Not that incredible, he's an umpire he should know that thats a legal ball
Andy Bichel hit a double bouncer for six in the 2003 World Cup off the bowling of Andre Adams.
very legal delivery that one

Good to see him back out there, he has copped a lot the last few months and to even step back onto the field is a brave effort.

As has been said was perfectly legal.
Heals was an idiot (And still is) in the 2003 WC whinging that Bich didn't get a no-ball call for the six he hit.

Remember once in junior cricket our spinner bowling a ball and it bounced 6 times minimum before it got to the batsmen. Sadly though he tried to sweep it for some reason and the ball hit him on the pad flush infront.
It was going nowhere else but middle stump and is the worst ball I have ever seen get a wicket LBW.

Interesting, Steve Bucknor appears in them both :p
Maybe the Bangledeshi bloke was just trying to see if Bucknor had remembered the rule :p

So 2 bounces is not a no ball?

I can't believe anyone who has played as much cricket as Wessels didn't know that was a legal delivery. I thought everyone knew that ... obviously not.
