Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Can a batman be given out stumped off a wide ball?

Answer: Yes

Certainly can, deliberate leg side wides are often employed by spin bowlers against advancing batsmen to get them out stumped.
2. Can a batsman be out caught off a wide ball?

Answer: No

It's not a wide ball if the batsman hit it.
3. How many penalty runs are awarded if the ball in play strikes a fielding sides' helmet while on the ground?

Answer: five

Can often happen if the 'keeper fumbles the ball.
4. Can a batsman be given out leg before wicket if the ball hits his pad outside the line of off stump?

Answer: Yes

If the ball didn't pitch outside leg stump, the ball was going to hit the stumps and if the batsman didn't attempt to play a shot.
5. In a two day, two innings match, the first innings lead of the team batting first must be at least how much before they can enforce the follow on?

Answer: 100

If the first day of a 3-day match is washed out, the lead required is as for a 2-day match, 100 runs.
6. If the batsman has run seven runs at the time when "lost ball" is called, how many runs shall the batting side be awarded?

Answer: seven

Law 20 deals with a lost ball, a quaint relic from pre lawnmower days...
7. Does the bowler get credit for a batsman out by way of "obstruction of the field"?

Answer: No

Hmmm, can't recall this mode of dismissal ever happening.
8. The wicket is "down" if a bail is dislodged but falls back into its groove.

Answer: False

If by divine providence the bail returns to its former spot, it is a temporary dislodgement and the batsman will live to face another ball.
9. If the bowler decides to change from bowling with the left arm to the right arm and fails to notify the umpire, what is the correct call by the umpire?

Answer: no ball

Not sure of too many bowlers capable of doing this.
10. Which is the maximum number of fielders, besides the 'keeper, allowed on the on side behind the popping crease at the point of delivery?

Answer: 2

Possibly written in response to "leg theory".
