What happens if the batter hits the ball behind the batting line?
- A.
You're out
- B.
You score 1/2 a rounder instantly
- C.
You have to wait at 1st base untill the ball is fielded
- D.
You have to wait at 1st base untill the next batter hits the ball
Correct Answer
C. You have to wait at 1st base untill the ball is fieldedExplanation
If the batter hits the ball behind the batting line, they have to wait at 1st base until the ball is fielded. This means that they cannot advance to the next base until the opposing team retrieves the ball and throws it to the appropriate base. This rule ensures that the fielding team has a chance to make a play and potentially get the batter out.Rate this question:

Fielder is sent off
- D.

Correct Answer
B. 1/2 a rounderExplanation
If a fielder causes an obstruction, 1/2 a rounder is awarded. This means that the batting team is given half of a rounder, which is a point in the game of rounders. This penalty is given to the batting team as a result of the obstruction caused by the fielder, and it helps to ensure fair play and discourage fielders from obstructing the batting team's progress.Rate this question:

In the backwards area, well away from 4th base
- B.
On the pitch, joining the fielding team
- C.
In the backwards area, well away fro 1st base
- D.
Behind the backstop
Correct Answer
C. In the backwards area, well away fro 1st baseExplanation
When you are out in a baseball game, you wait in the backwards area, well away from 1st base. This is because 1st base is the base where the next batter will be running towards, and it is important to stay out of their way to avoid any interference or collisions. Waiting in the backwards area ensures that you are safely out of the way of the game and the ongoing play.Rate this question:

Correct Answer(s)
A. You must touch 4th base on getting home
C. You can be stumped out at the next post if you lose contact with the one you are onExplanation
The first statement, "You must touch 4th base on getting home," is true in the game of baseball. In order to score a run, a player must touch all four bases, including the fourth base (home plate).
The second statement, "You can be stumped out at the next post if you lose contact with the one you are on," is also true in the game of cricket. If a batsman loses contact with the ground while running between the wickets, they can be stumped out by the wicket-keeper if the ball is thrown to the next post and the batsman fails to regain contact with the ground before the wicket is broken.Rate this question:
