[PICTURE] Middle Stump dislodged without bails moving! Is batsman out?

[Varun]

What do you think!?

 

[MenInG]

My view is bails not dislodged so not out ...

 

[Sherlock]

It's a little dodgy when the middle stump is shorter than the other 2...

 

[last_knight]

It's a little dodgy when the middle stump is shorter than the other 2...

Or when stumps' width is significantly less so that bails cohide supporting each other in case if middle stump is derooted.

 

[badsha001]

Law 43 common sense, he is out...

 

[battler]

He is out because for being out either the bails need to be dislodged or the stumps need to be uprooted.
In this case the stumps were uprooted so he is out.

 

[troodon]

They need to make sure that all stumps are of same length. Bails cannot support each other.

Its out.

Law 28.1

1. Wicket put down

(a) The wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground,

(i) by the ball,

or (ii) by the striker’s bat if he is holding it or by any part of his bat that he is holding,

or (iii) notwithstanding the provisions of Law 6.8(a), by the striker’s bat in falling if he has let go of it, or by any part of his bat becoming detached,

It's out.

Trust the Aussies to make a mess of something as simple as putting bails on top of the stumps.

Ball goes through stumps without dislodging bails

Ball goes through off and middle stump, the bails don't move.


In the third Test during South Africa’s tour to Pakistan in 1997-98, Mushtaq Ahmed bowled a delivery to Pat Symcox that saw the ball go in-between the off stump and middle stump but did not dislodge the bails. This is, perhaps, the only instance in the history of cricket of the ball going through the stumps without touching them.

At the time of the incident, Symcox was batting on 56 and ended up getting out on 82. Those runs were crucial as South Africa won a close match by 53 runs

There seems to be a lot of gap between stumps. Lot more than what you normally see.

yep - seems pretty clear and a good decision by ump

 

[captain crook]

Not out
