BETWEEN THE POINTS

See the situation.
Make the decision.

159 questions mix rules, terminology, match situations and established history. Ten are drawn for each round. Questions are used before repeating within this page session; reloading begins a new shuffle.

MCC Laws provide the foundation. Format-specific questions identify Test, ODI or T20; ICC playing conditions can differ from the general Laws.

01

Separate runs from wickets

A score of 80/3 describes runs and wickets, not overs. A boundary four and a six differ by whether the ball has bounced before crossing the boundary.

02

Name the format

Test cricket allows a very different contest from a 20-over chase. Check the format before answering about innings, overs or fielding restrictions.

03

Read the dismissal

Bowled, caught, run out and LBW have different conditions. A bat edge, the delivery type and where the ball pitches can change the answer.

WARM-UP CALL

A delivery is called no-ball. Does it count as one of the six valid balls in the over?

Reveal the answer

No. A no-ball does not count as a valid ball of the over. The batting side also receives the no-ball penalty; other runs can be added.

Build a better round

Start with 30 seconds per question for a quick challenge. Choose 60 seconds for more thinking time, or practice without a countdown. An unanswered timed question earns no point and reveals the correct answer. There is no penalty for an incorrect choice beyond the missed point.

After ten questions, open the answer review to revisit mistakes. Replay continues through the remaining question bank. Progress is kept only in the current page session.
