In the sport of
cricket, an over is a set of six consecutive balls bowled in succession. An over is normally bowled by a single
bowler. However, in the event of injury preventing a bowler from completing an over, it shall be completed by a teammate. An over must consist of six legal deliveries.
No balls and
wides do not count toward the six-ball tally. The captain of the fielding team decides which bowler will bowl any given over (subject to the restriction that no bowler may bowl two overs in succession).At the completion of each over, the direction of bowling reverses, so that the new bowler will approach the batsman from the opposite end of the
pitch. No bowler is allowed to bowl consecutive overs. Generally, the captain will appoint two bowlers to alternate overs from opposite ends of the pitch, until one tires or becomes ineffective, at which point the captain will replace that bowler with another. The period of time during which a bowler is part of such a pair is known as a spell.

If, at the beginning of a betting round after the first, only overs players remain in the hand, bets of twice the present limit are allowed. Most often used in home games as a compromise between aggressive and meek players.
