Carey is not out even though it is legal to be 'bold'! What happened in Australia-West Indies Test?

A strange incident happened in the Australia-West Indies pink ball test. Aussie wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey survived being bowled by Shamar Joseph. Carey himself was surprised to find life. Even Kraigg Brathwaite couldn't believe it.


Carey struggled to bring Australia back into the match after losing 5 wickets for 54 runs. He could not have played the important innings of 65 runs from 49 balls when he was dismissed for 8 runs. Carey was completely defeated by West Indies' Joseph. The ball hits the wicket. The umpire called no ball. However, Carey was not out. Joseph's ball hits the bail over the wicket and goes to the wicketkeeper. The ball shook the bail but did not fall to the ground. So the Aussie batter was not out according to the rules of cricket. Television replays showed that the ball hit the top bail of the wicket well. The bail spins as the ball hits. Ball and bail collisions are also detected by the snicko-meter. However, he survived because the bail did not fall to the ground. The video of this incident has gone viral on Internet World.


Just as Carey could not believe he was not out, the West Indies cricketers were practically speechless. Pat Cummins' team would have been under more pressure if Carey was out at that time. The world champions were also likely to lose the day-night Test at home.
