Who glued the bails to the stumps?

This is one of the strangest things I have ever seen on a cricket field. At Zaheer's pace, How the f can the bails not fall? I am quite sure that something was not right. Whatever it is, it was bad luck only.

I seem to remember a Mushtaq Ahmed delivery that went between off and middle without dislodging the bails.
I remember that as well. That was the fault of the umpire no doubt.

yep-there is way a ball can sneak between 2 stumps without hitting one.
Is there? I had an idea that the gap between two stumps is always smaller than the width of the ball.

a cricket ball is 7cm in diameter and the distance between stumps is like 5.4cm.somebody correct me if i am wrong.

i think once warne's bowled one and it went through the stumps. apparantly the stumps were too "loose", so they moved but came back to the initial position after the ball passed. but today's thing was shocking indeed, twice lol

ya i remember that happend during 1997 series against south africa. Pat SymCox was the batsman and pakistanis were shell shocked by the kudrat ka karishma as the bails didn't fall :hysterical:
