View submission: u/AdrianMalhiers gives an excellent explanation of what might be the most complicated rule in all of sports - LBW in cricket

It's really not that complicated. If you use your leg to block the ball (accident or not) instead of the bat, you're out.

If the ball pitches outside leg and is unambiguously going to hit middle stump are you out?

By your definition this would be out, correct?
