Ireland batsman Ed Joyce could be well advised to go out and buy a lottery ticket later after getting a huge slice of luck during his side’s World Cup game with UAE.
UAE bowler Amjad Javed beat Joyce with a swinging ball and wheeled away in delight after the lights on the stumps went on—signalling a wicket.
Groovy kind of luck for Ed Joyce - beaten, ball clatters off stump, bail drops back into place #zing http://ift.tt/1BSaKpi
— Ali Martin (@Cricket_Ali) February 25, 2015 The UAE players joined the bowler in the celebrations, but Joyce simply stood his ground.
The umpires looked somewhat perplexed, and it took a replay to clear things up.
The ball hit off stump, sending the off bail into the air and with it the flashing lights. But, to Joyce’s relief, the bail did the rarest of things by dropping straight back into its groove.
Just wow! #IREvUAE @cricketworldcup http://ift.tt/1BSaIxC

Now, what are those lottery numbers of yours, Ed?
