Run out stuff up

[Dave]

Nice to see the umps still don't know the rules wrt run outs. Richardson left his crease and went back and as such he is the one who should have been run out as the other batsman had made his ground before the bails were broken at the other end.

Bloody stupid anyway as had Richardson ran he would have made it. Wasn't his call either.

Mark Richardson has got be one of the worst one-day cricketers [he isn't much better at Test cricket].
He has know idea about running between the wickets.

He apparently desperately wanted to show the NZ selectors that he can play One dayers as well as tests and was eventually given a go. So far he has showed that he can't play cricket full stop.

Dave,

I thought it didn't matter if the batsman left his crease as long as he was the first to make his ground. It's leaving your partner for dead though which is very ordinary batting!!

Law 38. 3. Which batsman is out
The batsman out in the circumstances of 1 above is the one whose ground is at the end where the wicket is put down. See Law 2.8 (Transgression of the Laws by a batsman who has a runner) and Law 29.2 (Which is a batsman’s ground).

Law 29. 2. Which is a batsman’s ground
(a) If only one batsman is within a ground
(i) it is his ground.
(ii) it remains his ground even if he is later joined there by the other batsman.
(b) If both batsmen are in the same ground and one of them subsequently leaves it, (a)(i) above applies.
(c) If there is no batsman in either ground, then each ground belongs to whichever of the batsmen is nearer to it, or, if the batsmen are level, to whichever was nearer to it immediately prior to their drawing level.
(d) If a ground belongs to one batsman, then, unless there is a striker with a runner, the other ground belongs to the other batsman irrespective of his position.
(e) When a batsman with a runner is striker, his ground is always that at the wicket-keeper’s end. However, (a), (b), (c) and (d) above will still apply, but only to the runner and the non-striker, so that that ground will also belong to either the non-striker or the runner, as the case may be.


So from that, whoever got to the nonstrikers end first, so perhaps they didn't stuff it up. Looks like the rules have changed since the last time I looked.

*New Zealand Record. Fastest ever batsman to 1,000 test runs by innings.

Obvious hack What with his test batting average at 54.

Any bloke who begins his career as a bowler, loses confidence in his action, reinvents himself as a batsman, persists in the wilderness of NZ first class cricket for 10 years before excelling in test cricket is all right in my books.

Tell me what actually happened and I'll give you the answer.

Striker (McCullum) pushed the ball to mid off, called and ran.

Non-Striker (Richardson) said no turned around and grounded his bat.

Both batsman ended up behind the popping crease at the non-strikers end.

Bails removed at strikers end.

Batsman never crossed so McCullum is out. Right?

 

[WCE2000]

The decision was right, as Richardson reached the crease at the non-strikers end first, meaning that the non-strikers end is 'his ground'

Even though when the bails where taken off, McCullum was further away from the stumps then Richardson, because they are both past the crease it is then decided that they are both the same distance (20 metres) from the stumps.

And because Richardson reached that distance first, McCullum was out. Correct decision.


had they been in the middle of the wicket, then Richardson would've been out.

 

[Booze Hound]

Yup

McCullum out.

Quite simple.

They must cross on the pitch (the area between the two sets of stumps).

Basic stuff.
