Gilchrist: Why I walked

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Yes, I got 3 0s in a row when I 1st started playing, 2 LWBs going down leg-side and a catch that bounced. Luckly I was given more chances.

Was there video evidence of your 'LWB' decisions going down leg?

No one appealed yet the umpire gave it out...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

They didn't realize that it had hit L eg W icket B efore....

Which is illegal, and therefore you weren't out.

Tell me about it...

The umpire put his finger up so I had to go...

 

[marc71178]

No you didn't.

A batsman cannot be given out LWB or any other way if there is no appeal.

 

[Rik]

No you didn't.

A batsman cannot be given out LWB or any other way if there is no appeal.

You are seriously over-estimating the fairness of Pub-Team cricket...

 

[marc71178]

Could've refused to go, since there was no appeal.

Probably...but I wouldn't have been allowed a pint...I was 14 remember :saint:

I have more respect for the players who walk when they know they're out. A couple of hand-

Brian Lara
Andy Flower
Jonty Rhodes
Shiv Chanderpaul
Adam Gilchrist

Sorry read this post just now. Andy Flower doesn't walk. If you had seen the India and Zim match then you will agree with me. He had nicked a huge inside edge to Dravid off the bowling of Srinath and the ump. gave it not out and he didn't walk. Does Gilchrist walk? I think he did it only one time. I haven't seen him walking before the WC even though he edged it.
