The first ten are right (there are only ten ways to get out). Number 11 is > 1. Bowled.
> 2. LBW.
> 3. Caught.
> 4. Run out.
> 5. Stumped.
> 6. Hit wicket.
> 7. Handling the ball.
> 8. Hit the ball Twice.

rubbish. Yes, you can leave the field at any time, but this goes in the
scorebook as "retired" (not "retired hurt") and is counted as a NOT OUT score.
How can a NOT OUT score be declared as a "way a batsman can be declared out"??
Deary me, it would be nice if we didn't keep getting twenty versions of the one
answer when all you have to do is look in the only definative source: the
laws of cricket. Every decent cricket book (eg Wisden) has the laws of
cricket at the back. Read them.
"The 10 ways of dismissing a batsman" will have to go in the r.s.c FAQ list.
This is about the fourth time this year this question has been asked (with
about twenty incorrect followups).
