(iii) Mention three situations when a team’s innings is said to be complete. [3]
(iv) Identify the colour of the cricket ball used in test and one day matches. What is the reason behind using coloured balls? [3]
Answer:
(i) In the game of cricket if a ball in play cannot be found or recovered any fielder may call it a lost ball. When “lost ball” is called the batting side fixes a penalty that would have been in fact run before the call of lost ball was made.
(ii) Three instances when a ball is considered as a dead ball are:
1. The umpire is satisfied that, with adequate reason, the batsman is not ready to receive the ball and makes no attempt to play it.
2. When batsman is declared out.
3. When the ball crosses the boundary line.
(iii) Three situations when a team’s innings is said to be complete are:
1. When over or days get over.
2. When the batsman of batting team are all out.
3. When the choosing team completes the score of batting team.
(iv) In test matches, the uniform worn by the players is of white colour thus the red coloured ball becomes more visible in the play for everyone. One day matches are usually held overnight, under flood lights, thus making the white coloured ball visible at night.
Question 3.
(i) Mention any three instances when a bowler does not get credit for wickets being taken. [2]
(ii) State any three situations where a batsman can be declared out even when a ‘no ball’ has been bowled. [2]
(iii) What is meant by ‘extra runs’? Give two examples of extra runs. [3]
(iv) State any two conditions due to which a pitch may be changed. [3]
Answer:
(i) Three instances of batsman being out when bowler gets no credit are:
1. Run out: A run out usually occurs when the batsmen are attempting to run between the wickets, and the fielding team succeed in getting the ball to one wicket before a batsman has crossed the crease line near the wicket.
2. Hit wicket: If, in attempting to hit a ball or taking off for a first run, the batsman touches and breaks the wicket. This includes with the bat or dislodged pieces of the batsman’s equipment – even a helmet or spectacles.
3. Timed out: If a new batsman takes longer than two minutes, from the time the previous wicket falls, to appear on the field.
(ii) Batsman out on a no ball:
1. Run out: If a batsman is attempting to take a run, or to return to his crease after an aborted run and a fielder breaks that batsman’s wicket with the ball while he is out of the crease. The fielder may either break the wicket with a hand which holds the ball, or with the ball directly.
2. Hits the ball twice: If a batsman hits a delivery with his bat and then deliberately hits the ball again for any reason other than to defend his wicket from being broken by the ball. If the ball is bouncing or rolling around near the stumps, the batsman is entitled to knock it away so as to avoid being bowled, but not to score runs.
3. Obstructs the field: If a batsman deliberately interferes with the efforts of fielders to gather the ball or affect a run out. This does not include running a path between the fielder and the wicket so that the fielder cannot throw the stumps down with the ball, which is quite legal, but does include any deliberate attempt to swat the ball away.
(iii) Runs which are added in team score but not in batsman’s score are called extra runs. Extras are runs scored by means other than when the ball is hit by a batsman. Extras are not credited to any batsman, and are recorded by the scorer separately. The total number of runs for the innings is equal to the sums of the individual batsmen’s scores and the extras. Example: Leg bye, Bye and No ball
(iv) Two conditions due to which the pitch can be changed are:
1. When the ball is bouncing very high or uneven.
2. When the condition of pitch is not good for playing.
Question 4.
(i) Briefly explain the term an overthrow. [2]
(ii) When is a ‘follow on implemented during the course of a test match? [2]
(iii) What is the umpire’s decision in the following cases:
(a) When a batsman obstructs a fielder trying to catch the ball?
(b) When a batsman hits the ball intentionally twice in succession? [3]
(iv) Mention the length of the cricket pitch. [3]
Answer:
(i) An overthrow is an extra run scored by a batsman as a result of the ball not being collected by a fielder near the pitch area and the ball continues into the outfield again, the batsman may take more runs, If the ball reaches the boundary on an overthrow, four runs are scored in addition to the runs taken before the overthrow occurred.
(ii) Follow on: In a two-innings match of 5 days or more the side which bats first and leads by at least 200 runs shall have the option of requiring the other side to follow their innings.
The team which bats first and leads by:
1. 200 runs in – 5 or more days match
2. 150 runs in – 3 days match
3. 100 runs in – 2 days match
(iii) Umpires decision:
(a) Out – Obstruction to the fielder.
(b) Out – Hit the ball twice.
(iv) Length of pitch is = 66 fts. (22 yards)
In the game of cricket, the cricket pitch consists of the central strip of the cricket field between the wickets. It is 22 yards (20.12 m) long (1 chain) and 10 ft (3.05 m) wide.

(iv) Explain the term” A Suspension”. [3]
Answer:
(i) Three fundamental skills in hockey are:
1. Passing: Passing is more frequently to be used than dribbling. The pass is the soul of hockey game. It means to send the ball from one’s control to the control of the team-mate by using any stroke with the aim of gaining ground or to beat a defender directly or indirectly. Through passes are to be preferred when the opposition of marking closely, but short inter-passirig is more appropriate where there is strong defence.
2. Trap: A defensive tactic in which the defending team clogs up the rink’s neutral zone, making it difficult for the puck-carrying team to skate through the neutral zone and penetrate the attacking zone. The trap is often called the neutral zone trap because this is the section of the ice it occurs on. It takes place when the opposition has the puck in their own end and are attempting to carry it through the neutral zone and then into the attacking zone.
3. Shooting: A shot is any attempt made by a player to score a goal. Shooting is easily the most common way for goals to be scored. It is done using the feet, using the head, i.e. heading the ball, is the second most common way in which goals are scored. The player, regardless of his playing position on the field, must be playing the ball in such a manner that his actions could result in his scoring on the opposing team’s goal. Where he is on the field, the speed of the shot, and the placement of the other players, both on his team and the opposing team, are irrelevant – as long as he can legally score a goal from his spot on the field.
(ii) Comer push: It is a technique of attack with in the hockey field when the ball is pushed involving the penalty comers. The ball is dragged or pushed over the playing surface by the hockey stick for some
distance and then released in the direction of the trapper. The trapper then propels the ball back into the circle for phase three to commence.
(iii) Dribbling: It is running with the ball while shifting it right and left and keeping it in perfect control so as to pass it at any time or change its direction to beat a player. Keep the left hand at the top and right hand at the middle of the stick. The left hand grip is firm and the right hand grip is loose. Body forward bending and the body weight on the right foot. Tap the ball with the middle portion of the blade diagonally towards left and bring the left foot forward in the left hand and loosen the right hand grip.
(iv) A suspension: When the player commits an intentional foul, referee asked him to leave the play. It is of two types – Temporary and full game. When necessitated by circumstances not within the control of the players, the umpire may suspend play for such a period as the umpire may consider it necessary.
1. Under special circumstances, the Referee may instruct the umpire to suspend play.
2. If play is suspended, the existing score shall stand and play shall be resumed from that point.

Answer:
(i) Duties of the Referee are:
1. To determine who gets the point.
2. The referee of a badminton game ensures fair and unbiased game play and to make the game as fair as possible.
3. The referee is directly in the middle of the court and watches out to see if the players touch the net with their racket or if someone hits it when it is on the other player’s side with their racket over the net or to determine which side the shuttle lands on.
(ii) The front area of the court, usually considered in between the net and the short service line is known as the forecourt whereas Back area of the court is known as the Backcourt.
(iii) The service courts are changed by the servicing side only when a point is scored. In all other cases, the players continue to stay in their respective service court from where they played previous rally. This shall guarantee alternate server.
(iv) Follow-through: The smooth continuation of a stroke after the racket has contacted the bird. The player’s body should face sideways, not the front. The arm of the racket should move towards the back and extend the player’s chest to the widest extent possible to ensure he can do a full swing. The player should lift up his non-racket arm as he stretches his racket arm towards the back. The non-racket arm plays an important role in maintaining body balance. Without good balance, there’s no way he can execute the correct technique for this stroke.
