How many scores one can get in cricket match on one ball with all possibilities?

Question

the ball must be valid!

i.e no No Ball.

Answer 1

yes it is 9!!!

ball hits the wk's helmet on a bye and goes for four!!!

it will be 5 runs for hitting the helmet then 4 byes

Answer 2

is it really 9..

i do not think so.. max is 5 because if it hits the helmet then its 5 runs, and the ball is dead now.. so no more runs even it crosses the boundary.

Answer 3

There is an infinate number of runs because the battmen can just carry on running between the wikets. The feilders could keep doing over throws and stopping it on the boundry the overthrowing it again and again and again.

Answer 4

9

ball hits the helmet and runs away for four

is six possible after hitting helmet?

Answer 5

infinity,

consider a situation where the sequence of overthrow never ends.

Just a possibility, you should be insane to do that.

Answer 6

6

Answer 7

its from 0 to infinity because when hit a shot batsmen run filder through a over through batsmeb run again filder again over throughs the ball batsmen runs again and so on.....

BUT "9" if no overthroughs

Answer 8

Once the ball hit the helmet, you get 5 runs and the ball is dead after that. So you cant get a four also.

And infinity is the right answer since there's no limit like u can take only 4 runs by running or so......
