MODE OF DISMISSALS IN CRICKET!!
Friends,
YES. we do.
Well the answer is simple.It has fascinated the people like no other sport and especially the 1983 World Cup win has stirred the interest even more in the game of Cricket.But there may be different opinions like people are forgetting other sports and are not giving sufficient recognition to other sports and sports persons.It may be true to some extent,but in this post I would like to discuss primarily on the game of Cricket.
For all the Cricket Fans,
How many ways can a Batsman be out in Cricket????
In Cricket, a batsman can get out in 10 different ways.
They are:
Bowled,Stumped,Catch out,Run out,LBW,Hit wicket are general modes of dismissals that we regularly see in Cricket.But there are few dismissals we have rarely seen or sometimes never.
HIT THE BALL TWICE:
If the Batsman "hits the ball twice" he is out.The first is considered to be if the ball has struck the batsman or his bat while the second hit has to be an intentional and separate contact with the ball(again not necessarily using the bat).The batsman may hit the ball a second time with his bat or body(not a hand not in contact with the bat) if it is performed to stop the ball from hitting the stumps.It is therefore possible to be out hitting the ball twice,while not actually hitting the ball with the bat at all.
No batsman has been out hitting the ball twice in International Cricket so far.
TIMED OUT:
According to the Laws of Cricket,an incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to take the next ball within THREE MINUTES of the fall of the previous wicket.If this is not followed the incoming batsman will be given out,timed out,on appeal.
No batsman has been timed out in International Cricket so far.
Note:However in 20-20 Cricket the incoming batsman should be on the field within 90 seconds.
OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD:
If the batsman, by action or by words,obstructs a fielder, then he is out.The rule intends to prevent batsman from interfering with a fielder by,for instance,pushing him.Also, a player can be given out if they deliberately hit a ball being thrown back to the wicket keeper while being out of their crease.
Players who had been dismissed in this fashion are:

Len Hutton(Eng vs SA in 1951)

Rameez Raja(Pak vs Aus in 1987)
Mohinder Amarnath(Ind vs SL in 1989)
Inzamam-ul-Haq(Pak vs Ind in 2006)
Anwar Ali(Pak vs SA in 2013)
Mohammed Hafeez(Pak vs SA in 2013)
HANDLING THE BALL:
If the batsman touches the ball with his hand not in contact with the bat for any purpose,other than with the approval of the fielder(s),to return the ball to the bowler,he is out on appeal.It is considered etiquette for the fielding team not to appeal if the fielding of the ball does not affect the play of the game,although there are occasions when this etiquette has been ignored.
Players who had been dismissed in this fashion are:
