In todays match between Pak A and England Kabir Ali drove the bowler straight down, the ball hit the bat of collingwood who was on the non strikers end, spooned up in the air, catch was taken and Kabir Ali was out. Needless to say the ball was in the air when it hit Collingwood’s bat. If it had not hit his bat it would have gone for 4.
Re: How about this
Andrew Miller believes the ball hit Collingwood's shoulder...either way it was a unique dismissal.
"while Kabir's innings ended in freakish circumstances, when his thumping straight drive cannoned off Collingwood's shoulder and looped into the hands of Rafitullah Mohammad at mid-on. "
Re: How about this
It might have been from the shoulder but from what I saw it seemed off the bat and Collingwood was in no apparent discomfort after the event.

poor Kabir

Re: How about this
here is what the law says:
source
Law 32
3. A catch shall be considered to have been fairly made if
(e) a fielder catches the ball after it has touched an umpire, another fielder or the other batsman. However, it is not a fair catch if the ball has touched a protective helmet worn by a fielder, although the ball remains in play.
i think the catch is very fair in case it hit collingwood, going with the above law…
however, it wud have been unfair if the ball hit the bat when colingwood’s bat was on the ground, but obviously that was also not the case…
so its very fair in all cases…
