| Timed out  Timed out is a very rare form of dismissal that occurs while play is in progress when, following a dismissal, a new batter takes longer than the time permitted to arrive at the wicket An incoming batter is allowed three minutes from the time of the previous batter's dismissal to be in a position to take his guard or, if he is at the non-striker's end, for the striker to receive the next ball Reasons for a delay can, of course, be serious. The batter may have been taken ill, or tripped on the dressing room steps and hurt himself. But sometimes they can be funny - at least to everyone else - such as occasions when the incoming batter has found himself trapped in the pavilion toilets by a faulty lock! |
