5). The striker ducks a short delivery that does not bounce as much as he expects. the ball hits his helmet and flies off, landing straight over the boundary behind the wicket keeper. How many runs are scored?

6). The striker blocks a fair delivery so the ball is just inches in front of his stumps. The batsmen take a quick single. The fielders are so slow to react that the batsmen come back for a second run. In the scramble to make his ground, the striker knocks the ball onto his stumps, breaking the wicket, before a fielder can reach the ball. How would you answer an appeal?

7). The wicket keeper, standing back, takes a delivery which the striker fails to play and which also does not touch the striker's person. Seeing the striker out of his ground, the wicket keeper throws the ball at the stumps but misses them. The ball goes on to cross the boundary. What do you do?
