Each player on either side are at 94 runs. At the end of the match, both score a century. Can someone guess how would that be possible??? -Pravi Praveen_khm Joined on Tue, May 2 2006 Bangalore New Member 08 Cricket

First i thought that the batsman hit a six,( but during the few seconds that it took to get there) the batsmen ran and having crossed the other batsman would face the last ball, and he could hit a six to give them a 100 each but i guess that is too simple. So , Fielders occasionally wear helmets when close fielding, when not is use they often place them on the ground behind the wicketkeeper.If the ball touches the helmet then 5 runs are awarded to the batting side. So if the next to last ball batsman takes a single and the ball touches the helmet on the floor then he would be awarded another 5 runs to give him 100, then the last ball is hit for 6 by the other batsmen that gives both batsmen 100. ( probably not right but it's the best i can come up with.) Eargasms Joined on Sun, Feb 13 2005 Full Member 424 Cricket

So no question of the other player facing the ball. For your second try, when he is awarded 5 runs, again the run which he runs again will not be considered. Cheers, Pravi....... Praveen_khm Cricket

He gets run out next ball with the second batsman at the striker's end....Thesecond batsman hits a six and the match's over...HOWZATT?!?! Regards, ankur...forever...
