Bail stayed on 
A match had taken place at Sanderstead Cricket Club and produced a comical moment rarely seen in the sport During Worcester Park batsman Rob Hill's innings, the bail balanced on the top of the stump despite being struck The delivery itself appeared to be inch-perfect, delivered with the right amount of power and precision to deceive the man at the crease However, according to the Laws of Cricket, the 'wicket is only put down if a bail is COMPLETELY removed from the top of the stumps' The umpire calmly replaced the bail and informed the fielding side that the batsman was "Not out" The video can be viewed on YouTube Read more about Law 29 (The wicket is down) at the MCC website | ||||||
