    LBW law clarification

    Thought I had this law sussed until today. I thought you cannot be given out LBW if the ball pitched outside the line of the wicket yet SA lost two batsman to balls that, when seen with Hawkeye, DID pitch outside the line before hitting the pads. Please help :(

    England ticket ballot

    Ive just had info through the post about the ticket ballot for some of England's up and coming matches but have never applied before. I'm a little confused as to how it works.

    Any hints for ODI?

    Unlike tests where I can slog the ball all over the place Ive found the opposition are a little wiser and stick fielders on the boundaries when playing ODIs. Anyone tell me the best way to amass a decent score without slogging and getting caught?
