Beard Liberation Front
20th July
At some point during the Test Match summer Test Match Special invites the renowned former Umpire John Holder on to answer questions on Umpiring decisions. The questions vary from the serious to the light hearted.
Beards are an important part of modern cricket and the Beard Liberation Front research department usually sends a question in. Unfortunately there wasn’t time for it but its repeated below. Views welcome:
With short form cricket the saving of boundaries has become almost an art form and its now to be seen in Tests too. If a player with a WG Grace style beard successfully prevents a ball from hitting the boundary marker and the tip of his beard,but no part of his body, touches the marker would that still be a four?
