Sweep shot , hit toe of bat, into the ground, bounced up and bat again hit ball in air and keeper caught it. 2nd hit unintentional
Umpire gave it out, afaik this is not out.
Opinions?

Not out
Law 32 3c - criteria for a fair catch
(c) a fielder catches the ball after it has been lawfully struck more than once by the striker, but only if it has not been grounded since it was first struck.
As the ball has been grounded since the initial hit, the catch off the second hit is deemed not to be a fair catch.
That's spot on
Shouldn't even be a question…cricket matches should be to the death!
By the rules.. not out.
Would have thought otherwise…. but as it touched the ground after the first contact with the bat then not out.
Aslong as the ball didnt hit the ground 2nd hit its out.
