Discussion Cricket Puzzles

Correct answer :

Bowler took one wicket and that inning is over.
(Or you can consider he is completing over of another injured player and in next over, inning is completed)

Now, match is tied and in super over, he started bowling, he took 2 wickets .
In super over, 2 wickets down means inning completed.

(Super over is possible in tied matches at ICC ODI tournament knockout stage)

so, 2 out of 3 wickets came from super over, and runs/wickets from super over are not counted in records.

All know that Super over performance are not considered in statistics.
The question is invalid.

Don't consider question invalid if you can't crack it.

Puzzle 2:

One boy was watching match on his mobile.
Team A's score was 45/2 after 12 overs.
He got some call on his phone, after finishing call, he found Team A's score is 45/5 after 12 overs.

He was sure about earlier score, and then he checked scorecard.

He was right, FOW were 45/3(12), 45/4(12), 45/5(12)
and all three wickets fallen by different types of dismissals.

Which were 3 different dismissals in this case?

All 3 wickets are free hit run out

Wrong answer
1 . If continous free hit, then must be no-ball/wide, but score didn't increase
2. all different types of dismissal

3 different types of dismissal

3rd retired out -Did not take permission of umpire before retiring.

Answer is correct, but one thing to correct is about retired out.
When team decides to call one player back (mostly due to slow batting), then it's retired out .

logically, when 2 batsmen out in small time, team would not obviously do that.

So, better option is:
1) retired out (batsman was batting slow)
2) mankanding
3) timed out

Puzzle 3:
In an ODI match, batting team lost 8 wickets on 8 consecutive balls.
All 8 dismissals are of different types. And, wicket order is same as batting order (means batsman #1 is out first, followed by batsman #2, #3 so on...).
How?
(No retired hurt, no absent hurt, no retired out, no extra deliveries, no mankanding, no injuries)

Hint: not necessarily it's from 0.1 over
