Every dismissal type in the app, and how to record it

Full Match

Tap WKT, then NEXT BALL, and choose from bowled, caught, LBW, run out, stumped, hit wicket, obstructing the field or hit the ball twice. Retired hurt, retired out and timed out are recorded by tapping the batter's name instead.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Arm WKT

    Tap the red WKT button. Add runs too if the batters crossed before the dismissal.

    Confirm who is out

    The striker is assumed; on a run-out you pick which batter went.

    Credit the fielder

    For a catch, stumping or run-out, choose who did it — this feeds their fielding record, separately from the bowling figures.

    Credit the fielder

The eight on-the-ball dismissals

  • Bowled, LBW, Hit Wicket — no fielder involved.
  • Caught — pick the catcher.
  • Stumped — pick the keeper.
  • Run Out — pick which batter is out, whether they crossed, and the one or two fielders involved.
  • Obstructing the Field and Hit the Ball Twice — the rare ones, still here when you need them.

The three that aren't deliveries

Retired hurt, retired out and timed out all happen between balls, so they live behind the batter's name on the scoring screen rather than on the number pad. Tap the batter and pick from there.

Which ones count for the bowler

Bowled, caught, LBW, stumped and hit wicket are credited to the bowler. Run-outs, obstructing, hit the ball twice and all three retirements are not — they go down as wickets for the team but never in a bowling analysis.

Catches, stumpings and run-outs are also tracked as fielding credits for the player who made them, which is why the app asks who was involved.

What are all the ways to get out in cricket?

The common ones are bowled, caught, LBW, run out, stumped and hit wicket. Rarer ones include obstructing the field, hitting the ball twice, timed out, and the two retirements — retired hurt and retired out.

Which dismissals count for the bowler?

Bowled, caught, LBW, stumped and hit wicket. Run outs, obstructing the field, hitting the ball twice and all retirements are wickets for the team but never appear in a bowling analysis.

How do you record a run out in a cricket scoring app?

Choose run out, pick which batter is out, say whether the batters had crossed, and credit the fielder or fielders involved. Gully Crix asks each of these in turn.

What is obstructing the field in cricket?

A rare dismissal where the batter deliberately blocks a fielder attempting a run out or a catch. It is a wicket for the team but not for the bowler.
