YOU’RE OUT

There are 10 ways to get out in cricket. These methods of getting out are listed in approximate order of how commonly they occur.

Caught - a fielder catches the ball on the full after the batsman has hit it with his bat or the ball hits the batter on the hand, below the wrist.

Bowled - If the batsman misses the bowler's delivery or deflects the ball onto the stumps off their bat or pad and the ball hits and breaks the wicket. Can't be bowled off a no-ball.

Leg before wicket (LBW) – if the umpire believes the ball would have hit the stumps if it had not been obstructed by the batsman's pads and provided several other conditions.

Run-out - A run-out is when the batters are going for a run but fall short of the batting crease when the stumps are broken by the fielding team. Stumped - when the keeper collects the ball and knocks off the bails before the batter gets their bat or any part of their body grounded behind the batting crease.

Hit wicket - the batsman touches and breaks the wicket with their bat or a piece of their equipment eg helmet.

Handle the ball - If a batsman touches the ball with a hand without the permission of the fielding side.

Obstructing the field - If a batsman deliberately interferes with the efforts of fielders to gather the ball or effect a run-out.

Hit the ball twice - If a batsman hits a delivery with his bat and then deliberately hits the ball again other than to defend his wicket.

Timed out - If a new batsman takes longer than three minutes to appear on the field.
