Out is out...the umpire doesn't have to justify the dreaded index finger. Once there is a "how's that my good gentleman" beforehand, or more commonly, "owwwwwsseeeee...howzatttttt, howwww, please give him out?"
Cause, scorers used to represent them with dots?Okay here's an old school one. Why do they call a non scoring delivery a dot ball?

Correct, now can anyone give me a list of scoring notations without double checking anywhere?
To your last statement, can't the fielding team take an extra 30 minutes if they wish? I just remembered something like that being possible.
EDIT: come on, the upside down triangles and the crosses and the little circles with numbers in them? Scoring symbols aren't THAT hard...confusing yes, but not hard...
That was going to be in my next series of questions. That proviso you are thinking of only applies to tea, not to lunch.
I only realised that recently, Ive probably enforced it for a lunch break. Oops!
It also applies to the final session of multi-day games once it's not the final day. Seen it a couple of times. Honestly did not know it doesn't apply to the lunch break though. Learning more and more.
