11. Bowled Out:
It is certainly touted as one of the most straightforward dismissals in Cricket, where bowl which is a legal delivery hit the stumps and bails come out is regarding as dismissal in Cricket.
In Bowled Out any bowler is aiming to dislodge opposition batters- bails either it hits one stumps or it goes on to hit more than one stumps it is considered as out in Gentlemen’s game.
The bowlers who can consistently hit the yorkers are most probable to hit middle stumps or dislodge bails.
It is one of the most easiest delivery in Cricket where Bowler needs to execute his/her skills to the best of their ability.
Bowlers like Bumrah are the ones known for picking more wickets via Bowled method as it is not easy to execute.
10. Caught Out Dismissal:
It is another most popular dismissal in Cricket where batter can possibly dismissed in gentlemen’s game.
Based on MCC law, if the batsman attempt for any shot and balls went in air any form of catch taken before the ball hit the ground is termed as out.
That catch could have been taken by wicketkeeper, any fielder also the ball grazes the glove or edge of the bat is caught briefly.
This dismissal involves brilliant bowling, precise fielding skills and batsman missed attempt where he is trying to smash ball across the park.
9. Leg Before Wicket(LBW):
This is another common dismissal, which for beginner watching this game for first time would not be able to understand how these are operated.
When a legal delivery hit the batsman pad or any part of the body without missing bat and Umpire believe that ball would have hit the stumps they term batsman out.
Where batter who is not convinced could probably take decision against Umpire by taking review, where Several factors are considered which include- ball pitched the line, whether the ball has stuck in line of stumps, where batsman could have most probably offered shot and that decision could be possibly reviewed by Decision Review Technology.
8. Run Out:
A batsman is termed as out, while the ball is in play, the stumps are hit by opposition fielders while batters are running between the wickets.
It occurs on pitch mostly where we have witnessed slight miscommunication between two batters on stumps where on numerous occasions, batter who gets out generally show animated reaction on the field as if the other batter running slow or miscommunication have ensured that batters are run out.
Run Out is pretty easly rule to comprehend and understand to wider extent.
7. Stumping Out:
The bowlers are smart enough, to deceive any batter where batsman try on most occasion to step outside the crease hit the ball all across the sixes and wicketkeepers standing behind the stumps, are clever enough to take balls off before any batter momentarily realize that they can’t go back they are termed stumped out.
Several times batters when they get out, they go for review even leg umpires who aren’t sure, goes for review and third umpire decide the magnitude of result whether batters leg is in the air or not, whether the batter have left the crease or not based on that decision are delivered by 3rd Umpire.
6. Hit Wicket:
This is another most important dismissal in Cricket, where batter who is trying to hit any ball misses the ball or meanwhile his bat or any other part of body hits the stump it is termed as Hit Wicket.
This dismissal is very common in Gentlemen’s game, very often this happen while missing follow through moment, and batter or any part of body hits the stumps.
5. Obstructing the Field:
When you look at Obstructing the field, it is pretty difficult to understand, where batter while running between the wickets try to handle the ball, while the game is in action.
This can be understood where using the body to protect yourself from ball while game is in play, and the Key word is intentional- accidental incident doesn’t play.
If fielding side appeals that batsman is intentionally picking up balls to protect yourself as batter while the game is in play is certainly regarding as out as Obstructing the field.
4. Hitting the Ball Twice:
If you look at this method, where batsman while the game is in play any legitimate ball is delivered while batter is not allowed to hit ball twice, will be termed as out.
This is extremely rare instance in Cricket, where batsman is found out based on these methodology, If the second hit is done by any batter which is non aggressive, it’s termed as not out.
Obviously if the batter is doing intentionally it can be clearly predicted that it is termed as out where they are hitting the ball twice.
3. Timed Out:
If any batter is termed Time Out, would mean once any wicket is out and next batter is about to come in action, where they need to arrive at crease in 3 minute.
In some context of the game is kept is only 2 minutes if the incoming batters fail to appear on crease on these stipulated time period as per laws of the game it is termed Timed Out.
Occasionally we have seen these dismissals in Cricket, and Saud Shakeel was probably the last batter who failed to arrive at the crease, as he was sleeping was termed out in Pakistan T20 domestic tournament.
2. Retired Out:
This is again one of the most common dismissal in Cricket, where the batter get injured and retire from the innings, due to illness, eventually players is termed as retired out as he is not capable to come back in the game to play remaining matches.
Retired out often happen in cricket considering all three formats of the game, where fitness is paramount importance any one failing that would not be able to play consistent Cricket on regular basis.
1. Mankad Out(Run Out at Non Strikers End) :
This is another form of dismissal which rarely occurs in Cricket, where batters standing in non strikers end while the game is in play and bowler is all set to leave his crease and deliver while he realizes non striker have already left the ground so they can simply throw ball on non strikers wicket as per laws of game, it is termed out.
The last biggest example we witnessed, where R Ashwin did Mankad against Jos Butler for which the latter wasn’t happy where the emotions were clearly echoed on the screen.
Later Butler and Ashwin rekindled their friendship when they played for same franchise Rajasthan Royals later all those differences were sorted brilliantly between these two.
This type of dismissal sometimes considered non ethical in the context of the game, where few people would call those players who did mankad as someone who is against Sportsmanship spirit, where Ashwin faced several wrath on social media for his activity.
There were several others who played Ashwin for making proper use of rule in the context of the game.
Overall, if you look at all these dismissal that happens often in Cricket where some of the dismissals are pretty common while others are rare but all these rules are fare and legitimate under MCC laws so it is considered legally and officially true in the context of the gentlemen’s game.
Cricket rules must be tweaked with time, in order to make it look more interesting let’s see whether we witness these changes in time to come or not.
