Oh I think Moses might have reviewed that.

Moses asked the umpire because his switch hit.

Is it classified as he's faced up left-handed, but he hasn't changed his bat grip, has he?

Here we go.

here we go.

Thank you.

Yeah, that's what Moses, we got you there.

Yeah.

It's a discussion out there, mate.

I just asked if the LBW rule changes just as the the wide rule changes when he tries to hit a ball left-handed, and I was told it does.

And then obviously on that replay it showed that it doesn't.

So, um, he confirmed it does, yeah, uh, before the replay came up there, he said yes the rule does change, just like the wide rule changes, but, um, maybe he was wrong and we have to refer.

To the 3rd umpire, so I'm not sure.

I do find it bizarre if the wide rule, if the wide rule changes, why the LBW rule wouldn't change, but anyway, it's a fair inquiry, no doubt about that.
