The striker plays a leg glance towards fine leg where there was no deep fielder. Wicket-keeper discards his one glove and chases the ball. Batsmen meanwhile crossed on their 3rd when keeper threw the ball. The ball thrown by keeper first lands on that discarded glove and deflects and hits striker's end wicket while striker is still out of his ground. How would answer the appeal from fielding side?
A fair delivery (not a No-ball) was hit by the striker in the deep outfield. The moment ball lands in outfields on its first bounce, it splits into two pieces. One piece crosses the boundary and other piece stays in the field. A close-by fielder picks up the piece that was still in field and throws back to bowler, who whips off bails with a non-striker still out of his ground on the second run. At the moment the ball was split, both batsmen had crossed onto their first run. HOw would you answer the appeal from fielding side?
In a two-day match, last hour commences at 3:30pm. At 3:35pm, the batting side declared their innings so that other team will have to bat next. Time was called at 4:00pm by umpires due to rain, after 3.4 (3 overs, 4 balls) overs have been bowled. The umpires decided that play will restart at 4:10pm. How many overs remain to be bowled?
A wicket-keeper placed his helmet behind him, in-line with wickets, but not too far from him. A batsman plays a shot and ball takes top-edge and flies behind wickets. The wicket-keeper climbs up on that helmet and takes catch with his gloves and appeals. What will be your decision and actions? In the same scenario, what if wicket-keeper accidentally stepped up on helmet while moving back? Will there be a change in decision/actions?
What should an umpire do in a local league match, where no match referee, governing bodies, spectators are present, when a bowler almost hits the umpire. Basically he goes for hitting umpire but stops at very last moment?
What should an umpire do in above scenario, if bowler literraly hits umpire as he wasn't happy with decision given by umpire? What if the the hit was right after the first incident where fielding team captain had been warned of a bad behavior of his team from earlier incident where a bowler almost hit the umpire.

In a two-day match, last hour commences at 3:30pm. At 3:35pm, the batting side declared their innings so that other team will have to bat next. Time was called at 4:00pm by umpires due to rain, after 3.4 (3 overs, 4 balls) overs have been bowled. The umpires decided that play will restart at 4:10pm. How many overs remain to be bowled? To complete this question, a small necessary addition needs to be made, Say, the side had faced 5 balls of the first of the minimum overs when they declared the innings closed.
Here is the answer:
Part I
At closure of an innings during the last hour, the law requires that 2 calculations be done.
1. Overs Left Method:
19.1 left at declaration, which is not a whole number. Hence, rounded up to 20, the next whole number.
Deduct 3 overs for the 10-minute interval
- You are left with the figure 17.
2. Time Left Method:
55 minutes left at declaration less 10 for the interval. So, time left is 45 m divided by 3 to get the figure 15.
The batting side will face a minimum of 17 overs.The higher of the two figures obtained by means of the two calculations
After this point, all workings for future interruptions will be based on this figure of 17.
Part II
Deductions Method:
The previously decided 17 minus 4 (for 3.4 bowled) minus 3 for 10 minutes lost, leaving 10 overs. Not forgetting the 2 balls remaining of the incomplete over, on resumption, a minimum of 2 balls and 10 overs have to be bowled.
(Why 4 to be taken for 3.4?) I would recommend this to the student and even to the practical umpire for two reasons. - This is in keeping with 7.b.11 & - because it is better to deal in whole numbers in calculations. Secondly, taking this as 3, involves the risk of arriving at 11 in your calculations and adding 2 balls to it. This is a real risk and the umpire can end up with insisting on 21 during the last hour.

The ball thrown by keeper first lands on that discarded glove and deflects and hits striker's end wicket while striker is still out of his ground. How would answer the appeal from fielding side? The ball becomes dead when it strikes the glove lying on the ground. The umpire will, for the sake of propriety and to ensure that play, indeed, comes to a halt, will call and signal dead ball. 5 Penalty runs plus 3 runs will be allowed. Of course, there is no question of a batsman being dismissed. |

I would adjudge the wicket-keeper's action as unfair. I see it as having derived unfair advantage and would apply the provisions of Law 42.2.
It would make no difference to me if he has accidentally stepped on the helmet and taken the catch.
My advice to aspiring umpires would be to ensure that the helmet is placed sufficiently deep. And also to ensure that the helmet is placed in line with the wicket. Very often, one sees that, in a hurry, the helmet is placed either on the off or on the on, thus increasing the chances of the ball striking the helmet.

I, for one, would call dead ball when the ball breaks into two pieces.
I would be happier if the Laws allowed me not to count this ball as one of the over. It would only be fair.

Unfortunately, the Laws do not allow the umpire any action besides reporting to the authorities and team management.
But the ICC and several boards responsible for the conduct of matches have rules in place for fines and other censures. Some rules also allow the umpires to have the offending fielder removed for the remainder of the session. Other penalties continue to apply.
Tournaments of some level must have strong rules aimed at curbing bad behaviour.

Of course, there is no question of a batsman being dismissed. Additionally the deliberate discarding of the glove means that a report needs to be made to the club or body responsible for organising the match. |

Tournaments of some level must have strong rules aimed at curbing bad behaviour. While I agree with mrsinghindia about what the Laws of Cricket say (and his other comments too) there are other things to consider: (i) If the bowler actually strikes the umpire that is assault and the criminal law applies. (ii) The other umpire should be consulted about whether they are prepared to continue with the game - this is a circumstance where any umpire worth his salt should support his colleague. (iii) Depending on the fielding captain's attitude it might be suggested by both umpires that the only way to salvage his reputation and possibly avoid or reduce sanctions from the league would be to order the bowler to leave the field and take no further part in the match. (iv) Perhaps the views of the batting captain should be canvassed before deciding to take no further part in the game if that's what the umpires wish to do. |

Thanks for the value-addition, Jaybee.
I was restricting myself to the application of the Laws of Cricket. Certainly, personal and criminal laws do not stop in their application once you step onto the field of play.

Thanks for your replies, MrSinghIndia and Jaybee.
I will post some questions in future when I am unclear about those.
