The Ashes 4th Test: Ben Stokes's bizarre survival on Day 3 prompted Sachin Tendulkar to ask if it is time to have some sort of rule change that would account for bails not getting dislodged after the ball makes impact on the stumps.
England all-rounder Ben Stokes's bizarre survival on Day 3 of the fourth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) prompted Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar to ask if a new rule should be brought in to account for the bails not getting dislodged after it has been by a delivery from a fast bowler. Should a law be introduced called ‘hitting the stumps’ after the ball has hit them but not dislodged the bails? What do you think guys? Let’s be fair to bowlers! @shanewarne#AshesTestpic.twitter.com/gSH2atTGRe Interesting point & one to debate my friend. I will take this to the world cricket committee for discussion & come back to you. Never seen anything like that today - Greene’s delivery was 142kph and hit the stump hard !!!!! https://t.co/GO6IeHgtsk
"Should a law be introduced called 'hitting the stumps' after the ball has hit them but not dislodged the bails? What do you think guys? Let's be fair to bowlers!" said Tendulkar in a tweet in which he tagged Australia spin legend Shane Warne.
