I was going to write "many things," but ran out of subject line length.
Anyway, cricket is easy. If it goes wide of the wicket, it's wide. If it hits the wicket, it's a wicket. If it hits the batter's leg but would have hit the wicket if it didn't, it's leg before wicket and counts as a wicket.
If it doesn't hit the wicket, whether the batter hit it or not, the batter can try to take a run, but conversely any time the bat is out of the crease, a wicket can be taken. (It's not unknown for the second runner to get wicketed for being caught creeping). |
