Glamorgan moving themselves into a position where they can declare.

24 wickets now. Unbelievable.

still playing.... someone must have claimed the extra half hour

[Arthur Crabtree]

They are penalty runs though- not credited to the batsman nor debited against the bowler, I think.

Indeed.[/quote]

Unless off the bat.

Penalty runs




A revision of the laws was made in order to punish those who often step out of the line.
The MCC brought in a five-run penalty, but hopefully it will never be invoked and umpires will not have to use it.

It's there in his armoury if the umpire needs it though.

Penalty runs are treated like byes and leg byes as they are added to the extras.

They could come into play for a variety of reasons; things like illegal fielding, time-wasting and the fielders damaging the pitch, though warnings would be given first
Hitting the helmet with the ball normally occurs from an errant throw though it could occur from a direct hit from the
bat now the ramp shot is in vogue.My understanding is they aren't classified as penalty runs but credited as either extras or to the batsman.

according to crapinfo, Gloucs hit one Hogan delivery for 5. Unless this is an error, and it was 5 wides or something, an all run 5 can't happen very often

how does overthrows work? can you run 1 and pick up an additional 4 overthrows? I don't think so, but then I am very dim

Yes. In theory it could equally have been 2 and then 3 run overthrows, or 3 and then 2 run overthrows. But yes, a single and 4 overthrows is most likely.

We picked up three 5s in one innings earlier this year, but that was due to the ball hitting the helmet by the keeper all three times.

okay.. thanks

so batsmen could run 2, with a fielder having a shy... ball goes to the boundary.... 6 runs? I just assumed that it would be 4

I can't recall ever seeing it, but yes I don't see why not. It applies when they run a single, so presumably will also if they run two etc.

That said, I have never agreed with the principle. I have always felt that if an overthrow goes for four (having missed the stumps completely), then that should immediately override any runs scored - rather than being added to them. So your assumption.

(I have purposely added the bit in brackets, because I have equally always felt that the moment the stumps get knocked down, the ball should be dead. The fielding team has clearly done their job by knocking the stumps down. Just because the batsman is in, I don't see why they should then be able to run in the event of the ball deflecting away.)

No wickets so far today at Cheltenham. What's going on?

A slow start to the day but Glamorgan have lost a couple more now, they lead by 97 with 3 wickets left so there's a chance the game might be finished by tea!

Sean Dickson now in the nervous two hundred and nineties.

And he'll have lunch to think about it.

[dan08]

There's his 300!

[Aidan11]

Out for 318.

At cheltenham 25 wickets had fell before that many runs were scored in the match there.

30 wickets down in basically 4 sessions of play

[Arthur Crabtree]

Out for 318.

Best since KP I suspect.
