Ways in which batsman is dismissed



Ways in which batsman is dismissed :



  • A batsman is bowled (out) if the ball hits the wicket and dislodges either bail from the top of the stumps.
  • A batsman is out LBW (Leg Before Wicket) if the ball hits the batsman on his pads and in the opinion of the umpire it was pitched on a straight line between the wicket or on  the off side and would hit the wicket.
  • A batsman is out hit wicket if a ball is dislodged by his bat, body or cap while he is in the act of making his stroke.
  • A batsman is out if he hits the ball twice.
  • An incoming batsman shall be out if he takes more time to come in. Usually two or three minutes being timed from the moment a wicket falls until the new batsman steps on to the field of play.
  • The batsman shall be caught out if the ball hit by him is caught by any fielder before it touches the ground.
  • The batsman shall be stumped out when he is out of his crease when the ball is being bowled and the wicket is put down by the wicket keeper.
  • The batsman is run out when he is out of his crease while attempting a run and his wicket is put down by any player of the opposite side.

    Appeal
    Appeal is the call of the umpire for a decision on whether a batsman is out. If an appeal is not made by the fielding side before the bowler delivers the next ball, the umpires shall not give a batsman out.
    On appeal, either batsman shall be given out obstructing the field if he willfully obstructs the opposite side by work or action or he willfully obstruct a fielder and prevent a catch being made.
