Tracking a medium pacer, whilst batting a foot outside my crease, ended up about 2 metres down, got triggered. Even hawk eye couldn't have predicted the path of that ball haha

[BatNutters]

It was the 5th ball of the match and I went forward and tried to flick the ball on the leg side but the ball reared up and hit my glove, the ball went straight to ground and the umpy gave me out LBW!!!!! I was ropeable and I'll bet you anything the oppositions reps umpire tried to get me out because I killed them last time 73 off 80.........what's more we lost by one run!!!!

Given out stumped a foot inside my crease, to say I was steaming was an understatement

Mine was more frustration with myself rather than a bad decision.

I had just moved on to 51 after nicking the strike from the final ball of the the 15th over. The second change bowler came on and I decided for some reason, that if he was 2nd change seeing what the 2 openers were like, that I would get after him and cash in.

How wrong I was. He pitched the ball on middle and as I tried flicking him into the legside it nipped back and hit the top of off.

In a game when we were casing 336 to win and having been 34 for 4, our number 6 and me got stuck in.  We had got the run rate to what was required and having just taken 8 off the over already and taking me to 71, hit a full toss straight through the V for it only to hit my number 6 on the back. This was as he was turning to get out of the way and it popped up for the bowler to catch it. Gutted!!!!

you'll be even more gutted to find out that you should have been given not out as the ball was considered grounded after contact with the non striker...

Andrew Symonds got out in the same way against Sri Lanka, he hit the ball into Clarke and it deflected to the midwicket fielder.

shouldn't have been - non striker and a fielder's helmet are the exceptions!

I don't read Law 32 in that way. As far as I am concerned the batsman should be out in those circumstances. The law is clear - dead ball if it hits the fielders helmet or if it lodges in an item of clothing, otherwise the ball is "in play".

Agree with you:

3. A fair catch
A catch shall be considered to have been fairly made if
(a) throughout the act of making the catch
(e) a fielder catches the ball after it has touched an umpire, another fielder or the other batsman.
However, it is not a fair catch if the ball has previously touched a protective helmet worn by a fielder. The ball will then remain in play.

my batting partner ran past the stumps, then we attempted to run an overthrow but the umpire decided to stick his arm out and closeline my partner and knock him over (big umpire) , whilst im half way down the wicket, and i end up strolling back to the pavillion!

Looped up an easy catch off a Leading edge on 100 with 8 over left annoyed me as I grafted hard to reach it and was looking forward to cutting loose and playing my more natural game with the last few overs remaining!
