a) In career records, a century counts only in that column - so you can have more centuries than half-centuries.

b) No, the run does not count, but the not-out batsman stays at the end he was the nearer player to when the ball was caught.

c) Because of the construction of a cricket ball, this is very unlikely. If the two pieces were of roughly equal size, I would call "dead ball", so he would not be out. If one was significantly larger, I would treat that as "the ball" - so if a small piece of leather comes off and lands on the ground but the remainder of the ball is caught, I'd give it out.

d) The new batsman has three minutes to get to the wicket after the previous man is out. If not, he can be given out "timed out"

e) It's about trying to compare two scores made in different numbers of overs in limited-overs cricket, adjusting for the number of wickets lost. As for the mathematics of it, it's beyond me. Read the Wikipedia entry and see if that helps.

f) A bowler can run up any way he wants, so long as he doesn't cross the bowling crease and he delivers the ball from a legal place. He can ask the umpire to move if that makes his run-up easier. Spinners bowling round the wicket often do that, as they usually have very curved run-ups.

g) If the batsman breaks the wicket (ie knocks off a bail) while the ball is in play - any time from when the bowler releases it to when the umpire declares it dead or calls "over" - he is out "hit wicket". However, he is not out if he is making his ground after attempting or completing a run.

Following r some facts me need to get cleared about cricket
a)if a guy batting scores a century, then will it also count towards his two half century apart from his one full century.

Nope, its classes as 100 and doesnt go down as 2 50s

b)if a guy batting hit's the ball in the air and before the ball is caught by the fielder, the batsman manage to score a run, then will the run be counted, as the run was scored before he got out.

Nope, not if ya caught, if your run out after completing a run then yes

c)wat if the batsman hit the ball and the ball breaks in two piece, one part falls on the ground and the other part is caught by the fielder. Then will the batsman be declared out.

Nope, as the ball has to be in one peice.

d)wat the maximum needed by the batsman to b presented on the field, after the batsman before him has been declared out.

I dont no wat ur asking?

e)I know wat duckworth lewis is all about, but can somebody plz explain wat it's all about.

Its a stupid method,

f)can a baller take a diagonal run up rather than a straight run up

U can do watever u like 2bh. people do different things

a) No - a half century is normally defined as 'a score between 50 and 99', thus when a batsman reaches 50 and it comes up on screen as, say, his 10th Test fifty, if he goes on to make a ton and then gets to 50 again in the second innings it will still come up as '10th Test fifty' as the previous 50 got converted to a 100.
b) No. If you're out you don't get any runs for that ball, unless you were run out (completed runs count) or stumped off a wide.
c) Cricket balls don't break in half. I suppose it is theoretically possible for a really, really old and knackered ball to split and half the cover to come off, but the ball would get changed about a week before this would happen.
d) Three minutes, or he's 'timed out'.
e) It's a runs/resources equation. The more wickets in hand you have, the higher your potential score off any given number of overs.
f) Yes - just look at old film of Bob Willis bowling!
g) If the ball is live, yes. Graham Thorpe and other batsmen use a bail to mark their guard, but obviously the ball is dead when they do this.

(a) 50-99 runs will be counted as a fifty
100-199 will be counted as a century
200-299 will be counted as a double century but in his career will be considered as a century
300-399 as tripple century but will also considered as a century
400-499 as quadruple century can a centry
(b) he wont get any run but if he manages to run to the other half of the pitch then the new batsmen will be at the non strikers end if not then the new batsmen will play the next ball
(c) if the ball breaks (impossible) then it will be called as a dead ball which means the bowler will have to ball it again with another ball of same age.
(d)it doesnt matter how much time the new batsmen takes to come
(e)suppose one side has given a target of 200 runs in odi.the other side comes to bat but becoz of rain or bad light the play is stopped then duck worth luis method is applied it is only possible if the other side has played 34 overs or more.
(f)yes, a bowler can bowl 3.2 metres (maximum) away from stumps.
(g)if the bowler has delivered and the batsmen took off the bails no matter how he will be declared as out (hit wicket/bowled)

good questions, i must say!
a star for u...

1) no, it doesn't count.
2) sadly, they don't count
3) No, its only the ball which can be caught in order to declare someone out.
4) no maximum is needed
5) well, the d/l method calculates the number of runs to be scored by the opposite team in case of badlight, rain etc. A percentage of the number of runs scored, the number of wickets fallen and the runrate is taken out.
6) yeah, but that would make things complicated for him.
7) absolutely!
