If the non-stricker is made ...Bowlers. Never happy!<br />If the non-stricker is made to stand wider, he's more likey to move out of the crease to steal a run - the umpire would need eyes either side of his head to watch the bowlers front foot and the non-striker. I would think he's more likely to obstruct the mid-on as well.Pete Vnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7251157054005755258.post-27451316079297490692010-06-28T20:54:39.701+01:002010-06-28T20:54:39.701+01:00Agreed, that can be an issue.

I noticed this at long-on yesterday as I was being forced to move 15 yards each way to try and get a view of the ball. Luckily I guessed the right side and two catches came straight to me, if I had gone the other side of the non striker I doubt I would have made it to them.Winksnoreply@blogger.com
