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.
