(cricket) 2 batsman both having 94 on crease,team needs 7 runs frm last 3 balls,both made 100 not out ,HOW???

Question

this is not a tricky ques,and this was asked at the interview of MNC,(IT),can any body solve this......{avoid wides and no balls as possible in problem...},question is based on sport cricket and based on logic and computation...

Answer 1

which match r u talking abt.

Answer 2

first bat hits a four, then they run a 'five' (but three of these are discounted as 'one short').  This takes him to 100*, takes the score to 1 more to win, puts the other chap on strike and he bashes the last ball for six.

Answer 3

not possible

Answer 4

Many solve answers... thx for giving knowledge

Answer 5

if A batsman hitsa 6 and gets his 100 ,next ball he gets out but the batsman crossed over so a batsman B gets on strike and hits a 6 and gets his 100 too.....

Answer 6

The first batsman hits a shot and runs 3, the fielder then has a go at the stumps and misses and the ball runs over the boundary for 4. The umpire signals that one of the runs was short meaning that the 1st batsman is 100* and at the non striker's end. Batsman 2 then cracks a 6 and goes to his century winning the match and having a ball to spare.

Answer 7

It is only possible if the scorer made a mistake. Or the match is played in pak.

Answer 8

first bat hits a four, then they run a 'five' (but three of these are discounted as 'one short'). This takes him to 100*, takes the score to 1 more to win, puts the other chap on strike and he bashes the last ball for six

Answer 9

Beechy, why don't running 5 be reduced running 3 and one short, it is the same, right? But your idea is great.

Flip side -

you cannot run deliberate short runs, First time you'll warned & the second time 5 runs could be awarded to the fielding side, but in this case batsmen will take the risk and hence feasible. (Law 18.5 - http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/law... )

Amoon, I'm not sure of the penalty runs, I think it is added to the batting side's total and not to the batsman's total. (Law 42.17 states that runs will be added as penalty extras - http://www.lords.org/laws-and-spirit/law... )

Aman, check the Question again, you need the batsmen to stay not out.

Answer 10

Assume the 2 batsmen are called Bill and Joe.

Ball 1--Bill gets 5 runs (If the ball hits the bat and then the helmet placed behind the keeper, the batsman is awarded 5 runs and the batsmen do not have to switch places)

Ball 2--Bill takes a single and reaches his 100

Ball 3--Joe hits a six and reaches his 100
