Turning off free hits

Quick MatchFull Match

Turn on No free hits in Gully Rules and a no-ball is just a no-ball — re-bowled, with its penalty if that rule is on, but the next delivery is an ordinary ball.

By default the app follows the modern game: a no-ball earns the batter a free hit, and the scoring screen marks the delivery so you can't forget. Plenty of gully games don't play free hits at all — one toggle turns them off for the match.

No free hits sits right below the wides rule in both modes.

Pairs naturally with the wides rule

Groups that turn off the wide/no-ball penalty usually turn off free hits too — together they make extras purely a re-bowl. The two toggles sit next to each other in the sheet for exactly that reason.

People also ask

Do you get a free hit in gully cricket?

Only if your group plays it. Many gully games skip free hits entirely, which is why Gully Crix lets you switch them off for the match.

What is a free hit in cricket?

The delivery after a no-ball, on which the batter cannot be dismissed by most methods — only run out, obstructing the field or hitting the ball twice.

Does a no ball always mean a free hit?

In the modern professional game, yes. In gully cricket it depends on your house rules, and the app follows whichever you set.
