Favourite Type of Dismissal

[Steak Pie]

Stump cartwheeling backwards, obviously. Preferably with the batsman holding his form a la the Michael Clarke dismissal above.

Love a good diving catch at point.

Or c. Collingwood

 

[I am Boss]

A plum lbw but one where the delivery is so good that the batsman has absolutely no idea what to do and by time he's decided he's already gone.

Or a catch at silly point

 

[Greavsie]

Leg side stumping….Jack Russell v Dene Jones

Correct answer

That one from Hayden was absolutely unreal. I think sky did a piece on it that suggested his reaction time was something like 0.7 seconds!!

 

[Eggman]

Virat Kohli nicking Jimmy Anderson to the keeper, first ball.

and then standing there is disbelief that someone has had the audacity to get him out ....... especially when the stumps are all owa !

As a former bowler, either middle stump out of the ground or off stump uprooted with the bail still on leg and middle

 

[Dan..Dan..Dan..Dan]

I'd love to see a 'Timed Out'.

 

[McGregor]

Love a Broad LBW

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

This is the correct answer.

On a similar note, I love being in the ground when a batsman gets out bowled, the hush as the bowler delivers the ball, the click as the bails are removed and the split second silence while the crowd processes it before going mental.

Absolutely this, the right arm over, vicious, reverse-swinging inswinger, at pace, which sends the stumps absolutely everywhere is correct and especially so if you're at the ground.

Also love a slower ball that completey fucks the batsman to the same effect - see here Hamison's amazing one to defeat the same batsman, in the same series.

Still my favourite ever delivery

Although I do like a one that just clips the top of off, after a batsman has played a great defensive shot on the line where the ball should have been.

Love Harmison's slower ball to Clarke in that series too. Always enjoy it when a batsman has no idea what's happened, similar to when Thorpe ducked Courtney Walsh's slower ball yorker.

I was there for the Harmison slower ball and it was what my description earlier on of being in the ground is based on.

Ultimately, that ball won us the game.

I will go for timed out as all the other options have been taken.

Love a good timed out me.

 

[SAFC11]

Playing on, mainly the ones where they trickle back to the stumps and one bail just slowly rocks off. Batsmen looking back hoping it stays on

 

[Binxy]

Can't beat a good LBW, the anticipation of the finger going up.

 

[Super Ted]

The no look back LBW or a short ball gloved to the slips.

 

[Voice of fair play]

For me has to be a spinner totally confusing the batsman, remember watching that Warne ball to Gatting live as a 16 year old and Gatting face was a picture!

 

[The Red Telephone]

An lbw that is so plumb that the batsman is half way to the pavilion before the umpire has raised his finger - in fact a bit like when Ottis got Mr. Modest at Lords in the 2007 Friends Provident Final.

Aye remember that, at the game, first time I have seen a batsman walk for lbw.

At least it seemed that way

 

[The Hesford Diet]

Brett Lee roughing up Andrew Strauss with bouncers and then clean bowling him with the yorker was a work of cricketing art.

I’ve always enjoyed a good mankading me… some asshat batsman getting what’s due. Especially when it’s “controversial”. Nothing better than a hypocritical dildo-head complaining that him being caught cheating is the bowlers fault. Screw them. In fact, I would propose that if a batsman gets mankaded in the first innings, he’s out in the second innings as well.
