In cricket,a dismissal occurs when a batter's innings is brought to an end by the opposing team. Other terms used are the batter being out,the batting side losing a wicket,and the fielding side taking a wicket. The ball becomes dead,and the dismissed batter must leave the field of play for the rest of their team's innings,to be replaced by a team-mate. A team's innings ends if ten of the eleven team members are dismissed. Players bat in pairs so,when only one batter remains who can be not out,it is not possible for the team to bat any longer. This is known as dismissing or bowling out the batting team,who are said to be all out.
