Dear Beniwalneer,

Well in your case also if first ball goes for a SIX and second is a NO BALL than the match would end and the second batsman will not get a chance to complete his 100. Never the less great try which is important...........

Thanks supriya for thinking out of the BOX…. Good question…!

But for my previous Q many answers came…. Thanks for all who replied. Some of the answers are given..

1st ball:wide and a 4.
total now is 5 runs.
2ball:the batsman takes a single.total s 6 runs

3rd ball:the 2nd batsman on strike scores a six n hence he gets his century.
so both get their centuries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!hope i guessed it rite............

Note: Here the wide goes to Team not batsman. So criteria of both batsman hitting 100 is not met..

Another answer was

Batsman A who's score is 94 scores and reached his hundred. (If the ball hits the bat and then the helmet placed behind the keeper, the batsman is awarded 5 runs)

Batsman B now at the crease.The bowler is going to bowl the last ball of the innings.Team needs 1 run to win and the batsman hits a huge six and got up his hundred.what a winning moment !

Note: Many answers include:
- No-balls. Even one no-ball will mean that the match is over as soon as one batsman gets his century, not giving the other one a chance.
- Ball hitting a helmet on field. The batting team would be awarded five penalty runs which are awarded as extras, not to the batsman's score.

Now Let us come to supriya’s Question

- 7 to win, 2 balls to go, Batsman A (94*) on strike:
Ball is struck, the batsmen run three, but one is disallowed as an accidental short run (because one of the batsmen accidentally fails to make his ground before turning and running back). The fielder chasing the ball then tries to return the ball to the wicket-keeper (the ball is still live at this point) but the keeper doesn't get hold of it and the ball continues to the boundary for four overthrows. Thus the batsman scores six for his century and Batsman B is now at the crease.
- 1 to win, 1 ball to go, Batsman B (94*) on strike:
Ball is hit for six. Batsman B gets his century and his team wins the match.

In another way : Batsman A takes 7runs by running out of which he unintentionally makes a shortrun. It gives only 6 countable runs. A moves to nonstriking end, A finishes his ton, and his team requires 1more run to win...

Now, B does what he needs to do to finish his 100 runs and what his team requires

Note - the short run must be accidental, since in an intentional short run, all runs are disallowed.

Ball 1- One batsman edges the ball and it hits the helmet behind the keeper so five runs as per the rules and not byes becoz its edged from the bat of the batsman so its counted as his runs and not byes.
Ball 2- Single runs taken by Batsman 1 and he reaches his hundred.
Ball 3- Next Batsman hits it for Six and he also eaches hundred.
Note: - As the ball 1 is edged and hits the helmet its counted as batsman's runs and not byes as the rules. its as simple as an edge not taken by the keepr and goes to the boundry is counted as four by the batsman and not four byes.

Dear Friends,

Great thinking by Supriya and i guess the second answer from Mahesh and Kamal are also apt to be correct answer. But i guess in the first answer where the first ball is a wide than you cannot hit it to four. Hope you all know that wide will be given when the ball is out of reach of batsman. Anyways great question, lets keep it going to find can we find any other solution for the same.......

I have figured out one more solution...

1st ball: Batsman A hits the ball for 6 and gets his muscle pulled in doing so... but since he's hit a six, he completes his century... he is retired hurt...

New Batsman takes over...

2nd ball: New batsman hits the ball and runs for 1 run but is caught out. BUT the 2 batsmen have already crossed each other... so now the Batsman B is on strike..

3rd Ball: Batsman B hits the ball for 6, completes the century and win the game...

Dear Supriya,

This is really a great answer. But with Kamal's answer i guess the runs will certainly go to the batsman also let me get it clarified. Never the less another great answer...

Dear Supriya,
As the ball's edged by the batsman its always counted as batsman's runs rather than extras. if he would have missed the ball and it would have hit the helmet than it would have been five byes. good alternate answer by Supriya again. Its shows that a problem can be solved by various means only difference is to put in an effort to do so.

Kamal.
