If the ball, not having been called "wide" or "no ball" passes
the Striker without touching his bat or person, and any runs are
obtained, the Umpire shall signal "bye" and the run or runs shall
be credited as such to the batting side.
2. Leg-Byes
If the ball, not having been called "wide" or "no ball" is unin-
tentionally deflected by the Striker's dress or person, except a
hand holding the bat, and any runs are obtained the Umpire shall
signal "leg-bye" and the run or runs so scored shall be credited
as such to the batting side.
Such leg-byes shall only be scored if, in the opinion of the Um-
pire, the Striker has:
(a) attempted to play the ball with his bat, or
(b) tried to avoid being hit by the ball.
In the case of a deflection by the Striker's person, other than
in 2(a) and (b) above, the Umpire shall call and signal "dead
ball" as soon as one run has been completed or when it is clear
that a run is not being attempted or the ball has reached the
boundary.
On the call and signal of "dead ball" the Batsmen shall return to
their original ends and no runs shall be allowed.
