1. Out LBW
The striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out
below.
(a) The bowler delivers a ball, not being a No ball
and (b) the ball, if it is not intercepted full pitch,
pitches in line between wicket and wicket or on the
off side of the striker's wicket
and (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat,
the striker intercepts the ball, either full-pitch or
after pitching, with any part of his person and (d)
the point of impact, even if above the level of the
bails either (i) is between wicket and wicket or (ii)
is either between wicket and wicket or outside the line
of the off stump if the striker has made no genuine
attempt to play the ball with his bat and (e) but for
the interception, the ball would have hit the wicket.
2. Interception of the ball
(a) In assessing points (c), (d) and (e) in 1 above
only the first interception is to be considered.
(b) In assessing point (e) in 1 above, it is to be assumed
that the path of the ball before interception would
have continued after interception, irrespective of whether
it might have pitched subsequently or not.
3. Off side of wicket
The off side of the striker's wicket shall be determined
by the striker's stance at the moment the ball comes
into play for that delivery.
