Cataloguing all Zing Bail fails

[NUFAN]

Roy just did a good segment on this. He weighed a normal wooden bail which was 22 grams. The zing bail is 45g - double!!

They should check the stumps as well. The hollowish plastic ones probably absorb shock better.

16.3 Ellis to Dwarshuis, no run
that sounded like caught behind but replays show the ball in fact clipped the off stump bail on its way to the keeper's gloves but the bail didn't budge

52nd Match (N), Melbourne, Jan 24 2021, Big Bash League Hobart Hurricanes - Sydney Sixers

no video until I see it posted on the ICC twitter - geoblocking will be a problem otherwise

14.5 Young to Erasmus, no run
good length ball on fourth stump squirts between bat and pad and brushes off stump, but the bails won't come off! Balbirnie is calling for a DRS review for caught behind but it looks to have clearly missed the bat and shaved off stump.

14.6 T Sangha to Russell, no run
how did the bails not come off?! Flighted full on middle, Russell slogs this off an inside edge that caroms off his inside foot and then back onto the stumps. Not just a small trickle either. A full on genuine thud into middle and off stump. The heavy zing bails don't want to move. Traditional wooden ones would have definitely been dislodged.

Henry Nicholls was bowled by Ashwin but the zinger bails did not dislodge. You can add that here. From the 2nd test at Mumbai just a week or so ago.

The IPL followers do a terrible job updating this thread. surely they have fails every season as well

two posts that OS needs to catalogue

2nd Test India vs NZ, Over 31.5:

Ashwin to Nicholls, no run
Oh my, he's done it again, but with a slightly different angle this time. A bit closer to the stumps and once again lands and spins past the outside edge. Very close to both bat and off-stump, not touching either

Replays showed that the ball had actually brushed the stumps. The bails moved, but didn't fall. Unlucky for Ashwin, lucky for Nicholls.

This one was in the ashes test, England first innings where buttler almost ran himself, can someone find video? It's not even on the text commentary, but I swear it happened. Buttler was already in so no one focused on the bail not falling off.

Goswami to Sciver, no run
Sciver is smiling and nodding - the ball has rolled back onto the stumps but the bails stay intact. What luck for her after that dismissal in the last game. Full on middle, Sciver drives, the ball rolls off the pad and onto the stumps, surprisingly the bails don't fall and that's a lucky escape for Sciver. The Indians can't quite believe it

Shaheen Shah Afridi to Tim David
Look at this. Full ball, yorker goes through the defense of David and flicks the off stump but the bails did not come off amazing

Here's another one:

Rashid Khan to Maxwell, 4 byes
The ball hits the stumps but the bails don't come off! Googly landing on off spins past Maxwell's slog sweep first ball. Rashid sees one of the zing bails on leg stump light up and runs off with his right arm and index finger raised in celebration before realizing that the bails have not completely dislodged as the ball goes to the fine leg rope for four byes.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Sam Curran to Miller, FOUR runs
Under-edged, inches past the stumps! In fact, that clipped the off stump! Wow, the zing bails save another batter!

In the ongoing Eng-SA ODI

 

[CricAddict]

When cricket is already a batsman's game, this is quite unfair to bowlers.

 

[kaetor]

I'm not fully convinced of this. It's not like it didn't happen before. There's a good chance the bail weight is fairly negligible at 45g vs 22g given the expected force of a ball hitting the stump and it remains more to do with how the ball hits the stump.

I'd say a lot of the bail not coming off has more to do with the stumps being too rigid in the ground than anything. Or perhaps a different make up of the stump, maybe the stump mic / camera tech contributes to this. I'd say it's more likely imo.

The zing bails I find do seem to light up a bit quick - I know it's instant the moment that both sides of the bail no longer have a contact patch to complete the circuit and keep the switch open, but that's certainly different to the human interpretation of 'if the bail is off' that a third ump might have to make.

 

[Xuhaib]

I have always believed if a ball hits the stump/bail it should be out whether they come off or not should not matter .

The purpose of bowled is to hit the wicket and not uproot it.

Completely agreed and exactly my thought too.
