How all can a ball be ‘wide’?

The law states that a wide or a wide ball is a ball bowled ‘so high over or so wide off the wicket that it passes out of reach of the striker, standing in a normal guard position’. When a wide is bowled, the umpire calls ‘wide’ and signals to the scorers by extending both arms horizontally. A wide nodes not count as one of the six balls of the over. One run is given to the batting side, unless the batsmen actually run more runs, or the ball goes to the boundary. In that case, any runs scored are credited to extras as wides.
