What's the worst way to be dismissed?

[wellAlbidarned]

Was thinking more when you somehow manage to help it on it's way to the keeper despite throwing the kitchen sink at it.

This is glove, but Wagner's got the idea.

Am I in the book now?

How 'bout now?

I managed to get stumped off a wide, against a seam bowler, in the first over of the innings.

I never opened again.

Being given out caught behind when the **** at first slip clicked his fingers isn't the best.

[Agent Nationaux]

When your furniture gets demolished. Nothing more embarrassing.

I seem to have inadvertently resurrected this thread. Oh well, when in Rome...

Run out without facing a ball. Off the first ball of the game. Other guy's fault.
Yes! No! ****. Sorry.

I remember in 1974 at Edgbaston the late Indian batsman Ashok Mankad battled it out for nearly two hours for 40 odd on a greenish pitch where most of the Indian batsman struggled - then his cap fell off and dislodged a bail.

[Tangles]

Mankad for a diamond first over of a match. I was livid and complaining at the ump that he didn't know the law didn't help. Apparently the guy tried it at least once per match but my team mates didn't tell me. I was pissed because playing in Oz growing up you give a guy a verbal warning 1st for backing up to far.

The bowler in question was a Packistani ex- pat ftr.

Never understood the big deal with mankads. Should a batsman get a warning before getting stumped too?

Yeah, this. Just stay in yer crease!

Pulling a long-hop to the man on the fence my least favourite.

Middle Stump shattered be a bowler. Makes me feel like an a**.

In terms of relatively common dismissals and not crazy ****, it just doesn't feel right imo when you get out from an inside or bottom edge. Got out caught behind off a bottom edge cutting, and also bowled chopped on this season, both against the same quick bowler. Somehow it just doesn't feel out- you expect the ball to go down to fine leg for 4/fall short of the 'keeper, and you don't feel "beaten" like you do on the outside edge.

I think Mohammad Hafeez will have one to add to the list having just been given out Obstructing the Field in the one dayer against South Africa!

[GotSpin]

Been out plenty of ways that are stupid and frustrating - Diamond ducks and getting out to nuffy bowling. But I always hated going for a forward defensive shot against a pace bowler, get my front foot nice and forward only to see the ball seam away from me and take away my off stump.
