Drummers out
The drummer
can be released in different ways.
Bowled : The thrower has managed to destroy the
wicket (to knock down at least one of the witnesses) of the drummer. It does
not matter if it's the bullet that has destroyed the wicket or the drummer
himself, wanting to protect his wicket.
Caught : if one of the hunters (field players) or
the pitcher intercepts the ball hit by the batter, before it hits the ground.
Stumped : if the keeper of the wicket (located behind
it) destroys the wicket with the ball, while the batter has crossed the line to
play the ball.
Run out : A hunter (field player) destroys the wicket
with the ball while both drummers complete their runs . This is the closest to
the destroyed box that is declared out of play (except of course if it is
inside the line).
Leg before
wicket or LBW : if the drummer obstructs
the destruction of the wicket with his body (not necessarily the legs). It does
not matter whether the obstruction is voluntary or not. It is also necessary
that the referee decides that, without this obstruction, the ball would have
destroyed the wicket.
Above are
the most frequent cases of drummer output. Nevertheless, other rarer cases may
occur.
