#CWC15 - Match 16 - Bowled but not out! Lucky Irish and the Un-lucky Arabs!

In the World cup match between Ireland and UAE, Irish batsman Ed Joyce was bowled by Amjad Javed in the 11th over. But still Ed Joyce was not out.

No, it's not a no ball. But rather a different funny escape for the Irish batsman.

Amjad bowled a yorker and Ed Joyce couldn't bring his bat down on time. The ball hit the stumps and the bails were dislodged.

icc worldcup 2015A perfect dismissal for a fast bowler.

But then a miracle happened. The dislodged bails came back and got themselves fit back into their place. With a second it looked as if the bails were not dislodged at all!

As per rules, the bails should be dislodged to declare a batsman out.

Lucky Ed Joyce and a poor Amjad.

Ireland went on to beat UAE by 2 wickets in the last over. Bad luck UAE fans.

Here's the video of the miracle!
