TIE....bowl out now

5 bowlers from each side bowl one ball each and must hit the stumps,,,,,batsmen not involved

This Bowl Out is the funniest isht I’ve seen!

In reply to StumpCam
Stewwwwps and we lost

In reply to StumpCam

the bowlers no longer bowl to hit the stumps in t20s...so when needed in this kind of bowl out they find i so difficult

funny indeed

That was a comedy show.

Good to see the oldsters still eating a food!
