In that situation that'd be Interfering with Play, covered under the Unfair play laws.As a question:
Buttler got a free hit this week after the ball "stuck" in the hand of the netherlands journeyman bowler and it bounced twice and buttler smacked it for 6.
Today the NZ lad got caught off his team mates bat.
So: If a guy hit a ball in the air back down the ground and his team mate rushed up and smacked it for 6 would the guy who chipped it up get 6? would it be a piece of foul play? how would this be umpired?
62 - 6. Could be an innings defeat

Who'd have thunk it. What an amazing game cricket is. Shame it's so boring62 - 6. Could be an innings defeat

Overton goes for 97. Absolutely gutted. Would have been 2nd player to get test wicket and 100 on debut after WG Grace.
