Ringwood & District Cricket Association Inc. No. A116XABN 33 869 448 061Things to Consider When Making Your Captain’s Reporton UmpiresAs a Technician:PositioningAt the Bowler’s end Did the umpire move up to the stumps to give guard? Did the umpire look comfortable and was he in the best position possible to adjudicateon “No Balls” etc. and to give decisions? Did the umpire move quickly to the best position square of the wicket to adjudicate onrun outs, short runs etc.At Square LegDid the umpire take up a position about a pitch length from the pitch?When the ball was played behind him, did the umpire turn to side on to follow the path ofthe ball whilst at the same time able to adjudicate on short runs?Communication Were you able to approach the umpire with a genuine query regarding the conduct of thematch and receive a cordial reply? Did the umpire make clear the playing conditions for the match and expectations regardingplayer behaviour, the taking of drinks etc. at the toss Did the umpire initiate unnecessary conversation with the players during the course of thegame? Did the umpire maintain communication with his colleague?Concentration As the day progressed, were little things missed – a “wide” call, a No Ball call, a short run,an extra ball in an over? Did the umpire forget to cross over for the left hand – right handbatting combination? All signs of concentration wavering. Were the umpire’s decisions consistent throughout the day?Match Management Did the umpire keep you informed of the over rate? Was the umpire proactive in managing potential problems? Did the umpire treat the match as “the players game” and he was only there to count ballsand make decisions – or did he become part of the game?Knowledge of Laws and Playing ConditionsThe umpire may have made errors in judgment, but did he make errors in Law?As a Decision MakerOut – LBW Were LBW decisions consistent throughout the match? If doubt existed was the benefit given to the batsman?

Signals were correct and unambiguousImplementation of Law 42 - Fair & Unfair PlayIf called upon to implement aspects of Law 42, did the umpire Interpret the Law correctly Issue the appropriate cautions in the appropriate way? Enlist the assistance of the Captain to take action and move the game forward?There will be matches where the umpire is not called upon to make any judgements.E.g. – there are no reasonable appeals for stumpings or run outs. In these cases theumpire should receive a score of 8 with a note being made on his report that there was noneed to adjudicate in these areas.It would be expected that an umpire who has had an error free day would score at least 8in all categories under “Decision Making”10 should be reserved for the umpires who get the tough ones right.E.g. He hears the faint edge on to the pad in an LBW appeal.He has to deal with chorused appeals and stands trueGets catches behind right with the keeper standing up.Calls “No Ball” for a keeper encroaching.Remember – you are assessing the umpire’s current performance. Assessment shouldnot be influenced by history.Points AwardedGuidelines for allocation of points should follow this format:9 - 10 More than met expectations in difficult situations7 - 8 Met expectations5 - 6 More than 1 perceivable error3 - 4 Up to 3 errors in a category1 - 2 4 or more errors in a categoryIn instances where points are awarded above or below an allocation of 8, specificcomment is to be made as to the reasons for doing so and examples of errors (orexceptional behaviours) are to be included in the report; e.g. “LBW – 6.

Ringwood & District Cricket Association Inc. No. A116XABN 33 869 448 061For the two day games only:Each innings (70 overs) will be split into 35 over groups i.e. after the first 35 overs of an inningsthere will be a tea break and the fielding side will start their batting innings.On 2 nd day the team that batted second on day 1 will resume their innings (assuming they were notdismissed) with the 2 current not out batsman, for a further maximum of 35 overs. After the Teabreak the other team will then resume their innings.At the end of each batting session, a notation must be made in the scorebook confirming score atend of 35 overs e.g. 4/156. Not out batsman and their individual scores e.g. Smith 23* Jones 12*.A further notation should be made to record which end the last over was bowled from and whichbatsman was on strike. These details will be important on day 2 ensuring bowling commencesfrom the correct end with the correct batsman on strike.In effect, the first innings of each team (70 overs) is split across 2 days.If a team is dismissed prior to using its allocated 70 overs, the other team will be able to bat theseovers. For example, if Team 1 is dismissed in 60 overs, Team 2 can bat for 80 overs (70 overs +10 overs). Follow on rules etc will still apply as per the current 2 day rules.The team leading at the end of day one will receive 2 points.Other points awarded for a 1 st innings win, outright win etc will be allocated according to the currentpoints system.In the event of rain existing rules will apply. The team batting last must be given the opportunity toface 70 overs. If the team batting last does not face 70 overs and is not dismissed or they don’tmake the necessary runs the game will be a draw.In each section of the innings, a bowler can only bowl a maximum 7 overs per session.(The rationale behind this rule is about participation and to stop teams bowling 2 or 3 bowlers in the first 35overs and coming back on day 2 and bowling the same bowlers).In the event that a team is dismissed within the 70 overs the bowling restriction is removed after 35overs have been bowled in the next batting session.Finals will be played in this split innings format.1 day game 2 day gameOvers per game 70 (35 each team) 140 (70 each team)Overs per split 35 35Min.
