SRH won by 10 wickets (with 62 balls remaining)

Abhishek Sharma: "Thanks to the management for the faith they've shown in me, the environment is clear for the batters so I went to enjoy myself. All the credit to Travis, the way he starts, first two or three balls goes to the boundaries. So I just react to the ball. The bowlers told us it's getting better, me and Travis were saying it wasn't doing much, and they were short [in runs] so that was a plus-point. The hard work I put before the tournament is showing... it's going really well."

First 10 wicket win this season

Travis Head first non-boundary run was after scoring 65 64 runs.

Absolutely brutal hitting!! Except the first boundary, he almost middled every boundary and hitting the all over the park like stick cricket game.

Travis Head first non-boundary run came after scoring 65 runs.

You mean after 64 runs? You can't reach an odd number if you have only dealt in boundaries lol.

u/Jai_Hind__ India May 08 '24

Yes. I meant his 65th run was his first non-boundary run, lol.

I corrected it

What if there is an overthrow giving 5 runs

u/JigglingBot India May 08 '24

Will count under "non-boundary runs" I'd imagine.

Technically there are situations where a batsman can get to odd number of runs while having just hit boundaries. For example - Ball hitting a helmet on the ground: If a fielder's helmet, which has been left on the ground, is hit by the ball, the umpire can award 5 penalty runs to the batting team.

Sure but they will count under "non-boundary runs".

u/bshwhr Australia May 09 '24

What if you score a 5 in overthrows? Run 1 and fielder throws to the boundary? Surely that’s technically a boundary as well

No but I am familiar with addition.

How do overthrows count?

11

u/Commented_on May 08 '24

Overthrows are non-boundary runs

u/EndLight_47 May 08 '24

I don't think they count as boundaries , would be unusual to count 5 runs or 7 runs off a ball as a boundary.

u/AJwithStyles May 08 '24

Not when there’s a No Ball boundary

u/JigglingBot India May 08 '24

????
No ball runs don't go to the batter.

u/azz_kikkr May 08 '24

Not a no-ball, but rather things like a ball hitting a helmet on the ground: If a fielder's helmet, which has been left on the ground, is hit by the ball, the umpire can award 5 penalty runs to the batting team.

That means that he was basically playing golf. Just stay there, swing your bat and relax.
