Tom Moody weighs in on waist-high no-ball debate; former RCB star responds
Recently, an incident surrounding a no-ball controversy that happened during a fixture between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) received a lot of flak from fans and pundits alike. During SRH's batting, on the third ball of the 19th over, the third umpire reckoned that the batter was crouching a little. The ball-tracker, however, showed that the delivery would have gone well over the stumps.
The decision from the third-umpire shocked Klaasen and Samad who had a chat with square leg umpire who looked puzzled himself. However, the game resumed and Heinrich Klaasen's top-edged a short delivery which went for a four. The drama soon followed.
Echoing on the same lines, former SRH coach Tom Moody tweeted saying, "The interpretation of the full pitch #NoBall is becoming increasingly inconsistent. It needs simplifying, possible solution - If the projected path of the ball is above bail height it’s deemed a No Ball. Thoughts?"
As a solution Moody suggested, "Yes, I do understand batters are all different heights but so is the position they’re in at point of contact, just simplify to eliminate subjectivity."
