There are ten different ways of getting out. They are defined below: |
|
| |
 Bowled
Caught
Timed out
Handled the ball
Hit the ball twice
Hit wicket
Stumped
Leg before wicket
Obstructing the field
Run
out
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
But first, a few necessary
definitions:
The wicket is said to be broken if one or both of the bails have been dislodged
and fallen to the ground. If the bails have fallen off for any reason and the
ball is still in play, then breaking the wicket must be accomplished by pulling
a stump completely out of the ground. If the wicket needs to be broken like
this with the ball, the uprooting of the stump must be done with the ball in
contact with the stump.
The field is notionally split into two halves, along a line down the centre of
the pitch. The half of the field in front of the striker is called the off
side, the half behind is called the leg side, or sometimes the on side. Thus,
standing at the bowler's wicket and looking towards a right-handed striker's
wicket, the off side is to the left and the leg side to the right (and
vice-versa for a left-handed striker). The stumps of the striker's wicket are
called off stump, middle stump, and leg stump, depending on which side they are
on. When a batsman gets out, no matter by what method, his wicket is said to
have fallen, and the fielding team are said to have taken a wicket.

A batsman is bowled if his wicket is bowled down or broken. For
this to happen, the ball must touch a stump directly after being delivered from
the bowler, or be played on to the wicket by the batsman after coming off
either his bat or any part of the his person. The ball can hit the wicket and
the bails remain in place. In such a case the batsman is not out.

If a new
batsman takes longer than two minutes to appear on the field, from the time the
previous wicket falls. If the umpire believes the action was willful, the
batsman will be dismissed 'timed out'.
NB:
This almost never happens.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
If a batsman
touches the ball, which is in play, with a hand not currently holding the bat,
without the permission of the fielding side. This does not include being hit on
the hand by a delivery, or any other non-deliberate action.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
If a batsman, after the ball is struck or stopped by any part of his body or
equipment, deliberately hits the ball again for any reason other than to defend
his wicket from being broken by the ball, he is given out 'hit the ball twice'.
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
If, in attempting to hit a ball or taking off for a
first run, the batsman touches and breaks the wicket. This includes with the
bat or dislodged pieces of the batsman's equipment -- even a helmet or
spectacles, the batsman is given out 'hit wicket'.
|

If the batsman is out of his ground and the wicket is put down by
the wicketkeeper in the course of a stroke being made, the batsman is out
'stumped'. If the batsman is in the course of running and the wicketkeeper puts
the wicket down, then he is not stumped, but run out.

Put simply, leg before wicket is the act of preventing the ball
from hitting the wicket with any part of the body, not just the leg. The
following are different situations under which an umpire decides whether to
give an lbw decision or not.
While trying to play a shot, if the ball does not touch his bat or
hand holding the bat, he is out lbw if the ball hits any part of his body,
provided:
a) The ball is pitched in a straight line between the two sets of wickets, or
b) The ball pitches on the off side of the striker's wicket or
c) If the ball hits the striker full pitch before hitting the ground, and it
would have pitched in a straight line between the two sets of wickets. The
point of impact between the ball and the striker must be in a straight line
between the two sets of wickets, even if it is above the height of the bails.
If the batsman does not attempt to play the ball with his bat, then
he may be given out LBW if the above conditions are satisfied. Even if the
above conditions are not met, he can be given out if 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.
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.
The following diagram explains cases where an umpire may give lbw decision: |
|
| |
Ball 1:
The point of impact on the striker's person is not in a straight line between wicket and the wicket -- 'Not out'. But, as the point of impact is outside the line of the off stump, the striker would be out if he made no genuine attempt to play the ball -- provided that the ball would have hit the wicket.
Ball 2:
The ball would have hit the wicket -- 'Out'. The umpire must be satisfied that the ball is not rising sufficiently to pass over the top of the stumps.
Ball 3:
The ball would have hit the wicket -- 'Out'
Ball 4:
The ball pitched between wicket and wicket and providing the umpire is satisfied that the break will not cause the ball to pass outside the off stump -- 'Out'.
Ball 5:
A ball pitching outside the leg stump -- 'Not out'. |

If a batsman deliberately interferes
with the efforts of fielders -- either by words or action -- to gather the ball
or effect a run out. This does not include running a path between the fielder
and the wicket so that the fielder cannot throw the stumps down with the ball,
which is quite legal, but does include any deliberate attempt to swat the ball
away. |

A batsman is run out under one of the following conditions:
a) 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.
b) The non-striker can 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.
c) 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 not in play -- so they may confer
in the middle of the pitch between deliveries if they desire.
If a batsman is out caught, bowled, lbw, stumped, or hit wicket, then the bowler is credited with taking the wicket. In case of run out, obstructing the field, timed out no single person is credited with the dismissal.
