Louis Kimber violates Obstructing The Field: A strange incident took place during the County Championship match between Gloucestershire and Leicestershire. Lewis Kimber was given out for obstructing the match. Kimber got out unfortunately and would like to forget it soon.
The County Championship is being played in England. The incident took place in the match between Gloucestershire and Leicestershire. Louis Kimber, batting on 34, defended a ball. The ball bounced close by and Kimber caught it with his right hand. The Leicestershire players appealed.
The on-field umpire declared Louis Kimber out after talking among themselves. The umpires believed that if the batsman had not caught the ball, it would have hit the stumps. Lewis Kimber will never forget this unfortunate dismissal.
Explain that the rule under which the umpire declared Lewis Kimber out called Obstructing The Field. This has been explained in detail in Rule 37 of the Marylebone Cricket Club ie MCC, the rule-making body of cricket.
According to the rules, if any batsman, when the ball is in the playing area, intentionally disturbs the fielding team and by any action to catch the ball, obstructs or distracts the attention of the fielder, then he can be given out.
Not only this, if the batsman intentionally tries to catch or remove the ball with his hand while playing the ball, he can be given out under the Obstructing The Field rule.
