A batsman is out Run out if at any time while the ball is in play no part of his bat or person is grounded behind the popping crease and his wicket is fairly put down by the opposing side. For the goalie's crease in hockey see Goal area. In the Sport of Cricket, the crease is the area demarcated by white In the sport of Cricket the word wicket has several distinct meanings Meanings of wicket Set of stumps Primarily the wicket
A batsman may be dismissed Run out whether or not a run is being attempted, even if the delivery is a no ball (ie not a fair delivery). In the Sport of Cricket a no ball is a penalty against the fielding team usually as a result of an illegal delivery by the bowler. There are a number of exceptions to this:
(1) A batsman is not run out if he or his bat had been grounded behind the popping crease, but he subsequently leaves it to avoid injury, when the wicket is put down.
(2) A batsman is not run out if the ball has not been touched by a fielder (excluding a helmet worn by a fielder), after the bowler has entered his delivery stride, before the wicket is put down. (Therefore, the bowler may not run out the striker instead of bowling to him. )
(3) A batsman is not given out Run out if he can be given out Stumped (or, in the case of a No Ball, could have been so given out were the delivery a fair one). For other uses see Stump (disambiguation Stump is a term used in the Sport of Cricket where has three different meanings
The batsman who is out Run out is the batsman who is closest to the end where the wicket has been put down. The runs completed before a Run out are still scored by the batsman and his team (compare caught where the reverse is true). Caught is a method of dismissing a Batsman in the Sport of Cricket. The bowler does not get credit for the wicket.
As a bowler enters his delivery stride, the non-striking batsman usually 'backs up'. This means he leaves his popping crease and walks towards the other end of the wicket so that it will take him less time for him to reach the other end if he and his batting partner choose to attempt a run.
Sometimes a batsman, whilst backing up, leaves the popping crease before the bowler has actually delivered the ball. Where this has happened, the bowler may attempt to run the non-striking batsman out. Getting a batsman out this way, though legal, is generally considered to be against the spirit of the game as the non-striker usually accidentally leaves the crease. The bowler is meant to warn the batsman to stay in his crease rather than to take his wicket. If the batsman repeats this, despite an earlier warning, a bowler may run him out without a further warning. If he fails, and the batsman gets home, the delivery is called a dead ball. When it has happened in first-class cricket, it has been controversial. First-class cricket refers to the class of Cricket matches of three or more days scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players and officially adjudged first-class by
The most famous incident of this method of dismissal involved the Indian bowler Vinoo Mankad. Mulvantrai Himmatlal Mankad (12 April 1917 - 21 August 1978 better known as Vinoo Mankad, was an Indian Cricketer An effective Batsman and It occurred during India's tour of Australia on 13 December 1947 in the second Test match at Sydney.

Test cricket is the longest form of the Sport of Cricket. It has long been considered the ultimate test of playing ability between cricketing nations The Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG is a sports Stadium in Sydney. Mankad ran out Bill Brown when, in the act of delivering the ball, he held on to it and whipped the bails off with Brown well out of his crease. William "Bill" Alfred Brown OAM (31 July 1912 &ndash 16 March 2008 was an Australian Cricketer who played 22 Tests between 1934 and 1948 This was the second time Mankad had dismissed Brown in this fashion on this tour - he had done it in an earlier match against an Australian XI. On that occasion he had warned Brown once before running him out. The Australian press strongly accused Mankad of being unsportsmanlike, though some Australians, including Don Bradman, the Australian captain at the time, defended Mankad's actions. Sir Donald George Bradman, AC (27 August 1908 – 25 February 2001 often referred to as The Don, was an Australian Cricketer widely Instances of bowlers running batsmen out this way in first class cricket date back to the nineteenth century. But after this incident, if a batsman is given out this way, he is said to have been Mankaded.
Since then the Laws of cricket have changed, so that a bowler may no longer Mankad a batsman once he has entered into his delivery stride. The laws of cricket are a set of rules framed by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC which serve to standardise the format of Cricket matches across the world to ensure However, under Law 42. 15 of the Laws of Cricket it remains possible for a bowler to run out a non-striker who has strayed outside his crease after he has started his run up, but before he has entered his delivery stride. [Appendix D of the 2000 Code defines delivery stride as the stride during which the delivery swing is made; it starts when the bowler's back foot lands for that stride and ends when the front foot lands in the same stride. ]
In indoor cricket Mankading is still permitted. Indoor cricket is a variant of Cricket. The game is most often played between two teams each consisting of eight players in matches featuring two sixteen 8 ball over innings When this happens the batsman is actually given out 'mankad' rather than 'run out'.
