I watched a repeat of the England v Pakistan match. When Fokes ran Babar out the VAR umpire wanted to see when the second abil came off.

I always thought that it was when the wicket was broken

^^ His left hand had dislodged one bail, before the other bail was dislodged by him breaking the wicket with his right hand which had the ball.
A run out is completed only when one bail leaves the grooves of the stumps. Just breaking the wicket alone is not enough.

Zinger bails would sort things out on such occasions

^^ They did, eventually.

Good to see Jofra Archer included in the ODI squad to go to South Africa for a 3 match series early in 2023.
Hopefully will find his feet quickly and progress towards the 50 over World Cup defence for England.

Great recovery victory for the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash.
After being bowled out for 122 by the previously unbeaten Melbourne Renegades things looked pretty hopeless.
But the Hurricanes took regular wickets in the reply and somehow claimed a sensational 8 run win. Great effort.
