A Powerplay is a new rule concerning fielding restrictions in one-day international (ODI) cricket. In the past, there was a 15-over period at the start of an innings when only two fielders were allowed outside the 30-yard circle. This meant that attacking batsman were likely to score runs quickly in the first 15 overs, but would become more watchful at the end of the spell.\n\nIn an effort to keep the game more exciting during the middle overs, this rule was amended to apply only to the first 10 overs of every innings, but also in two blocks of five overs, Powerplays, which will be used at the discretion of the fielding captain.\n\nThe first block of 10 overs in an innings, where the fielding restrictions are exactly the same as per the old ODI rules, is known as Powerplay 1. That is only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle and two fielders have to be in close catching position. \nThe first block of five overs chosen at the fielding captain's discretion is known as Powerplay 2. The fielding captain has to decide at which point he wishes to implement this rule. He can implement it at any stage in the match, even midway through an over, provided he informs the umpire. Only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle and the two close catchers are not mandatory in this case. \nThe second block of five overs, identical to Powerplay 2 is known as Powerplay 3. \nThe umpire will signal Powerplay by moving his arm in a circular motion. \nShould the fielding captain choose not to exercise his discretion, the remaining powerplays will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. at the start of the 41st and the 46th overs in an uninterrupted innings). \nThe Powerplay was intended to add to the excitement in ODI cricket. If the batting team has got off to a very quick start, the fielding captain choose to delay Powerplay 2 and 3, and instead spread out the field to stem the flow of runs. Powerplays may then be taken when an attacking batsman is out, or when the run rate has been reduced. Otherwise, all 20 Powerplay overs are likely to be taken at the start of the batting team's innings.\n\nThe rule was first encountered in the One-day International between England and Australia on 7 July 2005. It is possible that the innovation will be a part of the playing conditions for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

One solution is here:\n\nBatsman 1 hits the ball and runs 3, and fielder throws the ball which goes to the boundary as overthrows. In between, the umpire calls ONE (RUN) SHORT. So Total Runs = 3 (ran by batsmen) - 1 (One Short) + 4 (Overthrows).\n\nSo, Batsman 1 gets 6 runs and completes his Century. Also, as the batsmen ran 3 runs, the other batsman (Batsman2) will be on strike for the next ball. He hits a SIX and completes his Century, there by winning the match.\n\nI'll have a look if there are other solutions.\n\nUpdate: More solutions: \n1st Ball: 1 run scored + 5 penalty runs (Ball tampering, ball hitting helmet, fieldingwith cap, fielder obstructing batsman, time-wasting by fielders, tampering of pitch)\n2nd Ball: 6 runs.

Here's a pretty simple explanation for you.\n\nPowerplay is a revised ruling on the fielding restrictions that apply to all one day international matches. Prior to the introduction of powerplays, only two players were allowed outside the fielding circle for first 15 overs. \n\nThis is what the new ruling is:\n\nIn a 50 overs game, the Fielding Restriction Overs shall apply for 20 overs per innings, to be taken as follows:\n\n1. Ten of the Fielding Restriction Overs shall be the first 10 overs of the innings. \n\n2. The remaining 10 overs shall be taken at the discretion of the fielding captain in 2 blocks of 5 at any time in the innings thereafter and shall be known as powerplays. The fielding captain shall advise the on-field umpires accordingly.\n\nShould the fielding captain choose not to exercise his discretion, the remaining blocks of fielding restriction overs will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (i.e. in an uninterrupted innings, at the start of the 41st and the 46th overs).\n\nThe fielding team chooses.

oh yes it is they can get penalized either 1 or 2 ways either by unneccesary roughness or unsportsmanlike conduct and could even get ejected from the game depending on the official that's a nono you can only tackle a person from behind if they have the ball and you're behind them but not without the ball

Hello,\n\nHere is the answer to your question.\n\nGraham Yallop was a famous Australian Cricketer. He was the first to wear a helmet .vs West Indies at Bridgetown on 17th March 1978 and later England’s Dennis Amiss popularized it in Test Cricket.\n\nThere is nobody in particular from India who started this. It got popularized and thus, all the Countries started using the Helmet in Cricket. India is one of these countries.\n\nHope this information might help you.\n\nSreekar.

Yes, defensive three seconds. If you aren't within arms length of an offensive player in a defensive position (knees bent, protecting the post, etc.) you will be called for defensive three seconds. The penalty is one technical foul shot for the offensive team and the ball in a sideline out of bounds.

Wow, so many answers and none of them correct, no one has answered how to win a match by zero wickets.  \n\nIn the example given a couple previous answers are correct, the run would count, the wicket would not count, the batting team would win by 1 wicket.  Lords holds the laws of cricket.  \n\nLaw 24 (no balls) states:\n12. Penalty for a No ball\n"A penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call of No ball. Unless the call is revoked, this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed. It shall be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance and any other penalties awarded."\n\nAnd under law 25 (wide ball)\n"5. Penalty for a Wide\nA penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call of Wide ball. Unless the call is revoked (see 3 above), this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed, and shall be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance and any other penalties awarded."\n\nNow as to whether the wicket would count.  Law 21 (The Result) states:\n"6. Winning hit or extras\n(a) As soon as a result is reached, as defined in 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, the match is at an end. Nothing that happens thereafter, except as in Law 42.17(b) (Penalty runs), shall be regarded as part of it. Note also 9 below."\n\nTherefore the wide or no-ball would count but the wicket would not as it came after the result.  Similarly if a batsman is on 98 and the scores are tied they need a boundary to get to 100, they cannot run 2 as the result is reached after the first run.\n\nThe only way a team can win with zero wickets is also covered by law 21:\n"7. Statement of result\nIf the side batting last wins the match without losing all its wickets, the result shall be stated as a win by the number of wickets still then to fall.\nIf the side batting last has lost all its wickets but, as the result of an award of 5 penalty runs at the end of the match, has scored a total of runs in excess of the total scored by the opposing side, the result shall be stated as a win to that side by Penalty runs."\n\nPenalty runs are awarded due to unfair play.  There are only three instances where a fielding side can give away 5 penalty runs during an over: 1)  deliberate distraction or obstruction of the batsman second infringement.  However the wicket will not count so they will in fact win by 1 wicket.  2)  Fielder does damage to the pitch.  Afridi was guilty of this recently.  3)  Match ball condition is changed, plenty of instances of this happening.  \n\nAt the end of a match if a team has lost by less then 5 runs and they find TV footage of the fielding team damaging the pitch or changing the condition of the ball they could apply for a 5 run penalty to win the match.  This would have to be done before the umpires meet with the scorers at the conclusion of the match.  Once the umpires and scorers agree on the correctness of the scores the result cannot be changed.

If the ball rests on the edges, and the opponent moves the basket, it shall count as a goal. \nWhen the ball goes out of bounds, it shall be thrown into the field of play by the person touching it. He has a right to hold it unmolested for five seconds. In case of a dispute the umpire shall throw it straight into the field. The thrower-in is allowed five seconds; if he holds it longer it shall go to the opponent. If any side persists in delaying the game the umpire shall call a foul on that side. \nThe umpire shall be the judge of the men and shall note the fouls and notify the referee when three consecutive fouls have been made. He shall have power to disqualify men according to Rule 5. \nThe referee shall be judge of the ball and shall decide when the ball is in play, in bounds, to which side it belongs, and shall keep the time. He shall decide when a goal has been made and keep account of the goals, with any other duties that are usually performed by a referee. \nThe time shall be two fifteen-minute halves, with five minutes rest between. \nThe side making the most goals in that time shall be declared the winner. In the case of a draw the game may, by agreement of the captains, be continued until another goal is made.

cricket\nin progress. The beige strip is the cricket pitch. The people wearing black trousers on the far right are the umpires.]] Cricket is a team game played between two teams of eleven players each. It originated in its modern form in England, and is popular mainly in the countries of the Commonwealth. In the countries of South Asia, including India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is by far the most popular participatory and spectator sport. Cricket is a major sport in places such as England and Wales, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe and the English-speaking Caribbean. The length of the game (a game can last over six or more hours a day for up to five days), numerous intervals for lunch and tea and rich terminology help confuse those not familiar with the sport. For its fans, the sport and the intense rivalries between the top cricketing nations provide passionate entertainment that has occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage. \nObjective and summary\nCricket is a bat and ball sport. The objective of the game is to score more runs (points) than the opposing team. A match is divided into innings. During an innings, one team bats while the other team bowls and fields. (Note: when referring to "a team's innings," one usually means that team's turn to bat.) Games may be played over one or two innings. For some one innings matches each team's innings may be restricted to a set number of fair deliveries to be bowled by the opposing team. The team batting first aims to set a target score for the opposition and the team batting second chases the target. The bowling team tries to limit the runs scored by the batting team and at the same time to get the opposition players out, an event which is described as 'taking a wicket'. Each player continues to bat until he is out; once he is out, he may not bat again in that innings. The team batting always has two batsmen on the field; once ten of the eleven players of the batting team have been dismissed (i.e. ten wickets have been taken) the innings comes to an end. The winner is the team which has scored the most runs. If the team batting last loses, they are said to have lost the match by m run(s), where m is the difference in scores between the teams. If the team batting last wins they are said to have won the match by n wickets, where n is the number of additional wicket(s) the opposing team needed to take to bring the innings to an end. If both teams score the same number of runs, and the team batting last has completed its last innings, the match is a tie. If the match cannot be completed before the allotted time for the match expires, the result is a draw. If the match has only single innings per side, with a set number of deliveries, and the match is abandoned without completion due to an impossibility of continuing the play, because of bad weather, unruly crowd or any such unlikely event or situation, the result is declared as No-Result. See also: Result \nLaws of cricket\nMain article: Laws of cricket The game is played in accordance with 42 laws of cricket, which have been developed by the Marylebone Cricket Club in discussion with the main cricketing nations. Teams may agree to alter some of the rules for particular games. Other rules supplement the main laws and change them to deal with particular circumstances. In particular, there are a number of modifications to the playing structure and fielding position rules that apply to one innings games that are restricted to a set number of fair deliveries. \nPlayers and officials\nMain articles: Cricketer, Umpire Each team consists of eleven players. Depending on his primary skills, a player may be classified as a specialist batsman or bowler. A balanced team usually has five or six specialist batsmen and four or five specialist bowlers. A player who excels in both fields is known as an all-rounder. One player of the team that is currently bowling takes up the role of a

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

Unlike American football, when there is a penalty or an injury, the "clock" keeps running.  They add the time used during the penalty or injury to the end of the half... called "stoppage time".
