This category commemorates that wonderful but all-too-rare event when a Big Name Star appears in a film, only to be "bowled out" in a surprisingly short amount of time.
The fun of this category is usually in the unexpected nature of the star's exit. Many times it is unusual enough for them to die at all, let alone with only a few minutes of screen time.
(the name of the category comes from a boring game called cricket, and is a rather weak analogy, even by our standards)
