A '''stump''' in the sport of [[cricket]] was one third of a [[wicket]]. In other words, it was one of the three equidistant wooden stakes placed behind the [[batsman]]. The central object of the [[bowling (cricket)|bowler]] was to try to hit one of the stumps, so as to dislodge the [[bail (cricket)|bails]], which laid atop the stumps. If this were done, the batsman would be dismissed and the bowler could claim a successful defence.
