In the sport of cricket, a run is the basic unit of scoring. Runs are scored by a batsman, and the aggregate of the scores of a team's batsmen (plus any extras) constitutes the team's score. A batsman scoring 50 (a 'half century') or 100 runs (a 'century', 'hundred' or 'ton'), or any higher multiple of 50 runs, is considered a particular achievement. By extension, a partnership of two batsmen moving the team score on by a multiple of 50 runs, or the team score passing a multiple of 50 runs, is also cause for celebration. ==Rules== The rules concerning the scoring of runs are mostly contained in Law 18 of the Laws of cricket.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Law 18 Scoring runs )〕 The simplest way for a batsman to score a run is by the striker hitting the ball such that both batsmen can run from one end of the pitch to the other without either batsman getting out: the batsmen effectively exchanging positions, so the striking batsman becomes the non-striker, and vice versa. The batsmen may be able to run up and down the pitch more than once, crossing each time, to score two, three or more runs. A batsman can also score four or six runs by hitting the ball to or over the boundary (four if it strikes the ground before the boundary; six if it crosses the boundary in the air without striking the ground), and may be awarded five penalty runs in certain situations. A batsman is never compelled to run (cricket has no equivalent of baseball's force out). Thus, according to Law 18, a run is scored when: * the batsmen, or their runner, at any time while the ball is in play, have crossed and made good their ground from end to end; * a boundary is scored; * penalty runs are awarded; * "lost ball" is called. Runs are added to the team score, but not the score of an individual batsman, for extras (no balls, wides, byes and leg byes). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Run (cricket)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
