WHY PITCHING OUTSIDE LEG IS NOT OUT

Leg before wicket first appeared in the laws of cricket in 1774 as batters began to use their pads to prevent the ball hitting their wicket over several years refinements were made to clarify where the ball should pitch and to remove the element of interpreting the batsman's intentions lbw is the law 36 of the mcc's laws of cricket the law states that following an appeal by the fielding side the empire may rule a better out lbw on a legal delivery if the ball would have struck the wicket but was instead intercepted by any part of the batter's body except the hand holding the bat the umpire's decision will depend on a number of criteria including where the ball pitched whether the ball hit in line with the wickets and whether the batter was attempting to hit the ball first the ball should be a legal delivery and not a no ball then the ball has to pitch either in line with the wickets or on the offside of the batsman after that if it hits the batsman's body instead of his bat first and the ball was hitting the batsman's body in line with the stumps and was then going on to hit the stumps and not going over the stumps or going right or left of the stumps then and only then the batsman is given out lbw a question that i have often heard fans saying is that why isn't a batsman given out if the ball pitched on the leg side of him the reason for that is first blind spot when the bowler is bowling from the leg side of the batsman his front leg comes in the way of playing the shot he has to get his leg out of the way to play the shot but if the bowler bowls from the offside of the batsman it is his bat that comes first and then his leg hence outside of stump lbw is considered out the technical point is the leg side for a striker is called blind spot i ask all of you to try stand like a normal batsman ready to face the bowler who has started his run up now without moving your body or neck try to see your leg side with your both eyes chances are you won't be able to play at it like you would an offside delivery second negative pulling bowlers could keep building the negative line that is outside leg stump it's harder to hit such balls across the line as a bowler you can put all your fillers on the leg side to dry up the runs and wait for a ball to hit the pads the rule is also there to discourage negative bowling these might be the reasons outside leg is considered not out although in my personal opinion i think this rule should be re-examined primarily because the modern game is very much in favor of the batsman and if batsmen can't play certain side well doesn't mean bowlers shouldn't be allowed to get them out that way they should improve their batting to play such deliveries.
