LAW 39       STUMPED

 

1. Out Stumped

2. Ball rebounding from wicket-keeper’s person

3. Not out Stumped

1. Out Stumped

(a) The striker is out Stumped if

(i) he is out of his ground

and (ii) he is receiving a ball which is not a No ball

and(iii) he is not attempting a run

and (iv) his wicket is put down by the wicket-keeper without the

intervention of another member of the fielding side. Note Law 40.3

(Position of wicket-keeper).

(b) The striker is out Stumped if all the conditions of (a) above are satisfied, even

though a decision of Run out would be justified.

(a) If the wicket is put down by the ball, it shall be regarded as having been put

down by the wicket-keeper if the ball

(i) rebounds on to the stumps from any part of his person or equipment,

other than a protective helmet

or (ii) has been kicked or thrown on to the stumps by the wicket-keeper.

(b) If the ball touches a helmet worn by the wicket-keeper, the ball is still in play

but the striker shall not be out Stumped. He will, however, be liable to be Run out

in these circumstances if there is subsequent contact between the ball and any

member of the fielding side. Note, however, 3 below.

(a) If the striker is not out Stumped, he is liable to be out Run out if the conditions

of Law 38 (Run out) apply, except as set out in (b) below.

(b) The striker shall not be out Run out if he is out of his ground, not attempting a

run, and his wicket is fairly put down by the wicket-keeper without the

intervention of another member of the fielding side, if No ball has been called.
