Rahim’s flitting away the ball marks the second time in Test cricket that a batter has been dismissed in this manner – England’s Len Hutton being the first in 1951 against South Africa. Kyle Jamieson‘s ball to Rahim would have pottered away were it not for Rahim’s visible hand, quite the contrast to, say, Adam Smith‘s invisible one. OTF, of course, is not confined to cricket. On a larger scale, politics obstructs the field all the time – from filibustering to downright dharnas. But if Rahim had enough support to dismiss the rare dismissal, he could have spawned a new game that allows ‘handiwork’. Remember, football once allowed the extensive use of hands on the ball, until it split into soccer and rugby.
