The worst possible way to get out: These are the three most famous cases:
1. 1960-62, the great WI v Australia series. had it all ➖ a tie, two more nail-biting finishes, several outstanding performances... and a man given out when his cap fell on the stumps. The unfortunate batsman was Joe Solomon, opening for West Indies in the second Test in Melbourne; such was the popularity of the tourists that the bowler, Australia's captain Richie Benaud, was jeered by the crowd for appealing for what was a legitimate dismissal.
2. The same fate befell India's Ashok Mankad at Edgbaston in 1974 , when he jerked his head back while fending off a bouncer from Chris Old, and his cap fell onto the wicket
