Leg bye

From Cricipedia

Jump to: navigation, search

A Leg bye occurs when the ball hits any part of the batsmens body (minus the glove, unless it is not touching the bat) and the batsmen complete a run.[1][2] Either batsmen can still be run out when attempting to score a leg bye.

An umpire shows that a leg bye has been scored by lifting his knee and tapping it with his hand.[2]

While leg byes are usually scored in every match, they are not that common.
