Question

can a wicket keeper stump the batsman by (cricket) throwing the ball over arm towards the wicket?

Answer 1

Yes. The only time this could ever possibly occur, however, is when the bowler is a fast bowler and the batsman takes a huge stride out to strike the ball. With a fast bowler the keeper stands quite a ways back from the wickets. If the stride is so huge that when the batsman attempts to get back (though not having attempted a run) he cannot do so before the wicket keeper has thrown the ball at the wickets and the bails have fallen off, then it is technically a stumping. While it is technically true that it is a stumping, the actual word "stumped" is supposed to be used when the stumps (wickets) are pulled out of the ground while getting someone out. This generally only happens when a wicket keeper throws his gloves (with his hands inside, and the ball in his grasp) into the stumps.

Answer 2

Can a wicket keeper stump the batsman by (cricket) throwing the ball over arm towards the wicket?

Answer 3

If the wicket keeper throws the ball at the stumps the batsman would be run out. The wicket keeper must have the ball in his gloves when he breaks the wicket for a stumping.

Answer 4

In this case the batsman will be considered run out not stump out. Whether the wicketkeeper is aiming to hit the strikers end or non- strikers end with over arm throw or even under arm throw, the batsman will be considered run out in this case. For getting a batsman stump out, the ball should be in the hands of wicketkeeper.....

Answer 5

A batsman is declared run out only when the ball has hit his bat. Throwing the ball overarm will result in stumping.

Answer 6

No when ball is thrown to other side then the batsman is runout and not stumped.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

a batsman can be stumped only when he is batting....at the other end it can be called runout....

Answer 9

i think so..It will called Run out, not a stump ...

Answer 10

Of course. If the batsman is out of his ground (i.e he has no part of his foot or bat behind the batting crease), is not attempting a run and the keeper breaks the stumps at the striker's end, he is out stumped. It does not matter if the keeper throws underarm, overarm or simply hits the wicket with the ball in his glove - the result is the same. However it is highly unlikely the batsman will be far enough out of his ground for the wicket keeper to thrown down the stumps particularly with an over arm throw. In summary, the reply is 'yes, but it's unlikely'. The previous answers differentiating between 'stumped' and 'run out' are misleading.



Further to all people saying it would be 'run out', then NOT NECESSARILY!!! The definition of a stumping is:



In cricket, a batsman can be out stumped if:



the wicket-keeper puts down the wicket, while

the batsman is:

out of his ground (because he has moved down the pitch beyond the popping crease, usually in an attempt to hit the ball),

receiving a delivery which is not a no ball, and

not attempting a run.



YOU HAVE TO BE ATTEMPTING A RUN TO BE RUN OUT!!!! Therefore a batsman CAN be out stumped and NOT run out from an overarm throw by the wicketkeeper if he is not attempting a run. End of chat.
