LBW ❌ SBW ✅

Cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar and Glenn McGrath reunited in a light-hearted advertisement earlier this week, rekindling memories of a controversial dismissal from the 1999 Adelaide Test. In the ad, Tendulkar humorously suggests that McGrath might need an eye check-up, referencing the infamous 'shoulder-before-wicket' incident.

The incident occurred during India's tour of Australia in 1999, during the second innings of the Adelaide Test. Facing a daunting target of 396 runs, India was struggling at 24/3 when Tendulkar, the team's captain and premier batter, took the crease. McGrath, renowned for his lethal swing and precision, was in the midst of a formidable spell.Anticipating a bouncer, Tendulkar attempted to duck under a delivery from McGrath. However, the ball didn't rise as expected and struck him on the left shoulder, which was positioned in front of the stumps. Umpire Daryl Harper deliberated before raising his finger, adjudging Tendulkar out leg-before-wicket (LBW).

This decision was met with immediate surprise and debate, as the ball had made no contact with the pads – a rare instance leading to the term 'shoulder-before-wicket'.
