Here is list of the worst ways to get out for a batsman that I created myself.Please read it and vote which you think is the worst way.
1.A batsman is run out of a free hit.
2.The batsman drives straight down the ground and the bowler accidentally touches the ball which goes on to hit the non-striker's stumps and he's run out.
3.A batsman is time-out.(If the batsman does not arrive within 3 minutes of his parter's getting out then he is time-out)
4.A batsman hits the ball in the air and the fielder catches it,but he is just on the rope.So he throws it in the air,crosses the ropes,jumpes back in and catches the ball inside the field.
5.The batsman gets out hit wicket-his leg/bat touches the wicket and the bails come off.
6.The batsman collides with his team mate and both fall to the ground,and run out.
7.The batsman edges the ball,slip fielder drops it, but the keeper picks it up before it falls to the ground.
8.A batsman goes to congratulate his team mate for his fifty/hundred not knowing that the ball is still in play only to be run out by the fielder.(Muralitharan got out like this against New Zealand while congratulating Sangakkara).lol!9.A batsman is retired hurt(but not out) for the rest of the match because of the ball hitting him and injuring him.
10.A batsman collapses to the ground while running and gets run out.(I remember Kaif collapsed to the ground out of dehydration against the Aussies)
If you are reading this then please reply and vote any of the ten ways which you think is the worst.What do you think of the list? If u want u can also share any other way that is not on the list.Thanks!

i believe getting run out a free hit is the worst way of getting out.i believe a player must not run a batsmen out when he collapse on the ground while running.its more like colliding with the bowler and getting run out.

by the way u forgot one thing.in one of aussie versus lankan match,symmonds was batting and he hit a ball straight which struck the non-strikers pad and popped out and the fielder caught it.lol

lol...thanks stardust for that dismissal.
All these dismissals look so funny to the audience but its equally frustrating for the batsman.
Yes you are right with the batsman collapsing.But when Kaif collapsed out of dehydration,the Aussies had no hesitation in running him out.This is expected of Aussies anyways.

The worst is obviously the bowler touching the ball and non striker gets out. Other one's are bit strange..lol, the only one i saw from these is hit wicket. And the one you missed is wrong decision by umpire.. that is surely the worst of all, specially some weird LBW decisions.

I have seen most of the dismissals that I have mentioned,many of them recently.Only one I havent seen is Time-Out , but I have heard that this has been happening in T20 cricket nowadays.
I didnt mention wrong decision by umpire because its a fair as sometimes you are out in the most obvious fashion and yet you are not given,so its unpredictable but fair.

you seem to watch cricket a lot then..lol, and i am saying about real weird decisions,not the close one's, like one AB Devilliars faced in recent match, when ball pitched long way outside leg stump, and to get out on a real bad decision is the most unfortunate of all.
