Just a bit of fun here... lets see if anyone can get these questions.
Ill set a new one once its been correctly answered.

At the end of an over, a fast bowler who has split his boot signals to the balcony for a new pair and asks permission to change on the field. What is your decision?

[Ashvir]

You inspect the damage, then decide accordingly

[stubbzy]

he has to go off the field and cant return untill the end of an over

[anthonyant]

^i agree with slogs

[Howzat]

Correct. Players must leave the field to change, no sub can be bought on.


The captain has the field spread right out with a lone slip in place, the light is fading and they are playing for the draw. After each ball the captain (wicket keeper) goes and has a long conversation with slip. What should you do?

[anthonyant]

Talk to the captain to say he has to be ready by the time the batsman are ready and bowler, if he continues then penalty runs?

[Howzat]

Near enough, warn him and if he persists add 5 penalty runs

Here's one:

After striking the ball, an injured batsman runs and makes his ground at the bowler's end while his runner remains in his ground at the wicket keeper's end. The non-striker makes good his ground at the wicket keeper's end. The wicket is put down at the wicket keeper's end. What is your response to an appeal?

a) Not out - everyone is within their ground.
b) Non-striker is Out because runner never left his end.
c) Striker is Out - New batsman should be directed to wicket keeper's end
d) Striker is Out - New batsman should go to the bowler's end.

[ianbuchanan]

C out! Similar thing happened to me after i broke my toe, i was on 59 with 20 overs to go!

[mars]

Haha yeah, you're both correct

[Talisman]

I would have said A, if the non striker has made it to the end where the wicket has been put down then he is safe and the other end should be put down to make a Run Out???

[anthonyant]

same mike because both 'batsman' in play are at the wk end?

[Talisman]

I know that either the striker or his runner can be run out or stumped, but since one has made his ground at the bowlers end that is the wicket that needs to be put down they are all not out.

Wrong Mike. If a batsman has runner, he's not permitted to leave his crease. Therefore he would be out.
