Whats the most wickets that can be legally taken in an over?
Asked by: Ireneus on 04-08-2012..
Fan Answer
BinitA team can be bowled out inside an hour, and legally. It'll just take the bowler to take 6 wickets off 6 legal balls and then bowl 4 wides off which fielders effect run-outs. There can also be time-outs for which a team can be bowled out (termed as forefitting the game) even without a single ball bowled.

As far as a bowler is concerned, he can only take 6, off 6 legal balls. All dismissals off no-balls or wides don't go to bowler's credit.
SunilA bowler can bowl all no balls and create run out opportunities. as no balls will not go to bowler's credit he can even bowl 10 no balls and get 10 run out wickets. it is all legal.
