Cricket is one sport which keeps on surprising fans and gives jaw-dropping moments and emotions to those who follow it around the world. While a viral claim on social media claims that the a batter has been given not out despite the middle stump getting disturbed. This is because that somehow the bails have not managed to remain intact even when the middle stump had been perturbed but remained rooted to the ground and as per the laws of the game, the batter was not out. 

Even though ABP LIVE could not independently verify the claim, several media reports claimed that the incident happened during a third grade game between Western Districts and Ginnindera.

Take a look at the viral picture and the reactions to it on social media:

Is that is an actual match, or just an illustration in a test for potential umpires, there is something inherently wrong that the bails are still there, that would NEVER happen in reality unless they are glued together, so I suspect this is only a set up to illustrate the laws.

If that’s bowled, and that’s the decision, I’d like to think I would walk.

Is that a set of bails you got in a Cricket set that were all in ones? https://t.co/kFPvg6JfsS
