Answer Stats
| Question | Answer | % Correct |

| If the bowler's ball dislodges a stump but the bails stay in place, what should the umpire's decision be? | Not out. | 66%
|
| A batsman gets an edge and nicks the ball to the slips, where it is caught. The fielding team do not notice the slight contact with the bat, and do not appeal, but the batsman did. Which statement is true? | The batsman is not out. | 61%
|
| The player who is batting hits the ball with the bat, but it is moving towards the stumps, so the player hits the ball again to keep it away from the stumps. What happens next? | Nothing; play continues as normal. | 52%
|
| A ground has a tree in it, within the boundary ropes. What happens if the ball is struck and hits the tree directly, without bouncing on the ground first? | Four runs are awarded, if the captains and umpires have agreed beforehand that the tree is considered as a boundary. | 32%
|
| The ball is bowled and then deflected by the batsman, and is trundling towards the stumps. Still holding the bat with both hands, the batsman reaches down and pushes the ball away with his hand. What is the decision? | Not out. | 32%
|
| What happens if the bowler hits the batsman on the glove with the ball and it is then caught by a fielder? | He is out if that hand was holding the bat. | 30%
|
| The ball is struck and a fielder goes to intercept it, grabs at the ball, but fails to pick it up, and the ball trundles on. The fielder nonetheless pretends to throw the ball at the stumps. What happens now? | Play goes on, but the fielding team are penalised five runs for unsporting play | 30%
|
| And what happens in the above scenario if that ball bounces off the tree and is caught by a fielder? | Play stopped when the ball struck the tree. Not out. | 25%
|
| What happens if the fielding team deliberately kick the ball over the boundary, as happened in a 2010 test match? | 5 runs are awarded, as a penalty. | 23%
