Leg byes not to be awarded
If in the circumstances of 2(a) above, the umpire considers that neither of the
conditions (i) and (ii) has been met, then Leg byes will not be awarded. The
batting side shall not be credited with any runs from that delivery apart from
the
one run penalty for a No ball if applicable. Moreover, no other penalties shall
be awarded to the batting side when the ball is dead. See Law 42.17 (Penalty
runs). The following procedure shall be adopted.
a) If no run is attempted but the ball reaches the boundary, the umpire shall
call and signal Dead ball, and disallow the boundary.
b) If runs are attempted and if
i) neither batsman is dismissed and the ball does not become dead for any other
reason, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as one run is
completed or the ball reaches the boundary. The batsmen shall return to their
original ends. The run or boundary shall be disallowed.
ii) before one run is completed or the ball reaches the boundary, a batsman is
dismissed, or the ball becomes dead for any other reason, all the provisions of
the Laws will apply, except that no runs and no penalties shall be credited to
the batting side, other than the penalty for a No ball if applicable.
