Obstructing the batsman
|
|
Crossing the batsman’s path in a way that opens up a chance of a run-out. Miandad was annoyed when Lillee stood in his way. So he pushed him out of his way and Lillee then kicked him. A needless controversy because Pakistan was out for 62 and lost the match. Their lowest score.

Off the mark

Phew! Saved from the prospects of a duck! Now let us build an innings one run at a time.

|
Offer the light
|
|
Offer the batsman a chance to stop play because of poor visibility. Offer a light is what you do when you are out of regular beer.
|
|

|
|
On a hat trick
|
|
The bowler got two batsmen down in consecutive balls. The third batsman is sweating!
