Upvote for the bold take, but personally I don't agree. As far as I'm concerned, as long as there's no insinuation that he did it deliberately, that's just how the game goes. It's no different from if the throw had gone wide due to a bad throw, or poor catching from the keeper.

Fair enough, but I do think it's different when it benefits the person it hits.

It would be a tough one to rework though I think. And hands up, I like cricket, but I'm a relatively recent convert and I don't want it all that often, so my opinion probably doesn't carry much weight! :-)
