Favourite Type of Dismissal



In all honesty though could be solved rather easily. Make it so that the non-striker leaving the crease before the ball leaves the bowler’s hand makes it a run short. Take away the batter’s incentive to cheat, and the problem goes away.
Bit of a tricky one for the umpire to keep an eye out for that whilst watching for no balls and what's going on at the batsman's end
 
The batsman being fooled into playing the wrong shot .... w.g. fencing outside off stump to a rising ball, the batsman knows he shouldn't do it but he just can't help himself.
 
Two quick away swingers, followed up a slower, fuller inswinger which fools the batsmen into driving as the ball goes through the gate into the stumps. It still works after 35 years.
 
A stunning catch on the boundary like Matt Milnes/Jordan Cox’s yesterday, especially as Cox was in the air way beyond the boundary when he flicked it back. The sharp contrast between what might have been (six runs) and the batsman’s dismissal always strikes me as dramatic.
