Unusual Dismissals

Cricket scorer pathologically obsessed with obscure cricket dismissals.

[Unusual Dismissals @UD10modes]

Using CricketArchive, I have compiled lists of "unusual dismissals" (Handled the ball, Obstructing the field, Hit the ball twice & Timed out) in all formats. I have tried to find free links to all of the scorecards. Errors & omissions gratefully accepted.

50 years ago, first scorecard for a women's match @HomeOfCricket printed them in a room under the old Grandstand & periodically updated throughout day with disclaimer ' does not necessarily include fall of last wicket". At end of day, a completed match card was printed.

We have uploaded a scan of a large hand-written book of statistics for 1891-1905 for the Reading Biscuit Factory teams.

This is the first of three. The other two are very large and a real challenge to scan so feedback on this one would be useful.

Four handled-the-ball dismissals in one clip!

Wait for the last one - it’s pure nonsense and absolutely hilarious.😆
