"Extra (cricket) In the sport of cricket, an extra (sometimes called a sundry) is a run scored by a means other than a batsman hitting the ball. Other than runs scored off the bat from a ""no-ball"", a batsman is not given credit for extras and the extras are tallied separately on the scorecard and count only towards the team's score. A game with many extras is often considered as untidy bowling; conversely, a game having few extras is seen as tidy bowling. An umpire may call a ""no-ball"" when the bowler or fielder commits an illegal action during bowling."
"the need for the keeper to stand directly behind the stumps. Byes are relatively rare in one-day cricket, usually making the smallest component of extras in a score. This is because the batsman is more likely to attempt to hit the ball. They are far more prominent in first-class cricket. For example, in the Test series between Australia and England in 2010-11, there were 258 extras in five matches, of which 76 were byes (29.4% of the extras). In the seven one-day and T20 matches that followed between the same sides, there were 262 extras, of which only 10 were"
"boundary without touching the ground within the boundary. In these cases the batsmen do not need to run. Hits for five are unusual and generally rely on the help of ""overthrows"" by a fielder returning the ball. If an odd number of runs is scored by the striker, the two batsmen have changed ends, and the one who was non-striker is now the striker. Only the striker can score individual runs, but all runs are added to the team's total. Additional runs can be gained by the batting team as extras (called ""sundries"" in Australia) due to errors made by"
"Extra innings Extra innings is the extension of a baseball or softball game in order to break a tie. Ordinarily, a baseball game consists of nine innings (in softball and high school baseball games there are typically seven innings; in Little League Baseball, six), each of which is divided into halves: the visiting team bats first, after which the home team takes its turn at bat. However, if the score remains tied at the end of the regulation number of complete innings, the rules provide that ""play shall continue until (1) the visiting team has scored more total runs than"

""See also:"" Extra All extras are credited to the team total, rather than an individual batsmen. They are also referred to as sundries. If a batsman hits a ball which is called a no-ball by an umpire then any runs scored off it are credited to the batsman. One extra run is directly credited to the team as a no-ball extra. If the batsman ""attempts"" to hit (or to avoid being hit by) the ball, but the ball instead strikes the"
"Spectacular mark A spectacular mark (also known as a specky, speckie, speccy, screamer or hanger) is a mark (or catch) in Australian rules football that typically involves a player jumping up on the back of another player. The spectacular mark has become a much celebrated aspect of the sport. Many of the winners of the Australian Football League's annual Mark of the Year competition could be considered 'speckies', and commentators will often call an individual specky ""a contender"" in reference to this competition and the mark's likeliness to win it. Up until the early 1870s, Australian football was typically played"
"Overthrow (cricket) In cricket, an overthrow (sometimes called a buzzer) is an extra run scored by a batsman as a result of the ball not being collected by a fielder in the centre, having been thrown in from the outfield. Overthrows usually occur when a fielder aims unsuccessfully at the stumps in an attempt to run out a batsman, although sometimes they are due to handling errors by the fielder receiving the ball. Runs scored in this manner are counted in addition to any runs already scored before the fielding error took place, and are credited to the batsman. If"
"Super Over A Super Over, also called a one-over eliminator or simply an eliminator, is a tie-breaking method used in limited-overs cricket matches. The super over is a reduced version of the match that consists only of one over (six balls) and two wickets for each team. The official result of the match would be a ""tie"" but within the context of the tournament or series, the winning team of the ""Super Over"" is declared the winner of the match and the victory is seen as equivalent of one earned in a regular match. Runs scored in super overs do"
"Australia Cup (men) was the national second XI competition with playing conditions generally mirroring those of the Pura Cup competition. The Cricket Australia Cup (women) is generally staged as a week-long tournament involving most states and territories. However, with the Futures League came a change of rules with games restricted to 3 days and restrictions of 96 first innings overs and 144 overs in total per side, a four-day Futures League Twenty20 tournament was also added which is played in Melbourne during December. From the 2011–12 season the Futures League has returned to four day matches with no over restrictions"
"runs are scored by both batsmen completing a run from one crease to the other. Bonus runs are scored when the ball hits a net. Bonus scores for particular parts of the nets follow: NB: For bonus runs to be scored, at least one physical run must be scored. The bonus runs are then added to the physical runs. For example, a batsman strikes the ball, hitting the back net on the full (6) and makes one physical run, for a total of 7 runs. Extras/sundries are the same as those in formal cricket and consist of wides, no balls"
"Captain (Australian rules football) A captain of an Australian rules football team, sometimes known as a ""skipper"" is a player who, during the course of a match and off the field, has several additional roles and responsibilities over and above those of a regular player. They are second to the coach and an onfield leader who has various roles including to inspire the players and sometimes address umpires and the media. When a coach appoints multiple captains, the following captaincy roles may be appointed. Before the start of a match, a coin toss between the captains is used to determine"

Examples of official tournaments held under these rules include: Nine-a-side footy Nine-a-side football is a sport based on Australian rules football played informally by Aussie rules clubs but not yet an official sport in its own right. 9-a-side games are sometimes played on half size fields that are typically rectangular or more commonly rugby fields, with 9 players on the field at any one time, typically consisting of 3 forwards, 3 backs and 3 centre players. Often two games are played at the same time on a single Australian Rules or cricket pitch. Other times,"

Traditionally, when a draw occurred during a finals match, the match would be replayed the following week, but the Australian Football League introduced extra time to finals (except for the Grand Final) in 1991 following the logistical difficulties that arose after the 1990 Qualifying Final between Collingwood and West Coast was drawn, and introduced extra time to Grand Finals in 2016. Where used, extra time typically consists of two periods, each five minutes long (plus time-on if applicable), with winner being the team ahead after both periods; if scores are still level at the end"
"Extra-base hit In baseball, an extra-base hit (EB, EBH or XBH), also known as a long hit, is any base hit on which the batter is able to advance past first base without the benefit of a fielder either committing an error or opting to make a throw to retire another base runner (see fielder's choice). Extra-base hits are often not listed separately in tables of baseball statistics, but are easily determined by calculating the sum total of a batter's doubles, triples, and home runs. Another related statistic of interest that can be calculated is ""extra bases on long hits""."
"vertically upwards on a grass surface is unique to Australian Football and the difficulty has been blamed for deterring some from becoming umpires. The ball-up executed in the centre circle at the beginning of each quarter and after each goal is known specifically as the ""centre bounce"". Centre bounces are contested by one nominated ruckman from each team, who attempts to direct the ball to a teammate. Ball-ups can also occur at other locations around the ground. Umpires often have to decide whether a player tackled while in possession of the ball had a prior opportunity to pass the ball"

The mark has been a feature of Australian rules football since the game was codified in 1859.
