Drummers out
The drummer
can be released in different ways.
• Bowled:
The thrower has managed to destroy the wicket (knock down at least one of the
witnesses) of the drummer. It does not matter if it's the bullet that has
destroyed the wicket or the drummer himself, wanting to protect his wicket.
• Caught: if
one of the hunters (field players) or the pitcher intercepts the ball hit by
the batter, before it hits the ground.
• Stumped:
if the keeper of the wicket (located behind it) destroys the wicket with the
ball, while the batter has crossed the line to play the ball.
• Run out: A
hunter (field player) destroys the wicket with the ball while the two drummers complete
their runs. This is the closest to the destroyed box that is declared out of
play (except of course if it is inside the line).
• Leg before wicket or LBW: if the drummer
obstructs the destruction of the wicket with his body (not necessarily the legs).
It does not matter whether the obstruction is voluntary or not. It is also
necessary that the referee decides that, without this obstruction, the ball
would have destroyed the wicket. Above are the most frequent cases of drummer
output. Nevertheless, other rarer cases may occur.
• Hit
wicket: The drummer or his bat destroys his own wicket.
• Hit the
ball twice: The drummer hit the ball twice. The second shot must be a real shot
- the batter has the right to stop the ball twice by interposing his bat without
actually hitting it.
• Handled
the ball: The drummer touched the ball with his hand. He has the right to do it
only with the approval of the hunters, otherwise it is declared out of play. In
the history of test cricket, this has happened only six times.
