Cullinan makes history

27 January 1999
Darryl Cullinan has become only the second player to be given out
'Handled the Ball' in Limited Overs International (LOI) cricket. The
only previous batsman to be dismissed in this fashion was India's
Mohinder Amarnath, 13 years ago.
Incidentally, Amarnath was also given out 'Obstructing the Field' once
- a 'feat' later achieved by Pakistan's Ramiz Raja. Ramiz was
attempting to complete his hundred off the last ball of the innings
and when he realized that he could not do so easily, obstructed the
field.
The following table lists unusual dismissals in LOI cricket, the last
one happening a decade ago.
