1. When out of his ground
A batsman shall be considered to be out of his ground
unless his bat or some part of his person is grounded
behind the popping crease at that end.
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.
3. Position of non-striker
The batsman at the bowler's end should be positioned
on the opposite side of the wicket to that from which
the ball is being delivered, unless a request to do
otherwise is granted by the umpire. |
