The bowler’s end umpire shall answer the appeal not out. (Law 38.3)
The ball shall not count as one of the over.
The ball in hand, having gone past the expected delivery point before breaking the wicket, means the opportunity to Run out the Wests non-striker under this law has
The window of opportunity to Run out the non-striker under this law (38.3) opens when the bowler starts their run-up, and then closes at the time the arm holding the ball is at its highest point in the delivery stride.
The striker’s end umpire shall answer the appeal not out. The reason for this is the Cardiff striker has not attempted a run and the wicket was broken by the Charlestown wicket-keeper without the intervention of another fielder. (Law 38.2.2.2)
NOTE: A special case of not out Stumped.
… if a batter is out Stumped, they would also meet all the conditions of a Run out. However, if the delivery is a No ball, the batter cannot be out Stumped. Because a batter can be Run out off a No ball, that would mean that any time a batter is ‘Stumped’ off a No ball, he/she would simply be given out Run out. To ensure this is not the case, Law 38.2.2.2 stipulates that, even though the requirements for Run out have been met, if the batter is not attempting a run, and only the wicket-keeper has touched the ball, then Run out is not an option.
The striker’s end umpire shall answer the appeal out, Run out. Law 38.1.
Following this, the bowler’s end umpire shall return the Stockton striker to their original end and then signal No ball to the scorers. The incoming Stockton batter shall take up the position at the bowler’s end for the next delivery. (Law 23.3)
Hamwicks wins the match by one wicket. The final score for Hamwicks is 9/237 with the striker finishing 99 not out. (Laws 16.6 & 16.7)
Striker’s end umpire answers the appeal NOT OUT. (Law 31.5, 35.2)
As the Toronto striker waited for the non-striker to notice the fumble before setting off for the run, the wicket was broken after the striker has completed any action in receiving the delivery and is therefore not out Hit Wicket.
