 Over (cricket) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the sport of cricket an over is a series of six consecutive balls bowled by a single bowler.
In one-day cricket bowlers are restricted to the total number of overs they may bowl in a match and the length of the game is determined by the total number of overs bowled (usually 40 or 50 per innings).
In Test and county cricket, teams are usually required to bowl a minimum number of overs per day to prevent spoiling of the game by a slow over rate.

 Bye - free-definition
In the sport of cricket, a bye is a run scored by the batting team when the ball has not been hit by the batsman and the ball has not hit the batsman's body.
If the ball was a wide and any byes are scored, they are recorded in the scorecard as wides, not byes.
Whereas wides and no balls are considered to be the fault of the bowler, and are considered negative statistics in a bowler's record, byes are considered to be the fault of the wicket-keeper, and are considered negatively against the wicket-keeper's record.
