It\u2019s a list that can get you top marks in pub trivia: the 10 ways to get out in cricket. They are, for the record: caught, bowled, LBW, stumped, hit wicket, run out, timed out, handled the ball, obstructing the field, and hitting the ball twice.<\/p>\n

We see some all the time, and others very rarely. Like former Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews getting timed out against Bangladesh at the Cricket World Cup overnight, which was the first time that mode of dismissal had ever been seen in international cricket.<\/p>\n

Handled ball and obstructing the field are not common, either, and cricketers have managed to lose their wickets via the regular methods in the weirdest \u2013 and most controversial \u2013 ways.<\/p>\n

Mathews\u2019 dismissal may have even trumped the controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow in the recent Ashes series. Here is a selection of unusual dismissals over the years.<\/p>\n

BAIRSTOW BAMBOOZLED, 2023<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The most talked-about moment of this year\u2019s Ashes series in the UK came when Alex Carey stumped Jonny Bairstow. But it wasn\u2019t just any old stumping. Bairstow ducked under a Cam Green bouncer and began walking out of his crease.<\/p>\n

Carey, knowing the ball was still live, under-armed the ball at the stumps. Bairstow was stunned as he thought it was the end of the over, but the Australians celebrated knowing they had caught him napping.<\/p>\n

The moment triggered a ferocious response from the Lord\u2019s crowd and widespread debate over whether it was in the \u201cspirit\u201d of the game.<\/p>\n

MANKAD! <\/strong><\/p>\n

India\u2019s Deepti Sharma caused a major stir in a women\u2019s one-day international last year when she \u2018mankaded\u2019 England\u2019s Charlie Dean. A Mankad, named after Indian cricketer Vinoo Mankad, is where a bowler knocks the bails off at the non-striker\u2019s end with the batter out of their crease. Sharma\u2019s act handed India victory and a 3-0 series win.<\/p>\n

GOOCH\u2019S GRAB, 1993<\/h3>\n

England skipper Graham Gooch had made his way to 133 in the first Test of the 1993 Ashes series before a moment of madness ended his innings. With England 3-223, in pursuit of a target of 512, Gooch defended a short delivery from Australian paceman Merv Hughes.<\/p>\n

Thinking the ball might bounce onto his stumps, Gooch swatted the ball away with his right hand. Australian wicketkeeper Ian Healy immediately appealed, along with Hughes, before umpire Dickie Bird put the finger up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat handled ball cost us the game,\u201d Gooch later recalled. \u201cI remember the reaction from Mark Waugh, my old Essex colleague, at second slip: \u2018Hey, you can\u2019t do that, mate. You gotta go.\u2019 Dickie Bird agreed.\u201d<\/p>\n

WAUGH HANDLING THE BALL, 2001<\/h3>\n

It was a similar story in 1998 for Steve Waugh. With Harbhajan Singh coming over the wicket, Waugh tried to sweep the Indian off-spinner, but the ball cannoned into his pad and ballooned up in the air. Waugh, as Ian Chappell pointed out in commentary, was more worried about being adjudged lbw when he instinctively hit the ball away with his glove.<\/p>\n

Seconds earlier, non-striker Matt Hayden had yelled \u201cwatch out\u201d.<\/p>\n

Waugh was furious with himself. He was the sixth player in 1537 Tests to be out handled ball.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was looking at the umpire for the leg-before-wicket appeal when Matt shouted,\u201d Waugh said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI instinctively pushed the ball away and straight away I realised what I\u2019d done.\u201d<\/p>\n

HILDITCH HANDLE, 1979<\/h3>\n

Former Australian Test cricketer turned selector Andrew Hilditch is the only batsman to have been dismissed for handling the ball at the non-striker\u2019s end, courtesy of a controversial moment in a Test against Pakistan in Perth in 1979.<\/p>\n

In what has been reported as a measure of revenge for Australia \u2018mankading\u2019 Sikander Bakht earlier in the game, Pakistan appealed when Hilditch picked up a loose throw at the non-striker\u2019s end to help the bowler. It is a common-enough sight in modern cricket.<\/p>\n

There was no threat of a run-out, but the umpires were obliged to give the Australian out.<\/p>\n

Pakistan all-rounder Asif Iqbal later said: \u201cThere was no need for us to stoop so low as to appeal against Hilditch for handling the ball as a non-striker.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018RIDICULOUS\u2019 RETIREMENTS, 2001<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Sanatah Jayasuriya retired out in 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

Was Bangladesh\u2019s appeal for Matthews to be given out an act of slow-cooked revenge for an insulting incident between the two nations in Colombo in 2001?<\/p>\n

In the first and only recorded instances of \u2018retired out\u2019 in Test cricket, Sri Lanka\u2019s Marvan Atapattu (201) and Mahela Jayawardene (150) both voluntarily walked off to give other people a bat, like kids do in junior cricket.<\/p>\n

Sri Lanka had plenty of scope to do so, as they piled on 5-555 in reply to Bangladesh\u2019s first-innings total of 90.<\/p>\n

A local newspaper said: \u201cIn their 124-year-old history, Test cricket has never been ridiculed as it was yesterday, when two Sri Lankan batsmen retired themselves out without being dismissed.<\/p>\n

DOUBLE RUN OUT, 2022<\/h3>\n

One of the most bizarre dismissals came in a T20 game between Dhaka and Khulna in the Bangladesh Premier League in 2022, when Andre Russell was run out in freaky circumstances.<\/p>\n

A fielder\u2019s throw from short-third man hit the stumps at the strikers\u2019 end, and then deflected to the non-striker\u2019s end stumps as well.<\/p>\n

The runner was safe for the first hit but Russell was caught short at the other end, and the ball was deemed to be still live.<\/p>\n

STOKES GETS HANDSY, 2015<\/h3>\n

In a one-day international between England and Australia in 2015, Ben Stokes drove a ball back to Mitchell Starc.<\/p>\n

The Australian left-armer quickly pinged the ball at the stumps as Stokes came down the pitch. Stokes turned to get back in his crease but as this happened, the ball crashed into the England batter\u2019s glove.<\/p>\n

The ball looked like it was going to hit the stumps with Stokes out of his ground. The Australians appealed as Stokes claimed he was merely trying to protect himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t put my hand there wilfully,\u201d Stokes said. \u201cIt was purely out of human reaction to protect myself. But the decision was made, there\u2019s nothing I can do but it wasn\u2019t wilful whatsoever.\u201d<\/p>\n

KIWI BAT LUCK, 2022<\/h3>\n

Sometimes rotten luck plays a big part in getting out in cricket, and New Zealand batsman Henry Nicholls could use that excuse when he was caught against England in a Test in 2022.<\/p>\n

Facing Jack Leach, Nicholls thumped the ball back down the wicket, before it deflected off the bat of his partner Daryl Mitchell at the non-striker\u2019s end and ballooned up to be caught at mid-on.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a stupid game that we play. It was unbelievable, I didn\u2019t even know if that was allowed, I\u2019ve never seen anything like it,\u201d Leach said.<\/p>\n

BOTHAM LEG OVER, 1991<\/h3>\n

There have been all manner of hit-wicket dismissals over the decades but perhaps none are as memorable as when Ian Botham was dismissed in a Test against the West Indies at the Oval in 1991.<\/p>\n

Trying to hook a bouncer from Curtly Ambrose, Botham lost his balance and fell over his stumps, knocking the bails off with his leg.<\/p>\n

The BBC commentary became famous, when Jonathan Agnew said \u201che couldn\u2019t quite get his leg over\u201d and legendary commentator Brian Johnson broke down in a fit of laughter, and couldn\u2019t carry on.<\/p>\n

PIETERSEN HELMET HIT, 2007<\/h3>\n

Another star England player suffered a bizarre hit-wicket dismissal in 2007 against the West Indies, when Kevin Pietersen had his helmet knocked off by a short ball from Dwayne Bravo.<\/p>\n

The helmet flew back and hit the stumps, leaving Pietersen with a sore head and a long walk back to the pavilion.<\/p>\n
