Stokes 避けるs his Herschelle Gibbs moment at The Oval
Ben Stokes has 辛うじて 避けるd his own Herschelle Gibbs moment, after a bizarre 減少（する） of Steve Smith 最終的に 事柄d very little in the fifth Ashes 実験（する） at The Oval.
With Australia 追求するing victory and the 実験（する） on a knife's 辛勝する／優位, England thought they had their man in Smith on 39.
Bowling the final over before lunch, Moeen Ali had a ball bounce up, take Smith's glove and 高く弓形に打ち返す high to Stokes at 脚 slip.
Stokes leapt in the 空気／公表する to take it one 手渡すd, and while he gathered it cleanly, the ball slipped out as his arm knocked his 膝 in 祝賀 with one 脚 still in the 空気／公表する.
"普通は it's my (負傷させるd) left 膝 that I'm pissed off at, today it was my 権利 膝," Stokes quipped afterwards.
England reviewed, but it was 最終的に 設立する that Stokes had dropped Smith. And at that point, it 脅すd to derail their 企て，努力，提案 to level the series.
法律 33.3 of cricket 明言する／公表するs that a catch can only be 支配するd to have been （人命などを）奪う，主張するd when "a fielder 得るs 完全にする 支配（する）／統制する over both the ball and his/her own movement".
It was the same 支配する 制定するd on day four in the second 実験（する） at Lord's, when Mitchell Starc thought he had caught Ben Duckett only for it to be overturned.
In that 事例／患者, Starc was still 事情に応じて変わる along the 外野 when he placed the ball on the ground to 安定した himself, making the catch 無効の.
It's also the same 支配する that 否定するd Gibbs the wicket of Steve Waugh in a 決定的な World Cup group 行う／開催する／段階 match at Headingley in 1999.
In perhaps cricket's most famous dropped catch, Gibbs had the ball slip out of his 手渡す while celebrating the wicket of Waugh at midwicket.
Waugh went on to lead Australia to victory in that match to keep their tournament alive, before knocking out South Africa in the 半分-final 経由で a tie.
At the time, Waugh was said to have told Gibbs he had just "dropped the World Cup".
Australia could make no such barb against Stokes come the end Monday.
While the England captain has 以前 認める his 悔いる at dropping Nathan Lyon late at Edgbaston as Australia went on to a two-wicket victory, this error 証明するd immaterial.
Smith was 解任するd すぐに after a rain 延期する, this time caught 安全に in the slips off Chris Woakes for 54, and Australia were all out 20 overs later.
