If a batsman is out legitimately but the fielders don’t appeal, would the umpire rule him out?

When person is out and the batsman doesnt agree with that then fielders should appeal then the umpire can declare him out. If opposition team does not appeal then umpire cannot give him out.

not illegal if they play the ball. Only commits foul if takes player without ball.\nThe Grey area is that it is at the discretion of the ref as to the outcome.

Standard is certainly better. In India, the so called stars skip these domestic matches. If you see a domestic match, the umpiring standard is ridiculous. See, there is no umpire from India in the elite panel. Regarding failure of county stars, it is the surface and conditions they play. An Indian player going there gets used to playing in deifferent conditions there and helps improve his game.

This has happened to me several times. The Umpire did not signal the batter out (unless he verbalized "batter is out") rather, he signaled the third strike, assuming he was using the hammer. I NEVER call a batter out on strke three, nor do most umpires. I will verbalize "batter is out" if he attempts a run to first on a D3K when he is not entitled to do so. \n\nYou had 2 outs, so the runner had the right to attempt first on the D3K, but once he entered the dugout, he was out. This would have been a "force out" for the third and no runs could score. If the runner ran TO the dugout, but not INTO the dugout, he could still attempt first.\n\n The "baseline" has no bearing on this play. The "basepath" would be the route the runner takes when he attempts first base. He can vary the path all he wants, unless he is avoiding a tag, then the 3' rule applies. He also can not take a step backwards (towards home) but ONLY if he is avoiding a tag. A runner going to any other base may run backwards to avoid a tag, (thats called a rundown).\n\nAlso, being "touched by another coach" has no bearing unless the coach physically aided him. A push would be considered aid. \n\nAs for a protest, did you protest or argue? A protest would have been a mis-application of a playing rule by an umpire. If the runner had entered the dugout, and the umpire tells you he can the go to first, that would be a protestable situation if your league allows protests. Some do not. Anything else would have been arguing, and you would be a candidate for ejection! If the runner was sent after entering the dugout, and protests are not allowed in your league, I would probably have argued too!

Little League to Major League, the rules are the same. There are no appeals of an Umpires ruling on a play. A coach can ask if the Umpire would ask his partner for help, but the Umpire is not bound by rule to do such. If a coach feels the Umpire has mis-applied, or mis interpreted a playing rule he may protest the game. I the protest is later upheld, the game will be replayed from that point.

I think the decision of whether a ball is fair or foul - in the case of a disputed homer - is a fair item for replay.  It's not a knock on the umpires, but those calls can be tough to make when they happen as quickly as they do.\n\nOther than that, though, I don't like the idea of replay in baseball.  Sure, umpires make occasional bad and questionable calls on other plays (safe/out calls), but I don't think it happens as often as we sometimes think.  I'm also not sure that replay would make a difference on many of those calls, because they're likely to often be inconclusive, like many calls in the NFL.\n\nI'm very wary of replay because I've seen how ineffective it can be in the NFL.  For every one they rule on properly, there are several that just leave me scratching my head.  I don't want to see baseball go through those same pains.\n\nBaseball is a great sport, with umpires that generally do an outstanding job.  I'd hate to see their role reduced, or called into question, on a regular basis.  If we're going to start using replay for many cases, why not just cut out the umpires and make all the calls from upstairs?

No! After he contacts the ball, one or both feet can come crashing down on the plate provided neither foot was touching the ground outside the batters box during his hitting of the ball.\n\nMLB rule 6.06\nA batter is out for illegal action when --\n(a) He hits a ball with one or both feet on the ground entirely outside the batter’s box.\nRule 6.06(a) Comment: If a batter hits a ball fair or foul while out of the batter’s box, he shall be called out. \n\n\nIf a batter, batting from the right side of the plate, steps on home plate to intentionally interfere with the catcher attempting to make a play on his hit ball, the batter will be called out for interference, not because he stepped on home plate but because he caused interference by not running directly to first base.\n\nIf you are asking a trick question, :) the answer is still no, stepping on home plate to complete an inside the park home run is required.

You said the ball was not yet foul, so it would still be in play after bouncing off the 3rd baseman.\n\nI hope you aren't asking this in the middle of a game....lol

THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT..ALWAYS FAVOURS THE BATSMAN.\n\nTHE UMPIRES SUSPECT THAT, WHEN A BALL PITCHED OUT OF LEG STUMP HEADING TOWARDS THE WICKET IS NOT HAS A STRAIGHTER LINE.\nIT MAY PASS THE OFF-STUMP.\nSO, THEY NORMALLY DONT RULE THE BATSMAN OUT.

- Any one can criticise the action of a bowler from \n  Batsman to Umpire.\n- But the ICC evaluates the bowlers bowling action and \n  declares whether its legal or not.\n- ICC has a set of rules/procedures which determine how to \n  evaluate a bowlers throwing action.\n- Recently ICC amended its rules in case of Shoaib \n  Akhthars case and concluded his action is because of his \n  physical defect and hence its assumed as a legal action \n  and its cleared.\n- So to avoid further crisis it amended the law as the \n  straight should not go beyond 15 degree agree. And \n  bowling action within this constraint will be treated as \n  legal.

Of course, but they would remain in the position of DH throughout the game. If they send their designated hitter into the field, however, then they would lose the DH and the pitcher would have to bat.

A runner is NOT out if the ball first passes a fielder who has had a chance at fielding the ball.  The ball is alive and in play.

while facing a delivery if the ball happen to pitch in line with any three stumps and hit the batsman's pad without touching the bat again in line with the stumpsthen he is considered OUT\nin case of a spinner if the ball doesnt pitch in line of the stumps but appears to be hitting the stumps then still the batsman is given OUT\nif the batsman doesnt appear to be hitting a shot and if the ball doesnt pitch in line of the stumps and appears to be hitting the stumps then without any doubt he is given OUT

Yes it is possible.  The first batsmen hits the ball and they run either 1 or 3.  The fielder throws an overthrow (where the fields accidently miss the ball) so further runs or potentially a four are additionally scored.  \n\nSay in this instance, the batters run 1 and there is an overthrow of 4.  That gives the first batsmen his century and puts the other batsmen on strike with 1 run remaining.  The second batsmen hits a 4 or a 6 to win the game and also get his century.

You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out. When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay all out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game!

I wouldn't think so. That game is played with only one ball so if another ball happened to be on the field I imagine game play would stop or the 2nd ball would be ignored until game play could be stopped.

1.Time-out: If a batsmen doesn't come to the crease after the fall of the wicket the batsmen should come with in a stipulated amount of time otherwise he is considered as out.\n\n2.Handling the ball: A batsmen is not allowed to catch the ball with his hand after the bowler bowls .\n\n3.Hit-Wicket: A batsmen is considered out if he unknowingly hits the wickets(the bells should fall) with his legs or any other part of the body.\n\n4.Obstructing The field: The best example that can be given is the way inziman ul haq was out recently .
