97 yrs since cricket's first timed-out dismissal
Cricket's first timed-out dismissal took place in a county cricket match between Somerset and Sussex on May 22, 1919. Sussex's last batsman, Arthur Heygate, suffering a leg injury, came in to bat with scores tied, only for the umpires to adjudge him dismissed for not arriving on time. Cricket's rules went on to include the timed-out clause after the incident.
