LAW 36 LEG BEFORE WICKET
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 strikers 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.
(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 the ball might have pitched subsequently or not.
The off side of the strikers wicket shall be determined by the strikers stance at
the moment the ball comes into play for that delivery.
