33.5 CAUGHT TO TAKE PRECEDENCE
In Law 32, Bowled was given precedence over all other forms of dismissal
Law 33.5 gives Caught precedence over all forms of dismissal except Bowled
For example, the striker may hit the ball and a fielder deflects it on to the non-striker's wicket and runs him out
If, however, the ball is immediately caught without having touched the ground since hitting the striker's bat, although the wicket was put down before the catch was taken, the striker will be out Caught
