   The on-field umpires can rule the batsman out because he is ‘Handling’ the ball. and i strongly believe, the bowler gets his wicket.

   Assume an other case, where it pops out of the batsman’s gloves (when he tries to catch it) and short leg or silly point takes a sharp catch .. then, it’s a legitimate dismissal 😀

   The umpire will raise his arm VERY slowly and point to the pavilion…and not crack a smile…they must lead very boring lives coz I’ve yet to see one crack a smile.

   So the answer is “Off you go,matey, go and sit in the plastic chair, on the balcony…coz you’re OUT”

   He will be given out for handling the ball.

   This will happen irrespective weather it is hitting the stumps or not.

   He will be out whether the ball hitting the stumps or not, because he is stopping the ball.

   This is the same situation when inzamam was stopping the ball against india and he was given out. In this situation, he was out of the crease and raina trough the ball at the stumps, he stop the ball with the bat, because he was out of the crease and can be out that time, so umpire give him out.

   So in any case, in the above scenario batsman will be out.
