What is the right answer to this question?

Sachin is on 99 at non striker end. Ganguly is the striker. 1 ball to go. 1 run to win. How does Sachin complete his century and win the match?

 

One of the questions in the umpire qualification tests apparently.

As for the answer , Sachin will run to the striker's end before bowler hits the delivery stride , lazy Dada standing out of his crease , bowler Mankade's but Ganguly is out as Sachin already reached the striker's crease .

So net result , Ganguly out , deal ball and Sachin will be striker.

I was thinking more on the lines of Ganguly hits a lofted shot...batsman cross over and the ball hits the spider cam so dead ball...not sure if crossing over is allowed in a dead ball...I mean batsman playing with tailenders would have used it more often than?

If it hits spider cam , crossing over is void .So Ganguly will be on strike again.

Yes. Seems like the only answer.

 

Maniac, Most solutions to such questions involves short runs. Not in this case as there is only one ball. Try thinking along these lines if you get a question like this in the exam.

 

One more vague explanation would be that Ganguly hits...runs. ..crosses over....but is hit by the ball trown by the fielder before he completes the run. He collapses on spot and is forced to retire out and the bowling team captain can withdraw the ball and ask for a fresh one. But I am assuming tendulkar is not called back to take the non-striker's end. Very very Stupid I know :cantstop:
