Whats the rule of Beemer? is there any bowler who was stopped to bowl further in a particular match?
Asked by: Arshad on 09-12-2010..
Fan Answer
Binit"Beemer" is the term used when a bowler sends down a full toss above the waist height of the batsman. This is different from bouncers which are pitched short and then bounce upto or over batsmen's shoulders.

Only two bouncers per over per batsman is allowed in test matches and one day internationals but no bowler can bowl two beemers in an over. The umpires are judge of whether the bowlers is doing it on purpose or not and should be continue to bowl on. Usually, two beemers is enough for a bowler to be banned from bowling any further in that innings.

There must be some bowlers who have been removed from attack but there's no statistics available on them. I can only find names of Kemar Roach of West Indies against Bangladesh in 2009 and Waqar Younis of Pakistan in 2003 world cup who were taken away from bowling attack but there must be some other bowlers too.
