"There are ten ways a batsman can be out - five are very common and five very rare. To bowl someone out you have to be a bowler, a bowler would have a certain run up then do some particular bowling actions. They would try bowl to the stumps and knock the wickets off. The ball may touch the leg pretection and if the ball is in line with the wickets it will be called out Leg Behind Wicket or known as lbw (in lowercase letters) If the ball touches the bat and/or glove and a outside fielder grabs the ball without the ball touching the ground, that is called a catch.
More often than not a batsman will be, given leg before wicket (lbw), run out or stumped.
The five other ways to lose your wicket range from the uncommon to the almost unseen.
The uncommon methods, but not unheard of, are hit wicket - when a batsman removes his or her own bails, usually accidentally - and handled the ball - when he handles the ball without permission from the fielding side.
The almost unseen are hit the ball twice (also known as 'double hit') - as it suggests, deliberately hitting the ball twice; obstructing the field - when the batsman prevents fielders from executing a run out or a catch; and timed out, which is when a new batsman takes too long to appear on the field."
