Extras: Additional runs can be gained by the batting team as extras (called "sundries" in Australia) due to errors made by the fielding side. This is achieved in four ways: 1) No ball: It is a penalty against the fielding team, usually as a result of an illegal delivery by the bowler. There are two ways by which the the bowl delivered is called as no ball. One is if the bowler over steps the crease while delivering the bowl and another is if the bowl which is delivered is full tosh ball above the waist height. 2) Wide: There are two ways by which the bowl deliveres is called as wide ball. One is if the ball while  being delivered by a bowler too wide and another is if it is too high to be hit by the batsman, and ruled so by the umpire. 3) bye: an extra awarded if the batsman misses the ball and it goes past the wicket-keeper and gives the batsmen time to run in the conventional way. leg bye is also considered as bye run if the ball has hit t

Bowling: Most bowlers are considered specialists in that they are selected for the team because of their skill as a bowler, although some are all-rounders and even specialist batsmen bowl occasionally. The specialist bowlers are active multiple times during an innings, but may not bowl two overs consecutively. If the captain wants a bowler to "change ends", another bowler must temporarily fill in so that the change is not immediate. A bowler reaches his delivery stride by means of a "run-up" and an over is deemed to have begun when the bowler starts his run up for the first delivery of that over, the ball then being "in play".Fast bowlers, needing momentum, take a lengthy run up while bowlers with a slow delivery take no more than a couple of steps before bowling. The fastest bowlers can deliver the ball at a speed of over 150kilometres per hour and they sometimes rely on sheer speed to try and defeat the batsman, who is forced to react very quick
