Hi m8 What about starting a stump the guru. Someone starts with a question and when a person gets the correct answer he then takes over the guru title? Then he posts a question and so on? What would you reckon the chances of kicking this of are? ps i now have a teaser for yourself!!! How many ways can a batsman be given out and what are they? ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

Definitely a good idea, One Hammer, I'll make this a sticky topic. So there it is people, question number 1: How many ways can a batsman be given out and what are they? OK, some basic rules:

That sounds Excellent. Only thing JP is if im not on when someone gets the answer Can there be a way ,that if they are sure they have found the answer ,like in a post,they can post the correct Answer and ask a question themselves rather than wait for the timezones to cross? I like the idea of making it not easy but also not impossible to get the answer as it is for fun . What do you think? ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

Yup, that idea sounds fine. So long as it's not something super obscure then post the answer (cross-reference if necessary) and post a question. Alternatively, and this is possibly a better idea, the question setter should PM me the answer to the question so I can then answer if they're not around. Obviously this would mean I can't take part if this is done, but that's fine by me. |

I think the answer is 9 they are - 1) Bowled 2) Caught 3) LBW 4) Run Out 5) Stumped 6) Hit Wicket 7) Obstructing the field 8) Hit ball twice 9) Timed out Hope this is okay , if it is , then I'll post one pretty sharpish!  ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Actually sledger,It is clear that it is a dismissal,or so its telling me,so there are 12 ways for the batsman to be out/or dismissed.I hope to god im reading it right hehe
So we need 2 more dismissals,i thought along the lines of a mankad or a runner would find another form of out but it wasnt to be. Do you have mankads in Barbados or is it called something else? ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

Ok in Melbourne here i have played in 2 games where the mankad dismissal has been given out,It is most likely known as something different in SA But its when a bowler comes into bowl,the non striking batsman leaves the crease as the bowler is about to release the ball,then he dont release the ball non striker is on his way half way up the pitch only to turn and see the bowler whipping of the bails at the non strikers end and waving him goodbye.
Normally the bowler will give a warning but in both games i have saw it happen there was no warning and the umpire on appeal had to give it out,it generally (well both times) has had a couple of team mates come to blows with the opposition Im sure you have it under another name,And yes it was named after Mankad the indian as he was the first to dismiss someone with this method. oops sorry mate,no wasnt trod on wicket. ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

Okaaaaaaaaaaay!! That's a form of dismissal , but I've only been thinking about the removal of the striker!
There was an incident here in SA involving Peter Kirsten a number of years ago - he was run out for backing up too eagerly but he HAD been warned !! It still caused a major sensation with the public and in the papers though ! Personally , I had no problems him being out , he was chancing his arm! ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

No not that one buddy,
I have to take the kids to cricket training mate so what i will do is leave you with the answer as you were close as can be to it,well near enough,You will have to put the thinking cap on and post a top line question on cricket. something other posters wont be able to resist. Ok i will post the link to the answer as well as the answer page in case it dont let you go to link,Cheers mate and i will see you if your still on in a few hours. Thanks for the fun Sledger,i have you in my buddy list so i will catch up again,make the question a good one bud, Cheers Dismissal of a batsman For more details on this topic, see Dismissal (cricket). A batsman is allowed to bat as long as he does not get out (also known as being dismissed). There are ten ways of being dismissed, some of which are credited as wickets to the bowler, some of which are not credited to any player. If the batsman is dismissed, another player from the batting team replaces him until ten batsmen are out and the innings is over. DONT GET TO CARRIED AWAY AT THIS BIT SLEDGER WITH THE 10 DISMISSALS,READ ON AND YOULL FIND WHAT THEY ARE GETTING AT. Many modes of dismissal require the wicket to be "put down". The wicket is put down if a bail is dislodged from the top of the stumps or a stump is struck out of the ground either with the ball, or by a fielder with the ball in his hand. Of the following ten modes of dismissal, the first six are common, while the last four are technicalities which rarely occur. Briefly, the ten modes are: Caught — When a fielder catches the ball before the ball bounces and after the batsman has struck it with the bat or it has come into contact with the batsman's glove while it is in contact with the bat handle. The bowler and catcher are both credited. Bowled — When a delivered ball hits the stumps at the batsman's end, and dislodges one or both of the bails. This happens regardless of whether the batsman has edged the ball onto the stumps or not. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. Leg before wicket (LBW) — When a delivered ball misses the bat and strikes the batsman's leg or pad, and the umpire judges that the ball would otherwise have struck the stumps. The laws of cricket stipulate certain exceptions in favour of the batsman; for instance, a batsman should not be given out LBW if the place where the ball bounced on the pitch is to the leg-side of the area strictly between the two wickets. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. Run out — When a fielder, bowler or wicket-keeper removes one or both of the bails with the ball by hitting the stumps whilst a batsman is still running between the two ends. The ball can either hit the stumps directly or the fielder's hand with the ball inside it can be used to dislodge the bails. Such a dismissal is not officially credited to any player, although the identities of the fielder or fielders involved is often noted in brackets on the scorecard. Stumped — When the batsman leaves his crease in playing a delivery, voluntarily or involuntarily, but the ball goes to the wicket-keeper who uses it to remove one or both of the bails through hitting the bail(s) or the wicket before the batsman has remade his ground. The bowler and wicket-keeper are both credited. Hit wicket — When the batsman accidentally knocks the stumps with either the body or the bat, causing one or both of the bails to be dislodged, either in playing a shot or in taking off for the first run. The bowler is credited with the dismissal. Handled the ball — When the batsman deliberately handles the ball without the permission of the fielding team. No player is credited with the dismissal. Hit the ball twice — When the batsman deliberately strikes the ball a second time, except for the sole purpose of guarding his wicket. No player is credited with the dismissal. Obstructing the field — When a batsman deliberately hinders a fielder from attempting to field the ball. No player is credited with the dismissal. Timed out — When a new batsman takes more than three minutes to appear on the field to replace a dismissed batsman. (If the delay is even more protracted, the umpires may cause the match to be forfeited.) No player is credited with the dismissal. Additionally, a batsman may leave the field undismissed. For instance, if he is ill or injured, this is known as retired hurt or retired ill. The batsman is not out; he may return to bat later in the same innings if sufficiently recovered. Also, an unimpaired batsman may retire, in which case he is treated as being dismissed retired out; no player is credited with the dismissal. link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket this was the missing part of dismissals Additionally, a batsman may leave the field undismissed. For instance, if he is ill or injured, this is known as retired hurt or retired ill. The batsman is not out; he may return to bat later in the same innings if sufficiently recovered. Also, an unimpaired batsman may retire, in which case he is treated as being dismissed retired out; no player is credited with the dismissal. I was originally saying they both were the same but on closer reading it not. You can retire injured or ill and comeback to bat later,but and they have no history of this as it says,a batsman can just retire and on doing this he is classified as out,why someone would do that?god knows but the rule is there ,you would most likely say your feeling ill and come back if needed,Maybe in a ODI and a team are chasing say 200 to win and are 1 for 170 in 25 th over and someone wants a teammate to have a hit and get the eye in ,i suppose it could happen but i dont think we will see that in our time.Although the rule is there mate,so we have 12 forms of getting out.. They arent as easy as first thought are they? The mankading situation must just go down as run out or stumped hey?

An important thing to know about retiring is that "Retired Hurt" counts as "Not Out" so it doesn't muck up your average, whereas "Retired Out" definitely does.

I'm working too, but the boss isn't here today! How about this for a start: It's getting towards the end of the innings, and one of the batsmen (Jim) is well in and is having a wonderful time. On the last ball of the over, he hits the ball quite well, but it stops short of the boundary. The batsmen have crossed for the third run, and the fielder realises that three runs will put Jim on strike for the last over of the match, so he kicks the ball over the boundary. How many runs are scored, and who is on strike at the start of the next over?

Absolutely correct. It all hinges on the fielder's act being deliberate. If it had been accidental, you would have been right the first time (normal boundary, batsmen return to where they started). Law 18.6. Overthrow or wilful act of fielder If the boundary results either from an overthrow or from the wilful act of a fielder the runs scored shall be (i) the penalty for a No ball or a Wide, if applicable, together with any penalties under either of Laws 18.5(b) (Deliberate short runs) or 42 (Fair and unfair play) that are applicable before the boundary is scored Law 18.12(a) (Batsman returning to wicket he has left) shall apply as from the instant of the throw or act.
Law 18.12. Batsman returning to wicket he has left (a) If, while the ball is in play, the batsmen have crossed in running, neither shall return to the wicket he has left, except as in (b) below. (b) The batsmen shall return to the wickets they originally left in the cases of, and only in the cases of
That was obviously far too easy! Now it's your turn.

Maiden - An over where no runs that are attributable to the bowler are scored (byes or leg-byes may be scored in this over, though, as these don't count against the bowler) Maiden over : an over in which no runs are scored, and no wides or no balls are bowled. It is therefore impossible to not concede any runs, and at the same time not bowl any maidens. ------------- Kruppel |

Good going Kruppel. Byes and Leg Byes may be conceded in an over, but
it is only no-balls, runs off the bat, or wides which go against the
bowler. It is perceivably possible that after 10 overs, there could have been ten maidens, but the score could be on 50, all from byes or leg-byes. |

i remembering watching the super series, and during one of the one day games,i am not sure who the player was, a run out occured. The question was weather the bails had to lift clear from the wickets. What is the rule?When does a run out occur?when the bail completely lifts from the wickets,or when the bails fall on the ground?Or is it when the bail is lifted marginally? ------------- Kruppel |

The thread was left without a question.... Can we make a ruling if someone comes on and there is no Question asked they can leave a question? Just so the thread dosnt die to quickly. May i now enforce that ruling please? Please can you help to solve an ongoing dispute at my cricket club. Obviously the laws state that a batsman should not be given out lbw if the ball pitches outside the line of leg stump. However, if the batsman is hit on the full toss outside the line of leg stump, and the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps, should he be given out? ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

Due to the fact that the ICC is trying to stop time-wasting in
matches,they have imposed a law that the match referee may ban the
captain for slow overrates. How is it determined that the over rate of the team is slow(how is it calculated),and what is the maximum suspenion that can be imposed on a captain?And do the match referee take into account circumstances like the batting team wasting time,and is the captain allowed to appeal the suspension? ------------- Kruppel |

| If they have crossed for one run, and as long as no fielder has touched the ball, no one is out, and it is one run to the batsman that hit the ball. |

the non-striker is out because the first run had already hapened and they hadn't crossed for the second run. one run is scored.
i hope i'm right ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |

Swerve , if the wicket broken was that at the striker's end then I'd say he was out bowled and no runs are scored. If the wicket broken was the nonstrikers then to effect a run out a fielder will have to place the ball to a stump and lift it out - the batting side would then score a single. ------------- Mental disintegration works for me !! |

Sledger, that's 200% correct! I was only looking for the case where the striker's wicket is broken, and you're absolutely right there, but you're also right for the case where the non-striker's wicket is broken. Congratulations!

OK, this one might take a bit of getting: Before his appearance in the 5th Test against Australia, Paul Collingwood had taken the same number of wickets for the same amount of runs as which other centrally contracted England player? ------------- |

JP, I have the answer. Before the 5th test against Australia, Paul Collingwood had taken 0 wickets for 37 runs. Graham Thorpe possesses 0 wickets for 37 runs. ------------- JH Kallis is the only player in history to have 8000 runs, 200 wickets and 100 catches in BOTH forms of the game. Only Sobers (tests) and Jayasuriya (one dayers) have achieved half that feat. |

And seeing as I know I'm right, I will Play Stump the Guru next. This is a very tough question and I'd like to see if anyone can get it. At one point in time Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting had a difference of 1 run between them in test batting, with almost identical averages. Who can tell me which one was leading by 1 run, how many runs he had and how many matches the pair had played at that time. Just so you know, Kallis is currently leading by 11 runs. ------------- JH Kallis is the only player in history to have 8000 runs, 200 wickets and 100 catches in BOTH forms of the game.

Moongoat, Who did Fried Callamari play for?
I bet he was all at sea against the spinners.They say he was troubled by a good line and a weighted delivery, No doubt he ran rings around them in the end though,he said the bowling was crummy,but it came in waves and he fell for it hook line and sinker,hahaha what a corny joke teller i am,,,,,,good question,this will have us all thinking for a while,Dont post the answer as it is these ones that are the best ones to try and get.If no answer its not because noone is reading or trying its cause we cant yet find the answer hahaha, ------------- Remember when you point the finger at someone,you have 3 pointing back at you !!! |

OK, it was during a South African domestic match at Paarl, in February 1995. Daryll Cullinan hit a six into a frying pan full of calamari. It was about ten minutes before the ball was cool enough to remove the grease. Even then, the bowler was unable to grip the ball, and it was replaced. I don't know who finally ate the ball.

i was going to write that but you got it before me.
i've read about this incident in a book and i knew who the 2 guys were but i didn't remember the location so i was going to read the book and find the location. -JP-, it seems you're not sure of the location but i checked in my book and you're right, it is faisalabad. so your answer is correct. ------------- Regulation without integration leads to suicide. |
