If it misses leg stump it used to be called a wide in ODI's regardless of where the batsmen positioned himself
20o/20 has relaxed the rule

Bowlers will be back after the 28th so in time for finals
Likely we may lose a player or two to T20i duties though which runs during the Big Bash finals

First T20I is on 3rd Feb. BBL semis are 1st and 2nd Feb and the final is on the 4th
Why would they play T20i during the ******* finals.
Not really. Most of the time they still call them.
Which is how it should be. If it's missing leg stump by a skerrick it shouldn't be a wide.
Yeah Thats downright ridiculous... something something you want the best players playing??

To a degree- but we have a test series to SA that is a LOT more important than a domestic T20. I love the BBL, watch it religiously but if by finishing the series a few days earlier means our players get to SA 2 days earlier, then that is a good idea.

But you have to draw the line somewhere
A skerrick isn't a measure in elite sports
If it misses leg stump it is a wide in the short format, end of.
Obviously we have the contentious issue of shoulder high when batsmen duck ever so slightly, but wide down the leg side is black and white
Whatever Perf do it again
The finals will have no credibility if sides with national players out are picked.
T20I side will probably include Short, Finch, Turner, Tye, Richardson, White, Agar, and possibly Ahmed, Head, Stanlake, all big players for finals/possibly finals bound teams.

Yeah maybe(your def right about the tests in SA ), in this instance it still kinda feels more a commercial decision than anything tho- CA again cramming as much in as possible
Interesting as sports media have maintained all week we’ve got it in the bag if we’d won tonight... but turns out that’s not true! 3 winnables games for Renegades, how was this missed?
BBL clearly trumps ODI already, and probably does for the int T20 as well. Atm Intentational duties always trump domestic but I get the feeling one day it will change.

The summer is ready to get back into the Shield season, we need players having some red ball cricket before the tour to SA starts. It isn't ideal that the BBL does suffer, but the best side will win anyway.
They could have not scheduled a T20I tri series then.

That I agree with. If they had to schedule it, should have been before the ODI's.

There is literally a line outside leg stump on either side for guidance, which they ignore half the time.
I've seen that mark but I've never seen it used.
It's the inconsistency that rubs me up the wrong way. I've seen balls outside leg stump that don't get called because the batsmen moved inside it and I've seen balls that basically go over the top of leg stump but behind the batsman and get called a wide.
Maybe there is something in the playing conditions for T20 but I can't honestly say what constitutes a leg side wide and what doesn't. I think I'm not the only one who should be saying that.

i heard one of commentators mention something like 'if you move the stumps move with you' but that doesnt make any sense.
what happens then if i bat a foot outside off stump and get bowled? is it a wide?
i honestly have no idea what the rule is and with the inconsistent and generally piss poor standard of umpiring its hard to work it out.
definitely my pet peeve. The same with when someone "backs away" and the ball is sent a mile outside off. It seems like if you move its automatically impossible to be a wide.
the over the helmet wide on bouncers you will see literally 3-4 wrong calls every BBL match. Not sure how they keep getting that one wrong.
hmm is that for calling of legside wides? I thought it was simply if it was outside leg it was automatically a wide.
iirc a couple of years back the ball actually nicked the leg stump and was still given a wide!

That mark is not used to gauge leg side wides.
