However, in an unusual scenario, the batting team was once able to score 7 runs on a leg bye on 1 ball! Add to the scenario that unfolded in the above video, if the bowler had bowled a no-ball by overstepping, the theoretical possibility of scoring maximum runs of a leg bye would be 8 runs in such a scenario. Bye in cricket is the term given to the runs scored by the batsman when the ball is delivered by the bowler but it completely misses his bat, body, or any other part of his equipment however the runs are scored.
Imagine this scenario — The bowler has delivered the ball. Without touching him or his bat, the ball has traveled past the batsman. Now, the ball is headed towards the boundary. A fielder stops it. Meanwhile, the batsmen have taken a run.
Byes in cricket are conceded usually if the wicket-keeper fails to collect the ball or if the bowler has bowled so far away from the stumps that neither the batsman nor the wicket-keeper has any chance to connect with it. Each event has a specific signal in cricket. So is the case for runs scored through a Bye in cricket. The signal given by the umpire for the runs scored from a Bye is by raising one hand over his head as shown in the image.
It is easy to confuse the signal with a six especially for beginners. The difference is that for a six, the umpire has to raise both his arms, however, for a bye the umpire only has to raise one arm. If a bowler bowls a no-ball or a wide ball and the runs are scored, the umpire shall first signal the no-ball or a wide ball first, and then show the signal for a bye. In fact, the Byes are scored against the wicket-keeper as he is considered accountable for missing the ball.
For a Bye to occur, it is only the wicket-keeper who has missed catching the ball. Thus, it is considered against the fielding team not considered for the batsman.
This could happen if the bowler manages to bowl a wide ball or a no-ball, the ball goes towards the third man without hitting the bat or the batsman, and misses the wicket-keeper as well. The fielder collects the ball and throws it towards the wicket-keeper. Meanwhile, the batsmen have scored 3 runs. But, the throw is wayward and the ball runs towards the boundary as 4 overthrows.
In such a scenario, 1 run will be given as wide or a no-ball, 3 runs given to the batsman for running between the wickets and 4 overthrow runs will also be given by the umpire. All the 8 runs conceded will be added to the extras in the scoreboard and will not be given to the batsman.
Runs completed off a bye or leg bye, including boundaries, are added to the extras tally of the batting team but they are not credited against the bowler. In order for a leg bye to be awarded, the umpire must deem that the batsman either attempted to play a stroke or tried to avoid being hit by the ball. If the umpire considers that the batsman did neither of these then a dead ball is called and no runs can be scored. BBC Sport cricket. Sport Homepage. Latest scores. Future tour dates.
