General Cricket Discussion

Greetings:

Quick scoring question: a delivery bounces over the batsman's head and the wicket keeper's reach. The batsmen score 1 run as a result. The delivery is subsequently ruled a Wide Ball. The scoring reads "wd2" but only one run was scored on the delivery. For reference, the preceding occured in 39th over, 6th bowl, during India's innings in their 2nd ODI match against WI. Why?

Thank you as always.

Cheers.

When a wide ball is called, one run is awarded to the batting team.

When the batsmen take a run on a wide ball (eg when the wicketkeeper has fumbled/let go of the ball), the batting team is awarded one run for the wide, plus any runs they have obtained from running between the wickets.

If your question was about scoring, as in the TV graphic says that it is 2 runs (wd2) but only one run was added to the total, this is likely a TV graphic error
 
Just realised there's no test cricket, anywhere, until December.

But there is a five-match T20 series between India and Australia starting four days after the ODI World Cup final because of course there is.
