Dismissal (cricket)In the sport of cricket,
a dismissal occurs when the batsman is out. At this point
a batsman must discontinue batting and leave
the field permanently for the innings except in the case of
acting as a runner.
METHODS OF DISMISSAL
A batsman can be dismissed in a number of ways, the most common are:BowledCaughtLeg before wicket (LBW)StumpedRun out.
Much rarer are hit wicket, hit the ball twice, handled the ball, obstructing the field and timed out.
If a bowler's delivery hits the stumps and a bail is completely removed from the top of the stumps, the striker (the batsman facing the bowler) is out.
If the batsman hits the ball with the bat and the ball is caught by the bowler or a fielder before it hits the ground, then the batsman is out.
If the ball strikes any part of the batsman's lower body
and, in the umpire's judgement, the ball would
have hit the batsman's stumps but for this
interception, then the batsman is out.
If a fielder uses the ball to remove the bails from either set of stumps whilst the batsmen are running between the wickets or otherwise away from the crease during the course of play, then the batsman (striker or non-striker) is out.
If the striker steps in front of the crease to play the ball, and the wicket-keeper is able to remove the bails from the wicket with the ball, then the striker is out.
If the batsman touches the ball with his hand not in contact with the bat for any purpose other than, he can be given out on opponent’s appeal.
If the batsman dislodges his own stumps with his body or bat, while in the process of taking a shot or beginning his first run, then he is out.
If any batsman leaves the field of play without the Umpire's consent for any reason other than injury or incapacity, he may resume the innings only with the consent of the opposing captain. If he fails to resume his innings, he is out.
An incoming batsman is
“timed out” if he will fully take more than three minutes to be ready to face the next delivery.
