IN ODI IT CAN BE..\nJUST REMEMBER THE 1999 SEMI-FINAL BETWEEN S.A. AND AUSSIES..\nIN OTHER SOME INCIDENTS THE TEAM SCORING LESSER BALLS DECLARED WIN.

Well in such situations, the match shall be awarded to the side batting 2nd. Because, when the scores are crossed then there is nothing left. You might have noticed, that in this ICCCT (ICC Champions Trophy) in the match between Australia and England, Michael Hussey hit the ball for 4 on a "No-ball" to win the match. But, only the "No-ball" was counted in the scores, because once the scores are crossed, then there nothing left in it. And also, the last wicket of the stumping shall not be awarded. So, the side batting 2nd would win the match by 1 wicket.\n\nRawal.

Convince Ricky Ponting, Shane Warne, Glen McGrath, Mike Hussey, to come and play for you. Otherwise, it doesn't matter what you do, you will lose. Sorry.

The batsman does not get a run if a bowler bowls a wide.\nIt goes only to the team.\nIt does not even add to the bowler's figures. But he would have to bowl an extra ball.

Ofcourse they can>I believe they had even tried recently but they did not have any good players and their performance was pathetic to sya the least.They will have to promote Cricket,develop good players and then form a Cricket Team which is atleast somewhat of International Calibre.

A bowler can bowl only 20% of the quota of his team. Normally if the match goes full distance when his team is fielding, the team bowls 50 overs and he can bowl 20% of 50 overs, which is 10 overs.\nHowever, if overs are reduced on account of rain or calmity and the overs are reduced to 25 overs, each bowler can not bowl more than 5 overs. However, if the number of overs are not exactly divisible by 5 and you get fraction, i.e. if overs are 28 overs, than 3 bowlers can bowl 6 overs and rest two can bowl 5 overs each.\n\nIn short it can not exceed 20% in a full game and in case of reduced game match it could exceed 20% , but only by that fraction as explained above.

Yes. It's possible in more than one ways!\nMy answer is this:\nThe second last ball: Batsman-1 hits hard and they run 3 runs. When the third run was being taken an enthusiastic fielder throws the ball to one end, misses the stumps and the ball crosses the boundry for 4, resulting in total 7 runs. The team has won the match! BUT WAIT... The umpire is signalling one short-run (incomplete run), because during the process of running 3, one of the batsmen didn't once plant his bat properly inside the crease. So, effectively, they have scored just 6. Thus, although batsman-1 has completed his century, but the team still needs 1 run to win. However, because of all this, now batsman-2 in on strike (as they had ran 3). \nThe last ball: Instead of scoring that single, batsman-2 hits a six, to complete his 100. \nFinally, the team has won, and both have scored 100's. \n\nThere could be another possibilities also, but while deciding the best answer, please think practically and consider the tense situation also.\n\nThis same question was asked TWICE before by some \nÂ¦Â¥Â¦Â¤Â°ÂºÃ?Ã?Ã?Ã?ÂºÂ°... about 5 days ago. My answer was the same as I have written here (and some users have actually copied my answer here, without giving any citation!). \nBut, there that asker selected the following answers:\n1. By ThE FLamEe\nBatsman A faces the second last delivery. He hits the ball for a six, which is saved by the fielder in the deep. The fielder is just to lazy to stop the ball by his hand, and stops by his hat. Batsman A has already ran a run, and is on the opposite side. The batsman gets 6 runs, 1 he ran, 5 for penalty! Batsman A completes century. Now Batsman B hits a six on the last ball, thereby making his century and winning the match.\n2. By t_rex_boi\nEasy....the batsman 1 hits the first of the 2 balls and runs a single......the throw to run out at the keepers end misses the stump and hits the cap/helmet ( not worn) of one of the fielders/wicketkeeper. thats 5 runs so total scored on the ball is 6(1+5) and the strike changed as they took a single. the last ball is hit for a six when 1 run was needed.\n\nNow, my question is:\nDo you think in a tense situation like this a fielder would stop the ball with his hat? So, in my opinion, the answer 1 (By ThE FLamEe) is just a possibility, nothing more. The answer 2 (By t_rex_boi) is quite acceptable.\n\nSo, before deciding anything, think practically (although this example is a rarest of the rarest situation indeed). In a tense situation you can expect short-runs, over-throws... etc. Not that a fielder stopping the ball with his hat!!!

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

Cricket is a team sport played between two teams of eleven players each. It is a bat-and-ball game played on a roughly elliptical grass field, in the centre of which is a hard, flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called the pitch.\n\nAt each end of the pitch stand a set of wooden poles called wickets (traditionally made from the wood of the ash tree). A player from one team (the bowler) propels a hard, fist-sized ball from one wicket towards the other. A player from the opposing team (the batsman) attempts to defend the wicket from the ball with a wooden cricket bat, traditionally made of willow. Another batsman (the non-striker) stands in an inactive role near the bowler's wicket.\n\nIf the batsman hits the ball with his bat, he may run to the other wicket, exchanging places with the non-striker. This scores a run. The batting team attempts to score as many runs as it can, while members of the bowling team gather the ball and return it to either wicket. If the ball strikes a wicket while the nearest batsman is still running, the batsman is out. Batsmen can also be out by other means, such as failing to defend the bowled ball from hitting the wicket, or hitting a catch to a fielder.\n\nOnce out, a batsman is replaced by the next batsman in the team. As there must always be two batsmen on the field, if and when the tenth batsman is out, the team's turn to bat or innings (always with a terminal "s" in cricket usage) is over, and the other team may bat while the first team takes the field. Depending on the specific rules of the match, one or two innings may be played, possibly with a fixed number of legally-bowled balls defining the end of an innings rather than ten batsmen having been dismissed. At the end of the match, the winner is the team that has scored the most runs. However, the game may run out of time before it is finished, in which case it is a draw, even if one team is overwhelmingly winning at that point. This is sometimes surprising to those not familiar with the game, but it does add interest to one-sided games by giving the inferior team the incentive to try and achieve a draw even if they cannot win.\n\n    Cricket Portal \nCricket has been an established team sport for several centuries. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In some countries in South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular sport. Cricket is also a major sport in England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. It is also a prominent minor sport in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Israel, Nepal, and Argentina (see also: International Cricket Council).\n\nThe length of the game — a match can last six or more hours a day for up to five days in one form of the game — the numerous intervals for lunch and tea, and the rich terminology are notable aspects which can often confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment and outstanding sporting achievements. It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most infamous being the Bodyline series played between England and Australia.

A similar question was asked earlier too. I am copying my same answer about POWER PLAY.\n\nPower Play has been around for quite a while now to make cricket a bit more interesting.\n\nEarlier, Field Restrictions used to be for the first 15 overs. During those 15 overs, only 2 players are allowed to field outside the circle.\n\nBut now, this field restriction rule is innovated a bit. Instead of 15 overs, the restriction is for 20 overs. But the interesting part is, it's not the first 20 overs.\nRestriction for the first 10 overs is still a MUST. The next 10 can be broken down into 5 each. These 5 overs, with the field restriction, can be bowled anytime during the innings. The bowling Captain has the right to decide when he wants to bowl those pairs of 5 overs.\n\nMost captains use these pair of 5 overs all at once, making it 20 overs in a row for field restriction.\n\nThe reason why this Rule was imposed was to make cricket little less boring. Because during mid innings, between 20 to 40 overs, the innings slows down considerably. With this rule, the batsmen can have a chance of attacking if the field restrictions (or POWER PLAY) are imposed during those dead overs.\n\nRegarding the benefit to team: It only benefits the batting team, because they have the chance to score more boundaries. The job of the bowling captain is to use it effectively, and not allow too many runs during those overs. That's one of the reasons why bowling team prefers bowling 20 overs in one go (they don't want to keep those overs till the end with the slog overs when the batsmen go all out for hitting/slogging.). One more reason is, they can take more wickets early on in the innings if the POWER PLAYS are used early (so that the batsmen try to hit and lose their wickets). \n\nThe 2 pairs of 5 overs are usually referred as POWER PLAY (power play 1 & power play 2).\n\nHope, that makes it clear.

TO MAKE A RESULT, TO AVOID THE LESSER SCORED TEAM AQUIRE A DRAW..... THE FOLLOW-ON IMPLEMENTED. \nONE TEAM BATS FIRST..SCORES 500 RUNS.THE NEXT MUST GET 201 RUNS MINIMUM.\nATLEAST 199 RUN MUST BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 1ST & 2ND TEAMS IN THEIR FIRST INNINGS.\nOTHERWISE, THE FIRST BATTED CAN FORCE THE 2ND TO BAT AGAIN.\nTHATS CALLED FOLLOW-ON.\n\nANYHOW,THE FIRST TEAM MAY NOT FORCE IT IN SOME SITUATIONS.\nTHEY HAVE THE OPTION.
