i think i may have figured it out!! Dont need to be a genius at all, just need to know the rules of cricket and then a bit of lateral thinking. took a while, as i was thinking of what ways a run could be cancelled, but the ball still count, then i remembered about short runs, and also using overthows is the answer too
the first batsman hits the ball and they run 3 runs before the fielder throws the ball back, when he does it results in overthrows and they run another 4 runs. This means that 7 has been scored, first batsman has made century and the other one is now on strike.
The umpires call one of the runs short, thus meaning 1 more run is still needed to win. the other batsman then hits a 6 off the last ball and all is well *thumbs up*
Correct,only short runs can make it possible i think.

exactly, which is why i think its a bit of a funny question to be asked at a recruitment thing, as it does not show if you are very clever or not, as it can only be solved if you know the rules of cricket well, unless of course it was for a job involved in cricket

my cousin found the answer
1st ball-batsman A hits a four
2nd ball-batsman scores two runs and gets out on the 3rd
3rd ball-batsman B whos on strike now hits a six
no overthrows, no short runs

Pretty simple really...
On the 1st ball, the 1st batsman takes 3 runs. On the second ball, the second batsman hits a four. So they both make 101 runs in a partnership..so they make their century & win the match obviously.
Job done.
