Stumped
If the batsman moves out of his crease when the ball is bowled, other than attempting a run, and does not regain his ground, the wicketkeeper can "stump" the batsman by striking the wicket with the ball in his hand (the ball does not have to make contact with the stumps) and the batsman is out "Stumped". The wicket is credited to the bowler.


Run Out
Batsmen who have left their crease in order to attempt a run, or in “Backing up”, will be given out "Run Out" if a fielder throws the ball at the wicket, hits it and the bails are dislodged, as long as the batsman has not regained his ground. If the ball is hit by the batsman and it "breaks" the wicket at the non-striker's end the non-striker shall not be given out unless it has first been touched by a fielder (whether intentionally or otherwise). Also applies when a fielder with ball in hand "breaks" the wicket. The wicket is NOT credited to the bowler.

Penalty Runs
There are many occasions when penalty runs are incurred, but I'm only going to deal with the most common. No Balls and Wides are the two most common, but there is one more to talk about briefly. This is when the ball hits a piece of equipment. If the equipment in question belongs to the fielding side (a discarded helmet or a hat for example) then FIVE runs are added to the batting team's score. The penalty also applies if a fielder deliberately uses his cap etc to stop the ball.

Out
There are ten ways for a batsman to be "Out". 1) Bowled. 2) Caught. 3) LBW. 4) Run Out. 5) Stumped and 6 ) Hit Wicket.These last four I won't bother explaining because they are quite rare. If you really care that much, mail me! 7) Handled the Ball. 8) Hit the Ball Twice. 9) Interfering with the Field. 10) "Timed" Out. Also referred to as being "dismissed".

No-Ball
There are umpteen ways for a ball to be a 'No-Ball', but I'm only going to deal with the most common occurrence. When the bowler bowls the ball, but one or both of his feet are in the wrong place according to the rules - his back foot is behind the back line of the crease, or his front foot is past the front line of the crease - the umpire shall call out "No-Ball!" and make the relevant signal. One 'penalty' run will be added to any other runs scored off of this ball, and added to the batting team's score. A batsman may only be 'Out' from a 'No-Ball' in one of the following ways - Handling The Ball, Obstructing The Field, Hit The Ball Twice, or Run Out.
