Cricketing Queries

[Sureshot]

It's standardised within professional cricket, that's what matters.

TBH, the ICC one should pretty much be the one 99% of people look to.

If Shane Bond bowls the first 3 balls of an over then gets injured (typical), and Daryl Tuffey finishes off the last 3 balls, does that mean Daryl can bowl 10.3 overs or 9.3 overs in the match (ODI) ??

 

[drainpipe32]

9.3 overs.

 

[sohum]

9.3 overs.

You cannot bowl over 10 overs, that's a rule. The 3 balls Tuffey bowled to finish Bond's over were bowled out of Tuffey's allotment, not Bond's. Similarly, if Bond has bowled the first 3 balls of the match and Tuffey fills in for him, I'm pretty sure Tuffey cannot bowl the next over.

 

[Sureshot]

What they've said. Which is why many a captain will use the part-timer bowler that may bowl 5-6 overs to finish the innings. Though if that's in the first 10 overs, you'd want to finish the over with a front-line paceman.

Super hypothetical:

Ball rips apart when hit back to the bowler, the bowler catches part of the ball and the other half rolls down past the ropes.

Dead ball?

 

[sohum]

Haha, Gazza, nice edit.

@hMarka I don't think there's an official ruling. The rules can't take account of every possible circumstance, especially one that is pretty much impossible. I suppose it would be called a dead ball just given that it's such a rare occasion. Maybe sell the ball on eBay for a couple hundred bucks.

That's actually happened to me in street cricket back in Chennai. We were playing with a rubber ball and the ball split on impact (those usually only last like 4 days tops). A fielder caught one half and the other fell safe. Not sure how we ruled it though.

IIRC the guy who was 'caught' had the bat and threatened to storm off home if we gave that out, so we let him keep playing .

Ok, anyone know this?

Taken from Boned! by 12th Man.

Ball is bowled (naturally) and it stops dead on the wicket. Is it fair game for the batsman to go and hit??

 

[Cricketman]

It's happened a few times in test cricket I think. There's that famous six that Allan Border (?) hit that slipped out of the bowlers hand on to some of the practice wickets.

What is exactly the ruling on the ball bouncing twice? There was a batsman dismissed by it a while back in international cricket...

It was AB Devilliers against Bangladesh. If the ball bounces twice and you play a shot, you can be caught.

The ball must not bounce more than twice.. so 2 bounces is legal

-D-S-B- added 2 Minutes and 7 Seconds later...

I was looking for a hilarious vid of when the bowler bowls to Craig McMillan and it comes out the back of his hand. McMillan runs past the non-striker to hit the ball and hits it straight to a fieldsman.... Instead of the non-striker running to the strikers end and completing the single, he just stands there and McMillan has to run from mid-on to get back to his crease... Couldn't find it Its pretty :laugh though

Found this instead....

Like it just doesn't bounce? I would guess that it's legal to hit, but I don't know for sure. You'd have to have a good golf drive.

That has happened recently also. I am not sure about two teams but I think it was between SA Vs India and where SA Batsman missed to hit it. I am not sure about teams though.
