# Validations - anomalies in the cricket data, row by row

Tab 2 of 2. The checks that count these, and the rest of the chain, are at https://validation.tigzig.com/index.md

From the served-data run of 11 Sep 2026, 23:20 IST (17:50 UTC). Published as found, never cleaned; where there is an explanation it is given.

## Matches with a winner but no margin recorded - 5 rows

A handful across the whole record, and the `method` field explains most of them rather than leaving them a curiosity. The 2006 Oval Test is the famous forfeit - England were awarded the match, so there is no margin by definition. The rest are low-profile matches where the source records none.

| match_id | match_type | start_date | team1 | team2 | winner | method | venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 225258 | TEST | 2006-08-17 | England | Pakistan | England | Awarded | Kennington Oval |
| 1268191 | T20 | 2021-07-10 | Belgium | Malta | Malta | Awarded | Marsa Sports Club |
| 1273144 | T20 | 2021-08-20 | Ghana | Rwanda | Ghana | Awarded | Gahanga International Cricket Stadium. Rwanda |
| 1407719 | T20 | 2023-11-23 | Cambodia | Indonesia | Indonesia | Awarded | Udayana Cricket Ground |
| 1544610 | T20 | 2026-07-28 | Uganda | Tanzania | Uganda | Awarded | Namibia Cricket Ground, Windhoek |

## Deliveries scoring more than seven off the bat - 1 row

A handful in five million. Eight off the bat is legal: runs completed plus a boundary from an overthrow are all credited to the striker.

| fmt | match_id | innings | ball | striker | bowler | runs_off_bat | extras |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| TEST | 351679 | 1 | 45.3 | A Symonds | IE O'Brien | 8 | 0 |

## Squad entries carrying no player identifier - 5 rows

All of them are match officials - reserve umpires and TV umpires - and none is a player. The source's people register does not hold an identifier for every official, so there is nothing here to fix on our side and nothing a caller can join to. Published rather than asserted, because asserting zero would mark correct data as a failure.

| match_id | person_name | role |
|---|---|---|
| 1268191 | Mohammad Abdul Rahman | reserve_umpire |
| 1392803 | Muhammad Usman (2) | reserve_umpire |
| 1392803 | Rahat Ali Chaudhry | tv_umpire |
| 1392808 | Muhammad Usman (2) | reserve_umpire |
| 1392808 | Rahat Ali Chaudhry | tv_umpire |

## Innings that appear to have more than ten wickets - 11 rows

Every one contains a retired hurt, which is not a dismissal and does not end an innings. Counting only real dismissals, the maximum is exactly ten, which is what the format_shape_validity check asserts. Note this is NOT Test-only - the same shape occurs in the limited-overs formats.

| match_type | match_id | innings | all_wicket_rows | real_dismissals | retired |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T20 | 1173070 | 2 | 11 | 10 | 1 |

## Overs where two deliveries share one ball number - at least 1,000 rows (showing the first 40)

Fully explained, and it is not cricket. The source numbers deliveries within an over as a running count, so a ten-ball over reaches .10, and .10 stored as a decimal is the same value as .1. One collision per long over, exactly. This is why over_no and delivery_in_over exist as separate whole numbers.

## Tied matches, and who won the tiebreak - 101 rows (showing the first 60)

Published because the match result is a TIE and that is what the record says - the tiebreak winner is recorded beside it, not folded into it. Folding super-over wins into wins would promote ties to wins, a judgement the sport declines to make.
