Question 2.
(i) Enumerate any six duties of a leg Umpire. [2]
(ii) State any three variations of pace bowling. [2]
(iii) What is meant by the term Bad-Light? [3]
(iv) Explain the term “Hitting the ball twice” in Cricket. [3]
Answer:
(i) Three duties of leg umpire are:
1. No ball’ if it is over than the height of shoulder of batsman.
2. ‘Run Out’ if the bat of batsman has, not touched the popping crease.
3. ‘Wide ball’ if the ball goes over the head of a batsman or wide of the wicket.
4. Stumping decisions
5. To see the run out
6. To give decision on Hit wicket
(ii) Three variations of pace bowling:
1. Out swing: Outswing is defined as a delivery, delivered to a right-handed batsman in which the ball is moving far to the off side while in flight, generally outwards from his body. To a right-handed batsman an outswing can be delivered by aligning the seam narrowly to the left towards the slips and placing the roughened side of the ball on the left.
2. In swing: Inswing is defined as a delivery delivered to a right-handed batsman in which the ball is moving in to the leg side while in flight, generally inwards towards his body. To a right-handed batsman an inswing can be delivered by aligning the seam narrowly to the right and placing the roughened side of the ball on the right.
3. Leg cutter: A leg cutter is a type of delivery in the sport of cricket. It is bowled by fast bowlers. A bowler releases a normal spin delivery with the wrist locked in position and the first two fingers positioned on top of the cricket ball, giving it spin about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the length of the pitch.
(iii) Bad Light: When the light is not sufficient to play it is known as bad light. The Umpire judge that light is too poor to allow the game to continue in safety. A batsman can appeal if he feels it is too dangerous to play on.
(iv) Hitting the ball twice: 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.
Question 3.
(i) State the difference between a Dot-ball and a Dead-ball. [2]
(ii) What is the importance of the thirty yard circle? [2]
(iii) Explain the term Bump-ball. [3]
(iv) List any four protective equipment used in a game of Cricket. [3]
Answer:
(i) When no run is scored on the ball it is called Dot ball the reason why it is called a dot ball is that in the scorebook if a batsman did not score any runs, it is recorded with a single dot, hence, the name dot ball whereas when the ball is not in play it is called Dead ball.
(ii) Thirty yard circle: In the limited over match thirty yard circle is used for the restriction of fielding. In mandatory power play two fielders remain outside and in batting power play three fielders remain outside thirty yard circle. The ‘close-infield’ comprises of two semi-circles of 15 meters in diameter and they sit within the 30-yard circle. This is used to delineate where those fielding in close proximity to the batsmen, including slips and those in ‘silly’ positions can be found.
(iii) Bump ball: A ball after playing with bat bounces under the bat, very close to batsman’s foot is called bump ball. It appears to have come directly from the bat without ground contact. Since the bounce on the pitch is imperceptible to many spectators, some may think the batsman is out if the ball is caught in the air.
(iv) Protective equipment’s in the game of cricket are:
1. Helmet: A head gear for the batsman/keeper while batting or wicket keeping behind the stumps. It is a mix of metal and hard plastic. It has a metallic grill in the front to protect the face.
2. Gloves: Typically consisting of a leather palm and back made of nylon or another synthetic fabric. This glove is smaller and softer on the outer part when compared to keeper glove. It is used to hold the bat firmly. The finger part of glove has extra protection with hard sponge on the outer area.
3. Pad: They are made with cloth and leather. The front portion of the pads is very hard as there is hard plastic or wood sticks beneath. The rear portion is spongy and soft to soothe and comfort legs. Keeper pads are little shorter than batsman pads.
4. Chest guard and Elbow guard are used in order to protect the body during the play so that the damage from the fast moving ball can be minimised.
Question 4.
(i) What do you mean by ball tampering? [2]
(ii) What is the difference between a hook shot and a pull shot? [2]
(iii) Define the term “The danger-area”. [3]
(iv) What is Clean-bowled? [3]
Answer:
(i) It is an action in which a fielder illegally alters the condition of the ball. The primary motivation of ball tampering is to interfere with the aerodynamics of the ball. Few ways of ball tampering are rubbing the ball on the ground. Polish with substance like hair gel, lip balm.
(ii)
| Hook Shot | Pull Shot |
| The term hook shot is used when the shot is played against a ball bouncing at or above chest high to the batsman. | A pull is a cross battled shot played to a ball bouncing around waist height by swinging the bat in a horizontal area in front of the body. |
(iii) The danger area (or protected area) is the central portion of the pitch – a rectangle running down the middle of the pitch, two feet wide, and beginning five feet from each popping crease. Under the Laws of Cricket, a bowler must avoid running on this area during his follow-through after delivering the ball. During the course of a game, a bowler’s follow through will create rough. This is a natural element of cricket and, towards the end of a cricket match that rough can aid the spin bowlers.
Rough will naturally occur outside of off or leg stump but, if it is too central, then the bowlers are considered to have an unfair advantage. Bowlers could intentionally create rough by following through too close to the middle stump and that’s why the protected area is in place. Towards the end of an innings, batsmen could also transgress on the danger area to give their bowlers an unfair advantage later on.
(iv) If the batsman misses the ball and its hits and breaks the wicket directly from the bowler’s delivery then it is known as clean bowled, with variations of this being bowled through the gate, where the ball travels between the bat and pad, or bowled around the legs, where the ball goes behind (to the leg side of) the batsman and hits the stumps.

The referee has a split-second to determine which player arrived at the spot first when the contact is made.

4. Team foul markers: The two team foul markers provided for scorekeeper shall be of red colour. It is used to indicate the number of team fouls up to five and to show that a team has reached the team foul situation.
(iv) Blocking: In basketball, a block or blocked shot occurs when a defensive player legally deflects a field goal attempt from an offensive player to prevent a score. The defender is not allowed to make contact with the offensive player’s hand (unless the defender is also in contact with the ball) or a foul is called. In order to be legal, the block must occur while the shot is traveling upward or at its apex.
A deflected field goal that is made does not count as a blocked shot and simply counts as a successful field goal attempt for shooter plus the points awarded to the shooting team. For the shooter, a blocked shot is counted as a missed field goal attempt. Also, on a shooting foul, a blocked shot cannot be awarded or counted, even if the player who deflected the field goal attempt is different from the player who committed the foul.
