Whenever a wide is bowled, the batting side is awarded a run however, this run is not credited to the batsman at the striker's end. Such delivery is considered as wide if no part of the batsman's body or equipment touches the ball. So what does a wide ball mean in cricket? A wide ball is a result when a bowler bowls in bad line or when he bowls the ball too far away from the batsman to strike it. You must have seen the batting team getting happy whenever the umpire announces that a wide ball has been bowled. WideYou must have heard the term "wide ball" a lot during a cricket match.
These runs are awarded to the batting team, but they are not credited to any individual batsman as they are mostly associated with untidy bowling rather than good batting. Extras are the runs scored by methods other than hitting the ball with the bat. These methods are collectively referred to as extras. However, there are some other methods of scoring runs in cricket that can get the batting side some additional runs. their boundary runs or the runs the batsmen scored by running.įigure: Batter trying to hit the boundary (Picture credit: Pinterest)ĮxtrasThe abovementioned methods of scoring runs in cricket are the most common ones in the sport and can be seen very frequently during a match. If both batsmen are running when the ball reaches the boundary, they may stop and their team will be awarded whichever runs are greater i.e. However, if the batsman successfully hits the ball over the boundary without hitting the ground even once, the batsman and his team will get six runs. If the ball had touched the ground or a fielder while it was on its way to cross the boundary, the batsman gets four runs in this case. If the batsman hits the ball hard enough to make it cross the marked boundary on the field, the batsman makes either four or six runs. Scoring a BoundaryRunning between the wickets is not the only way a batsman can make runs. If the fielders are taking more time to retrieve the ball, the batsmen may run between the wickets more than once and score “twos” and even “threes.” In theory, many runs can be made by running like this, but the fielders usually recover the ball quickly in reality as there are nine of them after the ball. If they cross each other and arrive safely at the opposite ends of the pitch before the fielders can catch the ball and hit the wicket, the striker has successfully scored one run, which is also known as a "single." Scoring a SingleA batsman scores one run when he hits the ball, either with the bat or with the gloved hand that is holding the bat, directing it away from the fielders so that both the players holding a bat (the striker and the non-striker) can run the length of the pitch.
