When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

scoring runs (from 2 consecutive balls)
So, in the context of your examples:
"Will there be runs scored off two consecutive balls?" is asking whether the batsman will be able to score runs from two balls in a row. This could mean any number of runs, as long as some are scored from each of the two consecutive deliveries.
"Runs were not scored off two consecutive balls" indicates that in a particular instance, the batsman failed to score any runs from two consecutive balls bowled to them.
This term and these types of bets are indeed commonly associated with cricket, a sport where the frequency and method of scoring runs are key aspects of the game.
