Commentary
Before starting the Commentary, note that the term ‘Wide’ is the name given to this particular type of delivery. The term ‘Wide ball’ is purely for the call (and signal). This is because it is easier to make a clear call of ‘Wide ball’, with some emphasis on ‘ball’, than it is for ‘Wide’. The adverb ‘wide’ of normal speech is also used in Law 25. It describes where the ball is, in relation to the striker, but is avoided in the commentary on this Law.
a Law 25.1 defines a Wide. It is to be judged by whether or not the striker can reach it well enough, in the words of the Law, to ‘hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke’. By ‘a normal cricket stroke’ it does not mean ‘a recognised cricket stroke’, such as an off drive, a hook or a sweep. Even less does it mean that the striker has to be able to hit it in such a way that he could score runs off it. It means that he must be able to reach it with his arms naturally flexed, not at full stretch, and well within the blade of the bat, not just with the toe of his bat. Further, the path of the ball must enable him to play it without looking as though he was wielding a tennis racquet rather than a cricket bat. If he can reach the ball in the way just described, he can be said to be ‘able to reach It comfortably’. A ball which he cannot reach comfortably is a Wide. Although by this definition a ball passing over head height would be a Wide, in fact it is specially designated as a No ball. There is discussion of this in Law 42.
The judgment is to be made in relation to the striker
both
where heis
either after any movement to play at the ball or in his guard position if it is an abnormal one
and
where hewould have been
ina
normal guard position.‘Where he is’ and ‘a normal guard position’ may sometimes be the same place. Law 25.2 lists situations in which a delivery is not to be considered a Wide. Law 25.2(a) makes the point that the striker may move
from a position where he can’t reach it comfortably to one where he can from a position where he can reach it comfortably to one where he can’t.
In either of these cases, because he could have reached it in one of his positions, the delivery is not to be judged a Wide.
Law 25.2(b) is necessary because he may be sufficiently near for him or his bat to make contact with the ball, but not near enough to reach it comfortably.
b The bowler’s end umpire is responsible for deciding if a delivery is a Wide. If he so decides, he will call and signal Wide ball. Since movement by the striker may turn a delivery that would have been a Wide into one that is not, the call (and signal) must be delayed until the ball has passed the striker’s wicket.
Even then, the striker may make a very late movement which stops the delivery being judged a Wide. It is also possible that a call of No ball by the striker’s end umpire may come after the call of Wide ball. Nevertheless the No ball is to take precedence. In either of these two cases, the Wide ball call will have to be revoked.
Once the call is made, however, and not revoked, the ball is then considered to have been a Wide from the point when it was launched on its path, i.e. at the moment of delivery by the bowler. This will enable umpires to decide the order of events, one of which is the Wide. It also means that Wide will precede No ball in some of the No ball situations. The provision that No ball is to over- ride Wide will, however, apply.
As with No ball, an initial call of Wide ball must be accompanied by a signal. The call (and signal) of Wide ball does not make the ball dead. When the ball becomes dead from some other cause, the signal without a call is to be repeated to the scorers, and acknowledged.
c Consequences of a call (and signal) of Wide ball. These are similar to those for No ball.
If Wide ball is called (and signalled), whatever the reason, as for No ball, the fielding side incurs a three-fold penalty.
A penalty of 1 run is awarded to the batting side, as soon as the call (with signal) is made. As explained above, it is effective from the moment the ball left the bowler’s hand. Unless the call itself is revoked, there are no circumstances in which this penalty is not allowed. Moreover, it also stands in addition to any other runs or any other penalties from that delivery.
The number of ways in which the striker can be dismissed is somewhat reduced. The list of possible ones is in Law 25.8. There are more methods of dismissal in this list than there are in the corresponding one for No ball.
The batting side has a greater chance to score runs, since, as well as being awarded the penalty, runs can be scored from this delivery
and
it does not count as one of the 6 balls in the over.d Runs scored when Wide ball is called (and signalled)
The batting side can score runs, and 5 run penalties can be awarded to either side on exactly the same basis as for other deliveries.
The 1 run penalty for the Wide is an extra.
The batsmen’s runs, any boundary allowance or allowance for Lost ball are also always extras, scored as Wides, since by definition there can have been no contact with the striker's bat or person.
