Answer 1

A leg-bye is defined in the Laws of cricket by Law 26.2. It is a run scored when:
- The ball hits the batsman, unless it also hits his bat (or his hands or gloves);
- The umpire decides that the batsman was making a genuine attempt to hit the ball or was trying to avoid being hit by the ball;
- The delivery is not called a no-ball (in which case any leg-byes scored are instead added to the score as no-balls); and
- The runs are scored either by the batsmen running between the wickets or by the ball going to the boundary.

In this case, the runs are added to the scorecard as leg-byes under extras. They are not credited to the bowler's figures and no penalty is given to the fielding side except for the runs scored in the normal way.

Answer 2

leg bye

In the sport of cricket, a leg bye is a run scored by the batting team when the batsman has not hit the ball with his bat, but the ball has hit the batsman's body or protective gear.

If the ball deflects off the batsman's body and needs to be gathered by a fielder, the batsmen may have the opportunity to score runs safely, and may choose to do so. The number of runs scored are scored as leg byes - they are added to the team's total, but not to the number of runs scored by either batsman, nor to the number of runs conceded by the bowler.

If the ball deflects off the batsman's body and travels all the way to the boundary, the batting team immediately scores four leg byes, similar to if the ball had been hit to the boundary for a four.

Leg byes may only be scored if the ball hit the batsman while the batsman was in the process of either:

attempting to hit the ball with his bat, or
attempting to evade being hit by the ball.
If the batsman was attempting neither of these, and the ball hits his body, it is a dead ball and runs may not be scored. The batsmen may, however, attempt to score runs and may be run out. If they complete such a "run" when the ball is dead, the umpire will signal dead ball, the run is not scored, and the batsmen must return to their wickets as before the run attempt.

Leg byes are relatively common, being the commonest form of extras in a cricket score. A typical number scored in a game might be in the range 10-40.


Validity of leg byes

In recent years, there has been a growing movement to change the Laws of Cricket to eliminate leg byes from the sport. Former international umpire Darrell Hair has been a particular critic of leg byes, stating that if a batsman is not skilled enough to hit a ball with his bat, he should not be allowed to score runs off it.


harmission and hoggard retired from cricket but cook is dropped.

As far as omission of Harmison from the England Team is concerned, he has announced his retirement from the One Day Internationals on 21st December, 2006.

As far as omission of Cook and Mathew Hoggard is concerned, they were not selected as they were not best in form for ODI and England selectors had better options than them.

Answer 4

Very simple...
if the batting team scores a run by running between the wickets it is called a RUN
If they score a run in this manner but the ball does not hit the bat it is called a BYE
If they score a run in this manner but the ball hits any part of the batsman's body (excluding the bat) then its called a LEG BYE

Answer 5

A leg bye is when the ball hits the batsmans pads and they get runs for it.

Answer 6

Leg buy means " the run simply scored when the bowl touches any parts of body and goes somewhere where the run is scored in such case".

Answer 7

Harmison has retired from one day cricket.

A leg bye is when the ball hits the batsmans pads and they get runs for it.

Answer 8

when ball do not have contact with bat but touches his pad and they do run.
