Commentators were left stunned after a clear wicket went unnoticed in a bizarre moment of Women’s National Cricket League action in Hobart on Sunday.
With Queensland Fire batter Georgia Voll at the crease, Tasmanian Tigers bowler Belinda Vakarewa appeared to clip and dislodge the bails with her delivery.

No out signal was given by the umpire or protests from any Tigers players, which saw the game continue on with Voll on strike.
The commentary team was baffled by the non-decision upon watching the replay, which showed the bails clearly come off.
“That is out,” Julia Price said as the vision played.
“I tell you what, I hope they’re staying at the casino — I’d be going to the casino after that!”
It took nearly another 10 overs to dismiss Voll, who on 31 runs sent a Sarah Coyte delivery flying into the air before it was eventually caught by Amy Smith, who was on the field as a substitute.
The match, taking place at Blundstone Arena, was halted some time later as rain threatened to bring the day’s play to an end.
