Cricket Stumps
Types of Wickets
The heart of cricket's scoring system lies in a set of wickets. These wickets are made up of three wooden posts, precisely positioned in the popping crease, called cricket stumps and bails. Two smaller sticks, the bails, precariously balance on top of the stumps. If the ball dislodges the bails from the cricket stumps and bails, the batsman is out (broken wicket).
Beyond their physical role, 'stumped' describes a batsman dismissed by the wicketkeeper removing the bails while the batsman is out of his crease. Additionally, "calling stumps" signifies the umpire ending the day's play.
Here are some ways a batsman can be dismissed involving the cricket stumps and bails:
· Bowled: The ball hits the cricket stumps and bails.
· LBW (Leg Before Wicket): The batsman blocks the ball with their leg (except for specific areas).
· Stumped: The wicketkeeper removes the bails while the batsman is out of his crease (in relation to the cricket stumps and bails).
· Run Out: The fielder hits the cricket stumps and bails with the ball before the batsman reaches the crease.
· Hit Wicket: The batsman dislodges the bails with their body or bat while playing a shot (in relation to the cricket stumps and bails).
