Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Kartik Tyagi bowled two over-the-waist No Balls in the final over of Lucknow Super Giants’ innings but was allowed to continue with his over.
According to the MCC playing conditons, a bowler cannot be allowed to bowl two beamers in a single over.
Playing guideline 41.7.3 states: “If the umpire considers a non-pitching delivery, or a series of non-pitching deliveries, to be dangerous, the umpire shall repeat the No Ball signal to the scorers and then caution the bowler, indicating that this is a first and final warning. The umpire shall also inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batters of what has occurred. This caution shall apply to that bowler throughout the innings.”
The subsequent law, 41.7.4, claims that: ”Should there be any further dangerous such delivery by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal No Ball when the ball is dead, direct the captain of the fielding side to suspend the bowler immediately from bowling inform the other umpire for the reason for this action. The bowler thus suspended shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.
But, the Uttar Pradesh bowler was allowed to continue bowling the final over despite two full tosses. That was because, upon a brief discussion, the umpires concluded that the second full toss bowled by Tyagi wasn’t “dangerous” and was away from the body of the batter.
Tyagi eventually conceded 16 runs in the over and allowed LSG to tie the match.
