Finn's Law - ICC Law to declare a delivery a no ball, rather than a dead ball, if the non-striker's wicket is broken in the act of delivery
QUESTION = In 2013, Steven Finn (cricketer) changed his run-up to correct the problem; and, the ICC introduced a new law to declare a delivery a no ball, rather than a dead ball, if the non-striker's wicket is broken in the act of delivery – a regulation now commonly known as ?
ANSWER = "Finn's Law" ; Steven Finn is an English cricketer. At the age of 16 he became Middlesex County Cricket Club's youngest ever debutant in first-class cricket. He made his England Test debut in 2010 .
Prior to 2013, Finn had a frequent habit of knocking over the non-striker's stumps with his knee during his delivery.This ultimately caused controversy during the 2012 South Africa tour of England : after the South African batsmen complained of being distracted, the umpire decided to use a provision within the Laws to call a dead ball whenever Finn broke the stumps – with the first such call negating a wicket-taking delivery
