Senario::::::::::::::::::::::::::: from first post lets say:..batsman played a ball straight down to the bowler and bowler touches the ball and hit the stumps and the non striker is out of his crease. Now at the time when the ball hit the non striker stumps ....the batsman was hit wicket. In clousion the timing of the ball hitting the non striker stumps and the striker being hit wicket is the same. So in this case..who will be out? If third umpire could not give the decision that if the ball hit stumps at runner end is first or the batsman hit the stump first, In this case, the batsman will decide who will go to pavelion. THIS is the same case like batsmen goes for run but stump was hit by ball before they run half of pitch and no one tries to run back to their position. In these case batsmen will decide who will go to pavalion. Most of the time the lower order batsman goes by giving the respect to the top order batsman.
