[edit] No Balls and Wides counted against bowler?

No balls and wides were not originally including in the bowler's score. When was this changed?

In Test cricket, starting from 1983. Different countries adopted it in different seasons. Tintin (talk) 11:09, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why five runs?

The claim here that a penalty is five runs because "while four runs and six runs are common scores, five runs is rather rare" doesn't make a huge amount of sense. Is there a reference for this? 213.249.235.86 14:39, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it sounds very unconvincing. Couldn't find that explanation in the laws or online sources. I'll wait for a day or two and then remove it unless someone finds a citation by then. Tintin (talk) 14:50, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Removed it for now, until someone can find a citation for it. Tintin (talk) 16:56, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
