Abettor in a Cricket Match

Alright, so you know how cricketers sometimes conspire against the umpire to get a wrong decision in their favour? Like, a bowler will shout 'Not out!' loudly even when the batsman's obviously gone. Now, in IPC, this is kinda similar to abetting. Abetting is helping someone else to commit a crime. Think of it like two players on the same team working together to get an unfair advantage. One player might hit the ball, and the other player might shout loudly to distract the fielder and make sure the first player runs safely to the other end. Here, the second player is abetting the first player to run away with the ball, without actually hitting it themselves. Just like that, in IPC, abetment is an action that helps another person commit a crime, even if they don't directly commit it themselves.
