Cricket scoring - Bowling analysis - Wides with runs

Fig 1

Wides with runs taken.
We can see in "B.Lokes" 4th over the symbols used for runs taken off of Wide Balls.

Fig 2

In this instance "B.Lokes" has bowled a dot ball followed by a wide and the Umpire has called a wide and signaled.

The ball being wide has then rolled across the outfield where there are no fielders and the batters have run a single. You need to watch these situations and not simply react to the wide. If you see the wide being signaled acknowledge it, but pause before looking down to fill in the score-book, make sure the ball is dead before filling in the entry as the batters might pause before setting off and you'll potentially miss the runs made.

In the first instance (2nd ball) the batters have run one and this is indicated by the dot in one of the quadrants of the + symbol Therefore the wide is worth 1 run - indicated by the + symbol. The dot entered into one of the quadrants indicates the run and therefore this wide is 2 runs against the bowler.

The 3rd, 4th and 5th ball of the over is a dot ball and the 6th ball is another wide. On this wide the batters had run 2 runs and 2 dots have been entered into 2 separate quadrant of the + symbol. This wide plus the 2 runs is worth 3 runs.

The final two balls are dots. Note again that there have been 8 deliveries in the over because the bowler has had to bowl another ball for every wide bowled.

The previous over, this bowler "B.Lokes" had gone for 7-0. this now take his figures up to 12-0

previous over -            7
The wide plus 1 run = 2
The wide plus 2 runs =3

Total                            12

Look again at Fig 1 on the RH side of the bowling data in the wides column these runs are also recorded... The 2 and the 3.

Wides are also recorded in the Cumulative Tally and the Extras
