They both only cost 1 run so what does it matter is the ball has struck a leg or not.
Oh, by the way, what's the difference between leg side and on side. I know where the off-side is but is the opposite side called the on or the leg side? If they're the same why have two terms?
Is an on drive the same as a leg drive?
Is a leg break the same as an on-break?

I suppose it's just because cricket loves stats , but also the inference in a bye is that the wicketkeeper has made an error by not fielding cleanly . But with a leg bye it has hit the batsmen so made it more difficult for the WK to stop it.
The difference in using on as opposed to leg is to distinguish certain fielding positions e.g long Leg is behind the batsmen on the leg side and Long on is on the boundary in front of the batsman on the leg side
But yes you are right , unless you are a real fan some of the things can be a bit hard to explain !!

Leg bye is the run allowed when a delivery hits any part of the batwman other than the bat or the gloved hand that holds the bat, whereas the byes are given when both the batsman and the wicket keeper miss a legal delivery.
There is no difference between leg side and on side as both are the same.

It doesn't really matter but they just want to tell if it was the keepers fault or not.
The leg side is the same as the on side. I don't really know.

While we have off side and on side,the stumps are referred only as off stump and leg stump(not on stump).So the on side is also called leg side but not the other way.
here is no leg drive or on brreak
