Why Changing The Laws of LBW Would Be A Bad Move?

 Leg Before Wicket or LBW is among the ways through which a batsman can be dismissed in cricket. It is decided according to several series of instances that entails the ball hitting the batsman’s body (especially their leg) which otherwise would have easily hit the wicket. This rule was actually defined to prevent the batsman from using their body to save their wicket rather than using their bat to do so.

In spite of the mainly focused word in LBW - Leg, a batsman would be considered dismissed if he will use any other part of his body to prevent the ball from hitting the wicket except for the glove which is thought to be the part of the bat. Moreover, for the batter to be adjudged LBW, the ball must pitch in line with or on the offside of the wickets. However, if we talk about changing this rule, what are the disadvantages that it would cause in the match.

Being the best Cricket Betting Tips provider, Bhaiji will let you know about the consequences of changing the laws of LBW as suggested by Ian Chappell in the ESPN CricInfo. First of all, it will empower the negative bowling. Let’s say if Mr Chappell gets his wish fulfilled, then a normal delivery pitching which is outside the stump can end in a wicket, so why wouldn’t bowlers try to do that? This will encourage too much negative bowling that will not at all favour the game.

According to our CBTF, it will also swing the balance too far the other way i.e. the game which is currently considered as a batsman’s sport but with LBW law it maintains the balance between the ball and bat. However, if this rule will change then it wouldn’t matter where the ball pitches or hits the batsman would be dismissed in an instant. As a result, the bowlers will get too much advantage and the number of low scores will also increase.

So it can be said the LBW rule is neither broken nor need to be fixed! Besides, it will cause more damage than making a cricket match better.
