10 Weirdest dismissals in Test cricket history

10 Weirdest dismissals in Test cricket history: In cricket there are many ways in which a batsman gets dismissed. But there is a stark difference between usual ways of getting out and the unusual ones. If a batsman gets out bowled, caught, leg before wicket (LBW), stumped, run-out and hit wicket then there is nothing new in that. But if someone gets out by the way of hitting the ball twice, handling the ball, obstructing the field and timed out, then it hogs a tremendous amount of limelight and makes for something interesting.

Something out of the blue and freakish is always welcomed and loved by the cricket fans as well as no one likes monotonous things happening again and again and such weird dismissals adds up spice in the game.

Today, we have made a compilation of a unique list the 10 Weirdest dismissals in Test cricket history:

1. Bill Brown (Australia):

In 1947 during Australia v Indian Sydney Test, a very unique and complex form of run-out happened. We are talking about the Australian cricketer Bill Brown who was found guilty of backing up too far at the non-striker’s end and as a result, Vinod Mankad ran him out. The run-out had hogged the headlines of many Australian national dailies. Since this incident, a batsman who gets dismissed in this fashion is said to be “Mankaded”. It is worth mentioning that Mankad had earlier warned Bill not to back up that far at the non-striker’s end in some earlier tour game and had threatened him if he did that again then he would not hesitate from dislodging the bails which he eventually did on this occasion.
