Its been done before ...Unlikely to happen, but what if SA is nine down and needs to survive an over? Would Duminy limp out and face up? He wouldn't have to run.

10.6 | Pattinson to Amla, 1 no ball, bowled him! But umpire Rauf is checking if Pattinson had over-stepped. He has! It's a no-ball. Amla bowled off a no-ball. It was full and fast in the blockhole just outside off stump, Amla tried to squeeze it out but got an inside edge on to his stumps. Australia's joy is short lived. That's four wickets off no-balls in this Test. Two to each team. |

No happy - that is just the basics
20.5 | Pattinson to Smith, OUT, caught at gully, and look at Pattinson go! Smith drives hard at a fuller ball outside off stump and gets a thick outside edge that flies low and to Quiney's right, he takes his second good catch of the match. Pattinson's won his battle with slip |
GC Smith c Quiney b Pattinson 23 (67b 3x4 0x6) SR: 34.32 |
Front-foot rule says that part of the bowlers foot (shoe) needs to be clearly shown behind the line at the point of foot impact with the ground - on the line is not sufficient. The foot can slide forward in the act of bowling the ball.Afraid this sort of stuff makes me want to stop watching cricket! I'm not familiar with the details of the old 'back-foot' no-ball rule but Richie has been banging on for 30 years about how they should bring it back in, so that's good enough for me.
26.5 | Siddle to Kallis, no run, another loud appeal for a caught behind and Wade flings the ball in the air in celebration. Asad Rauf says not out. Australia have no reviews left. Siddle bowled a supremely directed short ball and Kallis swayed his head out of the way. He did not drop his wrists though and the ball was very close to the glove. I'll have to wait for replays. Once again Hot Spot shows nothing on the glove. |
32.5 | Siddle to Amla, OUT, caught at short cover! Siddle bowls a length ball outside off, Amla leans forward to drive and hits it straight to Hussey, who catches it at knee height, a loose shot really |
HM Amla c Hussey b Siddle 38 (82b 3x4 1x6) SR: 46.34 |
31.6 | Lyon to Kallis, FOUR, and again, Kallis steps out and lofts over Lyon's head, hits it flatter this time for four, forcing umpire Bowden to duck and fall to the ground |
31.5 | Lyon to Kallis, SIX, Kallis comes out of his crease, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts with a straight bat right over the bowler's head. The ball crashes into the ad boards beyond the boundary |
31.4 | Lyon to Kallis, no run, Kallis moves forward and pushes towards mid-on, Hussey is in the circle now |
31.3 | Lyon to Amla, 1 run, Amla comes out of his crease again and drives to Hussey at long on |
31.2 | Lyon to Kallis, 3 runs, Kallis goes back and across and glances the ball past the man at leg slip |
31.1 | Lyon to Kallis, FOUR, tossed up on middle and leg, Kallis gets down on one knee and sweeps powerfully to the backward square leg boundary |
No, 2.5 hours to go:Three hours to go?
No, 2.5 hours to go:
Hours of play (local time): 09:30am start, Lunch 12.00-12.40, Tea 14.40-15.00, Close 17.00
unless in the umpires opinion, a result could be obtained (ie. Aust could bowl out SA), then another 30 minutes is allowed IIRC.
I'm pretty sure that 15 overs need to be bowled in the last hour, unless both captains agree that a result is unlikely.
On the last day of play, a minimum of 75 overs must be bowled before the last hour of play begins. If the time one hour before the scheduled end of play arrives without 75 overs having been bowled, the last hour of play does not begin until after 75 overs have been completed.
Once the last hour of play begins, a further 15 overs must be bowled. Play actually ends either:
- one hour after the last hour begins, or
- after 15 overs have been bowled from the time the last hour began,
48.5 | Lyon to Kallis, OUT, Lyon has a wicket, Clarke's taken a sharp catch at first slip! Kallis pushed forward to defend at one that slid across him from round the wicket and edged it. Clarke took the catch low to his right, near his boot |
