Runs scored by: running between wickets (1, 2, 3 runs per ball typical) or boundaries (4 along the ground, 6 over the boundary on the fly); Extras: byes, leg-byes, wides, no-balls, penalty runs; Team total: sum of runs across innings (vs. wickets lost)
Why people argue about this
People often assume that extras like byes and leg-byes are awarded only when a batsman is out, forgetting that they can occur at any time during play, even if no runs have been scored yet. The confusion arises because extras aren't tied to the outcome of a player's dismissal; they're part of the scoring system itself.
