Out or not out? Tammy Beaumont escapes the obstruction of the field controversy in Eng vs Ind 2nd Women’s

A moment of controversy arose during the Second hatred of women between England and India in Lord’s when workshop of England Tammy Beaumont was involved in an attractiveness of “field obstruction”. The incident, although it was finally ruled in favor of the batter, has shocked a debate on how laws are interpreted and applied to the international women’s cricket.

Tammy Beaumont’s next call explodes controversy

In the fifth of the entrances of England, Deepti Sharma delivered a more complete ball to Beaumont, which led it to Rodrogue to short MidwKet. Rodrigues made a quick lap on the ball and pointed a launch toward the goalkeeper, Richa ghosh. Beaumont, having aborted a single attempt, was walking again. He placed his left foot inside the fold, but then it seemed to turn his right foot to the incoming throw, similar to an effort to divert it.

Although no contact with the ball was made, India campers quickly resorted to “obstructing the field”, calling for deliberate interference. After a field consultation, the decision referred to the third referee, who, after the review, awarded Beaumont “not out”.

What laws say about field obstruction

According to MCC Law 37.1.1A batter can be given to obstruct the field if they try to obstruct or distract the side of the field while the ball is at stake, except for some specific exceptions exposed to clause 37.2 (accidental obstruction, avoidance of injuries or lawful defense of doctors).

It is important to note that the law does not exempt a player who is already inside the fold. If a player intentionally interferes with the ball path, even after putting on the ground or foot inside the fold, it can still be rejected under this law.

Beaumont’s action – turned to turn his foot to launch – triggered attractiveness. However, the third referee concluded that there was no voluntary attempt to obstruct, so he felt it out.

England level series with dominant victory

At the time of the incident, Beaumont was beat on 25 and looked well. He was finally fired for 34 by Sneh Rana in the eleventh. The decision did not significantly cost India regarding the marker, but the ambiguity that surrounds the intention has led to discussions on whether the laws need a clearer interpretation or application.

Despite the controversy, England won a victory of eight Wicket in a rain competition. Pursuing an 115 -point revised target, the hosts were led by Amy Jones, who anchored the entrances with a 46 -dead -end.

India, after the victory commanding the series’s opening, fell with the bat. They could only manage on 143/8, with 42 of Smriti Mandhana the lone place. The bowls of England kept things close and the side of their house pursued the goal comfortably, which made him 1-1 towards the final game.
