Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation
regarding this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.
Any offside or leg side delivery which in the opinion of the umpire does not give the batter
a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a “wide”. As a guide on the leg side, a
ball landing clearly outside the leg stump going further away shall be called a “wide”
As a guide on the offside, a ball passing outside a line drawn between the bowling and
popping creases, measured 432mm (17 inches) from the return crease shall be called
“wide”. The above provisions do not apply if the striker makes contact with the ball.
A penalty of one run shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other
runs which are scored or awarded. All runs which are run or result from a “wide ball”
which is not a “no ball” shall be scored as “wides”.
Wide interpretation for the reverse sweep or switch hit
The interpretation to be followed or calling a “wide” when a switch hit or reverse sweep is played or
the batter gets in a position to play the shot and then aborts it, is as follows:
(a) By the batter playing the switch hit or the reverse sweep or getting in a position to play
the shot, the player is deemed to bring the ball sufficiently within their reach, on the leg
side as well.PLAYING CONDITIONS - LO50 PLAYING CONDITIONS - LO50

Leg side
40 8 24 8
All deliveries directed and bowled down the leg side (behind the body of the striker, standing in their

42 9 25 8
For the sake of clarity, a ball that passes down the leg side, but in between the striker and the leg
43 9 26 8 stump, shall not be deemed a “wide”.
44 9 26 9
The only exception to this directive is for a ball that just misses the leg stump. This is not deemed
45 9 27 9 negative bowling and should not be called “wide” when the batter moves across to the off stump from
their original stance.
46 9 28 9
Had the batter not moved onto the off stump but remained in their normal batting stance the ball would
