The Ten Ways of getting "Out" in cricket:

According to the laws of cricket adjudicated by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), there are ten ways of getting out (commonly referred to as dismissals) in the game of cricket. These are:

  • Law 30: "Out bowled"
  • Law 31: "Out timed out"
  • Law 32: "Out caught"
  • Law 33: "Out handled the ball"
  • Law 34: "Out hit the ball twice"
  • Law 35: "Out hit wicket"
  • Law 36: "Out leg before wicket"
  • Law 37: "Out obstructing the field"
  • Law 38: "Out run out"
  • Law 39: "Out stumped"

In addition to these ten ways of getting out, a batsmen may declare himself "Out retired" should he wish to not continue with his innings for a particular reason. This is mainly done in tour preparation games, where settled batsmen will retire to give other batsmen an opportunity to play (should the batting side be in a comfortable position).

The different ways are:

  • Bowled - When the ball hits the stumps
  • Caught behind - When the ball nicks the bat and the wicket keeper catches the ball
  • Caught - When the batsman hits the ball and it is caught by a fielder
  • LBW - Leg Before Wicket - When the ball was supposedly heading towards the stump and hit the batsman's pads intead
  • Run out - When the fielding team manages to dislodge the bails on one side of the pitch with the possession of the ball before the batsman reaches there
  • Stumped - When the wicket keeper dislodges the bails of the stumps behind the batsman when he goes out of his crease and doesnt come inside on time

A run is scored in cricket when the batsman on one end of the cricket pitch runs and reaches the other end. If the fielding team retrieves the ball and then manages to dislodge the bails using the cricket ball before the batsman reaches his end of the pitch, then he is considered to be run-out
