Query

[cricfan]

Hi
I have a query regarding a rule of cricket.

Say the batsman hits a no-ball in air and completes 2 runs before the ball is caught by the fielder. So how many runs does he get. Only one run for the no-ball is added to the total. Or 2 runs for the batsman and one for the no-ball are added to the total.

Thanks

The batsman gets two runs, plus the no-ball, so three to the total.

They could also continue to run after the ball is caught. Although they can be run out still. I've seen in the past when a no-ball was caught and the fielder celebrates by throwing the ball away (not realising it was a no ball) and the batsmen just carry on running for runs while the said fielder embarrisingly runs after the ball

Didn't a guy a couple of seasons back catch one on the boundary off a no-ball and threw it in celebration over the boundary rope and the umpire awarded a six?

Not something I'd had have thought I'd 'invent' in my head but can't think for the life of me who it was.

Happens all the time in Cricket 2004

I have to add something to the question, as the batsmen is not-out and will also be awarded the runs, can he still run for more runs after the catch has been taken

Yes, but he runs the risk of being run out in doing so.

Batsmen can keep on running during an innings till the ball is 'dead' ie
1) is in the hands of either keeper or bowler with both batsmen safely in their respective creases

OR

2) the umpire has declared a boundary (4 or 6)

OR

3) a batsman has been declared out

4) or umpire calls off play for the day or for a break. Actually he shouldnt be calling off play til the ball is dead but umpires have been known to make this mistake and the ball is deemed dead if they do so even by mistake.

Similar - Brad Cheaty-Hodge carried the ball over the boundary in celebration during the 20:20 cup - Derbyshire maintained that it should have been a six, but most witnesses thought that BCH had the ball under control (i.e. the 'catch' had been taken) at the time.

Except Corky.

Paul Reiffel and Pedro Collins both managed a six-and-not-out in WC matches.

Pedro's was class.

Was that where he 'caught' Lance Klusener in the opening game?

 

[Craig]

Yep.

I really your team was going to win.

But they never ran (Klusener and Boje) and it was game set and match.

 

[DJ]

I was at that bloody game. I remember watching the ball fall into the fielder's hands and thinking, "Oh well, Klusener got us almost there, now Boje can see us home." Then I looked back at the pitch and saw that they hadn't crossed. Much loud swearing followed.

Of course, there was also 'that' over..............
