What is a "stump"?
A stump in cricket refers to one of the three vertical wooden posts that make up the wicket at either end of the pitch. The stumps are placed in the ground, and they are used to hold the bails in place. The wicket consists of three stumps, with two bails placed on top of them. If the stumps are hit with the ball, or if the bails are removed while the batter is out of their crease, the batter can be dismissed. Stumps are an essential part of the game, marking the batter's target and defining the area for dismissal.
Example
The bowler knocked over the stumps to celebrate taking a wicket.
The batsman defended his stumps carefully against the fast deliveries.
Every cricket field has stumps set up at both ends for bowling and batting.
