22.1 JUDGING A WIDE
The word 'Wide' describes a type of delivery
The call for a wide delivery is 'Wide ball' which is accompanied by a signal
A delivery which the striker cannot reach comfortably is a Wide
The striker should be able to hit the ball with a reasonable amount of control
The Bowler's end umpire should assess each delivery on its merits and if necessary, inform the batters and the fielders that it is a Wide, by calling and signalling
It is extremely important for the umpires to be consistent in their judgment of wide deliveries throughout the whole match
