Yuva Nataratna Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]Steven Finn is developing into one of the finest fast bowlers in the world but every time his knee buckles and he collides with the stumps in his delivery stride, I throw up my hands in despair at the failure to introduce a simple change to the Law that would address the issue for all time.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]The MCC indicated that the Laws [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-south-africa-2012/content/story/575278.html"]would be reviewed[/url] after the [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/534226.html"]2012 Headingley Test[/url], when South Africa's captain, Graeme Smith, was reprieved after edging to first slip, because Finn had dislodged the bails at the non-striker's end with his knee and umpire Steve Davis had called dead ball.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]Davis cited Law 23.4 (vi), stating that Smith had been distracted. It later transpired that both South Africa batsmen had previously complained to the umpires that Finn's habit of knocking into the stumps was off-putting.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]The dead-ball ruling protects the batsmen from dismissal but does not reward them with runs. The Law needs to be changed. The solution is staring everybody in the face. The ruling should not be a dead ball, it should be a no-ball. That way the batsman always gets whatever benefits accrue and an extra delivery as well. If batsmen stumble into the stumps in the process of playing a shot, they are given out hit-wicket. For bowlers to suffer a no-ball would be the least they deserve.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]Meanwhile, Finn needs to stop kicking the stumps and kick the habit instead.[/size][/font][/color] [color=#333333][font=Tahoma][size=3]Source: [url="http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/601315.html"]http://www.espncrici...ory/601315.html[/url][/size][/font][/color]
