News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket News: No one knows when it happens on the cricket field. One such surprising and breathing moment was seen during the second ODI played between England and South Africa at Lord’s. South Africa’s young batsman Triston Stabs survived so that he himself would not have been convinced. His bat slipped by hand and fell near the stumps, but luck supported him and the gills did not fall.
What happened on the field?
The incident occurred during the South African innings. England fast bowler Sam Karan was bowling. On a ball of Karan, Stabs tried to play the shot, but the bat left his hand and wandered in the air directly towards the stumps. For a moment, I felt that Stubs ‘hit wicket’ was out. England players made a strong appeal and the matter went to the third umpire.
Every player, audience and stabs on the field set their eyes on the big screen. It was repeatedly seen in the replay whether the bat has touched the stumps. It was clear in the video that the bat was very close to the stumps, almost touching, but the gills (Bells) did not move from their place.
What does the law of cricket say?
According to law 35.2 of MCC, an organization making cricket rules, any batsman ‘hit wicket’ is out only when some part of his body or his bat collides with stumps and at least one gill is completely removed from his place. In this case, no matter how close the bat has fallen to the stumps, he did not drop the gills. This was the reason that the third umpire called Triston Stabs not out.
As soon as this decision came, Stabs breathed a sigh of relief, while the England players looked a bit disappointed. In cricket, it is often said that ‘Kismet also supports the brave’ and this time luck was with Stubs. It became one of the exciting moments of the match, which will be discussed for a long time.
