what's the max no of runs scored on a single delivery in cricket ever?
443878
There are plenty of instances of bowlers conceding more then 10 runs from combinations of no-balls and wides.  Ryan Sidebottom playing for Yorkshire once conceded 11 runs from a single delivery with five wides and a six.  See the bbc link to the article below.  \nThe second link is an article that claims a 10 run delivery in 1900 and at least nine instances of 9 runs, mostly from overthrows.  It is possible for an inexperienced team to keep giving overthrows.\nThere is also a record of a player being awarded 7 runs after the batsmen ran three and the fielder deliberately kicked the ball over the boundary line, the umpire awarded an additional 4 runs.  See the third link below.\n\nIn a ODI game against India in 2004 Naved-ul-hasan has this memorable over conceding 17 with only 1 legal delivery bowled (source cricinfo, see last link below):\n Naved-ul-Hasan comes into the attack, replacing Shoaib Akhtar\n  10.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, (noball) FOUR, outside off, short width given Sehwag takes it and punches past mid off to the fence\n  10.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, (noball) FOUR, long hop - put away in fine style, rocks back and pulls it hard - four!\n  10.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, (noball) no run, another noball, plays and misses outside off\n  10.1 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, no run, on the stumps, defended back\n  10.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, (noball) FOUR, OH! dear another no ball, hits it over mid off, four more!\n  10.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, (noball) no run, bouncer and umpire called a noball\n  10.2 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, FOUR, fuller length, smashed away past mid off for a boundary\n  10.3 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, two runs, full and on legs, whipped away to deep mid wicket\n  10.4 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, no run, short in length, tries to cut and gets beaten\n  10.5 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, no run\n  10.6 Naved-ul-Hasan to Sehwag, one run, pushed to cover and that is 50 for Sehwag

The penalty is 5 runs. It happened to Australia when playing against South Africa. It's so rare that it can be hardly seen.

Wow, so many answers and none of them correct, no one has answered how to win a match by zero wickets.  \n\nIn the example given a couple previous answers are correct, the run would count, the wicket would not count, the batting team would win by 1 wicket.  Lords holds the laws of cricket.  \n\nLaw 24 (no balls) states:\n12. Penalty for a No ball\n"A penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call of No ball. Unless the call is revoked, this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed. It shall be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance and any other penalties awarded."\n\nAnd under law 25 (wide ball)\n"5. Penalty for a Wide\nA penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call of Wide ball. Unless the call is revoked (see 3 above), this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed, and shall be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance and any other penalties awarded."\n\nNow as to whether the wicket would count.  Law 21 (The Result) states:\n"6. Winning hit or extras\n(a) As soon as a result is reached, as defined in 1, 2, 3 or 4 above, the match is at an end. Nothing that happens thereafter, except as in Law 42.17(b) (Penalty runs), shall be regarded as part of it. Note also 9 below."\n\nTherefore the wide or no-ball would count but the wicket would not as it came after the result.  Similarly if a batsman is on 98 and the scores are tied they need a boundary to get to 100, they cannot run 2 as the result is reached after the first run.\n\nThe only way a team can win with zero wickets is also covered by law 21:\n"7. Statement of result\nIf the side batting last wins the match without losing all its wickets, the result shall be stated as a win by the number of wickets still then to fall.\nIf the side batting last has lost all its wickets but, as the result of an award of 5 penalty runs at the end of the match, has scored a total of runs in excess of the total scored by the opposing side, the result shall be stated as a win to that side by Penalty runs."\n\nPenalty runs are awarded due to unfair play.  There are only three instances where a fielding side can give away 5 penalty runs during an over: 1)  deliberate distraction or obstruction of the batsman second infringement.  However the wicket will not count so they will in fact win by 1 wicket.  2)  Fielder does damage to the pitch.  Afridi was guilty of this recently.  3)  Match ball condition is changed, plenty of instances of this happening.  \n\nAt the end of a match if a team has lost by less then 5 runs and they find TV footage of the fielding team damaging the pitch or changing the condition of the ball they could apply for a 5 run penalty to win the match.  This would have to be done before the umpires meet with the scorers at the conclusion of the match.  Once the umpires and scorers agree on the correctness of the scores the result cannot be changed.

Easy....the batsman 1 hits the first of the 2 balls and runs a single......the throw to run out at the keepers end misses the stump and hits the cap/helmet ( not worn) of one of the fielders/wicketkeeper. thats 5 runs so total scored on the ball is 6(1+5) and the strike changed as they took a single. \nthe last ball is hit for a six when 1 run was needed.\n\nboth scored centuries.and i get 10 points

You are absoltely right. \nSaeed Anwar caught Ganguly b. Tendulkar 194 (146 balls) \n22 fours and 5 sixes.\nAt Chennai (Independence Cup tournament in 1997).\n\nWhen he got out there were still 3 overs left. He could have scored a double hundred. Such was his domination that the second highest scorer made 39. \n\nPakistan won the match by 35 runs.
