In baseball why is the runner on 1st awarded 2nd if a pitched ball lodges between the catcher's chest protector and chest. What rules apply?
The following is copied from MLB rule 5.09(g): " (g) A pitched ball lodges in the umpire's or catcher's mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, runners advance one base;Rule 5.09(g) Comment: If a foul tip hits the umpire and is caught by a fielder on the rebound, the ball is "dead" and the batsman cannot be called out. The same shall apply where such foul tip lodges in the umpire's mask or other paraphernalia.If a third strike (not a foul tip) passes the catcher and hits an umpire, the ball is in play. If such ball rebounds and is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground, the batsman is not out on such a catch, but the ball remains in play and the batsman may be retired at first base, or touched with the ball for the out.If a pitched ball lodges in the umpire's or catcher's mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, on the third strike or fourth ball, then the batter is entitled to first base and all runners advance one base. If the count on the batter is less than three balls, runners advance one base. "
How are points and runs obtained in playing cricket?
You don't get points in cricket, but you do get runs and these are scored when a batsman hits a ball that's bowled at him and the ball goes far away enough to enable him and the batsman the other end to run from one wicket to the other. If they can do that more than once they get a run for each time. But if the ball goes to the boundary they score 4 runs anyway and if the ball goes over the boundary without having touched the ground they score 6.
