What is your understanding of the conditions laid down in Law 34. I would suggest you read this, and discuss the ramifications with your instructor at your next meeting.

Under the present Law 34 runs are only allowed if the result from overthrows (34.4.b). However, I believe that the soon to be released 2013 code will change this and no runs will be allowed at all from a ball lawfully struck more than once. When I see it in print I will give three cheers!

That's one point of view. I presume that the change in the Law would not protect a batsman mistakenly going for a run in this situation, so he could be run out. Following on from this, if a batsman defends his wicket and doesn't attempt a run, why should he not benefit from a wild throw which would go for 'buzzers'? |

Even under the present Law 34 this is illogical. The batsman is allowed a second or subsequent strike of the ball "solely in order to guard his wicket". Since this is the ONLY purpose for this action it makes sense that no further benefit should be allowed to the batsman. As for the argument that the batting side should be allowed to benefit from a wild throw, no such provision is made in the case where leg byes are to be disallowed (26.3). From what I have heard, the law makers have finally come around to this point of view the convoluted two and a bit pages of law (34.4 and 34.5) covering what was always a highly unlikely set of circumstances.
As to the first point made by jaybee, I believe the logic of Law 26.3 will now be applied to Law 34; thus the batsmen will be in danger of being run out if they attempt to run, but once they complete one run dead ball will be called and they will be sent back.
