It is also a type of extra , being the run awarded to the batting team as a consequence of such an illegal delivery.

54-493: A delivery is not a wide if the ball hits the bat or batsman, or if the batsman, by moving, causes the ball to be out of reach. If a ball qualifies as a no-ball as well as a wide, the umpire will call it a no-ball, and not a wide. When a wide is bowled, one extra run is added to the team's total, but not added to a batter's total. If the wicket-keeper fumbles or misses the ball, the batters may attempt additional runs. Any runs scored thus are recorded as wides, not byes . If

If the batters run byes on a wide ball or the ball runs to the boundary for 4, a dot is added in each corner for each bye that is run, typically top left, then top right, then bottom left and finally all 4 corners.

108-446: Is taken the number scored is written within the triangle. The Test wicket-keeper who has conceded least byes per Test (out of all those who have played 10 tests or more) is Denis Lindsay , with 20 byes conceded in the 15 Tests in which he kept wicket; most of the best keepers in this regard have averaged around 3 or 4 byes per Test. Lindsay conceded no byes at all in his last four Tests. The umpire signals byes by raising his arm into
126-463: The Laws of Cricket . A delivery is a wide if it is not sufficiently within reach for the batter to be able to hit it with the bat by means of a normal cricket stroke from where the batter is standing, and also would not have been sufficiently within reach for the batter to be able to hit it with the bat by means of a normal cricket stroke if the batter were standing in a normal guard position . Therefore
144-407: The boundary , the batting team scores four byes, just as if the batter had hit the ball to the boundary for four runs . In the virtually impossible case that a bouncer bounces so high that it flies directly over the boundary without touching the ground, only 4 byes are awarded. If the ball was a wide , any extras are scored as wides and not as byes. Whereas wides and no-balls are considered to be
162-470: The batter hits the stumps with the bat, or the wicket-keeper stumps the batter, the batter would be out and a ‘W’ is added to the WIDE ‘cross’ symbol. If a batter is run out while taking byes on a wide delivery then the number of completed runs are shown as dots and an 'R' is added in the corner for the incomplete run. If the batsman does a switch hit , then the ball may be bowled to either side of them within
180-400: The batters will be unable to complete a run before being stumped or run out by the wicket-keeper. However, if the wicket-keeper fumbles or misses the ball, the batters may be able to score runs safely. These runs are scored as byes : they are added to the team's total, but not to the numbers of runs scored by either batter. If the wicket-keeper misses the ball and it travels all the way to
198-495: The batters, and so an additional delivery must be bowled. Wide balls are considered to be the fault of the bowler, and all wide runs conceded are recorded against the bowler in the bowler's bowling analysis . However, this has only been the case since the early 1980s - the first Test to record wides (and no-balls) against the bowler's analyses was India vs Pakistan in September 1983. An umpire straightens both arms to form

However, some playing conditions make byes more likely, regardless of a wicket-keeper's ability – wayward fast bowling, or an uneven pitch, or the need for the keeper to stand directly behind

252-408: The seven one-day and T20 matches that followed between the same sides, there were 262 extras, of which only 10 were byes (3.8% of the extras). Normally batters never attempt to run byes when the wicket-keeper catches the ball. However, in situations at the end of a game when the batting team must score runs quickly in order to have a chance of winning, the batters may risk running a bye and hope that
270-407: The standard distance without being called a wide. Bye (cricket) In cricket , a bye is a type of extra . It is a run scored by the batting team when the ball has not been hit by the batter and the ball has not hit the batter's body. Usually, if the ball passes the batter without being deflected, the wicket-keeper will catch it. This normally prevents the scoring of runs because
288-454: The stumps. Byes are relatively rare in one-day cricket, usually making the smallest component of extras in a score. This is because the batter is more likely to attempt to hit the ball. They are far more prominent in first-class cricket. For example, in the Test series between Australia and England in 2010–11, there were 258 extras in five matches, of which 76 were byes (29.4% of the extras). In
306-418: The wicket-keeper fumbles the ball or throws it inaccurately when attempting to run a batter out. The usual result of this is a batter's being run out, but sometimes the tactic pays off with a few One Day International matches, and at least one Test , having been won on byes. The conventional notation for a single bye is a triangle with a horizontal edge at the base and a point at the top. If more than one bye
324-409: The wicket-keeper misses the ball and it travels all the way to the boundary , the batting team is awarded five wides. If a wide ball crosses the boundary without touching the ground, only five wides (not seven) are scored - according to Law 19.7, a boundary six can only be scored if the ball has touched the bat. A wide does not count as one of the six deliveries in an over , nor as a ball faced by
