Gully Cricket is the most interesting game that we used to play as kids. It was challenging too when the referee (basically, the kid who didn’t want to play) couldn’t decide whether the batsman was out or not.

In a similar incident, street cricketers from Pakistan found themselves in a spot when they didn’t depend on their referee and wanted the International Cricket Council to intervene and tell whether the batsman was out or not.

The picture sent to ICC shows the middle stump fallen over but the bails remain undisturbed.

The decision seemed to be a difficult one even for the cricketing body. ‘Out or Not Out?’ - they asked for fans on social media.

People on Twitter became referees and responded to the tweet:

As per your rules it’s Not out. But here if the guy don’t walk out even after this then bowling team will beat the shit out of him and throw him outside ground — Sheetal Jain🇮🇳 (@RealSheetal) March 24, 2019

Bails aren't dislodge, but still it is out as the wicket is out of the ground. Either bails are dislodged or wicket is uprooted, it is given out — The.girl.who.lived🇮🇳 (@theoneplusgirl) March 24, 2019

I heard this decision in My Village from a brilliant Umpire. So, you can also ask to umpire 😂 — Atif Munir Kahloon (@Atifmunirahmed) March 24, 2019

ICC tweeted back saying according to cricket laws - ‘The wicket is put down if a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, or a stump is struck out of the ground.’ Despite the bails staying intact, the batsman, in this case, was out.

..... and its's OUT ☝️

Tough luck to the batter (if you can say that having your middle peg knocked out!) 😅 pic.twitter.com/gjUyVHG2TO — ICC (@ICC) March 24, 2019
