Preliminary Comment for Sections 7 and 8
These two sections cover Laws 30 to 39 dealing with the 10 ways in which a batsman may be
dismissed.
Before beginning detailed study of these Laws the student should remember the principle
stated in Law 27. Although he may be out under one of the Laws, a batsman is not to be
given out by an umpire unless there is an appeal from the fielding side.
This fact will not be stated separately for each method of dismissal but must be
remembered. It is fundamental to the whole structure of dismissals. Additionally, it should be
noted that the credit for a dismissal is not always given to the bowler.
