<P> No batsman has been out hitting the ball twice in Test cricket . </P> <P> If the batsman dislodges his own stumps with his body or bat, while in the process of taking a shot or beginning his first run, then he is out . This law does not apply if he avoided a ball thrown back to the wicket by a fielder, or broke the wicket in avoiding a run out . </P> <P> This law also applies if part of the batsman's equipment is dislodged and hits the stumps: Dwayne Bravo hit Kevin Pietersen in the head with a bouncer and his helmet hit the stumps during the 2007 England vs West Indies Test match at Old Trafford; a topspinner from Richie Benaud once knocked off Joe Solomon's cap, and the cap landed on Solomon's stumps . </P> <P> Being out hit - wicket is often seen as a comic method of dismissal . In 1991 Jonathan Agnew and Brian Johnston, commentators on BBC Radio's Test Match Special, got themselves into difficulty while commentating on Ian Botham's dismissal (Botham dislodged his leg bail whilst trying to step over the stumps, having lost his balance in missing a hook shot against Curtly Ambrose), Agnew commenting that he "couldn't quite get his leg over". </P>

How did the batsman get out test your knowledge
