How many illegitimate balls in an over in a cricket match?
By illegitimate, I presume you refer to a no-ball or a wide. Under current rules an over contains 6 balls. Some years back, 8-ball overs were used in Australia if nowhere else. For an over to be complete, 6-balls not including a wide or no-ball must be bowled. If an illegitimate ball is bowled, it must be rebowled. The most illegitimate balls bowled in one over was an over bowled by Curtly Ambrose in his final test on Australian soil which contained 9 no-balls - a total of 15 balls.

What are the main rules in the sport of cricket?
There are many rules involved in the sport of cricket. Cricket is a game played with a bat and ball. There should be two teams of 11 players. To make sure the rules are obeyed, there are also two umpires present in a game of cricket. To score runs you must hit the ball and then run between the wickets. If you hit the ball to the boundary of the field you score a 4 and over the boundary you score a 6. If the ball hits your legs when you are batting this is called Leg Before Wicket (LBW) and you will be out. In order to get a player 'out', a fielder must catch the ball after it has been hit or throw the ball at the players wickets whilst they are still running. If you bowl the ball too wide, you must bowl it again.

If it hits your leg pad in cricket and is caught is it out?
In general, no. The ball must touch either bat (including the handle) or the hand hold the bat following a legal delivery, then be caught and controlled without touching the ground, for a catch to be a dismissal. Only if the ball clips the both the bat and the pad and is caught, an umpire should rule it out; this will be ruled a catch even if the batsman is out in another way, unless the batsman is also bowled out. There is of course the chance that a batsman was out lbw and then the ball caught with no contact to the bat/hand; they would then be out lbw.
