is it possible to run out both batsmen?

just watching a mix up in the odi today between symonds and hussey...symods was run out in the end but if they'd thrown it to the other end after, they could have got the bales off before the other batsmen made it in...

I think no.... reason being the ball goes dead if the umpires finger goes up, and given the time needed to get the ball down the other end, then the umpire wouldve plenty of time to do it.

But it can be possible to break both sets of stumps in the course of a run-out.

DMC

Law 38 is vague....

Law 38.2(c) (a batsman is not out Run out if) the ball, having been played by the striker, or having come off his person, directly strikes a helmet worn by a fielder and without further contact with him or any other fielder rebounds directly on to the wicket. However, the ball remains in play and either batsman may be Run out in the circumstances of 1 above if a wicket is subsequently put down.

cheers....it was a very strange runout as one of the batsmen just stood out of his crease while the other dashed for it. Both ended up at the same crease and it took a while to figure out who was legitimatly out....

cgf

Ye can only get one at a time - the ball goes dead when a batsman is out.

The batsman run out is the one whose wicket is broken - if ye don't leave your ground it's the other guy.

I will ban you from this forum if I see any more crap like this.

If anyone wants to start a useful links thread I'll sticky it etc.

I would start one, but I'm sure you guys can do a better job of it. My cricket knowledge is only a few years old so I'm still learning.

"How's That?" or HOWZAT!!! is what the bowlers and fielders shout at the umpires to enquire whether the batsman is out or not....
