Stump is a term used in the sport of cricket where it has three meanings, part of the wicket, a manner of dismissing a batsman and the end of the day's play ("stumps"). ==Part of the wicket== The stumps are three vertical posts which support two bails.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Stump )〕 The stumps and bails are usually made of wood, and together form a wicket at each end of the pitch. The overall width of each wicket is 9 inches (22.9 cm). Each stump is 28 inches (71.1 cm) tall with maximum and minimum diameters of 1 inches (3.81 cm) and 1 inches (3.49 cm). They have a spike at one end for inserting into the ground, and the other end has a U-shaped 'through groove' to provide a resting place for the bails.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Stumps )〕 In junior cricket the items have lesser dimensions. Each stump is referred to by a specific name: * Off stump〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Off Stump )〕 is the stump on the off side of the wicket (the same side as the batsman's bat). * Middle (Lie) stump〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Middle Stump )〕 is the centre stump, the middle of the three stumps. * Leg stump〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Leg Stump )〕 is the stump on the on side of the wicket (the same side as the batsman's legs). These names are relative to the batsman, so a right-handed batsman's leg stump becomes the off stump when a left-handed player is batting. In modern professional play, the stumps are often emblazoned with a sponsor's logo. Although they are too far away from spectators to be seen, such logos are visible on television coverage. For professional matches, often one or more of the stumps is hollow and contains a small television camera. This is aligned vertically, but can view through a small window on the side of the stump via a mirror. The so-called ''stump-cam'' gives a unique view of play for action replays, particularly when a batsman is bowled. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stump (cricket)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
