Question

State whether True or False:

A batsman is not out if he willingly obstructs the opposition by word or action.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

• In cricket, a batsman who willingly obstructs the opposition by word or action is out for obstructing the field.
• This is one of the eleven ways a batsman can be dismissed.
• Therefore, the batsman is out, not not out, so the statement is false.
