The following scenario appeared on another forum:
"The bowler bowled a ball that was going wide but it hit one of our close fielders on the shoulder and rebounded onto the striker' wicket with the striker out of his ground. We thought he was out Bowled, but the umpire at the bowler's end said Not out, so we appealed to the other umpire for Run out. He said Not out. Were they both correct?"
According to the moderator, the MCC says that this situation should be treated as the equivalent of the ball coming to rest before reaching the line ofthe striker's wicket. The bowler's end umpire should therefore call No Ball, immediately followed by Dead Ball.
This seems fair, but I can't actually find justification in the Laws.
What do others think?
