In limited Overs Cricket, if a ball goes down the leg, is it a Wide?<br />How to interpret rule 25 in the context of an ODI- is there absolutely no allowance for a bowler on the leg side? Lets say, will six inches outside Leg Stump be a Wide in an ODI or T20?

Yes mate it would be classed as a wide in ODI or T20 if it passes the outside the leg stump. How far outside the leg stump doesn't matter, it's a wide! In the longer forms of the game the umpires are a little more lenient and allow reasonably close balls down leg side to go unpunished.

Dear Ian, Thanks buddy. Well, I was hoping that some tolerance is shown on the leg side even in limited overs cricket. Thanks again for your answer.
