Kumar Sangakkara was bowled by Anil Kumble, but the replays suggest wicketkeeper Mark Boucher dislodged the bails with his gloves before the ball struck the stumps. Both bails were down before the ball struck and as per rules of the game it’s not out.
Unaware of this, Sangakkara walked out of the park and no one protested. It was beauty of a delivery by Kumble and it very much deserved the wicket but if aware, Boucher should have ideally informed the umpires and called the batsman back.
It will be interesting to see if this incident leads to a controversy or not.
