If a ball pitches outside the leg stump, you can not be lbw. This applies to both right and left handers, though with most bowlers being right handed, you tend to notice this more with left handed batsman. As soon as ball is seen to pitch outside leg, no need to carry on with review.

If ball was allowed to pitch outside leg, you would get loads of lbw’s as harder for a batsman to hit a ball outside his legs. (Unless you are Steve Smith)

Thank you (and Fundy) for the explanation. It seems perfectly reasonable because my very limited experience of cricket led me to wonder how the hell the batsman stays in. I could never see the ball over medium pace and getting out gave me quite a sense of "having survived "😀

I've come to this realisation after watching cricket for a while, England bowlers are f'ing dumb. It's taken Broad 12 years to realise he gets his best results when he pitches it up.

For far too long they seem to have got caught up in the machismo of bowling too many bouncers, failing to realise that the surprise of a bouncer is more effective than the actual bouncer itself.

i can't quite make out why the aussies are showing mock concern after hitting a batsman on the head,esp after every ball was bowled straight at his head???

what did they think was going to happen?

Is it really mock concern when you consider it was one of their teammates who died from being hit on the head - they aren’t trying to hurt someone
 
Can we bowl them out cheaply tomorrow and then crack on and set a competitive total. I think its going to be hard to force a result tomorrow but you never know. A couple of quick wickets and get a lead and hopefully we can steal a win
 
top top class cricket this Archer vs Smith. almost has a feel of Donald to Atherton all those years ago :)

going to be a temptation to overbowl Archer, England really need to make sure hes properly managed!

Ouch that doesn’t look good at all

This battle between the two is immense and top top cricket - proper test cricket right here that imo beats anything a white ball can do - Archer may not be the best in the world right now but at this rate it won’t be long , it’s a spell of bowling that both Donald and Lee would be proud off and any other batsmen would be sitting down now - but Smith is giving as good and I bet until that he was loving it

the ones on the back? think theyre random/self chosen, not sure there is any meaning to them

the small ones on their chest/cap is the number of player they are to represent England

They were the ones I (pp Mrs. BiM :)) meant; so Bairstow is the 652nd player to represent England, yes?

Looks like he's overbowling him already, into his 28th over with a 5 man attack before 2nd new ball.

Yet still releasing the ball at 90 plus MPH - right now he is in the groove , every captain would keep him going a couple more.
