how cricket is played, how you read the scores, the runs and all necessary stuff. The excitement at the games really interests me, but i need to know a few rules before investing my time into following the game.

if a player is injured during the course of the game, then when he bats he is permitted a runner to complete the running between the wickets for him.

Caught and bowled isn't a method of dismissal, it's just caught.

Following the 'Bodyline Series' of 1932/33 Down Under, the fielding side are only allowed to place two men behind square on the leg side.

England, under the captaincy of Douglas Jardine used the controversial tactic to aim at the body and head of Australian greats such as Bradman.

===============

the scorecard says caught and bowled.

is there a restriction on the number of balls per over above head height at the moment in first class cricket ?

overthrows - if the fielding team accidently throw the ball to the boudary then the batting team (and the batsman) will score the four runs in addition to any runs which they had completed up to that moment (as oppossed to an instance when the batsman hits the ball directly to the boundary in which case only 4 will be scored).

Or if you are an Indian fielder and throw the ball over the boundary rope, giving the batting side SIX additional runs to any which they have completed?

"the scorecard says caught and bowled."

So? There are 10 methods of dismissal and one of them is caught.

Also, I hate to be an ass (I really don't), but overthrows aren't always four runs.
