I am 45 years old and have been a cricket fan since childhood. I have always considered myself as extremely knowledgeable about cricket. Because of this, I have got into many arguments with friends. I have been officiating in club matches for many years, as an umpire. You may be wondering what this all this has got to do with cricinfosite.com. Allow me to explain.
I recently refused to give a batsman out LBW, because of which the batting team won a match they should have otherwise lost. Then I chanced upon cricinfosite.com. There were many interesting articles on the laws of cricket that explored exceptional situations that merit debate, but are never raised.
As I got engrossed in the site, I came across an article bearing the title Can A batsman be out LBW to a ball pitched outside the leg stump? After reading the article, I felt extremely guilty. Because I realized that the batsman I had allowed to survive had actually been out. And nobody pointed out th reason to me. The players were appealing loudly but they accepted my decision quietly. And all the time I have been wrong. It has taken me nearly four decades of following cricket to understand the LBW law, thanks to a website. If you think I am praising this site so highly only for this one thing, you are mistaken.
Also, this site is not only about cricket. I am fond of many other games like snooker and golf. And this website has articles on these too. I am truly impressed.
