simon your obviously ready for the next questions! the next three are all related so here goes

notchers 4:
The bowlers end umpire calls and signals wide ball and the ball goes on to cross the boundary. at the same time the stiker's end umpire calls and signals no ball because there are three fielders behind the line of the popping crease on the on side. How many wide balls should be recorded by the scorer?

notchers 5:
......and how many runs should be added to the total?

notchers 6:
..... and how many seperate signals should the scorer acknowledge?

OK, by my counting, 3 signals made, 2 of which are to be acknowleged. Exactly how, without the use radios or mobile phones is anyone supposed to know which signals are being recognised, or do we get into an element of trust in the scorers ability ?

This Quiz assumes you have scorers who are just scorers not! players doing it for 10 overs etcc.....
And ALL signals should be acknowledged by the scorer and The umpire should only stop doing them when they have been acknowledged to his satisfaction!!!!!

I mostly agree with Steve.

4. No wides

5. five runs (all no balls)

6. If we are talking about proper umpires. The scorer should not acknowledge the wide or no ball signals that the umpires make while the ball is in play. Once the ball is dead (i.e. gone over the boundary) the strikers end umpire should again signal no ball which should be acknowledged and then the bowlers end umpire should signal four which the scorer would acknowledge. Therefore answer is two.

all probably true simon, the thing i'm not sure of is whether the bowlers end umpire has to cancel the wide call! also re-reading the question i'm not sure when the no ball is called! one way of reading it is the no ball is called as the ball crosses the boundary! and in all likely the events would be wide signalled and acknowledged then 4 signalled and acknowledged and then no ball acknowledged and then the wide is cancelled! another signal and acknowledgement possibly!!! depends on the sequence of events and time between them
i think your version is how the questioner meant it to be......

Notchers 8:A forty minute lunch interval is scheduled to start at 1.15pm. an innings finishes at 1.07pm at how many mintues after 1 o'clock should play resume?
