    Batsmen can score runs by running between the wickets after hitting the ball or by hitting boundaries, which result in 4 or 6 runs respectively. The cricket rules also provide ways to score runs through no balls, wide balls, byes and leg byes, where runs are awarded to the batting team but not individual batters. No balls result in one extra run plus any runs scored from the ball. Wides add one run to the batting team score along with any runs from the batsman's shot. Byes are awarded when a ball not called wide or no ball passes the striker for runs, while leg byes result from balls hitting the batsman but not their bat.

    Ways to score runs

    The aim of the batsmen is to score runs. One of the main cricket rules is that for
    batsmen to score runs they must run to each other’s end of the pitch (from one end
    to the other). In doing this one run is scored. Cricket rules state they may run
    multiple runs per shot. As well as running they can also score runs by hitting
    boundaries. A boundary scores the batsmen either 4 or 6 runs. A four is scored by
    hitting the ball past the boundary after hitting the ground while a six is scored by
    hitting the ball past the boundary on the full (before it hits the ground). Cricket rules
    also state that once a 4 or 6 has been scored any runs physically ran by the batsman
    are null & void. They will only obtain the 4 or 6 runs.

    Other ways runs can be scored according to the cricket rules include no balls, wide
    balls, byes & leg byes. Cricket rules state that all runs scored by these methods are
    awarded to the batting team but not the individual batters.

     A “No Ball” can be declared for many reasons: If the bowler bowls the ball
    from the wrong place, the ball is declared dangerous (often happens when
    bowled at the batsmen’s body on the full), bounces more than twice or
    rolls before reaching the batsman or if fielders are standing in illegal
    positions. The batsman can hit a no ball and score runs off it but cannot be
    out from a no ball except if they are ran out, hit the ball twice, handle the
    ball or obstruct the field. The batsman gains any runs scored off the no ball
    for his shot while the team also gains one run for the no ball itself.
     A “Wide Ball” will be declared if the umpire thinks the batsman did not
    have a reasonable opportunity to score off the delivery. However if the
    delivery is bowled over the batsmen’s head it will not be declared a wide
    but a no ball. Umpires are much stricter on wide deliveries in the shorter
    format of the game while being much more relaxed in test cricket. A wide
    delivery will add one run to the batting team and any runs scored by the
    batsman. The batsman is not able to get out off a wide delivery except if
    they are stumped, run out, handle the ball, hit their wicket or obstruct the
    field.
     A “Bye” is where a ball that isn’t a no ball or wide passes the striking
    batsman and runs are scored without the batsman hitting the ball.
     A “Leg Bye” is where runs are scored by hitting the batsman, but not the
    bat and the ball is not a no ball or wide. However no runs can be scored if
    the striking batsman didn’t attempt to play a shot or if he was avoiding the
    ball.
