In this quiz, you have to answer six questions about the over, the unit of cricket.

The over is the unit of cricket, especially the limited-overs version. The bowler changes after an over, as does the field. The strike flips over to the other batter. The sight-screens are adjusted. From bowlers’ quotas to asking rates to the duration of a day in Test cricket, many things are defined by the over.

For something this important, it is surprising that it took so long for the ICC to stipulate the number of balls per over in international cricket to six.

How well do you know the over? Take our quiz and find out.
