Ed Joyce was not able to make the most of a bizarre let-off in the 16th match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 between Ireland and UAE at Brisbane. Joyce was caught behind by Swapnil Patil off the bowling of Javed. Joyce had earlier survived a bizarre dismissal after getting “bowled” by Amjad Javed. The ball swung late and hit the off stump, but to the shock of the UAE fielders, the bails were not dislodged. Though the LED lights on the stumps and bails lit up, the bails themselves stayed in place. The rules of the game say that a batsman cannot be given out bowled (or run out/ stumped for that matter) unless the bails are dislodged from the stumps.

Earlier in the innings, Manjula Guruge struck by removing Paul Stirling, who had scored an excellent 92 in the previous match. Stirling edged behind to Swapnil Patil to leave Ireland at four for one. This brought in Ed Joyce at No. 3 for Ireland. Shaiman Anwar’s excellent century and cameos from Amjad Ali, Khurram Khan, and Amjad Javed ensured that UAE got to 278 for nine against Ireland. The way UAE approached their innings at the start suggested that they had no realistic hope of lasting for a full 50 overs. All that changed once Shaiman and Javed came together for a game-changing 107-run stand for the seventh wicket. Live Updates: Ireland vs UAE ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
