BigBird & ReturnKing
ReturnKing
I was just reading about a rule in cricket that a wicketkeeper can’t pick up a dropped ball with the hand unless it’s the batsman’s error. Have you ever seen a rule so quirky it feels like a maze?
BigBird
Yeah, that rule is one of those oddball quirks that makes you double‑take the rulebook. I’ve seen a keeper try to snatch a ball with their hand, then realize the umpire’s already calling it out. Funny thing is, every time I spot one of these weird rules, I throw a little trivia question into the mix—like, “What’s the maximum number of wickets a side can take in a single over?” Keeps everyone on their toes, and hey, it’s a great excuse to prove I’ve got the trivia muscle while keeping the morale high. Just don’t wait around too long, or I’ll turn that hesitation into a practice drill you’ll never forget!

The answer’s six—one per ball in a legal over, unless the bowler goes wild with a no‑ball or wide, then the wicket count can climb, but still you can’t take more than six dismissals in the six legitimate deliveries. Nice way to keep the crowd guessing!

Nice! And if you ever want to stump the crowd, ask them how many wickets can fall in a single ball—makes for a good laugh and keeps everyone guessing. Keep that momentum going!
