Talk:Stumped

"...puts down the wicket"

What? The wicket-keeper pulls one or more of the stumps out and lays them on the ground? Isn't the ball supposed to be involved somehow? Isn't the wicket-keeper supposed to hit the stumps with the ball? That's not stated here. Koro Neil (talk) 01:19, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

The header of the article is a rewording of law 39, which uses the phrase "his wicket is fairly put down by the wicket-keeper". The later, more detailed, section does go into more detail. It does seem a bit strange that the intro has an explanation of "out of his ground" which should be in the same place as the other clarifications of the law, so I may move it to one place (I didn't write the original text, I just moved it here from a different article) Spike 'em (talk) 10:01, 1 March 2017 (UTC)

Stumping

If a wicket keeper collects the ball behind the stumps and hits the wicket from front while the batsman is out of the crease but not attempting for a run can he be given stumped out? 103.142.162.224 (talk) 09:28, 25 October 2022 (UTC)

Wide

The article indicates a batter may be out off stumped off a wide, but law 22.9 specifically states that this is not the case. I'm not sure an ESPN article is the best source https://www.lords.org/mcc/the-laws-of-cricket/wide-ball 31.111.103.159 (talk) 07:04, 3 June 2023 (UTC)

Sorry if you were confused by that.

"22.9 Out from a Wide

When Wide ball has been called, neither batter shall be out under any of the Laws except 35 (Hit wicket), 37 (Obstructing the field), 38 (Run out) or 39 (Stumped).

"

In other words if it's a Wide, by definition it didn't hit the wicket, your bat or your person, so you can't be out bowled, caught, lbw, or hit the ball twice. But you can be out in the four ways explicitly stated, including stumped, which is our focus here. Atconsul (talk) 23:13, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
