Thank you for all your comments regarding me adding words such as Handling in the options. The change has now been made :)

You're not out when you retire. If you were, it would affect your batting average. It comes up as a not out, retired.

Retired out is when you retire with telling the umpire so you're actually out. You cannot come back in.

Retired out is a thing in the rules - and it should be included.

Basically you retire without permission from the umpires (who only give permission for injury) and the opposing captain. It's happened in international cricket.

It is semi-common for unofficial warm-up games to have lots of retired not-outs, but that's because the opposition captain allows it.

Not sure I agree on retired. The other nine are all methods whereby the other team get you out, or force you into making a mistake that gets you out. Retired is something you do voluntarily. It shouldn’t be included IMO.

There is a difference between retired hurt and retired out.

Law 25 clearly states this difference

Good quiz. Could you add the statistics of the percentage of people that have gotten out by each method at test level please.

I'll start: Timed out - 0%. Pretty sure "retired out" is a zero, and don't think there's been a hit the ball twice either ;-).

Two Sri Lankans were retired out in the same test, but they're the only two. cricinfo has a list of unusual dismissals.

Can only remember Graham Gooch being out for handling the ball, but have a feeling there were one or two other instances.

handled the ball needs to be there - it is different from obstructing the field (which comes up when you type handled). Also "hit" shouldn't really bring up hit the ball twice (when I was typing it in for hit wicket).

Don't think retired out should *really* be there. Unless the laws have changed recently, it's not one of the 10 ways of getting out

Not anymore, it isn't. They made 'handling the ball' and 'obstructing the field' part of the same law.

As an American, this quiz was mainly me taking what little I know about cricket and trying to guess what they call things. Only got 4/10, but could have guessed 2 or 3 more if I could have figured out the proper terms.

Oh dear, thought I was into cricket, yet forgot to say "Run out". dear me, better finish my coffee. But also didn't get "hit wicket", even having said "Hit stumps" - should have persevered with finding the precise words I guess.

Blind guessing got me 2 of 10. But good grief, I think I know more about 13th century Baltic mail delivery systems than cricket. Had a friend explain it to me once, but my "dumb" button just seems to get stuck in the "ON" position.

I do love watching highlights of some of the spectacular catches, though.

I actually own the wicket that Ian Botham knocked the bails from during one of the most unusual dismissals in history. Worth a listen to the commentary. Beefy just couldn't get his leg over. It's all signed by Aggers, Beefy and Johnners.

Cricket is simple. Basically, there's three grabbers, three taggers, five twig runners, and a player at Whackbat. Center tagger lights a pine cone and chucks it over the basket and the whack-batter tries to hit the cedar stick off the cross rock. Then the twig runners dash back and forth until the pine cone burns out and the umpire calls 'hotbox'. Finally, you count up however many score-downs it adds up to and divide that by nine.
