BBL: Adam Zampa runs out batter at non-striker’s end, third umpire says Not Out

Adam Zampa was quite confident of the run-out, but the on-field umpire went to the third umpire to confirm. Melbourne Stars skipper Adam Zampa ran Melbourne Renegades batter, Tom Rogers, out at the non-striker’s end in the last over of the first innings, but the third umpire made the decision in favour of the batter after checking a key aspect of the rule, at the MCG on Tuesday. “Third umpire to director, we gonna check whether the bowler’s arm passed the vertical, that satisfies the law for run-out at the bowler’s end,” the third umpire was heard on the broadcast. #BBL12 pic.twitter.com/N6FAjNwDO7 — KFC Big Bash League January 3, 2023 Law 38.3.1 for run out at non-striker’s end states, “If the non-striker is out of his/her ground at any time from the moment the ball comes into play until the instant when the bowler would normally have been expected to release the ball, the non-striker is liable to be Run out. In these circumstances, the non-striker will be out Run-out if he/she is out of his/her ground when his/her wicket is put down by the bowler throwing the ball at the stumps or by the bowler’s hand holding the ball, whether or not the ball is subsequently delivered.” Former Australia speedster Brett Lee is not in favour of run-out at the non-striker’s end and made his stand clear on Fox while broadcasting.
