Bowler attempting to run-out
non-striker before delivery (Tests, ODIs and T20Is)
Previously, the bowler could only
run out a non-striker backing up if he did so before he had entered his
delivery stride. This meant that as the bowler's back foot landed, the
non-striker could move down the wicket before the bowler actually delivered the
ball, gaining an unfair advantage.
The following new playing
condition 42.11 addresses this point and reads as follows:
"The bowler is permitted,
before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery
swing, to attempt to run out the non-striker. Whether the attempt is successful
or not, the ball shall not count as one of the over. If the bowler fails in an
attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball
as soon as possible."
It should be noted that umpires
shall deem the bowler to have completed his delivery swing once his bowling arm
passes the normal point of ball release.
If Chris Gayle attempts run out the Batsman will out!!!
