A club match in Australia saw a batter being given not out despite the stumps being dislodged. The bails remained intact. In what was pretty much the first-ever incident that caught the attention of the world, the stump was hanging after it was hit by the ball. However, as the bails remained intact, the batter was given not out. While there is a debate on whether the batter was out or not out, the incident has caught the attention of social media.
Given not out. Incredible ?
