If the bowler oversteps and the ball is too wide that the batsman cannot make contact, according to the ICC law above, the ball would be counted in the batsman’s balls faced which would affect his strike rate. Wouldn't it be unjustice to the batsman for the bowlers mistake?

Man its difficult but not impossible !!\nAnyways ...i think its unjust !

It's up to the umpire. Usually the runner is "safe" unless the ball was clearly on base before the runner. Any doubts means the runner gets the benefit of the doubt. \nCan't give you the rule- as it is now well over 10 years since I called a game

Yes.  It is defenitely a Hat-trick.  Defenition of the rule is reproduced below:\n\nHat-trick occurs in cricket when a bowler dismisses three batsmen with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings, but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count; i.e., run outs do not contribute to a hat-trick.\n\nPlease note the wording  "or the other team's innings", which \nclears the doubt that all 3 wickets are not necessarily be taken in consecutive balls in the same innings.\n\nFor more details, please check the website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hat-trick#Cricket

Isn't your statement a bit puerile? Surely, you already know the answer to this question, but only wish to make a joke about the language of cricket. Frankly, they do have funny lingo. Like, what is a Silly Mid-off?...or LBW, Leg before wicket...fine but what if hits another part of the body...Scapula Before Wicket? Is that part of LBW? Or NBW. Nose Before Wicket!

The penalty is 5 runs. It happened to Australia when playing against South Africa. It's so rare that it can be hardly seen.

i think 4 feilders should remain inside the circle during whole duration of the match.\n   There has been no formal announcement or any review committee to look into the law of powerplays.Till now no scrapping of the rule will take place

1.Time-out: If a batsmen doesn't come to the crease after the fall of the wicket the batsmen should come with in a stipulated amount of time otherwise he is considered as out.\n\n2.Handling the ball: A batsmen is not allowed to catch the ball with his hand after the bowler bowls .\n\n3.Hit-Wicket: A batsmen is considered out if he unknowingly hits the wickets(the bells should fall) with his legs or any other part of the body.\n\n4.Obstructing The field: The best example that can be given is the way inziman ul haq was out recently .

NOT NECESSARY.\nYOU MAY HIT IT BEFORE BOUNCE.\n\nANYHOW, MAXIMUM I BOUNCE ALLOWED TO RETURN BACK THE BALL.

B coz, he hit the ball up above the bowlers head.\nIf it drops on bowler's head, he will die.\nSo the bowlers afraid of local six hitter Afridi.

It's mainly when you cause physical contact that gains you an unfair advantage and is therefore outside the rules...like hitting their arm while they have the ball...even if unintentional.

No punishment... pitcher can put the ball anywhere he wants, at any time. Starting to intentionally walk a batter, and then deciding to pitch to him makes no sense since you would be down in the count... now, maybe start pitching to the guy, get to an 2-0 count, you could decide to throw the next intentional balls to walk him. But there is no punishment.

if your playing a half court game your team has to take the ball back to the top before your team can shoot the ball again....you can take the ball if you dont touch him while doing it...............

There have been lots of instances where a false decision has directly affected the outcome of the game. I think this is a very good move by the ICC. I've heard they will experiment this new rule during next years world cup. As far as the time consumed by referals to the third umpire are concerned, it isn't a problem. A few minutes more won't do any harm to the game. The human element might just take a plunge but that doens't matter. Accurate decisions are a lot more important.

RECORDS ARE MENT TO BE BROKEN..\nBUT..\nTHE BREAKER IS DECIDED BY ICC.\nIF THEY FIX DANISH KANERIA TO DO THAT AS A NIGHT WATCH MAN, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE..\nSO THEY SAY..\n"CRICKET IS FAMOUS FOR ITS UNCERTAINITY,UNPRECDITABLITY,\nUNEXPECTABLITY".

THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT MUST FAVOUR THE BATSMAN LIKE OTHER SITUATIONS.\n\nI HOPE ICC WILL RECALL THIS.

It is not "umpire": it is a referee!\nEach match has different referees!\nHe/she is a person and can make mistakes like anyone else.

You are hearing them most probably enquiring "How is that?" of the umpire ( that is " Is he out?" ).  It can become "Zat?" or "Ows zat?". In cricket the umpire will not make a decision if not asked to.
