Basic level, Part A, November 9, 2002. All questions are based on the Laws of Cricket 2000 Code and NCCA Standing Rules. Some questions have been edited for clarity. Assume you are the umpire at the bowler's end, unless the question states otherwise. Time allowed: 45 minutes. Question 1:.

Question 3:. Mid-way through an over, you have called Dead ball and walk over to consult your colleague at striker's end.

What are your actions?
Question 4:. With three overs to go in the match, you call Over and move out to position at striker's end for the next over. After one delivery in that over the scorers call to you that you allowed only five balls in the previous over. You check with your colleague and he says he thinks the scorer is right.

The ball brushes his forearm, hits a fielders helmet on the ground behind the wicket keeper and goes on to cross the boundary. How many runs will be scored?
Question 9:. A chain-link fence at the edge of the field is agreed to be the boundary mark for that side. The striker hits the ball high and deep, the fielder back-pedals taking the ball cleanly three yards inside the boundary. He continues his back pedal and stops himself by putting his foot up and back against but not beyond the fence, retaining control of the ball. What are your actions and response to an appeal?
Question 10:. The batsmen have completed one run and are level with each other on their second run when a fielder throws at the wicket, misses and the ball goes over the boundary. How many runs are scored and to what end should the batsmen be directed?

Question 13:. As striker's end umpire, you note that as the bowler commences his run-up the wicket keeper is positioned so that his hands are on the bowling crease marking, however before delivery he withdraws his hands behind the crease. What is your action?
Question 14:. A delivered ball on a line three feet wide of the off stump, passes the striker on the full.

Question 27:. The striker plays at a fast ball that is moving to leg and as he turns across the line of flight your view is obstructed and you are unable to see what caused a fine deflection. The wicket keeper takes the ball on the leg side very low and you are uncertain whether he made a fair catch. How do you respond to a confident appeal from all the close fielders.?
