We received an interesting picture from a game of tennis-ball cricket in which the middle-stump has fallen over, but the bails stayed put.
Middle stump is down, but the bails stay put! Middle stump is down, but the bails stay put!
The fan asked if it was a genuine dismissal, so we looked up the laws.
29.1.1. 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
Though the bails remain undisturbed, the batsman is OUT.
Tough luck to him!
