	Leg bye - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the sport of cricket, a leg bye is a run scored by the batting team when the batsman has not hit the ball with his bat, but the ball has hit the batsman's body or protective gear.
		Leg byes are relatively common, being the commonest form of extras in a cricket score.
		Noted international umpire Darrell Hair has been a particular critic of leg byes, stating that if a batsman is not skilled enough to hit a ball with his bat, he should not be allowed to score runs off it.

		Through long tradition, this is usually square leg - in line with the stumps and a few yards to the batsman's leg side - hence he is sometimes known as the square leg umpire.
		A six scored by hitting the ball over the boundary is signalled by the umpire raising both hands above his head, often in a celebratory manner; although the umpire is neutral, a six is considered an achievement.
		Leg byes are signalled by the umpire touching his raised knee.

		A leg bye sent him to face Harmison but he edged four behind his legs and, amid tension only matched by that heroic game at Melbourne in 1982 when 40,000 saw Allan Border and Jeff Thomson fail to win by two runs, he could not get the middle of his bat to a single delivery.
		Four leg byes off a no-ball reduced the total to nine, two singles brought it down to seven and as a chorus of voices implored Flintoff to `get `im out' Kasprowicz almost edged a catch to the slip cordon.
