When bowling in cricket, can you run-out the non-striking batsman without having bowled if he is outside cress

Answer 1

Yes... you dont see it happen much, thats why you see the batsman that is not striking still putting his bat in the crease

Answer 2

Yes, but can I reinforce Bob S's answer. The etiquette is that you warn the non-striking batsman first that he is backing up too far. Only then should the bowler take off the bails. One wicket is not worth loss of your cricketing reputation.

As the bowler should be concentrating on delivering the ball, unless he is deliberately thinking of the matter he is unlikely to notice if the batsman is out of his crease (but another fielder, e.g. the captain, may oberve). In cases where the bowler knocks off a bail as part of his action, which won't make him popular with the umpire, this means he would be unlikely to know even if the batsman were out of his ground, and there would be no appeal.

Answer 3

Not immediately. The Rules of Cricket, reinforced by the ICC playing conditions both for test matches and ODI's say that the bowler gives the batsman a warning in the presence of an umpire the first time this happens. After this warning, the bowler is free to stump the batsman at the non-strikers end

Answer 4

Yes. All the answers explaining the rules and etiquette are correct, but I actually saw this happen "accidentally" in a club game.

The bowler broke the stumps in his action, didn't release the ball, and a fielder appealed for a run-out, which the umpire answered in the affirmative. However after a short discussion, the fielding team considered their position and withdrew the appeal and the batsman was allowed to remain at the crease.

Answer 6

Yes. The method of such dismissel is called Mankaded.

The most famous incident of this method of dismissal involved the Indian bowler Vinoo Mankad. It occurred during India's tour of Australia on 13 December 1947 in the second Test match at Sydney. Mankad ran out Bill Brown when, in the act of delivering the ball, he held on to it and whipped the bails off with Brown well out of his crease. This was the second time Mankad had dismissed Brown in this fashion on this tour - he had done it in an earlier match against an Australian XI. On that occasion he had warned Brown once before running him out. The Australian press strongly accused Mankad of being unsportsmanlike, though some Australians, including Don Bradman, the Australian captain at the time, defended Mankad's actions. Instances of bowlers running batsmen out this way in first class cricket date back to the nineteenth century. But after this incident, if a batsman is given out this way, he is said to have been Mankaded.

Answer 7

you mean crease!..and yes, if thet batsmans is walking when you bowl, its not very sportmanlike to do it though, its very gentlemanly to stop and show him he's doing it...if he does it again then by all means take the bails off.......

also if the batsman hits the ball, and the bowler gets a finger to hit, and the ball goes on the hit the stumps when the non-striker is out of the crease, thats a run out.....bu the fielder has to touch it in some way first.....the non-striker is not out if the batsman hits the stumps at the other end.

Answer 8

The simple answer to this is yes. However, a bowler is unlikely to do this unless he feels the non-striking batsman is backing up too early and too far. Etiquette would be to warn the non-striking batsman first and if he persists in backing-up too far then the bowler is entitled to run him out.

Answer 9

Yes, and it has happened very occasionaly... although if the bowler notices the non-striking batsman continually out of his crease, he is supposed to warn him about it first as a courtesy before he tries to run him out, although thats not a rule!

Answer 10

As per rule, a bowler can run out the batsman, if he is found to be out of crease. Generally, the bowler warns the batsman for having seen him out of crease and inspite of warning, the batsman tries to be out of crease, the bowler runs him out.
