WAYS OF GETTING OUT
Cricket is a batsman's game. or is it? a bowler can bowl the worst ball of his life,
yet he gets another chance whereas one bad shot from a batsman might end the match for him.
Often I wonder whether batsman (or bats they use)
in world cricket have evolved lot more than the bowlers over the years.
Even when there are 10 total ways in which a batsman can be dismissed in a cricket match, bowlers are failing to device methods to bring about a batsman's dismissal.
Now that we've made a note of the fact, in following,
we repeat & explain the modes of dismissals there are in a game of cricket.
read carefully all you bowlers out there..
1.Caught
If a fielder catches the ball on the full after the batsman has hit it with his bat. However, if the fielder catches the ball, but either during the catch or immediately afterwards touches or steps over the boundary, then the batsman scores six runs and is not out.
2.Bowled
If the batsman misses the ball and it hits and breaks the wicket directly from the bowler's delivery. The batsman is out whether or not he is behind his popping crease. He is also out bowled if the ball breaks the wicket after deflecting from his bat or body. The batsman is not out if the bails does not put down
3.Leg before wicket
If the batsman misses the ball with his bat, but intercepts it with part of his body when it would otherwise have hit the wicket, and provided several other conditions (described below) are satisfied. An umpire must adjudicate such a decision, and will only do so if the fielding team appeal the decision. This is a question asked of the umpire, usually of the form "How's that?" (or "Howzat?"), and usually quite enthusiastic and loud. If the ball bounces outside an imaginary line drawn straight down the pitch from the outside edge of leg stump, then the batsman cannot be out LBW, no matter whether or not the ball would have hit the stumps. If the batsman attempts to play a shot at the ball with his bat (and misses) he may only be given out LBW if the ball strikes the batsman between imaginary lines drawn down the pitch from the outside edges of leg and off stumps (ie. directly in line with the wicket). If the batsman does not attempt to play the ball with his bat, then he may be given out LBW without satisfying this condition, as long as the umpire is convinced the ball would have hit the wicket. If the ball has hit the bat before the hitting the batsman, then he cannot be given out LBW.
4.Run-out
If a batsman is attempting to take a run, or to return to his crease after an aborted run, and a fielder breaks that batsman's wicket with the ball while he is out of the crease. The fielder may either break the wicket with a hand which holds the ball, or with the ball directly. It is possible for the non-striker to be run out if the striker hits the ball straight down the pitch towards the non-striker's wicket, and the bowler deflects the ball on to the wicket while the non-striker is out of his crease. If the ball is hit directly on to the non-striker's wicket, without being touched by a fielder, then the non-striker is not out. If the non-striker leaves his crease (in preparation to run) while the bowler is running up, the bowler may run him out without bowling the ball. Batsmen cannot be run out while the ball is dead - so they may confer in the middle of the pitch between deliveries if they desire.
5.Stumped
If a batsman misses the ball and in attempting to play it steps outside his crease, he is out stumped if the wicket-keeper gathers the ball and breaks the wicket with it before the batsman can ground part of his body or his bat behind his crease.
7.Obstructing the field
There are ten ways a batsman can be out -
five are very common and
five arevery rare.
More often than not a batsman will be caught,
bowled, given leg before wicket (lbw), run out and stumped.
so we will give some small tips from above for the first five common outs .
for the remaining five other ways to lose your wicket range from the uncommon and almost unseen.we will see the uncommon items with detail reports , laws, and some examples

for the remaining five other ways to lose your wicket range from the uncommon and almost unseen.we will see the uncommon items with detail reports , laws, and some examples
1. Hit wicket
This method of dismissal is governed by Law 35 of
the laws of cricket. The striker is out "hit wicket" if,
after the bowler has entered his delivery stride and while the ball is in play,
his wicket is put down by his bat or his person.
The striker may do this whilst preparing to receive or receiving
a delivery or in setting off for his first run after playing the delivery.
In simple language if the striking batsman knocks the bails off the
stumps or uproots the stumps, while attempting to hit the ball or take off for a run,
he is out hit wicket
Although a bowler is given credit for the wicket,it is not a method of
dismissal that bowler actively seeks. A batsman not be given out
"hit wicket" if the ball is not actually delivered by the bowler or if
the delivery is a noball
This method is the sixth most common method of dismissal
after caught, bowled, leg before wicket, run out and stumped.
It is significantly rarer than any of these, which constitute
the five conventional methods, but still much more common than
the other four (timed out, handled the ball, obstructing the
field and hit the ball twice), which are extremely rare.
2. Obstructing the field
Inzamam was given out 'obstructing the field' in Peshawar in 2006
The umpire can give a batsman out "obstructing the field" 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.
But the obstruction has to be seen to be a deliberate act to be
given out, and the bowler does not get the credit for the
dismissal.
This is a very uncommon method of dismissal hardly ever seen
in club or international cricket.
However Pakistan's Inzamam-ul-Haq was controversially dismissed
in this fashion during Pakistan's one-day international against
India in Peshawar in February 2006.
The Pakistan batsman was out of his crease when he "defended"
Suresh Raina's throw at the stumps from the outfield.
The Indian fielders rightly appealed and Inzamam was given his
marching orders, much to his chagrin.
He was only the third batsman in the history of limited-overs
internationals to be given out obstructing the field.
More recently, former England batsman Mark Ramprakash
was given out obstructing the field while playing for Surrey
against Gloucestershire in the County Championship in 2011.
Law 37 of the Laws of cricket provides that :
"Either batsman is out Obstructing the field if he wilfully obstructs or distracts the opposing side by word or action. It shall be regarded as obstruction if either batsman wilfully, and without the consent of the fielding side, strikes the ball with his bat or person, other than a hand not holding the bat, after the ball has touched a fielder."
If the obstruction is accidental, then it is not wilful, and so the batsman cannot be given out Obstructing the field.
Other provisions of Law 37
If either batsman is out 'obstructing the field', any runs completed before the offence, together with any penalty extras and the penalty for a No ball or Wide are still scored, except when the offence stopped a catch being caught when only penalties are still scored.
The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
---------------------------------------------xxxxxxxxx---------------------------------------
3. Handled the ball
Gooch was given out handled the ball against Australia in 1993
If a batsman is worried the ball will roll back on to the
stumps after playing a shot, they can knock the ball away with
the bat, feet or pads.
But if they use their hands they can be given out handled the
ball.Again this is another type of dismissal you see rarely - but it
does happen.Former England captain Michael Vaughan has been dismissed this way.
When a batsman picks the ball up off the pitch to pass the
ball back to the fielding side though, this is fine.
Normally, the batsman will check with the fielding side that
they are happy for him to do this.
The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
Law 33 of the Laws of cricket provides that " Either batsman is out Handled the ball if
he wilfully touches the ball while in play with hand or hands not holding the bat unless he does so with the consent of the opposing side."
A batsman is not out 'handled the ball' if: (i) He handles the ball in order to avoid injury; OR (ii) He uses his hand or hands to return the ball to any member of the fielding side with the consent of that side.
Though a batsman is out handled the ball if he uses his hand or hands to return the ball to any member of the fielding side without the consent of that side when the ball is still in play.
Other provisions of Law 33
If either batsman is out 'handled the ball', any runs completed before the offence, together with any penalty extras and the penalty for a No ball or Wide are still scored.
The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Timed out
Unusual dismissal
The purpose of the law is to ensure there are no unnecessary
delays to the game. It is easily avoided and so it is very
unusual for a batsman to get out 'timed out'.
As of august 2011,
there have been no instances of this type of dismissal
in Test match or One Day International cricket and there
have only been four instances in first-class cricket as a
whole.
Batsmen dismissed 'timed out' in first-class cricket
Andrew Jordaan - Eastern Province v Transvaal at Port Elizabeth
in 1987–88
Hemulal Yadav - Tripura v Orissa at Cuttack in 1997
Vasbert Drakes - Border v Free State at East London in 2002
AJ Harris - Nottinghamshire v Durham UCCE at Nottingham in 2003
Law 31 of the Laws of cricket provides that an incoming batsman must be in position
to take guard or for his partner to be ready to receive the next ball within
three minutes of the fall of the previous wicket. If this requirement is not met,
the incoming batsman will be given out, timed out,on appeal.
The "incoming batsman" may be any batsman who has not yet batted.
There is no prescribed batting order in cricket.
If no batsman has set foot on the field when the appeal is made,
the batting captain may pick any player who has not yet batted as the one to be given out.
[1] As a result, if the next batsman was only slightly delayed,
the captain would be expected to sacrifice his worst batsman—usually the No. 11.
If there is protracted delay in which no batsman comes to the wicket
so that the umpires consider that the batting team is refusing to play,
the umpires will award the match to the other team. If, however,
no player comes to the wicket because all eligible players are unable to bat
(e.g. through injury or illness) then they are not given out timed out;
instead the innings is declared closed and 'absent ill/injured/hurt/dead[2]' is noted
next to those players' names as appropriate.
A new shortened version of cricket, Twenty20 cricket,
stipulates that a batsman must be on the field within 90 seconds,
rather than the three minutes specified in the Laws,
although the batsman is not automatically out in this instance;
the bowler is allowed to bowl the ball without the batsman there
in an attempt to bowl him out. As a result of this rule,
rather than sitting in the pavilion, the batsman next
in are positioned on a bench on the boundary rather like other team sports
such as association football and rugby.
5. hit the ball twice
Law 34 (Hit the ball twice)
1. Out Hit the ball twice
(a) The striker is out Hit the ball twice if,
while the ball is in play, it strikes any part of
his person or is struck by his bat and, before the ball
has been touched by a fielder, he wilfully strikes it
again with his bat or person, other than a hand not holding the bat,
except for the sole purpose of guarding his wicket.
See above and Laws 33 (Handled the ball) and 37 (Obstructing the field).
(b) For the purpose of this Law, 'struck' or 'strike' shall include contact with the person of the striker.
The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
Unusual dismissal
An example of the dismissal occurred in 1906 when John King,
playing for Leicestershire against Surrey at The Oval tried
to score a run after playing the ball twice to avoid getting bowled.
Had he not tried to score a run, he would not have been out.
Based on the history of the game, this method of dismissal is the second rarest
after timed out, although in modern times timed out has become more common.
One relatively recent example of a batsman being out "Hit the ball twice" was
Kurt Wilkinson's dismissal when playing for Barbados againstRest of Leeward
Islands in the 2002-03 Red Stripe Bowl.
The dismissal was controversial as
there was doubt as to whether Wilkinson had "wilfully" struck the ball twice
as required under the relevant law of cricket.
John King
King is the last batsman to have been given out Hit the ball twice in a first-class game
in England, when in the match against Surrey at the Oval in 1906 King
stopped the ball from running onto his stumps by hitting it a second time,
and then attempted to run a single.
