- Absolutely unelementary. Perhaps you forget that Roy Fredericks
- was out for a duck. Because he fell on the wicket no runs can
- be granted to him.
-
- One of the ways this can happen was mentioned in an earlier post
- -- about ball hitting helmet etcc. But again these would be sundries
-
- This can happen many ways --)
-
- (a) Batsmen run 3 with one run short, there is an overthrow for 4
- runs. The next ball is hit for a six.
- (b) Batsmen run 7 with 1 short. Next ball hit for a six. etc....
-
- There are innumerable combinations which would work.
