Answer 2

A batsman can be out in the game of cricket in the following ways:

while the last four are technicalities which rarely occur. Briefly, the ten modes are:

1) Caught — When a fielder catches the ball before the ball bounces and after the batsman has struck it with the bat or it has come into contact with the batsman's glove while it is in contact with the bat handle. The bowler and catcher are both credited with the dismissal. (Law 32)

2) Bowled — When a delivered ball hits the stumps at the batsman's end, and dislodges one or both of the bails. This happens regardless of whether the batsman has edged the ball onto the stumps or not. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 30)

3) Leg before wicket (lbw) — When a delivered ball misses the bat and strikes the batsman's leg, pad or body, and the umpire judges that the ball would otherwise have struck the stumps. The laws of cricket stipulate certain exceptions. For instance, a delivery pitching outside the line of leg stump should not result in an lbw dismissal, while a delivery hitting the batsman outside the line of the off stump should result in an lbw dismissal only if the batsman makes no attempt to play the ball with the bat. The bowler is credited with the dismissal.

4) Run out — When a fielder, bowler or wicket-keeper removes one or both of the bails with the ball by hitting the stumps whilst a batsman is still running between the two ends. The ball can either hit the stumps directly or the fielder's hand with the ball inside it can be used to dislodge the bails. Such a dismissal is not officially credited to any player, although the identities of the fielder or fielders involved is often noted in brackets on the scorecard.

5) Stumped — When the batsman leaves his crease in playing a delivery, voluntarily or involuntarily, but the ball goes to the wicket-keeper who uses it to remove one or both of the bails through hitting the bail(s) or the wicket before the batsman has remade his ground. The bowler and wicket-keeper are both credited. This generally requires the keeper to be standing within arm's length of the wicket, which is done mainly to spin bowling. (Law 39)

6) Hit wicket — When the batsman accidentally knocks the stumps with either the body or the bat, causing one or both of the bails to be dislodged, either in playing a shot or in taking off for the first run. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. (Law 35)

7) Handled the ball — When the batsman deliberately handles the ball without the permission of the fielding team. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 33)

8) Hit the ball twice — When the batsman deliberately strikes the ball a second time, except for the sole purpose of guarding his wicket. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 34)

9) Obstructing the field — When a batsman deliberately hinders a fielder from attempting to field the ball. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 37)

10) Timed out — When a new batsman takes more than three minutes to take his position in the field to replace a dismissed batsman (If the delay is protracted, the umpires may cause the match to be forfeited). This rule prevents the batting team using time limits of the game to unfair advantage. No player is credited with the dismissal. (Law 31)

Additionally, a batsman may leave the field without being dismissed. For instance, if he is injured or taken ill, this is known as retired hurt or retired ill. The batsman is not out; he may return to bat later in the same innings if sufficiently recovered. Also, an unimpaired batsman may retire, in which case he is treated as being dismissed retired out; no player is credited with the dismissal.

An individual cannot be out — 'bowled', 'caught', 'leg before wicket', 'stumped', or 'hit wicket' off a no ball. He cannot be out — 'bowled', 'caught', 'leg before wicket', or 'hit the ball twice' off a wide.

Some of these modes of dismissal can take place without the bowler bowling a delivery. The batsman who is not on strike may be run out by the bowler if he leaves his crease before the bowler bowls, and a batsman can be out obstructing the field or retired out at any time. Timed out by its nature is a dismissal without a delivery. With all other modes of dismissal, only one batsman can be dismissed per ball bowled.

lbw,
caught,
run out,
stumped,
hit wicket,

Answer 5

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the ball knocks down the wicket (even if it deflected off your pads, bat or body) you are out, bowled. The 'death rattle' as it is sometimes called, is a terrible sound for any batsman but brings a big smile to the bowler's face.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Caught Having hit the ball, if a fielder can catch the ball before it touches the ground, then you are out caught. Perhaps one of the most unlucky dismissals was Trescothick in the 3rd Test England vs Sri Lanka March 2001. Marcus hit the ball hard out of the middle of the bat only to see the ball get caught in the loose fitting shirt of the close fielder who then claimed the catch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leg Before Wicket
(lbw) The most difficult decisions by umpires always centre on the lbw rule. You are Out lbw if you intercept a ball that would have gone on to hit the wicket providing

(a) the ball hasn't first hit the bat or hand holding the bat
(b) the ball did not pitch outside the leg stump
(c) the point of impact is in a straight line between wicket and wicket.

The rule above is when you play a shot - if you don't play a shot then (c) above is ignored.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stumped
Similiar to Run Out, if you are out of the batting crease when the wicket is broken, then you are out Stumped.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Run out
If you try for a run and you are outside the batting crease when the wicket is hit (or broken) by the ball, then you are Run Out. (The batting crease is the white line about 4 feet in front of the stumps),

Fairly obvious - the batsman handles the ball and can be given out. This doesn't happen too often, but Steve Waugh in 2001 managed it when he palmed a ball from Harbhajan Singh away with his right hand after he mis-hit a sweep shot. The previous person out in this fashion was Graham Gooch at Old Trafford in 1993.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hit wicket .

Again this is fairly self explanatory - if the striker breaks the wicket with any part of his body, his clothing or his equipment, then he is out Hit Wicket


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hit the ball twice

You are out if you deliberately hit the ball twice unless the second hit is intended to prevent the wicket from being broken


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Timed out

If an incoming batsman wilfully takes over 2 minutes to come in, then he's out Timed Out. Is this why we all sit with our pads on waiting to bat?


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Obstructing the field This is not often seen and can be given out for wilfully obstructing the fielding side or obstructing a ball from being caught. Sir Len Hutton is the only batsman in Test history to be out this way. A ball hit his handle and flew up into the air in a match against South Africa at the Oval in 1951. As the ball came back down towards the stumps, Sir Len hit the ball away. As the wicket keeper was ready to take the catch, he was given out for Obstructing the Field

Answer 6

there r ten modes of dismissals
bowled -If a bowler's delivery hits the stumps and dislodges a bail, the striker (the batsman facing the bowler) is out. The ball can either have struck the stumps directly, or have been deflected off the bat or body of the batsman. However, the batsman is not out bowled if the ball is touched by a fielder before hitting the stumps


caught-If the striker strikes the ball with the bat and the ball is caught by the bowler or a fielder before it hits the ground, then the striker is out.

"Caught behind" (an unofficial term) indicates that a player was caught by the wicket-keeper. "Caught and bowled" indicates the player who bowled the ball also took the catch


leg before wicket-If the ball strikes any part of the batsman's person (not necessarily the leg), and, in the umpire's judgement, the ball would have hit the batsman's stumps but for this interception, then the batsman is out. The point of impact must be within line with the batsman's stumps and the bowler's stumps if the batsman is playing a stroke. The batsman can be given out if the ball strikes him outside the off stump, if the ball would have hit the stumps and if the batsman is playing no stroke. The ball must not pitch outside the line of leg stump. Also, the ball cannot have made contact with the bat or glove before hitting the batsman.


stumped- If the striker steps in front of the crease to play the ball, leaving no part of his anatomy or the bat on the ground behind the crease, and the wicket-keeper is able to remove the bails from the wicket with the ball, then the striker is out.

handled the ball-If the batsman touches the ball with his hand for any purpose other than, with the approval of the fielders, to return the ball to the bowler, he is out.

Only nine batsman have been out handled the ball in the history of Test cricket (Russell Endean, Andrew Hilditch, Mohsin Khan, Desmond Haynes, Graham Gooch, Steve Waugh, Mohinder Amarnath, Michael Vaughan and Inzamam-Ul-Haq).

run out-If a fielder uses the ball to remove the bails from either set of stumps whilst the batsmen are running between the wickets (or otherwise away from the crease during the course of play), then the batsman (striker or non-striker) is out. The batsman nearest the set of stumps from which the bails were removed, but not actually in safe territory, is given out. If the batsman has any part of his body or his bat (if he's holding it) on the ground behind the line of the crease, then he cannot be run out (except if both batsmen are on the same side of a crease); frequently it is a close call whether or not a batsman gained his ground in this way before the bails were removed. (The difference between stumped and run out is that the wicketkeeper may stump a batsman who goes too far forward to play the ball, while any fielder, including the keeper, may run out a batsman who goes too far for any other purpose, including for taking a run.)

hit the ball twice-If the batsman hits the ball twice, he is out. But the second hit must be an actual hit: the batsman may stop the ball a second time with his bat; this action is often performed to stop the ball from hitting the stumps.

No batsman has been out hit the ball twice in Test cricket.

obstructing the field- If the batsman, by action or by words, obstructs a fielder, then he is out. However, a batsman is allowed to obstruct the view of a fielder by standing in front of him. He may also stand in between the fielder and the stumps. The rule intends to prevent batsman from interfering with a fielder by, for instance, pushing him. Also, a player may be given out if they deliberatly hit a ball being thrown back to the keeper whilst being out of their crease, as happened to Inzamam-ul-Haq.

Only one individual has ever been out obstructing the field in a Test match, when England's Len Hutton in 1951, playing against South Africa at The Oval in London, prevented the South African wicket-keeper Russell Endean from catching him whilst knocking the ball away from his stumps. By coincidence, Russell Endean was one of the few people to be given out handled the ball in a Test match (see above).

In one day cricket however three people have been given out obstructing the field. The first was Pakistan's Rameez Raja and the latest one has been Inzamam-ul-Haq against India in February 2006.

hit wicket- If the batsman dislodges his own stumps with his body or bat, he is out.

This law does not apply if he was avoiding a ball thrown back to the wicket by a fielder, or broke the wicket in avoiding a run out.

Being out Hit-wicket is often seen as a comedic method of dismissal. Jonathan Agnew and Brian Johnston, commentators on BBC Radio's Test Match Special got themselves into difficulty when Ian Botham dislodged the bails trying to step over the stumps playing a hook shot.

In the recent Test Series between England and Pakistan at Headingley the Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq was out hit wicket when he fell over the stumps and dislodged the bails


timed out--
If a new player takes more than three minutes to enter the field of play after the previous batsman was ruled out, then the new player is out. In the case of extremely long delays, the umpires may forfeit the match to either team. This method of taking a wicket has never been employed in the history of Test cricket. However how long a delay is allowed before calling the game a forfeit, is still not known!



A batsman can be dismissed in a number of ways, the most common being bowled, caught, leg before wicket (LBW), stumped and run out. Much rarer are hit wicket, hit the ball twice, handled the ball, obstructing the field and timed out.

The bowler only "gets credit" for a wicket if the batsman is out bowled, LBW, caught, stumped, or hit wicket. If the ball is a no ball then the batsman cannot be out in any of these ways. The batsman can, however, be out run out, handled the ball, hit the ball twice, obstructing the field, or timed out on any ball

Answer 7

There are many ways but in any even it's fun to watch the umpire raising his first finger and and the bowler his longest finger at the batsman.

Answer 8

This has been asked quite a few times in the past weeks.
