If the ball pitches outside the leg stump of the batter, then the LBW dismissal is ruled out. WHAT DOES THE RULE SAY? Law 36 states that: the batter is out LBW if the bowler delivers a legitimate delivery (not a no-ball), the ball pitches in line between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker's wicket, the ball not having previously touched his/her bat, the striker intercepts the ball, either full-pitch or after pitching, with any part of his/her person, the point of impact, even if above the level of the bails, either is between wicket and wicket or if the striker has made no genuine attempt to play the ball with the bat, is between wicket and wicket or outside the line of the off stump, but for the interception, the ball would have hit the wicket. No other rule in cricket has seen as many changes as the LBW ones.
Over the decades, LBW is one rule that has seen multiple umpiring howlers.
