Should the bowler be penalized?
I strongly feel that if any bowler should dislodge the wicket during his follow through at the bowling side, he should be no-balled and penalized with four runs.
Such actions not only deprive the batsman who is denied of any runs, but also deprives the bowler of a wicket, as such a delivery is signaled as a dead ball.
Every bowler has quite a good amount of room allocated to him when he is bowling. Breaking the stumps on his delivery stride should not be treated as an excuse, very specially in the shorter format of the game.
