Your Cricket Question and answer Box

[usy]

Hey welcome to the Question block, here you can ask any questions about the rules and stuff in Cricket, *whatever*.

Right, even if you don’t want to ask, answer few of mine.. (I’m having huge problem..)


1. If the ball bounces twice (in front of him) before the batsman, and the batsman hits it, does the ball count as normal? Also if he misses then, is it still regarded as a legal ball?

2. If the ball bounces once in front of the batsman, like a regular ball and he/she misses but bounces again behind the batsman (even more then once), is it a legal ball if it is in line?

3. What’s the probability in cricket that that two things would happen,? (just a thought)

Answer to one and two is yes, They are both legal balls. You are more likely to see the one where the ball bounces behind the batsmen and I'm supposing you mean on the way through to the keeper?

1) i think disqualification from league or tournament.
2) Your arm cannot bend until it pasts atleast ur shoulder. for spinner it is 15 degrees bending only

Ok, i dont think that you get chucked out in some cases.

well i dont realy care, just that i want to know what could happen to Yorks if they overturn the thro'out.

I still remember Mohammed Ashfaful getting De Villiers out with a double bouncer a few months back

ok, If a ball pitches within a batsman's reach, then turns or cuts past his reach, is it a wide?

 

[Ollie_H]

Depends when it cuts/turns? Does it cut or turn after it has passed the batsmen? or before it has reached?

A wide down leg isn't generally a wide if it pitched around offstump. Similarly a wide down the offside isn't if it pitched in line with the stumps.
Unless in both cases the ball was very short and angled across, then it would be a wide. But if it was a good length or fuller and spun/seamed, it usually isn't given.
