Bye and Leg bye

If a ball that is not a no ball or wide passes the striker and runs are scored, they are called byes. If a ball that is not a no ball hits the striker but not the bat and runs are scored, they are called legbyes. However, legbyes cannot be scored if the striker is neither attempting a stroke nor trying to avoid being hit. Byes and legbyes are credited to the teams but not the batsmans total.
