Cataloguing all Zing Bail fails

[Starfighter]

That'll be fun. Snicko for a bowled decision.

Nothing beat this though...

Here's another one, courtesy of Warwickshire's Nathan McAndrew clipping the off stump of Surrey's Tom Lawes' this afternoon. McAndrew isn't the slowest, but the bail refused to budge and the ball flew off for four byes. Quite extraordinary.

Bangladesh vs India, 1st test 2022 1st innings, 83.4. Ebadot Hossain hits the off stump of Shreyas Iyer hard enough to deflect the stumps a long way, and light them and one bail up. Iyer is still in on 82*.

They changed the bails the ball before too ?

 

[Jarquis]

Opposite issue there…

29.12.22 - BBL Heat vs Thunder. Ball hits the stumps off the last ball of the Thunder innings in an attempted run out and the bails don’t come off.

I think we can safely say that Cricket Chat is in a poor state when we have an honest to god bog standard run out not given because a zing bail fail and it doesn't result in this thread blowing up.

Has any cricket website plagiarised from this list yet

Looking forward to a cricket website stealing it and then an enthusiastic poster copy pasting it back in this thread.

Not a zing bail fail technically but this is one of the worst ones yet

I would be happy if the rules were changed such that lighting up the stumps or bails is equivalent to dislodging the bails.

Thank goodness you're not in charge of the rules then.

new exciting zing bail discourse

Run-out calls in MI-DC game turn focus on rules around LED stumps

On three occasions, the third umpire ruled Capitals batters to be not out, seemingly not considering the stumps lighting up as the point at which the wicket should be considered broken

www.espncricinfo.com

Three contentious run-out decisions occurred in the closing stages of Delhi Capitals' (DC) last-ball win over Mumbai Indians (MI) in Vadodara. In all three instances, third umpire Gayathri Venugopalan ruled not out, seemingly not considering the LED stumps lighting up as the point at which the wicket should be considered broken.

it seems umpire Venugopalan has joined the anti-Zing bail revelation. I salute our new comrade

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

Where LED wickets are used, the moment at which the wicket has been put down shall be deemed to be the first frame in which the LED lights are illuminated and subsequent frames show the bail permanently removed from the top of the stumps.

Lol does this mean that if there's a malfunction you can technically never be run out

Some CW troll should become an international umpire and make a point to actually follow the rules to the letter. Please appeal for all catches. It would be beautiful.
