Ask the Umpire
What if a very slow fielder allows the batsmen to run five or six - but then boots the ball over the boundary, accidentally or otherwise?
Former Test umpire John Holder on TMS: "The batsmen is credited with the runs they've run. If they're quick enough to run six, they get six."
Ask the Umpire
A player dives for the stumps to avoid being run out, the bat comes out of his hand and hits the stumps and breaks the wicket, the ball is thrown in and hits the bail-less wicket with the batsman out of his ground, is he out?
Former Test umpire John Holder on TMS: "To be not out, he has to be in his ground. I'd give him out - why should you penalise the fielding side?"
