Few Questions on cricket

Hi,

I got few questions on cricket rules and I hope you can clarify my questions.



I play for a league in IOWA,USA. We had a small problem in our regular matches when one of our bowlers just knocked the bails while he is bowling as the runner was not in his crease. He did not bowl the ball. I want to know if this is considered out according to cricket rules.



“15. Bowler attempting to run out non-striker before delivery
The bowler is permitted, before entering his delivery stride, to attempt to run out the non-striker. The ball shall not count in the over.”

Is this rule in cricket laws and if it is, is the non-striker out?
The batsman was out of crease and the umpire said that it was taken out from ICC rules.



The next question is one of our bowlers took a three wickets in four balls, but one ball was a wide. Is this a hat trick or not?



I hope you can answer my questions.

Thanks,



Ramsudhakar Vedula
