| 25 balls | correct answer = 4 runs | max score 100

  1. A fair delivery pitching outside off, turns, strikes the batsman outside the line of off stump as he makes no attempt to play it. The ball would've gone on to hit the stumps.

  2. The striker dives to ground his bat behind the popping crease following a run; his bat makes the ground, but bounces up such that it is not grounded when the ball hits the stumps.

  3. Well out of his ground, the striker can only watch as the wicket-keeper breaks the wicket with the elbow of the hand in which he holds the ball.

  4. With three fielders behind square on the leg side, the striker makes poor contact with the ball, and then, frustrated with his shot, kicks the ball away.

  5. The non-striker dives to make his ground; when the bails are fairly dislodged. He has dived full length and places his bat on the popping crease as the bails come out of 1 groove and then his bat crosses the crease as the bail comes out of both grooves.

  6. On a fair delivery, the batsman successfully plays his shot into a gap, and sets off for a run, dislodging a bail with his foot as he does so.

  7. In his delivery stride, the bowler accidentally kicks the bail from the non-striker's wicket; the striker, unperturbed, plays a shot which is caught at cover.

  8. The delivery is called wide, and the batsman neither attempts a run nor makes his ground as the ball rebounds from the keeper's helmet onto his stumps; he then makes his ground.

  9. The batsman misses the ball whilst standing on, but not behind, the popping crease; the ball rebounds off the wicket-keeper's pads and takes out leg stump.

  10. The batsman edges a fair delivery, and the wicket-keeper tries to catch it; instead, it lodges in his pads.

  11. A fast bowler delivers a bouncer; realising he cannot get out of the way in time, the batsman defends himself from injury by blocking the ball with the hand not holding the bat, and the ball is caught by a close in fielder.

  12. Just in from the rope, a fielder taps the ball into the air before stepping on the boundary, and a teammate who is inside the boundary completes the catch. The delivery is fair.

  13. A fair delivery is hit straight at a fielder who, cap in hand, is mopping his brow; seeing the ball come at him, he catches the ball with both hands whilst also clutching his hat at the same time.

  14. Having charged down the wicket but missed the ball, the batsman makes a desperate lunge into his crease; he averts the stumping, but breaks the wicket with his bat in the process.

  15. A ball which would've gone on to hit the wickets bounces twice outside off stump before striking the batsman's shin in line with the wicket.

  16. The bowler delivers a slower ball which the batsman misses; it strikes the off stump, and the bail slips from the top of off, but remains on top of middle stump.

  17. Having blocked a fair delivery, the batsman realises that the ball is bouncing towards his stumps, and so he prevents it from doing so by tapping the ball away with his bat and then foot.

  18. On a fair delivery, the striker swings at the ball and edges it into the short leg fielder's helmet; it glances off the helmet and is caught by the keeper.

  19. Off a no-ball, the batsman misses the ball down a leg side wide. The batsman assumes the keeper has also missed the ball and so takes a few step outside his crease looking for the ball. The keeper whips off the bails whilst the batsman is out of his crease.

  20. A fair delivery from a leg spinner pitches outside leg stump, strikes the batsman's foot directly in line with the stumps, and would have gone on to hit the wicket. The batsman played a defense shot with his bat hidden behind his pad.

  21. Thomas, a left arm bowler, bowls right-armed without telling the umpire; the delivery pitches outside off, strikes the batsman's pads in line with the wicket and would have hit the stumps.

  22. Following the fall of a wicket in a T20, the new batsman, comes to the crease, but, 2 minutes later, is still not ready to face the next delivery as Finlay's thigh pad is on the outside of his trousers.

  23. After the striker hits a ball high in the air, and a fielder positions himself to catch the ball, the non-striker shouts an obscenity which distracts the fielder, who drops it.

  24. A fair delivery ricochets from the batsman's foot (hit on the full) to his knee; impact was in-line both times, but only the strike on the knee would've gone on to hit the wicket.

  25. The umpire miscounts, and allows a 7th ball to be delivered; the bowler's fair delivery knocks over middle stump. The scorer signifies it was the 7th ball.
