    NO! He cannot be given out unless there is an appeal

    He might walk but the umpire can (theoretically) call him back if there is no appeal. It is the umpire and only the umpire who decides. In practice no-one bothers with the obvious ones.

    I actually had a clear run out at the bowler's end once when I was umpiring (it flicked the bowlers leg and hit the stumps while the non-striker was out of his ground). The batsman actually started to walk but there was no appeal. He stopped and still no appeal. He gave me a sheepish grin and kept batting.

    Theoretically even if the stumps are knocked over clean bowled, unless there is an appeal, the batsman is entitled to stand his ground until there is an appeal and it is given out.

    i'm pretty sure if it was an LBW, it would most definitely require some sort of shouting or hullabaloo. Caught behind is different- if it was totally obvious it was out, they'd just be like yay he's out. I've seen some players get all hyped up cos they knew it was definitely out and then look at the umpire and he's like nah bud sorry not out. then they get sad

    hahahah sucked in ;)

    good luck buddy!

    No, he cannot be given OUT unless there is an appeal by the fielding side.

    Cheers!

    If there's no appeal, the umpires can't give it out unless the batsman walks.

    No, if the fielding team do not appeal the batter can not be given out... This happened in the recent test match between NZ n England

    yes, of course.

    I mean..the fielding side never appeal for an obvious catch, say on the boundary for instance, do they? Everyone, including the batsman, knows its out and there's no argument.

    Good Question...that condition will not come..because all the players are young and the umpires are bit old..they cannot notice...the ball.

    only if its a LBW decision

    otherwise if the batsman is clearly out than he usually walks out of the ground without the bowling team appealing
