CBRR - Stumped Traditional Cache

TRIVIA: Stumped is the fifth most common form of dismissal after caught, bowled, leg before wicket and run out. It is governed by Law 39 of the Laws of cricket. It is seen with a spin bowler drawing the batsman out of his ground (such as by delivering a ball with a shorter length to make the batsman step forward to hit it on the bounce but misses it), and the wicket-keeper breaks the wicket before the batsman makes his ground.
