I was playing street cricket today, and there was a huge ruckus, that broke as a result of a fine point in a rule.
What happened was this: A bowler bowled a full pitch delivery that passed the batsman, who stayed in his crease, above the waist height. However, it was a looped delivery, so there was a significant reduction in height as it reached the line of the stumps, and kissed the bails, which fell off. It was given no ball, then reversed to a wicket, then reversed to a no ball again, before all hell broke lose, and it all almost came to a fist fight between players.
Now, the question is: is it a no ball, or a wicket?
