                            Are wides and no balls counted as balls faced by the batters?
I know they go against bowlers.
                        
			
                        
                     
                    
                
		 
                
                
            
                
			
                    
                    
                        
				
                            Wides are not added to the batsman's balls faced but no balls are. Probably because the batsman can score runs on a no ball.
                        
			
                        
                     
                    
                
		 
                
                
                    
                        
                        
                        
                            
			
                                What about a free hit? Does that count as a ball faced by the batter?
                            
		
                            
                         
                        
                        
                     
                
            
                
			
                    
                    
                        
				
                            Yes free hits are counted
