  1. it means that if a bowler no balls by  stepping ahead of the crease then the next ball is a free hit . in taht ball if the batsmen gets out by catch bowled caughtbehind or caught and bowled then it is not out because of free hit .


  2. Hi Megh!

    Many people have given  you the right answer.So no need for mine.

    Bye.

  3. First up a free hit is given to the batsman only when the bowler bowls the No-Ball!!!

    Free hit is given for the No-Ball only when the bowler oversteps the crease while bowling the ball... if the ball is No-Balled apart from overstepping then free hit is NOT given...

    In a free hit the batsman CANNOT be given out except the run-out... so the batsman has the maximum advantage of scoring the max runs...

    Also in a free - hit ball the fields CANNOT be changed if and only if the batsman facing the No-Ball and batsman facing the free-hit ball are same...

    Suppose Sehwag was facing the No-Ball and now taken a single run and now Gambhir is facing the free-hit ball then the fielding CAN be changed... But if sehwag is facing the free-hit ball then fielding CANNOT be changed...

    Happy Cricketing...

    CheerS!!!

  4. free hit is given when the bowler over steps the bowling crease while bowling.free hit means the bats man cn hit the ball any were with out the fear of geting bowled r caught.the opposing team can change there feild seting only if the batsmen hav run across.the only way the bats man cn be out on a free hit ball is run out.

  5. A free hit is awarded to the batsman it is a no ball by the bowler. The ball after the no ball means a free hit. The batsman is not given out if he is bowled or caught in this free hit ball. The only way he can get out is by a run out.

  6. FREE HIT IS GIVEN AFTER THE FRONT FOOT NO BALL IS BOWLED. THE BATSMAN CAN HIT BALL WITHOUT HAVING FEAR OF GETTING OUT.

    THE BALL WILL B CONSIDERED.

  7. hey im a cricket fan, a free hit occurs when a bowler bowls a no ball (he has stepped over his crease on the run up to the bowl) .it is a new rule and i believe it only occurs in 20twenty cricket.when the umpire signals a free hit the batsman cannot get caught or bowled out but...he can get run out-

    hope this helps :)

  8. You get a free hit when the bowler over-steps his blowing line. On a free hit you get to hit the ball with no concquences exceps if you get run out. If you get run out of a free hit you are out

    I hope this information I have provided is useful.

    CHEERS!!!!

  9. it means dat u can and u will not given out.......but u can b runeed out

  10. A free hit is declared after a no-ball in which the bowler's foot crosses that white line ( I don't know what it's called). A free hit is considered as a normal ball, and not as an extra. In a free hit, batsmen can be given out only on a run-out. Therefore, batsmen try to hit as hard as possible.

  11. donot know

  12. it mean that u hit the ball only for six because u only run out no caught,no bold.

  13. free hit means that the boler puts noball they give a free hit n in free hit no catch only run out

  14. FREE HIT : For free hit bowl, batsman can hit anything for that, if it is catch or bowled it will diced not out. Run out only diced.

  15. IT MEANS YOU GET A CHANCE TO HIT A BALL WITHOUT LOOSING ANY BALLS FROM THE OVERS...!!

  16. free hit means an extra ball for the batsmen after the no ball

    in which he cannot get out except for run out..

  17. in one day cricket these days...and even in twenty 20.. when a ball is bowled as a no ball...iif the bowler has overstepped...the the following ball is a free hit...means..the batsmen cant be out in tht ball...and can take a full chance to hit tht ball....

  18. A free hit means that you can hit the ball freeely without any tension.No outs except a run out if the ball is caught not out if you are bowled not out

  19. When its a no ball you get to hit the ball no outs except for run out

  20. when a bowler concedes a no-ball [only by overstepping],the next ball is given as a free hit, in which the batsmen can not fear about his wicket to be gone[except run-out]& no fielding changes can be done.
