bat a potential six back into play. Whilst keeping both feet in the air. I suppose it would be something for Rob Key to do. "We've been getting a lot of emails on the subject," said Sky's presenter, Ian Ward. Wisely, he didn't read any out.

hey

Mathews' fielding effort legal, says MCC

Angelo Mathews' acrobatic fielding effort in Sri Lanka's match against West Indies at Trent Bridge on Wednesday conformed to the Laws of Cricket, the MCC has said. Such "brilliant and quick-thinking" acts, it said, are good for the game and should not be deemed illegal.

Mathews was stationed on the wide long-on boundary when, in the 17th over of the chase, Ramnaresh Sarwan lofted Ajantha Mendis in his direction. He caught the ball on the right side of the line but, realising the momentum had taken him backwards, flung the ball in the air before his foot landed over the boundary. Looking up, he saw that the ball would land outside the boundary, resulting in a six, and so picked himself up, jumped and smashed the ball, tennis-style, over the rope and back into play.

It led to a brief hold-up in play with the two on-field umpires - Billy Bowden and Simon Taufel - consulting the third umpire Ian Gould and eventually West Indies were credited with only three runs.

John Stephenson, the MCC's assistant secretary, confirmed Mathews' fielding was deemed legal according to Law 19.3(a)(ii).

"The MCC Laws sub-committee had recently discussed fielding such as this and felt that such brilliant and quick-thinking acts should not be outlawed," Stephenson said. "MCC is happy with the Law as it is written and occurrences such as the one yesterday, while extremely rare, are good for the game of cricket as a whole. It is also pleasing that two of the committee's members were involved in making the correct decision on the field of play."

Law 19.3 (a) (ii) states: A boundary shall be scored and signalled by the umpire at the bowler's end whenever, while the ball is in play, in his opinion - a fielder, with some part of his person in contact with the ball, touches the boundary or has some part of his person grounded beyond the boundary.

Angelo Mathews' great effort save Sri Lanka 3 runs. Umpires didn't signal a boundary and it was only 3 runs. 100% to the effort. But I think it was a six because he touched outside the boundary last. What do you guys think?

Wednesday's games didn't matter in the slightest. They were utterly pointless in every respect. And it rained too. But despite the existential futility of day six of the World Twenty20, it all turned out to be rather entertaining. There was Dwayne Bravo smoking boundaries in all directions as the rain tumbled down, Sanath Jayasuriya manfully holding back the tide of age, and more elegant trickery from the sparkly-wristed magician, Tillakaratne Dilshan. When Kevin Pietersen plays the switch hit, it looks like a gorilla trying to do the Twist, but Dilshan turns it into ballet.

Then there was the curious incident of the six that never was. Angelo Mathews' one-man volleyball-style acrobatic display did momentarily flummox the umpires, but after a brief delay they concluded that no six-action had occurred. Yet the chaps in the Sky commentary box were not sure. Nasser Hussain knows which way up to hold a book and he had apparently been scouring the laws for a definitive answer, without success.

Wisely, he didn't read any out.

Mr Mathews was also the source of some multicultural misadventure for our favourite former fast bowler, Ian Bishop. Earlier in the week, he had seemed unsure of his footing when delivering Angelo's second name. So, anxious not to offend the Sri Lankan viewers any further and with Ranil Abeynaike as his co-commentator, he tried to enlist his compadre in a little name clarification. Sensibly, Ranil was having none of it. After much hopeless digging, the former fast bowler gave up. "Why can't they just have simple names, like Bishop," he concluded, putting down his shovel. I wouldn't open your emails for a day or two, Bish.

Hey machan Read Carefully this is cricinfo report abt that Catch.....
