Did someone glue the bails together? Nice one.

Is it April 1st already?

 

[luckyeddie]

definitely not out.

I've seen it discussed before (about 40 years ago) - then it was supposed to have been something to do with the varnish (Shellac) used on the bails which melted when the sun was out, then re-set

I've heard that a long time ago a bowler bowled ,the bails flew and then came back and readjusted on the stumps . The batsman was walking but the Umpire called him back cuz he was not out and the bails should fall on the ground .
One incident that I remember is during a test match between SA and Pak , Mushtaq Ahmed bowled to Pat sympcox and the ball went all the way through the stumps without touching the stumps . I think Umppire did'nt see the adjustment of the stumps and those were a little wider than normal and made room for the ball .

Extraordinaire.
Seen the ball go though the stumps before now, but never knock one out and leave the bails.

There's always room for the ball to pass through without hitting the stumps - it's just so tight it almost never happens.

To tell youy the truth, if I was ever umpiring, and that happened, Ide give it out anyway.
