Cricketing Queries

I can't say for sure, as I said McCullum scored 1 in the super over, It didn't go to his tally so I would guess it didn't go to his career runs tally.
 
a) If a batsmen has a runner, he can be stumped or runout if either one of them is out of the crease.

b) If the stumps are broken and you want to make a runout, you have to pull out a stump with ball in hand, or something around those lines. But not fix it up again and then break it :p

If all the stumps are already down, I presume you pick one up with the same ball in hand.

c) I don't think super-over stats count to career stats.
 
No, nobody gets credit for the catch.

Same for run-outs; they aren't officially recorded.
I don't think that's right. I believe the substitute does get credited for the catch.

No one gets credited for runouts though, even though some scorers records the names of the fielders involved in the runout.
 
I think you can put one stump back in and pull it out again.

Tell me if a batsman is having a runner and he is facing a spinner.If his runner is outside the crease but he is in the crease and in the mean while the keeper stumps him will he be out or not?

Or he is out sdie the crease but his runner is in side the crease then will he be out or not?
The striker is still subject to the laws, just as the runner is. He is stumped if he is out of his ground. A stumping would most likely take precedence in the event that both of them are outside their ground, but if the runner is outside his ground and the striker is not, then the striker is run out.

He doesn't get credited for the catch.

Just to prove the point, Fawad Alam took a catch as a subsitute in this game vs Zimbabwe: 2nd ODI: Pakistan v Zimbabwe at Hyderabad (Sind), Jan 24, 2008 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

He has 5 catches to this date in ODI cricket; 2 v Bangladesh, 1 v India, 1 v Sri Lanka, and 1 v Australia.

So that catch he took as a substitute doesn't count.
 
So I've been doing it wrong in my school cricket league then :p Credited a stumping to a sub keeper in our stats.

Well if we're talking about doing things wrong, a sub is not allowed to keep, except if you get permission from the opposition captain.
 
Little bit of trivia:

Batsman hit the ball to a silly fielder, it bounces off his helmet and the bowler catches it.

Out or not out?
 
Nope, its not out. The ball cannot go off extra protective equipment and be caught. If it goes off the keepers helmet it can still be out though.

Not out - and it's happened in 2006 (well almost).

Pakistan v West Indies, long hop by Kaneria hit to Farhat - evidence was not conclusive as to whether it hit the helmet of silly point or not, so the decision of out was given (silly point took the catch as well).

I don't think it can be given out if it hits the keepers helmet Mark, although I might be wrong. A helmet is extra for a keeper, I think.
