Dismissals:


There are ten ways in which a batsman can be dismissed. Five of the wickets are very common and happens almost in every game whereas the rest of the five dismissals happens very rarely.  The common forms of dismissal are 

1)Bowled: If the ball hits the stumps then it is called bowled.

2) Caught: When a batsman hits the ball in the air and if a fielder catches the ball fully within the field of play or without bouncing  then it is called as caught.
This means that the batsman cannot be out caught if:
·         The ball is called a no ball or dead ball.
·         The batsman does not hit the ball with his bat or the gloved hand holding the bat.
·         The ball, having been hit, makes contact with the field before a fielder catches the ball.
·         The ball does not remain under the control of the fielder.
·         The ball is hit and lands beyond or on the boundary; (six runs).
·         A fielder taking the catch makes contact with the boundary rope or the area outside the boundary, with any part of his body, equipment, when touching the ball.
·         The ball hits a close in fielder on the helmet or any equipment, and rebounds in the air for a catch.

3) Leg before wicket (LBW): If the batsman fails to hit the ball with the bat and the bowl hits the pads then it is called as LBW. To be dismissed in LBW the ball must be pitching in or outside the off stump and the impact of the ball should be in line and should hit the stump.

4) Run out: If the batsman fails to get in the pitch while completing a run then it is called as run out.

 5)Stumped: If the batsman's foots  out of the crease while hitting the ball and the wicket keeper remove the bails then it is called as stumped.
  
The rare methods of getting out are:

1)Hit wicket: If the batsman himself hits the stumps by bat or by body then it is called as hit wicket.

2) Hit the ball twice: The batsman is allowed to hit the ball with the bat only once .If the batsman hits the ball twice then he/she is given out.

3) Obstructing the field: Obstructing the field indicates that either batsman can be given out if he willfully attempts to obstruct or distract the fielding side by word or action.

4) Handled the ball: It indicates that either batsman can be given out if they intentionally touch the ball with a hand that is not holding their bat. An exception is given if the batsman handles the ball to avoid injury.

5) Time out: It occurs when an incoming batsman is not ready to play within three minutes of the previous batsman being out. It is very rare to be out in such a fashion, and has never occurred in any international match.


The Laws state that the fielding team, usually the bowler in practice, must appeal for a dismissal before the umpire can give his decision. If the batsman is out, the umpire raises a forefinger and says "Out!"; otherwise, he will shake his head and say "Not out". There is, effectively, an eleventh method of dismissal, retired out, which is not an on-field dismissal as such but rather a retrospective one for which no fielder is credited.

Extras: Additional runs can be gained by the batting team as extras (called "sundries" in Australia) due to errors made by the fielding side. This is achieved in four ways: 1) No ball: It is a penalty against the fielding team, usually as a result of an illegal delivery by the bowler. There are two ways by which the the bowl delivered is called as no ball. One is if the bowler over steps the crease while delivering the bowl and another is if the bowl which is delivered is full tosh ball above the waist height. 2) Wide: There are two ways by which the bowl deliveres is called as wide ball. One is if the ball while  being delivered by a bowler too wide and another is if it is too high to be hit by the batsman, and ruled so by the umpire. 3) bye: an extra awarded if the batsman misses the ball and it goes past the wicket-keeper and gives the batsmen time to run in the conventional way. leg bye is also considered as bye run if the ball has h...

Umpires : The game on the field is regulated by two  u mpires.O ne of who stands behind the wicket at the bowler's end, the other in a position called "square leg". The main role of the umpires is to adjudicate on whether a ball is correctly bowled  when a run is scored, and whether a batsman is out b ut the fielding side m ust appeal the  umpire for the decision . Umpires also determine when intervals start and end, decide on the suitability of the playing conditions and can interrupt or even abandon the match due to circumstances likely to endanger the players, such as a damp pitch or deterioration of the light.Witho u t the  u mpires the cricket is impossible to play ca use the players cannot decide ab ut the no balls and wide balls etc. The  umpires also examine abo u t the lights which are  u sed in the game. If the lights are getting dimmer then the  umpires stops the game. Some decisions cannot be handled by the  u mpires on the gr...

Bowling: Most bowlers are considered specialists in that they are selected for the team because of their skill as a bowler, although some are all-rounders and even specialist batsmen bowl occasionally. The specialist bowlers are active multiple times during an innings, but may not bowl two overs consecutively. If the captain wants a bowler to "change ends", another bowler must temporarily fill in so that the change is not immediate. A bowler reaches his delivery stride by means of a "run-up" and an over is deemed to have begun when the bowler starts his run up for the first delivery of that over, the ball then being "in play".Fast bowlers, needing momentum, take a lengthy run up while bowlers with a slow delivery take no more than a couple of steps before bowling. The fastest bowlers can deliver the ball at a speed of over 150kilometres per hour and they sometimes rely on sheer speed to try and defeat the batsman, who is forced to react very quick...
