Rules & scoring
Follow the ball, the signal and the score. These case studies separate decisions that look similar on television but change the score in different ways.
Overs and legal balls: read the innings clock correctly
Turn 14.2 overs into a real ball count, follow an over with extras, and calculate a rate without treating cricket notation as a decimal.
Read the fieldnoteWides, no-balls and extras: follow the whole delivery
Understand what the extra changes, who receives the runs, and why a free hit belongs to the competition's playing conditions.
Read the fieldnoteByes and leg-byes: trace the contact before the runs
Distinguish a missed ball from body contact, understand the attempt requirement, and avoid using extras as a shortcut for blaming the keeper.
Read the fieldnoteRun-outs and stumpings: identify the decisive moment
Read a close crease replay through ground, wicket-breaking and dismissal conditions, including the no-ball exception that often causes confusion.
Read the fieldnoteLBW explained as a decision path
Keep pitching, first impact and the projected wicket separate, then understand what a review does with a marginal finding.
Read the fieldnoteCatches and boundaries: follow control, contact and the rope
Learn why a catch is a sequence rather than a still image, and how to inspect ordinary rope contact and the ICC's stricter airborne-return requirement.
