in cricket how many ways can a batsman be out i can think of 5?

Answer 1

Caught

A batter is out caught when a fielder catches the ball directly off the bat, before it has hit the ground.

Bowled

Bowler manages to get a ball through and knock off the bails, the two bits of wood resting at the top of the stumps, then the batsman is out "bowled".

LBW

The ball pitches outside the line of leg stump, regardless of whether or not the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps.

Run-out

A run-out is when the batters are going for a run or runs and but fall short of the batting crease when the stumps are broken by the fielding team.

Stumped

If a batter comes down the wicket to smash the ball, there's a chance they'll be stumped by the wicketkeeper.

Handled the ball

If the batsmen use their hands they can be given out because they handled the ball.

Timed out

When a wicket falls, the next batter must be at the crease to face the next ball within three minutes of the wicket falling.

Double hit

A batter can be given out hitting the ball twice if the second strike is deliberate.

Hit wicket

This dismissal happens when the batter knocks their stumps while playing a shot or avoiding a delivery.

Obstructing the field

The umpire can give a batsman out if he feels the batter has got in the way of a fielder who is about to take a catch or attempt a run-out on purpose.

Answer 2

Dismissal of a batsman
For more details on Dismissal, see Dismissal (cricket).
There are ten ways in which a batsman may be dismissed. Once a batsman is dismissed, he leaves the field to be replaced by another batsman. When the tenth batsmen is out, and only one batsman remains undismissed, the side is "all out" and the innings is over.

Many modes of dismissal require the wicket to be "put down". The wicket is put down if a bail is dislodged from the top of the stumps; or if a stump is struck out of the ground either by the ball, or by a fielder using his hand which is holding the ball. Of the following ten modes of dismissal, the first six are common, while the last four are technicalities which rarely occur. Briefly, the ten modes are:

Caught — When a fielder catches the ball before it 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)
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)
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.
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.
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.

Batsmen cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped, or hit wicket off a no ball. They cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, or hit the ball twice off a wide.

Some of these modes of dismissal can occur 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 is, by its nature, a dismissal without a delivery. With all other modes of dismissal, only one batsman can be dismissed per ball bowled.

Answer 3

In the game of cricket, a batsman can get out in 10 different ways. These are explained below:

1) Caught — When a fielder catches the ball before it 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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).

Batsmen cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, stumped, or hit wicket off a no ball. They cannot be out bowled, caught, leg before wicket, or hit the ball twice off a wide.

Answer 4

Apart from "Hit Wicket" which means with bat or hat etc. there is also "Played On", which is usually attributed to the bowler these days. It's when the ball hits bat then wicket.
Also, there used to be another name for a run out where the batsman hits ball at the other wicket - his team mate being out of crease....but I think that's rolled into "Run out" now.

That only leaves retired hurt, disqualified or declared.

There are also some rules in local Cricket (Probably not pro) which state that a batsman must retire at 50 runs (Or whatever number). This is usually in one day Cricket and allows all team members to have a go.

There are, in fact, not FIVE, - but, no fewer than TEN, - ways, for the batsman to be dismissed, - but, somebody BEAT me, to the LISTING of them, - because, I haven't been well, - and stayed OFF my computer, all week-end!

The person who PROVIDED that FULL list, of the 10, though, was CORRECT, in every detail! However, - a RUN OUT, off a "NO-BALL" counts, as WELL, - so, in FACT, there are ELEVEN!
