Ways to score runs

The aspire of the batsmen is to score runs. One of the main cricket policies is that for batsmen to score runs they must run to each others end of the pitch (from one end to the other). In doing this one run is scored. Cricket rules condition they may run several runs per shot. As well as running they can also score runs by hitting boundaries. A boundary scores the batsmen either 4 or 6 runs. A four is scored by hitting the ball past the border line after hitting the ground while a six is scored by hitting the ball past the boundary on the full (before it hits the ground). Cricket rules also state that once a 4 or 6 has been scored any runs physically ran by the batsman are null & void. They will only obtain the 4 or 6 runs. Other ways runs can be scored according to the cricket policy include no balls, extensive balls, byes & leg byes. Cricket rules state that all runs scored by these methods are awarded to the batting team but not the person batters. Can be stated for many reasons: If the bowler bowls the ball from the wrong place, the ball is stated dangerous (often happens when bowled at the batsmen body on the full), bounces more than twice or roll before reaching the batsman or if fielders are reputation in illegal positions. The batsman can hit a no ball and score runs off it but cannot be out from a no ball except if they are ran out, hit the ball twice, handle the ball or obstruct the field. The batsman gains any runs scored off the no ball for his shot while the team also gains one run for the no ball itself. Will be stated if the umpire thinks the batsman did not have a reasonable opportunity to score off the delivery. However if the delivery is bowled over the batsmen head it will not be declared a wide but a no ball. Umpires are much stricter on wide deliveries in the shorter plan of the game while being much calmer in test cricket. A wide delivery will add one run to the batting team and any runs scored by the batsman. The batsman is not able to get out off a wide delivery except if they are bewildered, run out, handle the ball, hit their wicket or obstruct the field. is where a ball that isn’t a no ball or wide passes the striking batsman and runs are scored without the batsman hitting the ball. is where runs are scored by hitting the batsman, but not the bat and the ball is not a no ball or wide. However no runs can be scored if the striking batsman didn’t attempt to play a shot or if he was avoiding the ball.
