In cricket, if a batsman illegally interposes his legs between the ball and wickets, the umpire, if he judges that the ball would have hit the wickets, rules the batsman out “LBW” — Leg Before Wicket.
If cricket were soccer, the batsmen wouldn’t be out; instead, the umpire would have given the bowler a free throw at the wicket.
If soccer were cricket, Ghana would have beaten Uruguay.
