The question was
what are the ways a batsman can go out?
To answer: a batsman is out when he:
- Allows a delivery to knock a bail off his wicket
- Hits a ball caught in the air by a fieldsman
- Hits his own wicket and knocks off a bail
- Uses his body to block a delivery from hitting his wicket, even if
unintentional
- Is not over the popping crease when a fieldsman throws a ball and
knocks the bail off the wicket toward which the batsman is approaching, or
when a fieldsman holds the ball and knocks the bail off by hitting it
- Crosses the popping crease while trying to hit the ball and the
wicket-keeper grabs the ball and knocks the bail off his wicket before the
batsman can return
- Touches a ball in play
- Hits a ball twice
- Intentionally interferes with a fielder
- Breaks his wicket while receiving, or preparing to receive, a
delivery
The question (&
answer) come from p. 75 of The Sports Rules Book by Thomas Hanlon. The book was published in 1998 by Human
Kinetics Publishers.
