Watch: Out or Not Out? Batsman Survives as the Bail Doesn’t Fall Off!

Now, the Zing Bails had been in the news for so long, in the recently-held ICC World Cup 2019, the bails had troubled the bowlers, as it many-a-times had failed to come off from the groove despite being hit by a bowler.

In this recently played game, a batsman while playing Division Two club cricket had survived despite ball hitting one of the bails. Interestingly, the bizarre incident had witnessed that the bail doesn’t fall off after being hit by a medium pacer.

The Sanderstead Cricket Club (SCC) had posted the video on its Twitter handle on July 7. It supported a caption saying, ‘ever seen this happen’.

Apart from hosting videos of cricket matches at the Saw Mill cricket ground in Croydon Garner,  Sanderstead recently uploaded video had become a talk of the town.

The 34-second video revealed a southpaw had survived after the ball knocked off the off-stump bail. But much to the disbelief of a fielding team, the bail didn’t come off the groove. Thus, it had further witnessed bowler expressing disappointment with bowling team quizzing umpire for the dismissal.
