BOWL Out.Twenty20.Will the hit be counted as a wicket to the bowler.?

Question

Though i don't think it is a wicket to the bowler how will it be credited/accounted to the successful/unsuccessful bowlers.

What is it then?

In football & Hockey it is still a goal to the striker.

No one is replying to the more important second part.

Thank you for the correction Mr Heart.

Thank you for the correction Mr Heart.

I was under the impression the tie breaker goals were credited to scorer since the result of the match was shown adding the goals scored in the match & tie breaker.

Answer 1

It's not accredited to the bowler. In football and hockey a penalty is counted as a goal for the scorer, only during the match; not in a shoot-out scenario.
During shoot-out's it's nothing to the scorer in either football/hockey.

In bowl-out similarly, a miss/wicket isn't accredited to the bowler; but I'm sure after the match a bowler will be remembered for a long, long time as missing the stumps if his team loses due to his miss.

Answer 2

A bowl-out (sometimes termed a bowl-off) is used in various forms of one-day cricket to decide a match that would otherwise end in a tie. The procedure is similar to a penalty shootout in football (soccer). Five bowlers from each side each deliver 2 balls at an unguarded wicket. If each team has hit the same number of wickets after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death.

In some forms of domestic one-day cricket competition, a bowl-out is used to decide the result when the match is tied or rained out: for example, the quarterfinal of the Minor Counties Cricket Association Knockout Trophy in 2004, when Northumberland beat Cambridgeshire 4-2

In Twenty20 cricket, if the match ends with the scores level (either because both teams reach the same score after 20 overs, or the second team falls one run short of the target score under the Duckworth-Lewis method), the tie is broken with a bowl-out. A bowl-out was first used to decide a domestic Twenty20 match when Surrey beat Warwickshire in July 2005.[2] The first international bowl-out in a Twenty20 match took place on 16 February 2006, when New Zealand beat West Indies 3-0 in Auckland.

Answer 3

In my opinion bowl out is nothing except a rubbish rule... it should be removed immediately and cannot be implemented again in any sort of cricket. I can't believe that ICC has childish brain guys who put these kind of rules. and how could a bowler get a wicket in this rule where ICC has already told that its just for points. so the hit to the wicket should not count a bowlers wicket.

Answer 4

I think it should not counted as a wicket to the bowler because he bowled without any batmen.Actually, taking wickets is very hard and it is based on the bowler's talent and experience. Therefore, if we count it as a wicket the blower's statitics will not show clear picture about the bowler.

Answer 5

Well hitting the stump with no batsman in front of it is no big
deal (I still cant believe the Pakis missed thrice in a row) .So
it ain't worth a wicket.

Bowl outs are rare and it is difficult to account 4 the hits.Anyway it doesn't use a skill which is used frequently in
Cricket.So,I guess bowlers wont mind(I'm sure the Pakis won't)

Answer 6

The strike in a bowl out does NOT get credited to the bowler's statistics just like in football - goals scored in a penalty shootout do not count to the player's career stats.

Answer 7

there definitlely should be a system that tracks it for the bowlers stats.
After 200 20/20 games a seasoned bowler might have say
a ratio of 30 attempts / 12 hits or something like that.
It is nice for home viewers to be able to see stats and have some sort of proficiency in a certain area.

Answer 8

no.......... ICC rules say the wicket won't be credited to the bowler...quite simply because you are bowling just at the stumps...there is no batsman....so why should it be given as a wicket......it is much simpler in cricket than in football....coz in football you could still argue that the player has to beat the goalkeeper(during the penalty shoot-outs)...he is not simply kicking the ball into a vacant goal-post......

Answer 9

No credit by way of wicket will be given to the bowlers for the bowl out.

Answer 10

its cricket not soccer so the bowler doesnt get the cerdit,its just a tie breaker n anyone frm team can hit the wickets,not necessary he has to be bowler.when uttappa hit ,was he a bowler,no.so its clear its just a tie breaker in world game of cricket.
