Do you every time walk, when you nick it?
before umpire's finger🤔

Yes

As soon as you know the catch is taken waddle off

I imagine if we put this to a test with hotspot, snicko, etc we would find this is nonsense.

Only need to watch a few games worth of highlights to find batsmen reviewing ones they've feathered, do you think they believe they can 'beat' the technology? Or do you believe you're the only person in the history of the game who has never nicked one and not realised?

Usually they think they�ve hit it (ground, pad).

Still, this sadly is one of the things that people are ether happy to stand, appeal etc or play honestly. It divides the game and can be muted as a reason why games turn nasty or put people off playing.

So simple to fix too

I don't think we can say that not walking is cheating since there is no law stating that if a batsman believes he has hit the ball he must walk.

What we have here is a morality issue and we all live our lives very differently. What is black and white for one person is a grey area for another and if there is no specific law governing the act, it can't be labelled as cheating.

Personally, I'm a walker. Always have been and always will be. If I know 100% (and as others have stated you can't always be but if I'm certain) that I hit it, gloved it.... whatever and the umpire doesn't give it, I'm still walking because I know that I am out.

McManus must have known what he was doing but carried it through, he had a chance to call the bat back. For me it is not exactly the same as someone [knowingly] snicking one and not walking. Whilst I feel that both are immoral acts, one is cheating and the other is just poor sportsmanship.

You think it should there should be something written into the laws?

So you're acknowledging that elite cricketers who play for a living don't always know whether they've hit the ball or not?

I have heard some some that they always know. And even suggest that anyone saying otherwise is lying.

I think it would be possible to feather a ball without knowing, but it would be a very rare occurance.

Agree, 99% of the time you know you've nicked it or not. But I remember this one time when I was given out for nicking while driving and I was absolutely shocked cause I felt like I definitely hadn't nicked it but even my partner said I did so yeah.

It might be that the keeper sees the ball so close to the bar and thinks it's a nick and goes in the air for a caught behind, while it's not nicked.
Otherwise it seems very unlikely that a batsman doesn't know that he hasn't nicked it.
In other words, according to Jeffrey Boycott, if a batsman doesn't look behind he's not nicked it!

I'm no chest but I don't walk ever it the umpire job to give me out not mine.

Call it cheating whatever them the rules my job to bat his is to make a decision however there one cabiat.. never moan about a bad decison as it his job and like players umpires make mistakes too

That's one way of doing things 🙂

At club level,
do you think it has to do with playing games:
1x week or 3/4x week?

We'll put it this way if I'm smoking them at practice feeling balanced with good movement and striking and in Saturday I feather one with no appeal I'm not walking not a chance. How many times have people seen somebody just walk off without an appeal !!!

Jimbo · « **Reply #43 on:** April 15, 2021, 08:21:44 PM »

Flipside of the walking argument in club cricket, how often do you get an absolute stinker of a decision when you know you're not out? IMO, let the umpire make the decision, don't cause a scene when you get a bad one, accept that in the long run it will probably balance itself out.

AJ2014 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 15, 2021, 08:52:05 PM »

If you've nicked it and everyone in the field is appealing, and you're still looking for umpire's decision? Don't think that's right attitude.
