Handled the ball

The South African Russell Endean became the first victim of this method in international cricket when he was dismissed in a 1957 Test match against England.

[4] The first batter to be dismissed for handling the ball in first-class cricket was James Grundy, who suffered the fate while playing for the MCC against Kent in 1857.

[11] Charles Wright was the first player to be dismissed for returning the ball to a fielder in first-class cricket; albeit wrongly.

The umpire dismissed Wright, despite a clause added to the law nine years previous stating that a batter would not be ruled out if they were returning the ball at the request of the fielding side.

[11] The first occasion of a batter being given out handled the ball in international cricket occurred during a Test match between South Africa and England in Cape Town in 1957.

[20] The second instance came 22 years later during a bad-tempered series between Australia and Pakistan that also involved another rare dismissal method: Mankading.

[21] Andrew Hilditch was the victim in this match; he picked up the ball and returned it to the bowler after a wayward throw from a fielder.

[22] Another Pakistan player, Asif Iqbal, distanced himself from the incident, commenting that he felt "there was no need for us to stoop so low as to appeal against Hilditch".

[23] Desmond Haynes was the fourth man to be dismissed for handling the ball in Test cricket, just over a year after Mohsin.

[25] After asking the bowler, Kapil Dev, if he wanted to withdraw his appeal, the umpire sent Haynes back to the pavilion.

[24] The first instance in One Day Internationals was in 1986, when the Indian batter Mohinder Amarnath knocked away a turning delivery from Australia's Greg Matthews that was heading for the stumps.

Playing defensively to try and draw the Test match against Australia, Gooch blocked a short ball from Merv Hughes.

[29] Despite the fact that it was unlikely that the ball would land near the stumps, the West Indies captain, Brian Lara, appealed, and Cullinan was dismissed.

England's Michael Vaughan missed an attempted sweep against Sarandeep Singh, and the ball trickled along the ground after striking his pads.

[33] Initially, he claimed that he was attempting to give the ball back to the fielder at short leg,[34] but he later admitted that he "should have just held up [his] hands and said 'I got it all wrong, I'm an idiot'".
