Explain the term Timed out in cricket.

Explain the following term in cricket:

Timed-out

Answer 1

Timed out is a method of dismissal in the sport of cricket. In one day cricket, it occurs when an incoming batsman takes longer than two minutes, from the time the previous wicket falls, to appear on the field.

In Twenty20 cricket, to keep the game speeded up, the incoming batsman must be ready to take guard (or for his partner to receive the next ball) within 90 seconds of the previous wicket falling, or he shall be timed out.
