The Cricket Thread

Strange decision. Cox had the catch under control then Bell-Drummond crashed into him! Surely he was out.

Cox was in contact with Bell-Drummond who was in contact with the boundary so a 6 was the correct decision
 
Is that the rule Phil, or an assumption based on the rule we know about treading on the boundary? I would have thought the ball was dead once the catch was taken? Bumble says it’s should be out…

Amazing fielding for the last catch!

There is a rule about helping someone take the catch so that he could be stood on the rope lifting the player up and he catches the ball. The one issue was when the catch is “complete” -
 
Think Bumble just explained it well enough, the catch was taken and completed whilst the catcher was nowhere near the boundary. What the fella is doing laying on the floor is irrelevant. It’s Out!
 
The catcher wasn’t stood on the boundary
But the catcher was in contact with someone stood on the boundary. But then the umpire did get LBW to a ball missing by a significant amount
 
Bell Drummond was on his arse looking the other way - there was NO intent to help

The umpires with the help of the third umpire made the call and even now people are split about it
