Answer 1

No, as KooKee said, there are only 10 ways to get out and these are not two of them.

Answer 2

no way, you can't be out for those two reasons.

Answer 3

1.Yes

2.Not always

Answer 4

not out but disqualified to play

Answer 5

No, you can't be given out for that type of behaviour. However, you can be severely censured, and possibly banned from playing games in the future.

Recent examples have been:

Brendon McCullum: fined 20% of match fee for showing dissent at umpires decision(New Zealand v Sri Lanka at St George's, April 12, 2007);

Fidel Edwards:Fined 15% of match fee for obscene and offensive language ( England  Indies at Chester-le-Street, June 15 to 19, 2007);

Harbhajan Singh: banned for 3 Tests for using racially offensive language, later overturned and given fine of 50% of match fee to abuse and insult (cleared of racism) (Australia v India at Sydney, January 2-6, 2008)

Answer 6

No

Answer 7

NO !

1. Showing dissent to an umpire's decision- Well aren't you already out, once you have shown dissent towards the umpires decision ???. What else could the batsmen be angry at the umpire for !!

2. Offensive behaviour on the field- Nope, you can't be out

In both cases, the player would recieve a big fine from the ICC and maybe they could be even suspended for a game or two. There are only 10 ways to get out in cricket !

The 10 ways to get out in the middle are:

  The 5 well-known ones:

  1) Caught

  2) Bowled

  3) Leg Before Wicket

  4) Stumped

  5) Run Out

  And the 5 less-frequent ones. Generalized summaries only.

  6) Hit Wicket:  Striker breaks the wicket while batting

  7) Handled The Ball:  without consent of the opposite side.

  8) Obstructing The Field: - Duh.

  9) Hit The Ball Twice: unless he is protecting his wicket.

10) Timed Out: Next batsman due takes longer than

     two minutes to appear on the field.

Answer 8

No.  However, action can be taken against him by the Match Referee.

Answer 9

YOu can't be out but after the match they'll be a case and hearing (depending if the umpire or the opponent file the case).  Suspension or a fine is a probable punishment.

Answer 10

U can get kiked off the field, and possible banned for 1-4 or even  more games. U will get finned by match referee for sure. Possibly 10-50% of ur match fee. In cricket I never hard someone getting band for cursing on the field, yet i hard a lot of cricketer curse (in both English or other language.)
