Owzat !!

(or the 10 ways of returning to the pavilion)

There are 10 different ways of being given Out in the Laws of Cricket. On this page you can see the five most likely ways of being sent back to the pavilion.

Let me see the other 5 ways of being Out.

Home

Bowled

When the ball knocks down the wicket (even if it deflected off your pads, bat or body) you are out, bowled. The 'death rattle' as it is sometimes called, is a terrible sound for any batsman but brings a big smile to the bowler's face.
Caught
 Having hit the ball, if a fielder can catch the ball before it touches the ground, then you are out caught. Perhaps one of the most unlucky dismissals was Trescothick in the 3rd Test England vs Sri Lanka March 2001. Marcus hit the ball hard out of the middle of the bat only to see the ball get caught in the loose fitting shirt of the close fielder who then claimed the catch.
Leg Before Wicket
(lbw)

The most difficult decisions by umpires always centre on the lbw rule. You are Out lbw if you intercept a ball that would have gone on to hit the wicket providing

(a) the ball hasn't first hit the bat or hand holding the bat
(b) the ball did not pitch outside the leg stump
(c) the point of impact is in a straight line between wicket and wicket.

The rule above is when you play a shot - if you don't play a shot then (c) above is ignored.
Stumped
Similiar to Run Out, if you are out of the batting crease when the wicket is broken, then you are out Stumped.
Run out
If you try for a run and you are outside the batting crease when the wicket is hit (or broken) by the ball, then you are Run Out. (The batting crease is the white line about 4 feet in front of the stumps),
