Task 1

 Define the term Dismissal.

what is a dismissal?

In cricket, a dismissal occurs when a batsman's period of batting is brought to an end by the opposing team. It is also known as the batsman being out, the batting side losing a wicket, and the fielding side taking a wicket. The dismissed batsman must leave the field of play permanently for the rest of their team's innings, and is replaced by a teammate. 

 

Task 2

List and explain 5 methods of dismissal

 

 

  1. Caught

    A batsman is out caught if he hits the ball in the air and a member of the fielding team catches it before it touches the ground. This is the most common way of getting out in cricket. Most catches are taken using the orthodox cup and reverse cup methods.

    Catches range in difficulty from the simplest pouch behind the wicket to stunning, one-handed, leaping efforts.

  2. Bowled

    If the bowler's delivery of the ball sends it traveling into the batsman's stumps AND at least one bail is dislodged, the batsman is out. Basically, a batsman is out bowled if he fails to protect his stumps from the bowler.

    It's important to note that one or both of the bails have to come off the stumps for a batsman to be dismissed bowled. There have been occasions when the ball has either hit the stumps or passed between them without the bails being dislodged. At other times, the bails have fallen at the slightest touch.

  3. Leg Before Wicket (LBW)

    If the ball strikes the batsman and would have gone on to hit the stumps had its path not been interrupted by their body, the umpire can give the batsman out leg before wicket (LBW) if the fielding team appeals. It's a little more complicated than that, though. Here are the conditions that need to be upheld if the batsman is playing a shot:

         -The ball must pitch (bounce) outside off stump or in line with the stumps

         -The ball must strike the batsman in line with the stumps

         -The ball must not pitch outside leg stump

         If the batsman offers no shot:

          -The ball must not pitch outside leg stump

        The ball must not pitch outside leg stump In any case, the ball must have hit the batsman's body before touching either his bat or                 glove. With so many factors to consider, it's understandable that umpires will sometimes get it wrong.

 

    4.   Run Out

     If a batsman attempts a run but fails to make his ground before the bails are dislodged by the fielding team, he is run out.

     Usually, run outs involve the wicketkeeper or bowler receiving the ball from a fielding teammate and whipping the bails off with the ball       in their hands. Sometimes, though, the fielder manages a direct hit on the stumps—which is often spectacular.

   5. Stumped

      When the batsman attempts a shot, he may step outside of his batting crease. If he misses the ball, and the wicketkeeper removes            the bails before the batsman returns to his ground, the batsman is out stumped.

      Stumpings usually occur during off-spin bowling, as the wicketkeeper needs to be standing up to the stumps in order to effect a                  stumping. On rare occasions, however, the 'keeper manages to stump a batsman out off a fast bowler.
