What happened to handled the ball? Peter Jackson (talk) 04:31, 19 June 2023 (CDT)
- From memory, the ICC decided that it amounts to the same thing as obstructing the field and so MCC merged the two in 2017. As far as I know, there would be no difference in reality if someone does deliberately use a hand, except the scorer would record it as obstructing. I don't really see a necessity for the change when there have been so few instances of either. I've always thought "played on" should be an official dismissal because the bowler has been lucky to get a deflection, whereas "clean bowled" is achieved by skill.
