Found this article in Prem Panicker’s Blog
I was given out ‘obstructing the field’ in the first One-day International against India at Peshawar on Monday. If one surveyed the laws of cricket, the umpires’ decision was certainly according to the rules but, somehow, this law is something that I am not able to comprehend. I am also not in a position to say anything about it because the International Cricket Council (ICC) code of conduct doesn’t permit me.
However, such not very common laws need to be explained properly and in detail. The Peshawar dismissal was in fact in direct contrast to my run-out dismissal in the Faisalabad Test match against England. If I had not brought my bat in front of the ball, it could have hit my body instead.
