The Zing bails can stay at current weight, they just need to have a new gutter which is not the same depth, and/or the wickets with the same penetration.
the premise is, the bails v wicket design should be no different versus 5 years ago.
If Smith is out in this dismissal, the World Cup takes on a much different shape. Australia 3 down, and under immense pressure, and we saw what happened in the preliminary stages when NZ went up against the Australians in Dunedin or wherever.
esoteric curiosity: Sergei Bubka actually influenced a change in the pole vault bar versus rest-stay when he was on the board of the IAAF. or, I have read some conspiracy on this. It was mooted that the Australian red-head Steve Hooker when he was flirting with the WR and attempting it in competition, was disadvantaged v Bubka.
note: The French polevaulter took down the record in about 2013. But I dare say, Hooker may have completed a higher vault in training, just like Bubka is sure to have done higher in training, and kept doing 1cm progresses for Nike bonuses.
Anyway, zing bails, either make them feather light, the technology would exist by no need to do an expensive proposition, just make the zing bails trench more shallow. And make sure the stumps are not screwed into the wickets so they can give some. Cos smith shoulda been out.
