Mike Powell cricketerjpg|thumb|200px| Warwickshire batsman Mike Powell]] A batsman in the sport of Cricket is depending on context Any In the Sport of Cricket, an extra is a run scored by a means other than a Batsman hitting the ball. A batsman scoring 50 (a 'half century') or 100 runs (a 'century' or 'ton'), or any higher multiple of 50 runs, is considered a particular achievement. By extension, a partnership of two batsmen moving the team score on by a multiple of 50 runs, or the team score passing a multiple of 50 runs, is also cause for celebration.
Rules
The rules concerning the scoring of runs are mostly contained in Law 18 of the Laws of cricket. The laws of cricket are a set of rules framed by the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC which serve to standardise the format of Cricket matches across the world to ensure The simplest way for a batsman to score a run is by the striker hitting the ball such that both batsman can run from one end of the pitch to the other without either batsman getting out: the batsmen effectively exchanging positions, so the striking batsman becomes the non-striker, and vice versa. The batsmen may be able to run up and down the pitch more than once, crossing each time, to score two, three or more runs. A batsman can also score four or six runs by hitting the ball to or over the boundary, and may be awarded five penalty runs in certain situations. Boundary has two distinct meanings in the Sport of Cricket; (i the edge or boundary of the playing field and (ii a manner of scoring
Thus, according to Law 18, a run is scored when:
- the batsmen, or their runner, at any time while the ball is in play, have crossed and made good their ground from end to end;
- when a boundary is scored;
- when penalty runs are awarded;
- when "lost ball" is called. In Cricket, a runner is a team member who runs between the Wickets for an injured Batsman. Boundary has two distinct meanings in the Sport of Cricket; (i the edge or boundary of the playing field and (ii a manner of scoring In the Sport of Cricket, an extra is a run scored by a means other than a Batsman hitting the ball. In the Sport of Cricket, if a ball in play cannot be found or recovered any fielder may call Lost ball.
Runs are added to the team score, but not the score of an individual batsman, for extras (no balls, wides, byes and leg byes). In the Sport of Cricket a no ball is a penalty against the fielding team usually as a result of an illegal delivery by the bowler. For other uses of the word or acronym see WIDE.

In the Sport of Cricket, the crease is the area demarcated by white A run is "short" if one of the running batsmen fails to make good his ground on turning for a further run (that is, the batsman fails to complete the run by putting some part of his body or his bat on the ground behind the popping crease) – in this event, the number of runs achieved is decreased by the number of "short" runs. For the goalie's crease in hockey see Goal area. In the Sport of Cricket, the crease is the area demarcated by white Although a short run also shortens the next run, since the second run starts somewhat closer to the destination than it should, the second run is not regarded as "short" if it is completed. A batsman taking up his batting stance in front of his crease may also run from that point without penalty.
If either umpire considers that either or both batsmen deliberately run short, the umpire can give a warning to the batsman that this is unfair and disallow any earned runs from that delivery. An umpire in Cricket (from the Old French Nompere meaning not equal i If an umpire considers that any batsmen deliberately runs short again in that innings, a 5 run penalty is conceded to the bowling side.
