Cricket without stumps

On a more serious note, this being a serious discussion...you would lose 6 methods of dismissal, leaving just 4

It would actually be 5/5. It would certainly suit Chris Tavare as there would never be any need for the batsman to hit the ball.

Bowled - No
Caught - Yes
LBW - No
Stumped - No
Timed Out - Yes
Obstructing the Field - Yes
Run Out - No
Handled the Ball - Yes
Hit Wicket - No
Hit the Ball Twice - Yes

I didn't count Obstructing the field. I was thinking that if you had no stumps you couldn't be run out so would bother but I suppose you could obstruct a catch so yeah, I guess you're right

It's a deadset hoot. I'm struggling to type with the tears of laughter flowing down my face.

Perhaps it's all a bit too cerebral for "u", Stumped?
