How many runs?

[Curmudgeon]

What if it flies over the boundary off the pad?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

6 wides.
6 byes

Depends if they played a shot��

Look at Ben Stokes in the 2015 Lords ODI for a blatant example of handling the ball. He was sent on his way and rightly so.

 

[TheJediBrah]

No. That was about strategy. This is just about the scoring rules and related controversies.

interesting choice of words

Actually it would be just 4 runs. To score a six the ball must come off the bat. No such thing as 6 byes, legbyes or sides.

Gravity defying ****

That was enlightening

Tell that to a hexagon ****

Six wides might be vaugely possible if you are Jeff Thomson type pace on a 70s or 80s WACA deck, but even then I have my doubts

Wouldn't be possible because even if it happens it would just be scored as wide+4 not wide+6

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

So, if the ball off the pitched and landed over the ropes behind the keeper, it's not a six wides?

Dead ball?

4 byes/wide+4 depending on where it crossed the batsman

What if it's a wide and the batsmen run 5 ****

 

[cnerd123]

This reminds me - if the batsmen hit the ball into the outfield, and run 5 before it crosses the boundary, they'll be credited with 5 runs not 4.

Seems like common sense, but it's actually explicitly stated in the laws, which is nice to see. Also the over-throw law kicks in if a fielder chucks it over the rope trying to keep the batsmen to less runs (or keep a certain batsman on strike)

Nah what you do is dive and let your momentum carry you to the boundary. Or "accidentally" touch the line with your foot.

They should have consulted ***** before filming lagaan

If starc or someone similarly quick happened to be bowling on some of the pitches I've played on they could do it easily

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87m2d6cV4F0 indicates a team is not required to appeal for an out. If so, that raises this hypothetical: Batsman hits fly that is caught by the bowler who notices the partner is out of his ground and then runs him out. Does the fielding side have the option to appeal only the run out?

Is there a difference in this case as between what the written rules allow and the unwritten spirit of the game rules?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

What kinda fly does the batsman hit?
