SCORING - zones
Go HERE if you require a more detailed description of the markings on an indoor cricket court
Basically, what all this means is:
If a batsman/woman hits the ball into the net, they score the bonus
runs (that is, runs in addition to the physical runs they run.....if
you see what I mean) relevant to the section of the net (or "zone"),
they hit. Simple really.
Of course, the ball must be hit by the bat and/or the hand/s holding
the bat at the moment of contact. The ball can hit a fielder (it often
does) or the non-striker (as long as the non-striker doesn't deliberately
make such contact) and then rebound into the net .... the bonus runs
still apply.
A ball hit by the batsman into his/her legs or
body, then rebounding onto the net, still scores the relevant bonus
runs (as it has actually been hit by the bat).
Should the ball hit the net after being thrown by a fielder,
or if it was not hit by the bat or the batsman/woman's hand/s holding
the bat, the bonus runs are not scored.
Any ball which hits a side net (Zone B or C) then goes on to hit the back net (Zone D) scores 3 bonus runs (whether on the full or along the ground). Only balls hit on the full directly to the back net (Zone D) score 6 bonus runs. A ball may be hit to the back net, on the full, and touch the top net, the non-striker, and/or a fielder on the way. This is still considered as "hit directly to the back net" because it didn't touch any other scoring net or the ground on the way. Therefore, 6 bonus runs still apply.
All the above is covered in further detail in the Rules section.
