Cover: only used to ever have one fielder in that region in olden days so they had a lot of area to 'cover' (I'll get my coat )

Third man : haven't a scoobie doo

Some of these may be repeats, but anyway.

The batsmen hits the ball off a legal delivery, what is the result of it strikes the following and hits the stumps with the batsmen out of his ground:

- The keepers helmet
- The fielders helmet
- The non strikers helmet and it hits strikers end stumps
- The non strikers helmet and it hits bowlers end stumps
- The foot of the fielder

The bowler bowls a genuine yorker and it hits the batsmens foot and pops straight up, the batsmen steadies, lines it up and hits the ball like a baseball shot for 6.

The batsmen asks you if they can leave their helmet on the ground (ala keepers), do you allow it?

What do the laws mean when it refers to 'The umpire' and 'The umpires together'?

What are the potential 'results' in cricket?

- The keepers helmet

I think 5 or 4 runs.

5 runs

Interesting, is there an umpire signal for this?

Also, I have a question myself.
In theory, can a batsman run more than 6 runs if the ball is still live and the fielding team make the mistakes to allow this to happen?
Would this be allowed within the laws of the game?

Okay let's see...

The keepers helmet. his depends if he's wearing it or not, if the keeper is not wearing the helmet it is five runs if not then it is out.
The fielders helmet I feel this would be called a dead ball
The non strikers helmet and it hits strikers end stumps Out.
The non strikers helmet and it hits bowlers end stumps Out
The foot of the fielder Out

I think that's tea... ?

 

[El Loco]

I think answer is YES

Remind me not to let my imagination get the better of me again.

Yup - for certain infractions the umpire has the ability to award 5 run penalties.

If the runs are to be awarded to the batting team. The umpire signals this by tapping the opposite shoulder with the hand.

If runs awarded to the fielding team, by placing one hand on the opposite shoulder.

Here's Kettlebot signalling 5 runs to batting side.
CK's video I think predates the inclusion of actual specific signals. Although its good practice once the shoulder thing is acknowledged to hold out the amount of runs total scored to prevent confusion...
