To quote Wikipedia, "[t]he basis of the law is that, following an appeal by the fielding side, the umpire may rule a batsman out lbw if the ball would have struck the wicket but was intercepted by any part of the batsman's body except the hand holding his bat".<br /><br />Re baseball, I think that at one point, possibly during WW2, a one-armed man played in the major leagues. Cricket Australia could not do any worse.<br /><br />Your tag "and if it doesn't work PNG can have 'em" might well be adopted for general use to describe a gigantic snafu. Just as "knitted the kangaroo" is becoming our equivalent to "jumped the shark".rafikinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-57807565611847379712013-07-22T16:21:23.205+10:002013-07-22T16:21:23.205+10:00Unfortunately, Prof, the size of the batmen and th...Unfortunately, Prof, the size of the batmen and their pads makes no difference to the lbw law. A midget can get hit in the head and still be given out lbw.
