NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 3
PREMIER LEAGUE COMPETITION<br />
50 OVERS PLAYING CONDITIONS 2016/17<br />
1. LAW 1 THE PLAYERS<br />
1.1 Law 1.1 - Number of Players<br />
Law 1.1 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
A match is played between two sides. Each side shall consist of 11 players, one of whom shall be captain.<br />
1.2 Law 1.2 - Nomination of Players<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 1.2:<br />
If the late withdrawal of a player nominated to participate in a Sunfoil Series 4-Day, Momentum 1-Day Cup, Ram Slam<br />
T20 Challenge match necessitates the promotion of a player nominated to a CSA Provincial 50 Over Challenge match,<br />
such player shall by right, be permitted a replacement after the nomination. (Refer to Clause 2.3 Law 2.3 Restrictions<br />
on the role of substitutes, as modified).<br />
Note: The Umpires is to ensure that both teams are nominated in writing and received prior to the toss (2copies of the<br />
team sheet). When a nominated player in the starting XI has injured himself in the warm up after the toss, the opposition<br />
Captain needs to consent to a replacement player. Consent is either given or it is not as long as the replacement player<br />
is eligible to play and consent to a replacement is given by the opposing captain, he can play in the XI. There have been<br />
occasions where a nominated player in the starting XI has injured himself in the warm up after the toss. In these cases,<br />
the opposition Captain needs to consent to a replacement player. While this consent has often been given, it cannot be<br />
given on condition of the replacement player being a similar player or a particular person being rejected by the<br />
opposition Captain as a replacement. Consent is either given or it is not as long as the replacement player is eligible to<br />
play and consent to a replacement is given, he can play in the XI.<br />
1.3 Law 1.3 - Captain<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 1.3 (a):<br />
The deputy must be one of the nominated members of the playing eleven.<br />
2. LAW 2 - SUBSTITUTES AND RUNNERS, BATSMAN OR FIELDER LEAVING THE FIELD, BATSMAN RETIRING,<br />
BATSMAN COMMENCING INNINGS<br />
2.1 Law 2.1 - Substitutes and Runners<br />
Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply. A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.<br />
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows:<br />
The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a<br />
nominated player, at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.<br />
2.3 Law 2.3 - Restrictions on the role of substitutes<br />
The restrictions under Law 2.3 shall only apply if the substitute is not a member of the nominated eleven.<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 2.3.<br />
Subject to the provisions of Clause 1.2, the replacement player shall by right be entitled to bat, bowl or keep wicket.<br />
If the promoted player is batting at the time and he is required to leave the match, he shall retire “not out” and his<br />
substitute will be permitted to bat later in the innings at the fall of a wicket, unless nine wickets have already fallen, in<br />
which case he shall be allowed to bat immediately if available.<br />
2.4 Law 2.5 - Fielder absent or leaving the field<br />
Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a<br />
session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the<br />
field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such<br />
consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes, the following<br />
restrictions shall apply to their future participation in the match:<br />
2.4.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team<br />
has subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter<br />
referred to as penance time), subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. If any<br />
unexpired penance time remains at the end of the first innings, it is carried forward to the second<br />
innings of the match.<br />
2.4.2 The player shall not be permitted to bat in the match until his team's batting innings has been in<br />
progress for the length of playing time that is equal to the unexpired penance time carried forward<br />
from the previous innings, subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. However,<br />
once his side has lost five wickets in its batting innings, he may bat immediately. For the purposes of<br />
2.4.1 and 2.4.2, playing time shall comprise the time play is in progress excluding lunch and tea<br />
intervals, intervals between innings and official drinks intervals. However, in the event of a batsman or<br />
a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground,<br />
weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any<br />
such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires when he is fit<br />
enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of an interruption<br />
in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player is<br />
on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall<br />
automatically be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided he returns to the<br />
field of play immediately after the interruption. The restriction in clauses 2.4.1 and 2.4.2 above shall not<br />
apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled<br />
muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 4
2.4.2 Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons<br />
(other than injury or illness). Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or<br />
other wholly acceptable reasons. 'Wholly acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme<br />
circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a 'comfort break'. (Writing<br />
exams will be wholly acceptable reason and the player do not have to serve penance time)<br />
Note: The umpires should enquire about the player who has left the field to confirm the reason for leaving the<br />
field. If the reason given is not confirmed as a valid and genuine reason he shall inform the captain require the<br />
substitute fielder to immediately leave the field.<br />
Notes on defining injuries<br />
a) An external blow is defined as when a player is hit by something or hits something. It must be noted that<br />
this definition does not include blisters<br />
b) Examples of an internal injury are pulled muscles or blisters.<br />
c) The medical committee has ruled that players with cramp are entitled to a substitute as cramp should be<br />
considered an injury or illness. This is no longer an issue for batsmen as they are no longer allowed<br />
runners. In order to speed up play, fielders are permitted and indeed encouraged to leave the field to either<br />
put on or take off protective equipment such as internal leg guards for spinners just prior to or just after their<br />
spells. This should be done just outside the field of play and under the sight of the umpires. This includes<br />
broken equipment.<br />
Note: Squad members of the fielding team who are not playing in the match and who are not acting as<br />
substitute fielders shall be required to wear a team training bib or a other recognizable attire whilst on the<br />
playing area (including the area between the boundary and the perimeter fencing).<br />
3. LAW 3 - THE UMPIRES<br />
3.1 Law 3.1 - Appointment and Attendance<br />
The following shall apply in place of Law 3.1:<br />
The NCUA shall appoint all Umpires to matches.<br />
3.2 Law 3.2 - Change of Umpire<br />
Law 3.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
An umpire shall not be changed during the match, other than in exceptional circumstances, unless he is injured or ill.<br />
3.3 Law 3.8 - Fitness for play and Law 3.9 - Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable conditions<br />
The safety of all persons within the ground is of paramount importance. In the event that any threatening<br />
circumstance, whether actual or perceived, comes to the attention of any umpire (including for example<br />
weather, pitch invasions, act of God, etc. Then the players and officials should immediately be asked to leave<br />
the field of play in a safe and orderly manner and to relocate to a secure and safe area (depending on each<br />
particular threat) pending the satisfactory passing or resolution of such threat or risk to the reasonable<br />
satisfaction of the umpires. Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by: The umpires shall be the final judges of the<br />
fitness of the ground, weather and light for play. Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for play).<br />
3.3.1 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light<br />
a) All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).<br />
b) If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there<br />
is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or<br />
dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence<br />
or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the<br />
umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the<br />
ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so<br />
wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free<br />
movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these<br />
conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place. If<br />
circumstances are warranted, the umpires shall stop play and instruct the ground staff to take<br />
whatever action they can and use whatever equipment is necessary to remove as much dew as<br />
possible from the outfield when conditions become unreasonable or dangerous. The umpires may<br />
also instruct the ground staff to take such action during scheduled and unscheduled breaks in<br />
play. The umpires shall disregard any shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object<br />
on the ground.<br />
a) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions.<br />
They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that<br />
conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game.<br />
b) If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the<br />
umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and<br />
foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for<br />
play to take place.<br />
Play may be suspended due to safety and security concerns by the umpires, the head of the<br />
relevant ground authority, the head of ground security or the police.<br />
Where play is suspended under Clause 3.3.1 above the decision to abandon or resume play shall<br />
be the responsibility of the NCU.<br />
Note: The objective is for the umpires to maximize play. The intention is to stay out longer than teams may<br />
have been used to in the past. Whilst match officials have dealt with GWL more firmly in recent times, it is<br />
necessary that appropriate positive and assertive management is continued.<br />
The umpires are the final judges of the fitness of Ground Weather Light (GWL).<br />
3.3.2 In considering the fitness of light, umpires should note the following:<br />
a) Only when conditions are UNSAFE, should play be suspended. The word unreasonable in the Law applies<br />
to high winds, dust storms and the like.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 5
) The terms “unsuitable” or “unfair” are not valid reasons for suspending play. Conditions need to be 'safe' to<br />
continue playing and 'unsafe' to suspend play. Umpires should only suspend play when conditions are<br />
'Dangerous'.<br />
c) For the avoidance of doubt, the level of light (and therefore the light meter reading) required to justify<br />
suspension of play will normally be different depending on whether the bowler is fast or slow i.e. the light<br />
level at which point it would normally be considered unsafe for a batsman facing a fast bowler is normally<br />
higher than one where a slow bowler is bowling. (Note: in differentiating between slow and fast bowlers,<br />
umpires should take into account whether the keeper would normally stand back or up to the stumps).<br />
d) In an effort to prolong play, captains may be advised as to whether slow bowlers should be used when<br />
conditions are mainly becoming UNSAFE for the batsmen.<br />
e) When the on field umpires are finding it difficult to pick up the ball, this is considered the correct time for the<br />
umpires to confer and consider the light and discuss the options. Both on field umpires must agree to<br />
suspend play.<br />
f) For clarity, if only one on field umpire believes that play should be suspended, then play should continue.<br />
Note: Approaches to consider when deciding whether to come off for bad light.<br />
The first time that play is suspended for bad light that is the benchmark (guide) for the match. That is the<br />
time to push the boundaries hard, every time. There should be visible proof of light affecting the fielder's<br />
ability to see the ball not just one occurrence and it should be genuine and not game tactic related.<br />
Grounds are different we are the global trend setters with responsibilities.<br />
Batters have the best view do not be influenced by them or indeed by the game situation.<br />
Remember if they complain about not seeing the rotation of a spinner's delivery, fast bowlers might be better<br />
for them. GWL is a tough call always remember to extend play longer than has been done previously.<br />
When play has been suspended for “bad light”:<br />
If conditions allow, the umpires should stay on the ground to monitor conditions. This would show the intent to<br />
the public that the match officials are keen to maximize play and ensure a speedy turnaround if play is to<br />
restart.<br />
Please note: Should the Umpires disagree as to the fitness of GWL, then the current status quo should<br />
continue. That is, the umpires do not agree the light is unsafe and play is in progress, then play is to<br />
continue until both Umpires agree it is unsafe. The umpires are still the final decision makers of GWL.<br />
Dew is to be treated like any other interruption and if conditions are unsafe (unreasonable), then umpires<br />
can stop play and request action from the ground staff. (See video clip link below)<br />
Lightning Guidelines<br />
If one umpire feels that the GWL situation is unsafe due to the threat of lightning, play should be suspended.<br />
This deviates from the standard GWL protocol normally both umpires must agree to suspend play<br />
4. LAW 4 - THE SCORERS<br />
Law 4 shall apply.<br />
NCU scorers association shall be appointed to record all runs scored, all wickets taken and, where appropriate, number of<br />
over's bowled.<br />
5. LAW 5 - THE BALL<br />
Clause 5.1 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
5.1 Law 5.2 - Approval and control of balls<br />
Law 5.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The NCU shall provide balls and each club must supply at least 6 spare used balls for changing during a match<br />
(minimum of 6), which shall be of the same brand. The umpires shall retain possession of the match balls throughout<br />
the duration of the match when play is not actually taking place. During play the umpires shall periodically and<br />
irregularly inspect the condition of the ball and shall retain possession of it at the fall of a wicket, a drinks interval, or any<br />
other disruption in play.<br />
5.2 Law 5.5 - Ball lost or becoming unfit for play<br />
Law 5.5 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
5.2.1 In the event of a ball during play being lost or in the opinion of the umpires, being unfit for play through<br />
normal use, the umpires shall allow it to be replaced by one that in their opinion has had a similar<br />
amount of wear.<br />
5.2.2 In the event of the ball becoming wet and soggy as a result of play continuing in inclement weather or it<br />
being affected by dew, and in the opinion of the umpires being unfit for play, the ball may be replaced<br />
for a ball that has similar amount of wear, even though it has not gone out of shape.<br />
5.2.3 If the ball is to be replaced, the umpire shall inform the batsmen and the fielding captain. Either batsman or bowler<br />
may raise the matter with the umpires and the umpires' decision as to a replacement or otherwise will be final.<br />
Note: When umpires consider when to replace a wet and soggy ball, they should wait to be prompted by the<br />
bowler i.e. they should only consider changing the ball when the bowler feels that the ball is too wet to bowl<br />
with. If so prompted, both on field umpires should consider the condition of the ball. If the umpires feel it<br />
requires their attention, before they make a decision as to whether to change the ball or not, the ball should be<br />
dried vigorously with a towel, with particular emphasis on the seam. If, after drying, the ball is still too slippery<br />
and wet to hold and grip, the ball should be changed. Note that the condition of the seam is paramount. If it is<br />
dry, even though the leather itself might still be wet, the ball should not be considered as being too wet as the<br />
bowler should still be able to hold and grip the ball. Dew - In extreme circumstances (e.g. when dew is severe),<br />
and the ball has to be changed every 3 or 4 over's, consideration should be given to stopping the game and<br />
instructing the curator to rope the ground and mop the very wet areas before resuming play.<br />
Once a ball is replaced (it has been lost and cannot be retrieved in a timely manner), the original ball<br />
cannot be reintroduced back into the game at the discretion of the umpires. The only way an original ball<br />
can be reintroduced is when the replacement ball also becomes lost or unfit for play and a suitable<br />
replacement is required<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 6
6. LAW 6 - THE BAT<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 6:<br />
Striker using back of bat deliberately to hit the ball -<br />
It is legal for a striker to use the back of his bat deliberately to hit the ball when playing a shot.<br />
7. LAW 7 - THE PITCH<br />
7.1 Law 7.3 - Selection and preparation<br />
The following will apply in addition to Law 7.3:<br />
7.1.1 The Umpires shall ensure that during the period prior to the start of play and during intervals,<br />
the pitch area shall be out of bounds for unauthorized personnel. (The pitch area shall include an area<br />
at least 2 meters beyond the rectangle made by the crease markings at both ends of the pitch).<br />
7.1.2 The umpires shall ensure that, prior to the start of play and during any intervals, only authorized<br />
ground staff, match officials, players and team coaches shall be allowed access to the pitch area.<br />
Such access shall be subject to the following limitations:<br />
a) Only captains and team coaches may walk on the actual playing surface of the pitch area (outside of the<br />
crease markings).<br />
b) No spiked footwear shall be permitted.<br />
c) No one shall be permitted to bounce a ball on the pitch, strike it with a bat or cause damage to the pitch in<br />
any other way.<br />
d) Access shall not interfere with pitch preparation.<br />
7.1.1 In the event of any dispute, the Umpires will rule and there ruling will be final.<br />
7.2 Law 7.4 - Changing the pitch<br />
Law 7.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
7.2.1 In the event of a pitch being considered too dangerous for play to continue in the estimation of the<br />
umpires, they shall stop play and immediately.<br />
7.2.2 The umpires shall consult with both captains.<br />
7.2.3 If the captains agree to continue, play shall resume.<br />
7.2.4 If the decision is not to resume play, the umpires together shall consider whether the existing pitch can<br />
be repaired and the match resumed from the point it was stopped. In considering whether to authorize<br />
such repairs, the Umpires must consider whether this would place either side at an unfair advantage,<br />
given the play that had already taken place on the dangerous pitch.<br />
7.2.5 If the decision is that the existing pitch cannot be repaired, then the match is to be abandoned with the<br />
following consequences:<br />
a) In the event of the required number of overs to constitute a match having been completed at the time the<br />
match is abandoned, the result shall be determined according to the provisions of the DLS par score.<br />
b) In the event of the required number of overs to constitute a match not having been completed, the match<br />
will be abandoned as a no result.<br />
7.2.6 If the match is abandoned as a no result, the Umpires shall consult with the NCU with the objective of<br />
finding a way for a new match to be commenced and completed on the same date (including any<br />
reserve day) and venue.<br />
7.2.7 Such a match may be played either on the repaired pitch or on another pitch, subject to the Umpires,<br />
NCU and the relevant ground authority both being satisfied that the new pitch will be of the required.<br />
7.2.8 If it is not possible to play a new match on the scheduled day of the match (including any reserve day),<br />
the NCU shall agree on whether the match can be replayed within the existing schedule.<br />
7.2.9 Throughout the above decision making processes, the Umpires shall keep informed both captains and<br />
the head of the ground authority.<br />
7.3 Law 7.5 - Non-turf pitches<br />
Law 7.5 shall not apply.<br />
All matches shall be played on natural turf pitches.<br />

The following shall apply in addition to Law 8.2:<br />
When the larger stump is used, all three stumps must be exactly the same size.<br />
Note: This additional regulation does not allow the stumps to be any higher or wider than the laws of cricket allow.<br />
The only difference with these wider stumps would be in the gaps.<br />
The overall width of the set of wickets must remain at 9 inches. If play is continuing in strong winds umpires can<br />
agree to dispense with bails.<br />
The umpires can as alternative use heavy bails, if there are available. This decision is for the umpires alone to<br />
decide and if bails are to be dispensed with, it should be at both ends, as stated in the Laws.<br />
9. LAW 9 - THE BOWLING, POPPING AND RETURN CREASES<br />
9.1 Law 9.3 - The Popping Crease<br />
Law 9.3 shall apply, except that the reference to 'a minimum of 6 ft' shall be replaced by 'a minimum of 15 yards (13.71<br />
meters)'.<br />
9.2 Additional Crease Markings<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 9:<br />
The bowling creases shall be marked 43.18 cm (17”) from the inner edge of the return creases to assist the Umpires<br />
adjudicating offside wides for right and left handed batsmen. As a guideline to the umpires for the calling of wides, the<br />
wide guidelines shall be extended from the bowling to popping creases.<br />

The following shall apply in addition to Law 10.1:<br />
10.1.1 Prior to tossing for choice of innings the artificial drying of the pitch and outfield shall be at the<br />
discretion of the ground man. Thereafter and throughout the match the drying of the outfield may be<br />
undertaken at any time by the ground man, but the drying of the affected area of the pitch shall be<br />
carried out only on the instructions and under the supervision of the umpires. The umpires shall be<br />
empowered to have the pitch dried without reference to the captains at any time they are of the<br />
opinion that it is unfit for play.<br />
10.1.2 The umpires may instruct the ground man to use any available equipment, including any roller for<br />
the purpose of drying the pitch and making it fit for play. An absorbent roller may be used to remove<br />
water from the covers including the cover on the match pitch.<br />
10.2 Law 10.6 - Maintenance of foot holes<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 10.6:<br />
The umpires shall see that wherever possible and whenever it is considered necessary, action is taken during all<br />
intervals in play to do whatever is practicable to improve the bowler's foot holes.<br />
Note: Routine maintenance and rolling supervision will be done by the umpires. The umpires will be responsible to<br />
ensure that the preparation and maintenance of the pitch is dealt with strictly according to the Law. Whenever drying<br />
of the pitch is necessary following rain, the umpires should oversee this to ensure that everything possible is being<br />
done to facilitate play as soon as possible.<br />
10.3 Protection and preparation of adjacent pitches during matches<br />
The protection (by way of an appropriate cover) and preparation of pitches which are adjacent to the match pitch will<br />
be permitted during the match subject to the following:<br />
10.3.1 Such measures will only be possible if requested by the ground man and approved by the umpires<br />
before the start of the match.<br />
10.3.2 Approval should only be granted where such measures are unavoidable and will not compromise<br />
the safety of the players or their ability to execute their actions with complete freedom.<br />
10.3.3 The preparation work shall be carried out under the supervision of the umpire.<br />
10.3.4 Any necessary watering shall be carried out only to the extent necessary for such preparations and<br />
shall not be permitted in circumstances which may in any way affect the match pitch. The consent of<br />
the captains is not required but the umpires shall advise both captains and before the start of the<br />
match on what has been agreed<br />

again if rain falls prior to the commencement of play.<br />
12. LAW 12 - INNINGS<br />
Law 12 shall apply subject to the following<br />
(See also clauses 15 and 16 below):<br />
12.1 Law 12.1 - Number of innings<br />
Law 12.1 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
All matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 50 over's.<br />
All matches shall be of one day's scheduled duration.<br />
12.2 Law 12.2 - Alternate innings<br />
Law 12.2 shall not apply.<br />
12.3 Law 12.3 - Completed innings<br />
Laws 12.3 (c), (d) and (e) (iii) shall not apply<br />
12.4 Length of Innings<br />
12.4.1 Uninterrupted Matches.<br />
(a) Each team shall bat for 50 over's unless all out earlier.<br />
(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled cessation time for the<br />
first innings, play shall continue until the required number of over's has been bowled or the innings is<br />
completed. In addition if the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled<br />
cessation for the first innings, 12 penalty runs will be awarded to the side batting first, for every over not<br />
bowled. The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time for the first innings is reached, will be<br />
completed and count as a completed over. For the sake of clarity only over's not bowled after the<br />
completion of the over in progress at the scheduled cessation time for the first innings shall be scored as<br />
penalty runs. Such penalty runs will be scored as penalty extras.<br />
(c) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 50 over's, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat<br />
for 50 over's.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 8
(d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the second innings, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of over's have been<br />
bowled or a result is achieved. In addition if the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of<br />
over's by the scheduled cessation time for the second innings, the side batting second has the option to<br />
either accept 12 penalty runs for every over not bowled, or to continue batting. The over in progress<br />
when the scheduled cessation time is reached, will be completed and count as a completed over. For the<br />
sake of clarity only full over's not bowled after the completion of the over in progress at the scheduled<br />
cessation time shall be scored as penalty runs. Once this decision has been taken it is irreversible.<br />
Such penalty runs will be scored as penalty extras.<br />
12.4.2 Delayed or Interrupted Matches<br />
(a) Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting First<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be<br />
based on a rate of 15 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of drinks intervals, in the total<br />
remaining time available for play.<br />
(ii) The revision of the number of overs should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 over's have to be bowled to the side batting<br />
second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's faced by Team<br />
1 multiplied by 4, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 (b) below take effect.<br />
(iv) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the<br />
match, by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time available<br />
for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions<br />
in playing hours, interruptions in play, intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into<br />
consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the original or<br />
rescheduled time for cessation of play on the final scheduled day for play. If required, the original<br />
time shall be extended to allow for one extra over for each team.<br />
(v) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the revised number of overs by the specified time, play shall<br />
continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is completed.<br />
(b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to<br />
have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of over's in the playing time<br />
available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 15 overs per hour, which is exclusive of<br />
the provision of drinks intervals, in respect of the lost playing time. Should the calculations result in a<br />
fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.<br />
(ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled,<br />
or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the<br />
revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second<br />
innings started early has elapsed.<br />
(iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled to the team batting second subject<br />
to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the<br />
latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs.<br />
(v) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. With the<br />
inclusion of drinks intervals, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours<br />
and interruptions in play, will be taken into consideration in specifying this time.<br />
(vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of<br />
play, the hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
12.5 Extra Time - 45 Min extra time will be allowed, in the event of playing time lost.<br />
12.6 Number of Over's per Bowler<br />
No bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in an innings.<br />
In a delayed or interrupted match where the overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no<br />
bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed. Where the total over's is not divisible by 5, one<br />
additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance. In the event<br />
of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another<br />
bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.<br />
12.7 Law 12.4 - The toss<br />
Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the field of play and in the presence of the Umpires, who shall<br />
supervise the toss. The toss shall take place not earlier than 30 minutes, nor later than 15 minutes before the<br />
scheduled or any re-scheduled time for the match to start. Note, however, the provisions of Law 1.3 (Captain).<br />
Note: Law 12.5 requiring the captain of the side winning the toss to notify the opposing captain as soon as the toss is<br />
completed of his decision to bat or to field first shall apply.<br />
13. LAW 13 THE FOLLOW-ON<br />
Law 13 shall not apply.<br />
14. LAW 14 DECLARATION AND FORFEITURE<br />
Law 14 shall not apply.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 9
15. LAW 15 INTERVALS<br />
Law 15 shall apply subject to the following: Law 15.3(b) Duration of intervals<br />
15.1 Law 15.5 Changing agreed times for intervals Interval between Innings<br />
If the innings of the team batting first is completed prior to the scheduled time for the interval, the interval shall take<br />
place immediately and the innings of the team batting second will commence correspondingly earlier providing that<br />
this does not lead to an interval occurring more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval. If the innings of the<br />
team batting first is completed more than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval a 10 minute break will occur and<br />
the team batting second will commence its innings and the interval will occur as scheduled. Where the innings of the<br />
side batting first is delayed or interrupted, the length of the interval will be reduced as follows:<br />
i) If up to 15 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time provided),<br />
then the interval will be reduced by the amount of actual playing time lost.<br />
ii) If more than 15 minutes of actual playing time is lost (total playing time lost less any extra time<br />
provided), then the interval will be reduced to 30 minutes (subject to (iii) below).<br />
iii) The prescribed interval timings above may be reduced further by the Umpires taking into account the<br />
intention of not having a prolonged interval after a lengthy interruption close to the conclusion of the<br />
innings of the team batting first. However, the minimum interval shall not be less than ten minutes.<br />
The umpires may decide to play 15 minutes (a minimum of four overs) extra time at the scheduled<br />
interval if requested by either captain if, in the umpires' opinion, it would bring about a definite result<br />
in that session. If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed.<br />
If it is decided to play such extra time, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility<br />
of finishing the match may have disappeared before the full period has expired. Note: In addition to<br />
clauses i), ii) and iii) above, the length of the Interval may be reduced by the Umpires should<br />
exceptional circumstances arise.<br />
15.3 Law 15.9 - Intervals for drinks<br />
Two drinks breaks of 5 minutes in duration per session shall be permitted, each 1 hour 10 minutes apart.<br />
The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may<br />
permit extra intervals for drinks. An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of<br />
a wicket, on the field, provided that no playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the field without the<br />
permission of the umpires. Any player taking drinks onto the field shall be dressed in proper cricket attire<br />
Note: Be mindful of extra drinks being taken out to the batsmen in the middle. In order to reduce the amount of delays<br />
and stoppages, there should be no drinks or glove changes permitted by the umpires within 10 minutes of scheduled<br />
drinks interval.<br />
Guide lines for drinks:<br />
Innings duration: 0 to 99 min - No drinks<br />
Innings duration: 100 to 149 min - 1 drinks<br />
Innings duration: 150 and more - 2 drinks<br />
16. LAW 16 START OF PLAY; CESSATION OF PLAY<br />
Law 16 shall apply subject to the following<br />
(see also clauses 15 and 12.4):<br />
16.1 Start and Cessation Times<br />
There will be 2 sessions of 3 hours and 30 minutes, each separated by a 45 minute interval between innings.<br />
First Session: 09h30 - 13h00<br />
Interval:<br />
13h00 - 13h45<br />
Second Session: 13h45 - 17h15<br />
Note: Convention for the start of an innings<br />
There have been recent examples at the start of an innings where the fielding captain wishes to decide on which<br />
bowler to bowl the first over depending on which batsman is facing and the batsmen wish to decide which batsman<br />
shall face depending on which bowler is bowling the first over, resulting in a stalemate.<br />
The umpires should ensure compliance with the following:<br />
- The umpires take to the field first, and choose the end from which they each will officiate<br />
- The fielding side takes to the field next and informs the umpires from which end they will be -bowling the first over<br />
and who that bowler will be.<br />
- The batsmen take to the field last and with the above information decide who is going to face the first ball.<br />
16.2 Laws 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 shall not apply.<br />
16.3 Laws 16.9, 16.10, and 16.11 shall apply in so far as they are relevant to a one innings limited over's type match.<br />
16.4 Minimum Over Rates: The minimum over rate to be achieved in matches will be 15 overs per hour. The actual over<br />
rate will be calculated at the end of the match. In calculating the actual over rate for the match, allowances will be<br />
given for the actual time lost as a result of any of the following:<br />
16.4.1 Treatment given to a player by an authorized medical personnel on the field of play;<br />
16.4.2 A player being required to leave the field as a result of a serious injury;<br />
16.4.3 Consultations;<br />
16.4.4 Time wasting by the batting side; and<br />
16.4.5 All other circumstances that are beyond the control of the fielding side.<br />
In the event of any time allowances being granted to the fielding team under 16.4.4 above (time wasting by<br />
batting team), then such time shall be deducted from the allowances granted to such batting team in the<br />
determination of its over rate.<br />
16.5 If the over rate is calculated as being under the minimum over rate of 15 overs to the hour, the following shall apply:<br />
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable the Umpires shall inform the team captain and/or team coach of the relevant<br />
fielding team that the NCU Regulations have been breached and that the prescribed sanction in accordance with<br />
Clause 16.6 shall be applied.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 10
(b) If, the umpires, is of the opinion that the minimum over rate was not achieved by the fielding team by reason of<br />
events beyond its control, including (but not limited to) time wasting by the batting team, the Umpires shall be<br />
entitled to amend the over rate calculation as they deems appropriate.<br />
(c) In the event of the Umpires being of the opinion that the conduct of the batting team has prevented the fielding<br />
team from bowling the minimum over rate, the Umpires is entitled<br />
16.6 Sanction<br />
No sanction may be imposed in respect of minimum over rates in the event of the batting team being bowled out, or a<br />
result is achieved, within the time determined for that innings under these conditions to impose a sanction on the<br />
batting team, the maximum sanction being that which can be imposed in accordance with Clause 16.6.<br />
Note: If, the opinion and judgement of the umpires there are repetitive stoppages in play caused by the batting side,<br />
the umpires may apply this Clause. Should there be repetitive stoppages by the batting side, then the on umpires are<br />
to issue a first and final caution to the batsmen at the wicket. A time allowance for the fielding side is NOT to be given<br />
when the fielding team is late to start the innings session through having a huddle upon entering the field provided the<br />
umpires and batsmen are ready to start. Same principle applies for batsmen who are not ready to play at the start of a<br />
session.The clock starts for play when the umpires, are ready to start. The current interpretation of Law 42.9 Time<br />
wasting by the fielding side and ICC Playing Condition (42.8) is as follows: The ICC Playing Condition has only one<br />
type of penalty for wasting time and that is a 5 run penalty. The Law which provides for the bowler to be removed<br />
from the attack for a second time that a member of the fielding side wastes time, falls away. The Playing Conditions<br />
do in 42.8.4 allow for the on-field umpires to report the matter to take appropriate action under the Code of Conduct.<br />
The current interpretation is: Teams have a responsibility to maintain a reasonable over rate throughout the match,<br />
irrespective of whether the team is well ahead of the required over rate. If after an unofficial warning the practice of<br />
intentionally slowing down the over rate continues, the captain should receive an official warning and then be<br />
charged with time wasting if necessary.<br />
The intention of this interpretation has been to give the umpires the ability to act in situations when fielding sides, for<br />
example, tactically slowed the game down, even if they were ahead of the required over rate, to a level which was<br />
against the spirit of the game and the general cricket etiquette. The slowing down of over rates should be obvious to<br />
all watching and playing. The implementation of this interpretation needs to be tightened in the following way:<br />
1. When the pace of play is obviously being tactically and willfully manipulated to a slow and unreasonable level in<br />
the opinion of the umpires, (as a guide 5 over's or less in 30 minutes, not including granted allowances or<br />
stoppages in play) the umpires should alert the captain that his actions are contrary to the spirit of the game and<br />
the umpires should issue an official caution that they are concerned and will be monitoring this closely.<br />
The umpires will monitor the over rate as usual and when they feel the over rate is dropping to below accepted<br />
norms they are to become more vigilant and check every 30 minutes and communicate such to the Captain.<br />
2. If there is no change and the over rate level remains and is at a rate of 11 or 12 over's an hour, the fielding captain<br />
should be given a first and final warning.<br />
3. If, following this final warning, in the opinion of the umpires, the pace of play has not improved and the fielding<br />
side continues to waste time willfully, the on field umpire should take the following action:<br />
- Call and signal dead ball if necessary<br />
- Award 5 runs to the batting side<br />
- Inform the other umpire, report the occurrence to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered<br />
appropriate against the captain and the team concerned under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
4. Should the fielding side not take the appropriate action to increase the pace of play as instructed by the on field<br />
umpires, the umpires should continue to penalize the fielding side as in point 4. Above.<br />
17. LAW 17 - PRACTICE ON THE FIELD<br />
17.1 Law 17.1 - Practice on the pitch or the rest of the square<br />
Law 17.1 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
17.1.1 The use of the square for practice on any day of any match will be restricted to any netted practice area or<br />
bowling strips specifically prepared on the edge of the square for that purpose.<br />
17.1.2 Bowling practice on the bowling strips referred to in 17.1.1 above shall also be permitted during the interval<br />
(and change of innings if not the interval) unless the umpires consider that, in the prevailing conditions of<br />
ground and weather, it will be detrimental to the surface of the square. It has been customary for the bowling<br />
strips and outfield to be used by bowlers and fieldsman (no batting practice on the strips past toss time) to<br />
keep warming up until just before 5mins before the start of play. The umpires should ensure that all practice is<br />
complete and the ground is clear prior to the umpires walking out to commence the game.<br />
17.2 Law 17.3 - Practice on the outfield between the call of play and the call of time<br />
Law 17.3 shall apply save that Law 17.3 (c) shall be replaced with the following: There shall be no bowling or batting<br />
practice on the outfield. Bowling a ball, using a short run up to a player in the outfield is not to be regarded as bowling<br />
practice but shall be subject to the law.<br />
18. LAW 18 - SCORING RUNS<br />
Law 18 shall apply.<br />
19. LAW 10 - BOUNDARIES<br />
19.1 Law 19.3 - Scoring a boundary<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 19.3: If an unauthorized person enters the playing field and handles the<br />
ball, the umpire at the bowler's end shall be the sole judge of whether the boundary allowance should be scored or the<br />
ball be treated as still in play or called dead ball if a batsman is liable to be out as a result of the unauthorized person<br />
handling the ball. See also Law 19.1 (c).<br />
20. LAW 20 - LOST BALL<br />
Law 20 shall apply.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 11
21. LAW 21 - THE RESULT<br />
Law 21 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
21.1 Law 21.1 A win - two innings match<br />
Law 21.1 shall not apply.<br />
21.2 Law 21.2 A win - one innings match<br />
Law 21.2 shall apply in addition to the following:<br />
21.2.1 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing team's<br />
refusal to play (Law 21.3), a result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for<br />
at least 20 overs, unless one team has been all out in less than 20 over's or unless the team batting second<br />
scores enough runs to win in less than 20 overs.<br />
12.2.2 Save for circumstances where a match is awarded to a team as a consequence of the opposing team's<br />
refusal to play (Law 21.3), all matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a<br />
minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared no result.<br />
Guidance to Umpires - This section advises you how to deal with a very specific Scenario.<br />
The innings of the team batting second (Team 2) is interrupted before they have faced 20 overs but when<br />
they are clearly well on course for victory. Once a certain number of over's have been lost, you see from the<br />
DLS print out that Team 2 has already reached any target that could be set for them under DLS.<br />
There can be no further cricket played in the match, since even if conditions improve, Team 2 will not need to<br />
score any more runs to win. The question is, therefore, when is the match a no result and when is it a win for<br />
Team 2? There are two possibilities<br />
1. The playing conditions do not improve in time to allow for even a 20 over innings to be scheduled, then the<br />
match is abandoned as a no result.<br />
2. The playing conditions improve by a time that allows for an innings of at least 20 overs to be scheduled,<br />
then Team 2 will have reached their new DLS target score and so wins the match. Note there is no need<br />
for either team physically to take the field and then immediately walk off again.<br />
Implications for umpires<br />
The umpires need to be in a position to judge fairly whether a resumption that allows Team 2 to face 20 overs<br />
would have been possible, even though in practice no more play will take place. The following procedure<br />
should therefore be followed<br />
1. Once the time is reached when no more play will take place, because any new DLS target would already<br />
have been reached, this should be made clear to all parties.<br />
2. If the umpires then decide on a time by which playing conditions would allow further play (and time for a<br />
minimum 20 over innings), they should inform all parties that provided conditions at that time are indeed<br />
playable, then at that point, the new DLS target will apply and Team 2, having reached their target, will<br />
have won the match.<br />
3. If playing conditions do not allow such a resumption, as soon as the latest time for resuming a 20 over<br />
innings is reached, or as soon as the umpires conclude that no start will be possible by that cut-off time,<br />
then the match is a no result.<br />
21.2 Law 21.3 Umpire awarding a match. Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
21.2.1 A match shall be lost by a side which either<br />
a) Concedes defeat or<br />
b) In the opinion of the Umpires refuses to play and the Umpires shall award the match to the other side.<br />
21.2.2 If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play<br />
then the umpires together shall inform the captain. The umpires shall ascertain the cause of the action. If this<br />
action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, the umpires shall so inform the captain of that side. If the<br />
captain persists in the action the match shall be awarded.<br />
21.2.3 If action as in 21.2.2 above takes place after play has started and does not constitute a refusal to play the<br />
delay or interruption in play shall be dealt with in the same manner as provided for in clauses 12.4.2 above.<br />
21.3 In addition to the consequences of any refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal, whether<br />
temporary or final, may result in disciplinary action being taken against the captain and team responsible under the<br />
Code of Conduct<br />
21.4 Law 21.4 - Matches in which there is an agreement under Law 12.1 (b)<br />
Law 21.4 shall not apply.<br />
21.5 Law 21.5 (a) - A Tie<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 21.5 (a):<br />
21.5.1 If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which<br />
have fallen.<br />
21.6 Law 21.5 (b) - A Draw<br />
Law 21.5 (b) shall not apply<br />
21.7 Prematurely Terminated Matches Calculation of the Target Score<br />
21.7.1 Interrupted Matches Calculation of the Target Score<br />
If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of over's in the innings of either team has<br />
to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 20 over's), then a revised target score (to<br />
win) should be set for the number of over's which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing.<br />
This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method. The target set will<br />
always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (Refer Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations)<br />
21.7.2 Prematurely Terminated Matches<br />
If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 20 over's bowled) and it is not possible for<br />
the match to be resumed, the match will be decided by comparison with the DLS 'Par Score' determined at<br />
the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method (refer Duckworth/Lewis/Stern<br />
Regulations). If the score is equal to the par score, the match is a Tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or<br />
defeat, by the margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the Par Score.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 12
21.8 Law 21.8 - Correctness of result<br />
Any query on the result of the match as defined in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.5, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modified by these<br />
regulations) shall be resolved as soon as possible and a final decision made by the umpires and NCU.<br />
21.9 Points<br />
21.9.1 Win, with bonus point 5<br />
Win, without bonus point 4<br />
Tie 3<br />
No Result 2<br />
Loss 0<br />
In the event of teams finishing on equal points:<br />
The team with the most number of wins<br />
If still equal, the team with the most number of wins over the other team(s) who are equal on points and<br />
have the same number of wins<br />
If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points<br />
If still equal, the team with the highest net run rate<br />
In a match declared as no result, run rate is not applicable.<br />
21.9.2 Net Run Rate<br />
A team's net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team<br />
throughout the competition, the average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition.<br />
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of over's, the calculation of its net run rate shall be<br />
based on the full quota of over's to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of over's in which<br />
the team was dismissed. Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run<br />
rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis/Stern, for<br />
net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2's Par Score on abandonment off the same<br />
number of over's faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with Duckworth/Lewis/Stern having<br />
been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target<br />
Score for Team 2 off the total number of over's allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.<br />
21.9.3 Bonus Points<br />
The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point.<br />
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of<br />
over's faced.<br />
22. LAW 22 - THE OVER<br />
Law 22 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
22.1 Law 22.5 Umpire miscounting<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 22.5: Whenever possible the umpire shall liaise with the scorers if the over<br />
has been miscounted.<br />
23. LAW 23 - DEAD BALL<br />
Law 23 shall apply.<br />
Note: Towel falling from the bowler's trouser during run up / delivery stride - Umpires to have a proactive discussion with the<br />
bowler and warn them that if the batsman complains after the towel has fallen, the ball may be called dead and any dismissal<br />
not allowed<br />
24. LAW 24 - NO BALL<br />
Law 24 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
24.1 Law 24.1 (b) Mode of delivery<br />
Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no<br />
ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled over arm.<br />
24.2 Free Hit<br />
TAKE NOTE: If no NCU Umpires is appointed to the match: FREE HITS WILL NOT BE APPLICABLE, and<br />
only the one run penalty for the no ball will stand.<br />
In addition to the above, the delivery following a no ball called for all modes of no ball shall be a free hit for whichever<br />
batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball) then the<br />
next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed<br />
only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.<br />
Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless:<br />
a) There is a change of striker (the provisions of clause 41.2 shall apply), or<br />
b) The No Ball was the result of a fielding restriction breach, in which case the field may be changed to the extent of<br />
correcting the breach. The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm<br />
straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.<br />
Note: Free hit positioning of the keeper and other factors<br />
Fielders cannot move unless there has been change of strikes. For clarity, the keeper must stay back or up and<br />
not change his position unless there has been a change of striker. Short leg can go off the field if he considers<br />
staying in his original position is too dangerous. Keeper and fielders can put on helmets if they feel it is necessary.<br />
If the front foot no ball is called and at the same time there is a fielding infringement that would have been called<br />
anyway. The captain is entitled to change his field to prevent a further and on going fielding infringement.<br />
(Now in the playing conditions part b) Should there be any foot fault No ball bowled and called, then irrespective<br />
of another type of No ball breach off the same delivery, the next ball shall be a “free hit”.…<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 13
24.3 Fair Delivery - the feet. Law 24.5 shall apply, subject to the final paragraph being replaced by the following: If the<br />
bowler's end umpire is satisfied that any of these three conditions have not been met, he shall call and signal No ball.<br />
Note: The ICC Playing Conditions relating to “Fair Delivery the feet” is different to the MCC Law. The Playing<br />
Condition says “If the bowler's end umpire is satisfied that any of these conditions have not been met, he shall call<br />
and signal No ball.” This means that if the bowler's end umpire cannot be satisfied that the placement of feet has<br />
breached the Law, then the umpire gives the benefit of doubt to the bowler. There must be clear and<br />
conclusive evidence that…<br />
No part of the front foot is grounded or raised behind the popping crease on landing (first contact), or<br />
The back foot did not land within and not touching the return crease, or<br />
The front foot did not land with some part on the same side as the imaginary line joining the two middle stumps ...<br />
in order to rule and signal a No ball.<br />
Front foot - first contact for grounding only for any part of the foot and not applicable for to any raised part of foot.<br />
For a fast bowler this is generally the moment when the heel touches the ground.<br />
Back foot - MCC interpretation. First point of contact, and at the point where the foot touches the ground first.<br />
Delivery is fair even if part of foot is in the air and subsequently touches or slides across return crease.<br />
25. LAW 25 - WIDE BALL<br />
25.1 Law 25.1 - Judging a Wide<br />
Law 25 shall apply with the following addition to Law 25.1:<br />
Umpires are instructed to apply very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent<br />
negative bowling wide of the wicket. Any offside or leg side delivery which in the opinion of the umpire does not give<br />
the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide. A penalty of one run for a wide shall be scored.<br />
This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. All runs, which are run or result<br />
from a wide ball, which is not a no ball, shall be scored wide balls.<br />
Guidelines<br />
A. Leg side<br />
All deliveries directed and bowled down the leg side (behind the body of the striker, standing in his normal batting<br />
stance) will be interpreted as a form of negative bowling and should be called “wide”. However, a ball that passes<br />
down the leg side, but in between the striker and the leg stump, shall not be deemed a “wide” for the purposes of this<br />
Playing Condition as there has been a reasonable opportunity for the batsman to score. There only two exceptions to<br />
this directive are as follows:<br />
1. It is not a “wide” when the batsman moves across to the off stump from his original stance and the ball just<br />
misses the leg stump. Had the batsman not moved towards the off stump but remained in his normal batting<br />
stance the ball would have struck him, thereby negating any wide call.<br />
2. Batsman attempts a reverse sweep or switch hit.<br />
By the batsman playing the switch hit or the reverse sweep or getting in a position to play the shot, he is<br />
deemed to bring the ball sufficiently within his reach - on the leg side as well.<br />
Consequently, in these circumstances, the wider 75cm wide guidelines shall apply on the off side and the leg<br />
side. Simply, when the batsman plays or aborts playing a reverse sweep or a switch hit, these shots negate<br />
the leg stump wide interpretation<br />
B. Offside<br />
Applying the ICC Playing Condition clause 9.2 in conjunction with Law 25 and Playing Condition 25.1, any delivery<br />
that passes outside the wide guideline, with the batsman in a “normal” batting stance, should be called “wide”.<br />
There are three exceptions to this directive as follows:<br />
1. If the batsman brings the ball sufficiently within reach and the ball passes outside the wide “guideline” then it is<br />
not a “wide”. For example, a batsman moving to the off side as the bowler bowls, could bring the ball within his<br />
reach and even if he fails to make contact with the ball though the ball passes outside the “wide” guideline, the<br />
delivery will not be called a wide.<br />
2. In extreme cases where the bowler delivers a ball and it passes wide of the return crease, then regardless<br />
of what movement the striker makes and even if he brings the ball within reach, if he makes no contact<br />
with the ball, then this delivery shall be called “wide”.<br />
3. When a right arm bowler is bowling around the wicket to a right hand batsman, or left arm bowler bowling around<br />
the wicket to a LH batsman and bowls full Yorkers on the off side just on the marked “guideline”; this is deemed a<br />
negative tactic, and the delivery should be called “wide”.<br />
C. Wides/ Height<br />
Height-wides to be judged as though the batsman is standing up at the crease.<br />
Applying the ICC Playing Conditions Clause 42.6 - Fast short pitched balls in:<br />
Being a limited over's contest, the intention is to discourage the bowling of fast short pitched deliveries that pass<br />
above the head of the batsman standing upright at the popping crease.<br />
This type of bowling is considered a form of negative tactic so the directive is to call “wide” for the marginal<br />
deliveries in this category.<br />
The umpire at the bowler's end will be guided by the signal he receives from the square leg umpire. It is agreed<br />
that if the umpire at the bowler's end is in doubt as to the validity of the square leg umpire's judgement, he must<br />
stick with his partner's signal and judgment.<br />
The only exception is when the square leg umpire is unsighted or does not provide a signal for whatever reason<br />
and informs the umpire at the bowler's end of such, through an agreed teamwork signal. The umpire at the<br />
bowler's end must then rule.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 14
· It is suggested that the evidence of the following be considered by the square-leg umpire:<br />
O Ball passing over head<br />
O Keeper catching height<br />
O Steepness of the ball's path post bounce<br />
O Gut feel or instinct<br />
D. Switch Hit<br />
The batsman's grip and stance should be the same from the start of the bowler's run up until the beginning of the<br />
bowler's delivery stride. The batsman can utilize any grip, as long as he does not change it while the bowler is<br />
running in to bowl.<br />
From the beginning of the delivery stride (defined as the moment that the bowler's back foot lands in the delivery<br />
stride), the batsman, if he chooses, may start to play the switch-hit stroke.<br />
If the bowler sees the batsman alter his grip or stance before he enters his delivery stride, he is not compelled to<br />
deliver the ball.<br />
If the bowler does not deliver the ball, in this instance, the umpire shall give the striker an informal warning.<br />
The second time this happens, the striker should be formally warned that he is wasting time under Law 42.10<br />
(Batsman wasting time). This shall constitute a first and final warning, and be applicable to any batsman in that<br />
innings. Any subsequent instances shall result in 5 penalty runs being awarded to the fielding side.<br />
The bowler, having seen the batsman change his grip and/or stance, may decide to bowl at the batsman, and is<br />
entitled to do so. The umpires should allow that option. In short, the batsman is still entitled to play the switch<br />
hit stroke but he is only allowed to alter from one stance or grip to another once the bowler has entered<br />
his delivery stride or the sake of clarity, this video link shows a correct call of NO “wide” …<br />

36. LAW 36 - LEG BEFORE WICKET<br />
Law 36 shall apply.<br />
37. LAW 37 - OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD<br />
Law 37 shall apply.<br />
For the avoidance of doubt, if an umpire feels that a batsman, in running between the wickets, has significantly changed his<br />
direction without probable cause and thereby obstructed a fielder's attempt to effect a run out, the batsman should, on<br />
appeal, be given out, obstructing the field. It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have occurred or not. If the<br />
change of direction involves the batsman crossing the pitch, Law 42.14 shall also apply.<br />
Note: This playing condition confirms that on appeal from the fielding team, if the umpire feels that a batsman, whilst<br />
running between the wickets, has significantly changed his direction without probable cause thereby<br />
obstructing a fielder's attempt to run him out, the batsman should be given out obstructing the field.<br />
In applying this playing condition, umpires should note that:<br />
It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have been affected or not.<br />
In the absence of any other “probable cause” for the change in running direction, the umpires are entitled to assume<br />
that such significant change in direction is indicative of the intent to obstruct the field.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 15
The umpires shall be entitled to consult determining whether the batsman has changed his direction of running or not. As<br />
part of such consultation, they should not only consider whether there was a change in running direction but also whether<br />
there are any other factors which may indicate a “probable cause” for such change in direction other than the intent to<br />
obstruct the field e.g. avoiding the bowler. Following such consultation, the umpires shall make and give the final decision.<br />
NB: The playing condition enhances Law 37 and does not replace it. The circumstances described in the playing<br />
condition (i.e. a batsman significantly changing his direction of running without probable cause) are only one<br />
example of an action which will qualify as wilfully obstructing the field. Accordingly, it is still possible for a batsman to be<br />
given out obstructing the field in circumstances where he has not significantly changed his direction of running provided<br />
that the umpire feels that by some other actions it is clear that the batsman had intended to obstruct the field. This will<br />
depend on the circumstances of each case. Some examples which may indicate such intent are the batsman watching<br />
the fielder throw the ball or watching the ball rather than watching where he had to make his ground or sticking his bat in<br />
the way of the throw etc.<br />
38. LAW 38 - RUN OUT<br />
Law 38 shall apply. In the case where appeals are made for run out after a collision between a fielder and a batsman it is<br />
protocol that the on field umpire clarifies the appeal with the fielding captain before making a decision.<br />
39. LAW 39 - STUMPED<br />
Law 39 shall apply.<br />
40. LAW 40 - THE WICKET-KEEPER<br />
Law 40.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
After the ball comes into play and before it reaches the striker, it is unfair if the wicket-keeper significantly alters his position<br />
in relation to the striker's wicket, except for the following:<br />
(i) Movement of a few paces forward for a slower delivery, unless in doing so it brings him within reach of the wicket.<br />
(ii) Lateral movement in response to the direction in which the ball has been delivered.<br />
(iii) Movement in response to the stroke that the striker Is playing or that his actions suggest he intends to play, however for<br />
the provisions of Law 40.3 (Position of the wicket-keeper) shall apply. In the event of unfair movement by the wicketkeeper,<br />
either umpire shall call and signal Dead ball.<br />
Note: If a wicket keeper walks back to the 30 yard circle or stands in a position where it is felt he is not acting as the wicket<br />
keeper, then the umpires will step in and move him to a normal wicket keeper position (possible dead ball call if that was<br />
during the delivery). The keeper does not have to wear keeping glove(s), but if they are not worn, they must be put in the<br />
back of their trouser or on the ground where a helmet would be normally kept. Should the ball hit the glove(s) not worn,<br />
then a dead ball and 5 penalty runs will be awarded. (Note, ball does not count as one in the over under illegal fielding).<br />
• One glove, no gloves and/or no pads is acceptable, but the keeper needs to be mindful of where he places the<br />
glove/s or pads.<br />
• When the keeper discards his apparel he needs to be mindful of timewasting. During an over the keeper cannot run<br />
on and off retrieving or giving his gloves/pads to his support team. This should be done at the end of the over.<br />
• He must place the gloves within a helmet if there is one or send it off once so as not to waste time.<br />
• If the ball hits the glove, it will be called dead ball, as it is illegal fielding and will cost the team a 5 run penalty, and the<br />
ball will not be counted in the over. The ICC has adopted the new MCC Law Clause and it is consistent with that<br />
applies for a normal fielder. The keeper is permitted to move in response to a shot that that the striker is about to play<br />
before the ball actually reaches the striker.<br />
41. LAW 41 - THE FIELDER<br />
Law 41 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
The exchanging of protective equipment between members of the fielding side on the field shall be permitted provided that<br />
the umpires do not consider that it constitutes a waste of playing time.<br />
41.2 Restrictions on the placement of fieldsmen<br />
41.2.1 At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side.<br />
41.2.2 In addition to the restriction contained in clause 41.2.1 above, further fielding restrictions shall apply to<br />
certain over's in each innings. The nature of such fielding restrictions and the over's during which they shall<br />
apply are set out in the following paragraphs.<br />
41.2.3 The following fielding restrictions shall apply: Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semi<br />
circles shall have as their center the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi<br />
circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 meters). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn<br />
on the field. The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or 'dots' at<br />
5 yard (4.57 meters) intervals, each 'dot' to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc<br />
measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter. At the instant of delivery:<br />
a) Power play 1 - no more than two (2) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area.<br />
In an innings of 50 overs, these are over's 1 to 10 inclusive.<br />
b) Power play 2 - no more than four (4) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area.<br />
In an innings of 50 overs, these are over's 11 to 40 inclusive<br />
c) Power play 3 - no more than five (5) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area.<br />
In an innings of 50 overs, these are over's 41 to 50 inclusive<br />
Note: As an umpiring technique, it may be easier to count the fieldsman outside the circle rather than to<br />
count the fielders inside the circle. Should the square leg umpire notice a fielding restriction infringement<br />
prior to the bowler commencing his run up (eg. Excess fielders outside the circle), it is preferable to hold<br />
up play until the fielding captain complies rather than knowingly allow a “no ball” infringement to occur.<br />
Umpires would need to be consistent with this form of assistance and notification to both sides.<br />
41.2.4 In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of overs within each<br />
phase of the innings shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be<br />
noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 16
41.2.5 If play is interrupted during an innings and the table in 41.2.4 applies, the Power play take immediate effect.<br />
For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over.<br />
Illustrations of 41.2.5 A 50 over inning is interrupted after 8.3 over's and reduced to 32 overs. The new<br />
phases are 7+19+6. Therefore, the middle phase fielding restrictions take immediate effect when play<br />
resumes and last for a further 17.3 over's. The final phase begins after 26 overs have been bowled. A 40 over<br />
innings is interrupted after 18.5 over's and reduced to 22 overs. The new phases are 5+13+4. When play<br />
resumes, the final phase fielding restrictions apply for the remaining 3.1 over's.<br />
41.2.6 At the commencement of the middle and final phases of an innings, the umpire shall signal such<br />
commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle.<br />
41.2.7 The scoreboard shall indicate the current Power play in progress.<br />
41.2.8 In the event of an infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the square leg umpire shall call and<br />
signal 'No Ball'.<br />
41.3 Law 41.7 - Movement by fielders and Law 41.8 Definition of significant movement<br />
Shall be replaced by the following:<br />
Movement by any fielder other than the wicket keeper<br />
Any movement by any fielder, excluding the wicket keeper, after the ball comes into play and before the ball reaches<br />
the striker, is unfair except for the following:<br />
i) Minor adjustments to stance or position in relation to the striker's wicket.<br />
ii) Movement by any fielder in the outfield towards the striker or the striker's wicket that does not significantly alter<br />
the fielder's position.<br />
iii) Movement by any fielder in response to the stroke that the striker is playing or that his actions suggest he intend<br />
to play. Notwithstanding (iii) above, in all circumstances Law 41.5 (Limitation of on side fielders) shall apply.<br />
In the event of such unfair movement, either umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as possible after the<br />
delivery of the ball. Note also the provisions of Law 42.4 (Deliberate attempt to distract the striker).<br />
Refer also to clause 40 - Law 40.4 (Movement by the wicket-keeper).<br />
MCC Guidance notes on the change…<br />
The purpose of the existing Law was to prevent a fielder significantly altering his position as the ball comes into<br />
play, until the ball reaches the striker (e.g. running back from square leg to deep square leg as the bowler runs<br />
in); this being seen as deception and/or distraction of the striker. Close fielders were only allowed minor<br />
adjustments to stance or position, whereas outfielders were permitted to 'walk in' normally towards the striker or<br />
the striker's wicket; anything other than slight movement off line or away from the striker was disallowed.<br />
The intention of the redrafted Law is to retain all of the thrust of the existing Law, but to allow a fielder to move<br />
significantly, before the ball has reached the striker, if it is in response to the stroke the striker is playing or that<br />
his actions suggest he is intending to play. It is felt that such movement is 'intelligent fielding' in response to a<br />
stroke, and should therefore be allowed.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 17
MCC Guidance notes on the change …<br />
Fielders (e.g. cover or short-leg) have altered their position in response to strokes being played as long as<br />
cricket has been played, so to an extent, the Law change is acknowledging existing practice. However,<br />
'deceptive movement' which is intended to distract or deceive the striker should not be allowed mid-on running<br />
back towards long-on as the bowler is running in, for example. It is also felt that the principle that the striker<br />
should be protected from significant movement by a fielder is correct, up to the moment that he moves in<br />
preparation for his stroke; thereafter the fielders should be allowed to move in reaction to how the striker is<br />
shaping to play. In particular, if the striker sets up a position for a 'switch-hit' or 'reverse sweep’ before the bowler<br />
has released the ball, then the fielding side may move in response. However, it was felt that the above principle<br />
should not override the restriction of no more than two fielders, other than the wicket-keeper, behind the popping<br />
crease on the on side at the instant of delivery (Law 41.5), since otherwise the fielding side might try to move<br />
fielders into close-catching positions for bouncers, potentially leading to them being bowled more frequently.<br />
After the ball has been released, however, a fielder may move to this position if it is in reaction to the batsman's<br />
intended shot. As in the existing Law, either umpire will call and signal Dead ball immediately he detects 'illegal’<br />
movement, since it will most frequently occur before the bowler has released the ball.<br />
Note: Mock fielding is feigning possession and/or disposal of the ball with the intent to deceive the batsmen.<br />
In most cases, this deception is intended to prevent an additional run being taken. The practice has been<br />
discussed by both the ICC Technical Committee and the MCC's Laws sub-committee. Both came to the<br />
conclusion that such practice was undesirable. This directive shall apply to circumstances where, in the opinion<br />
of the umpires, in the act of fielding the ball, the fielder has feigned possession and/or disposal of the ball with<br />
the clear intent to deceive the batsmen ('mock fielding'). It is irrelevant whether the act of deception actually<br />
succeeded in deceiving the batsmen or not. The umpires only need to determine that the act was intended to<br />
deceive rather than a fielding error or intended as a spur of the moment humorous act. On the first occurrence of<br />
any incident of 'mock fielding' in an innings, the umpires shall warn the fielder (and his captain) that such action<br />
is considered unfair and that any repeat of such action by any fielder in that innings will result in the strict<br />
application of Law 42.2 with the fielder responsible being reported under the Code of Conduct. If, as a result of<br />
the “mock throw”, a run out looks like a possibility (irrespective of whether it is a first or repeat occurrence) or in<br />
the case of a repeat of such action in the same innings, the umpire shall immediately apply Law 42.2 and shall:<br />
• Intervene and call dead ball. The call and signal of dead ball shall be delayed for as long as possible to see<br />
which team will benefit from the outcome. For example, if the mock fielding does not prevent the batsman<br />
taking the additional run and it is clear that they will make good their ground without risk of being run out, the<br />
call of Dead ball should be delayed until after they have completed the runs. It would be wrong to deprive<br />
them of runs due to an unfair act of the fielding side. If, however, a run out looks a possibility, then Dead ball<br />
should be called before any such run out attempt is made.<br />
• Once the ball is dead, the umpire should tell the captain of the fielding side of the reason for the call,<br />
explaining that it was an unfair act.<br />
• If the action is a repeat in that innings, in addition to the action taken as set out above, a charge under the<br />
Code of Conduct should be laid against the fielder responsible. For the sake of clarity, should "dead ball" be<br />
called and signaled, the delivery is NOT to be re-bowled as it is not part of the Law 42.2 process.<br />
42. LAW 42 - FAIR AND UNFAIR PLAY<br />
42.1 Law 42.1 - Fair and unfair play - responsibility of captains<br />
Law 42.1 shall apply.<br />
42.2 Law 42.2 - Fair and unfair play - responsibility of umpires<br />
Law 42.2 shall apply.<br />
42.3 Law 42.3 - The match ball - changing its condition<br />
Law 42.3 shall apply, subject to the following:<br />
Law 42.3 (d) and (e) shall be replaced with the following:<br />
If the umpires together agree that the deterioration in the condition of the ball is greater than is consistent with the use<br />
it has received, they shall consider that there has been a contravention of this Law. They shall then decide together<br />
whether they can identify the player(s) responsible for such conduct.<br />
42.3.1 If it is possible to identify the player(s) responsible:<br />
(a) Change the ball forthwith.<br />
The batsman at the wicket shall choose the replacement ball from a selection of six other balls of various<br />
degrees of usage (including a new ball) and of the same brand as the ball in use prior to the<br />
Contravention.<br />
Additionally, the bowler's end umpire shall:<br />
(b) Award 5 penalty runs to the batting side.<br />
(c) Inform the captain of the fielding side of the reason for the action taken.<br />
(d) Inform the captain of the batting side as soon as practicable of what has occurred.<br />
(e) Together with the other umpire report the incident to the NCU. who shall take action as is appropriate<br />
against the player(s) responsible for the conduct under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
42.3.2 If it is not possible to identify the player(s) responsible:<br />
(a) Change the ball forthwith.<br />
The umpires shall choose the replacement ball for one of similar wear and of the same brand as the ball<br />
in use prior to the contravention.<br />
(b) The bowler's end umpire shall issue the captain with a first and final warning, and (a) Advise him that<br />
should there be any further incident by that team during the remainder of the match, steps 42.1.1 a to e)<br />
above will be adopted, with the captain deemed under e) to be the player responsible should the umpires<br />
be other player(s) responsible.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 18
Note: There are two main differences in this playing condition compared to Law 42.3.<br />
Playing condition clause 42.3.1 replaces the Law 42.3(e) (ii) and means that a bowler cannot be<br />
removed from the attack for the team's second offence of changing the condition of the ball. For a<br />
second offence the process of a 5 run penalty to the batting side shall be repeated. The penalty for<br />
this occurrence will be dealt with further by reporting it as a breach of the Code of Conduct. If it is<br />
clear that the condition of the ball has been changed but the player concerned cannot be identified,<br />
then the Captain of the fielding side would be reported. Under the new Playing Condition, the<br />
Captain is to be given a first and final official warning and be told that the ball was being changed as,<br />
in the opinion of the umpires the condition of the ball had been changed unnaturally.<br />
This allows the umpires to be direct and transparent in their dealings on ball tampering.<br />
Points to remember:<br />
1. Both umpires must agree on any action taken if there is no agreement the status quo would remain.<br />
2. It is stressed that umpires needed to be firmly of the view that the condition of the ball has been altered<br />
unnaturally as this physical evidence needs to stand up to a hearing, should there be a second offence.<br />
3. The first and final warning is held for that game.<br />
Clause 42.3.2 deals with the process when the umpires cannot identify the player(s) responsible and<br />
directs the Umpires to provide the fielding Captain with a warning while changing the ball for one of<br />
similar wear before this point. The warning is a final caution under this Law and if a repeat occurrence<br />
happens in the same match, then the actions of Clause 42.1.1 will be carried out.<br />
42.4 Law 42.4 - Deliberate attempt to distract striker<br />
Law 42.4 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.5 Law 42.5 - Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman<br />
Law 42.5 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
In addition, the umpire shall report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.6 Law 42.6 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling<br />
42.6.1 Law 42.6 (a) The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched Balls<br />
Law 42.6 (a) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
(a) A bowler shall be limited to two fast short-pitched deliveries per over.<br />
(b) A fast short-pitched delivery is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder<br />
height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease.<br />
(c) The umpire at the bowler's end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short<br />
pitched delivery has been bowled.<br />
(d) In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to Clause 42.4.1 (f) below, a ball that passes<br />
above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a<br />
normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide.<br />
(e) For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing<br />
condition shall also count as one of the allowable short pitched deliveries in that over. In the event of a<br />
bowler bowling more than two fast short-pitched deliveries in an over as defined in Clause 42.4.1 (b)<br />
above, the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A differential<br />
signal shall be used to signify a fast short pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal 'no<br />
ball' and then tap the head with the other hand.<br />
(f) In the event of a bowler bowling more than two fast short-pitched deliveries in an over as defined in<br />
Clause 42.4.1(b) above, the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion.<br />
A differential signal shall be used to signify a fast short-pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal<br />
“no ball” and then tap the head with the other hand.<br />
(g) If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball and when<br />
the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the<br />
batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings.<br />
(h) If there is a second instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than two fast short<br />
pitched deliveries in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his final warning for the innings.<br />
(i) Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal<br />
no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over<br />
shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof,<br />
nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof.<br />
(j) The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.<br />
(k) The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as<br />
possible to the captain of the batting side.<br />
(l) The umpires may report the matter to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered appropriate<br />
against the captain and the bowler concerned(Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play Responsibility<br />
of the Captains.)The above is not a substitute for Clause 42.7 below which umpires are able to apply at<br />
any time.<br />
Please note: The agreed directive that the umpires call the marginal wide deliveries in favour of the<br />
batsman still applies. Laws 42.6 and 42.7 have been replaced totally with this playing condition. It is<br />
imperative that a consistent interpretation of short pitched bowling is applied by both umpires and it is<br />
expected that both umpires will work closely as a team to apply this restriction. It must be remembered that<br />
this not only applies to deliveries that pass beyond the striker but also deliveries that would have passed<br />
over shoulder height standing up, had the batsman not hit it. Once it has been decided that a short pitched<br />
ball has been delivered in the over, a clear signal should be given once the ball is dead thus enabling the<br />
batsmen, bowler and spectators to be aware of what has happened. It is good practice to ensure that the<br />
bowler is aware of the call by looking for an acknowledgement.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 19
Should the fast short pitched delivery pass over the head of the striker, standing upright at the<br />
crease, the ball will be called a wide ball immediately.<br />
The regulations also make it clear that any no balls or wide balls which are fast short pitched<br />
deliveries must be counted as part of the allocation for that over, despite the ball not counting as one<br />
of the over.<br />
The interpretation of this should be applied not only to a ball passing over a batsman's head but also<br />
to those that would have passed over a batsman's head. The effect of this will be that a no ball can<br />
still be called even though the batsman has struck the ball with his bat.<br />
If a bowler exceeds the permitted number of fast short pitched deliveries in an over then the<br />
disciplinary procedure is clearly laid out in the regulation and should be applied immediately.<br />
A differential signal has been assigned in order to inform the scorer of the reason for the no ball call.<br />
Please note that this offence is dealt with independent of any other instances of dangerous and<br />
unfair bowling unlike the Laws of cricket.<br />
42.6.2 Law 42.6 (b) Bowling of High Full Pitched Balls<br />
Law 42.6 (b) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
(a) Any delivery, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing<br />
upright at the popping crease is deemed unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the<br />
striker.<br />
(b) In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball as defined in Clause 42.4.2 (a) above, the umpire<br />
at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is<br />
considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman, the umpire at the bowler's end shall, in addition<br />
to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, caution the bowler and issue a first and final<br />
warning. The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the<br />
wicket of what has occurred.<br />
(c) Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to<br />
inflict physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall in addition to<br />
calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.<br />
If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous<br />
over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof.<br />
(d) The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.<br />
(e) The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsman at the wicket and as soon as<br />
possible to the captain of the batting side.<br />
(f) The umpires may report the matter to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered appropriate<br />
against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play<br />
Responsibility of the Captains.)<br />
Note: There is now discretion available to the umpires as to whether or not a bowler is reported under the<br />
Code of Conduct after being removed from the attack here. Where conditions are slippery and there are<br />
significant mitigating circumstances (eg rain or dew), then the umpires may not report a breach of the Code.<br />
42.7 Law 42.7 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling Action by the umpire<br />
Law 42.7 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
Regardless of any action taken by the umpire as a result of a breach of Clauses 42.4.1, 42.4.2 and 2.6 the following<br />
shall apply at any time during the match:<br />
42.7.1 The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler's end he considers<br />
that by their repetition and taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict<br />
physical injury on the striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and equipment he may be wearing. The<br />
relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration.<br />
42.7.2 In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the bowler's end shall adopt the following procedure:<br />
(a) In the first instance the umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and inform the other<br />
umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen of what has occurred.<br />
(b) If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a<br />
final warning.<br />
(c) Both the above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later<br />
change ends.<br />
(d) Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal<br />
no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over<br />
shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof,<br />
nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. See Law 22.8. (Bowler Incapacitated or Suspended<br />
during an Over).<br />
(e) The bowler thus taken off shall not be able to bowl again in that innings.<br />
(f) The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as<br />
possible to the captain of the batting side.<br />
(g) The umpires may report the matter to the CSA Match Referee who shall take such action as is considered<br />
appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play<br />
Responsibility of the Captains.) Should the umpires initiate the caution and warning procedures set out in<br />
Clauses 42.6.1, 42.6.2, and 42.7 such cautions and warnings are not to be cumulative.<br />
Note: This clause is different from the Law as the bowler has to infringe with “unintentional beamers”<br />
only twice in order to be removed from the attack. Under the clause of bowling high full tosses<br />
(beamers), the bowler gets only one warning as a final caution this applies even if the act was an<br />
accident and the ball slips. The only warning and caution under this playing condition is to be treated as<br />
separate to any other warning under clause 42.6 Dangerous and Unfair Bowling.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 20
42.8 Law 42.8 - Deliberate bowling of High Full Pitched Balls<br />
Law 42.8 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
If the umpire considers that a high full pitch delivery which is deemed unfair as defined in Clause 42.4.2 was<br />
deliberately bowled, then the caution and warning process shall be dispensed with.<br />
The umpire at the bowler's end shall:<br />
42.8.1 Call and signal no ball.<br />
42.8.2 When the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.<br />
42.8.3 Not allow the bowler to bowl again in that innings.<br />
42.8.4 Ensure that the over is completed by another bowler, provided that the bowler does not bowl two over's or<br />
part thereof consecutively.<br />
42.8.5 Report the occurrence to the other umpire, to the captain of the batting side and the NCU who shall take such<br />
action as is considered appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1<br />
Fair and Unfair Play Responsibility of the Captains).<br />
Note: This clause is different from the Law as the bowler has to infringe with “unintentional beamers” only<br />
twice in order to be removed from the attack. Under the clause of bowling high full tosses (beamers), the<br />
bowler gets only one warning as a first and final warning this applies even if the act was an accident and the<br />
ball slips. The only warning and caution under this playing condition is to be treated as separate to any other<br />
warning under clause 42.6 Dangerous and Unfair Bowling. As a guide, any delivery from any bowler, that<br />
would not have been called wide due to width or height, that passes or would have passed above the waist of<br />
the batsman (belt height) shall be called a “no ball” with a first and final caution. Deliveries that are so wide of<br />
the striker cannot be considered as likely to inflict physical injury and will only be subject to the “no ball” call<br />
with no official caution or warning process. As a further guide, it is expected that balls around the “belt height”<br />
will be called and if the height is marginal (very close and you have a small amount of doubt), then the playing<br />
condition will be applied accordingly. Ie. If in doubt, call “no ball” and apply the playing condition.<br />
42.9 Law 42.9 - Time Wasting by the Fielding Side<br />
Law 42.9 shall apply subject to Law 42.9 (b) being replaced by the following:<br />
If there is any further waste of time in that innings, by any member of the fielding side the umpire shall:<br />
42.8.1 Call and signal dead ball if necessary, and;<br />
42.8.2 Award 5 penalty runs to the batting side<br />
(See Law 42.17).<br />
42.8.3 Inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible the captain of the batting side of<br />
what has occurred.<br />
42.8.4 Report the occurrence to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the<br />
captain and the team concerned under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.10 Law 42.10 - Batsman Wasting Time<br />
Law 42.10 shall apply, subject to the following:<br />
If the incoming batsman is not in position to take guard or his partner not ready to receive the next ball within<br />
2 minutes of the fall of the previous wicket, the action should be regarded by the umpires as time wasting and the<br />
provisions of Law 42.10 shall apply. The umpires should be especially vigilant in the monitoring of batsmen who<br />
waste time by taking time to settle into their guard or generally. In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the<br />
NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.11 Law 42.11 - Damaging the pitch area to be protected<br />
Law 42.11 shall apply.<br />
42.12 Law 42.12 - Bowler running on protected area after delivering the ball<br />
Law 42.12 shall apply, subject to 42.12 (d) (iv) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires may report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.13 Law 42.13 - Fieldsman damaging the pitch<br />
Law 42.13 shall apply.<br />
In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.14 Law 42.14 - Batsman damaging the pitch<br />
Law 42.14 shall apply.<br />
See also clause 37 above.<br />
Law interpretation<br />
Striker taking guard / stance inside the “protected area”<br />
o Bowler is not allowed the play the game in the protected area and neither is the batsman<br />
o The striker is not allowed to stand / take guard in the protected area<br />
o The striker can play his shot, finishing the shot inside the protected area but he must move off immediately after<br />
completing his stroke. Umpires will be strict on this and warn the batsman when appropriate.<br />
42.15 Law 42.15 - Bowler attempting to run out non-striker before delivery<br />
Law 42.15 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to<br />
deliberately attempt to run out the non-striker. Whether the attempt is successful or not, the ball shall not count as<br />
one of the over. If the bowler fails in an attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as<br />
soon possible.<br />
Note: Previously, the bowler could only run out a non-striker backing up if he did so before he entered his delivery<br />
stride. This meant that as the bowler's back foot landed, the non-striker could move down the wicket a considerable<br />
way before the bowler actually delivered the ball. This was considered unfair. The new playing condition addresses<br />
this point. The new playing condition provides that the bowler is permitted to run out the striker at any point before he<br />
releases the ball provided he has not completed his delivery swing.<br />
Please note: If the bowler breaks the wicket in delivering the ball, and the non-striker is out of his ground<br />
when the wicket is broken, the umpire shall not view this as having been an attempt to run out the non-striker<br />
and play shall continue with Law 24.6 applying.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 21
The umpires should note the following points in interpreting the new playing condition:<br />
• A bowler should be deemed to have completed his delivery swing once his arm passes the normal point of ball<br />
release.<br />
• The normal point of ball release should be interpreted as the moment when the delivery arm is at its highest point.<br />
The new guideline for the on umpires protocol when a bowler attempts to run out the non-striker before delivery<br />
is as follows:<br />
The umpire at the non-striker's end must respond to the appeal in the normal way.<br />
If he is uncertain as to whether a run out was correctly effected, he is to consult on all counts, including whether<br />
the wicket was broken correctly, the batsman was out of his ground and the bowler effected the run out prior to<br />
him releasing the ball. i.e. before the moment of his normal delivery release.<br />
There is to be no communication with the fielding captain, regarding the initial appeal.<br />
The fielding captain is able to voluntarily withdraw the appeal if he so wishes, before the batsman has<br />
left the field of play, as per Law 27.8.<br />
Please note:<br />
- If any member of the fielding side appeals, the umpires will be duty bound to make a decision.<br />
- Umpires may warn a non-striker if he is seen to be taking unfair advantage by moving too early down the pitch,<br />
similar to the warning a bowler might receive from the umpire should his front foot be creeping close to a no ball.<br />
- Also note the reference to Law 42.2 “Umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play”.<br />
42.16 Law 42.16 - Batsman stealing a run<br />
Law 42.16 shall apply, subject to 42.16(vi) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires may report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />
42.17 Law 42.17 - Penalty runs<br />
Law 42.17 shall apply.<br />
42.18 Law 42.18 - Players' conduct<br />
Law 42.18 shall apply, subject to 42.18(iii) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU under the Code of Conduct.<br />

A match is played between two sides.<br />
Each side shall consist of 11 players, one of whom shall be captain.<br />
1.2. Nomination of Players:<br />
Law 1.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />

The following shall apply in addition to Law 1.3 (a):<br />
The deputy must be one of the 11 nominated starting players.<br />
2. Law 2 - Substitutes and Runners; Batsman or Fielders Leaving the Field; Batsman Retiring; Batsman<br />
Commencing Innings<br />
Law 2 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
2.1 Substitutes and Runners<br />
Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply.<br />
A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.<br />
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows:<br />
The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a<br />
nominated player at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.<br />
2.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field<br />
Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a<br />
session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the<br />
field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such<br />
consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes:<br />
2.2.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team has<br />
subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter referred to as<br />
penance time), subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. If any unexpired penance time<br />
remains at the end of the first innings, it is carried forward to the second innings of the match.<br />
2.2.2. The player shall not be permitted to bat in the match until his team's batting innings has been in progress for the<br />
length of playing time that is equal to the unexpired penance time carried forward from the previous innings,<br />
subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. However, once his side has lost five wickets in<br />
its batting innings, he may bat immediately. For the purposes of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, playing time shall comprise the<br />
time play is in progress excluding lunch and tea intervals, intervals between innings and official drinks<br />
intervals. However, in the event of a batsman or a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of<br />
an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he<br />
shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the<br />
umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of<br />
an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a<br />
player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall<br />
automatically be allowed to count any such stop-page time as playing time, provided he returns to the field of<br />
play immediately after the interruption. The restriction in Clauses 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 above shall not apply if the<br />
player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst<br />
participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player<br />
has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness).<br />
2.2.3 Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable<br />
reasons. 'Wholly acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not<br />
include what is commonly referred to as a 'comfort break'.<br />

(a) Each team shall bat for 45 overs unless all out earlier or a result achieved.<br />
(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the<br />
first innings, play shall continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is<br />
completed. In addition, if the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the<br />
scheduled cessation for the first innings, 12 penalty runs will be awarded to the side batting<br />
second, for every over not bowled. The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the first innings is reached, will be completed and count as a completed over. For the sake of<br />
clarity only overs not bowled after the completion of the over in progress at the scheduled<br />
cessation time for the first innings shall be scored as penalty runs. Such penalty runs will be<br />
scored as penalty extras.<br />
(c) The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the scheduled time, subject<br />
to there being a minimum interval of 10 minutes. The team batting second shall receive its full quota of 45<br />
overs irrespective of the number of overs it bowled by the scheduled cessation time for the first innings.<br />
(d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the second innings, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of over's have been<br />
bowled or a result is achieved. In addition, if the team fielding second fails to bowl the required<br />
number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the second innings, the side batting second<br />
has the option to either accept 12 penalty runs for every over not bowled, or to continue batting.<br />
The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time is reached, will be completed and count<br />
as a completed over. For the sake of clarity only full overs not bowled after the completion of the<br />
over in progress at the scheduled cessation time shall be scored as penalty runs. Once this<br />
decision has been taken it is irreversible. Such penalty runs will be scored as penalty extras.<br />
(e) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 45 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat<br />
for 45 overs.<br />
(f) In determining the time at which the required number of overs have to be completed, the umpires<br />
shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the actual time<br />
taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the actual time lost<br />
due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(g) In addition to the penalties in (b) and (d) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of Conduct,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
12.4.2 Delayed or Interrupted Matches<br />
(a) Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting First<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be<br />
based on a rate of 16 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the<br />
total remaining time available for play. When determining the time available for play, the total number<br />
of minutes remaining until the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining<br />
number of minutes have been determined, an allowance of 10 minutes for 1 drinks breaks in each<br />
innings (a total of 20 minutes) and an allowance of 15minutes for the change of innings interval shall<br />
be made. In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over shall be<br />
applied. If such calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be rounded up in order to<br />
allow for a full over to be bowled. For example 35.4 over's shall become 36 over's.<br />
Example of calculations:<br />
Start of play is delayed until 14h25<br />
Number of minutes remaining: 235 minutes<br />
Allow 20 minutes for two drinks breaks<br />
Allow 15 minutes for change of innings interval<br />
Playing time remaining: 195 minutes<br />
195 minutes divided by 3.75 = 52 over's<br />
Each side shall receive a maximum of 26 over's<br />
Rescheduled time for the interval: 16:13 (26 x 3.75 = 98 minutes)<br />
98 minutes plus 10 minutes for drinks break<br />
The second inning will commence at 16:28<br />
The rescheduled close of play will be: 18:16<br />
4 bowlers may bowl a maximum of 5 overs and 1 bowler may bowl 6 over's<br />
(ii) The revision of the number of over's should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 over's have to be bowled to the side<br />
batting second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) No drinks breaks shall be scheduled for innings' of 24 over's or less duration.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 25
(b)<br />
(iv) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's<br />
faced by Team 1 multiplied by 3.75, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of<br />
(12.4.2b) below take effect.<br />
(v) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play<br />
for the match, by applying a rate of 16 over's per hour. When calculating the length of<br />
playing time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of<br />
all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and intervals, including<br />
those for drinks, will be taken into consideration.<br />
This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest possible<br />
rescheduled time for cessation of play.<br />
(vi) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not<br />
having bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation times<br />
for the first and second innings.<br />
(vii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed,<br />
the umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of<br />
play, the actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious<br />
injury and the actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the<br />
players<br />
(viii) The team batting second shall receive its full quota of over's irrespective of the number of<br />
over's it bowled by the rescheduled cessation time for the first innings.<br />
(ix) In cases where the team bowling first did not bowl the required number of over's by<br />
the rescheduled cessation time for the innings, the interval shall be reduced to enable<br />
the second innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum<br />
interval of 10 minutes.<br />
(x) In addition to the penalties in (12.4.2.a.v) above, the captain may be charged under the<br />
Code of Conduct, conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team<br />
batting second to have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation<br />
of over's in the playing time available, the revised number of over's to be bowled in<br />
the match shall be based on a rate of 16 over's per hour, which is exclusive of the<br />
provision of the drinks interval, in the total remaining time available for play. When<br />
determining the time available for play, the total number of minutes remaining until<br />
the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining number of<br />
minutes has been determined, an allowance of 10 minutes for a drinks break shall be<br />
made. In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over<br />
shall be applied. If such calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be<br />
rounded up in order to allow for a full over to be bowled.<br />
For example 27.1 over's shall become 28 over's.<br />
Example of calculations:<br />
The start of the second innings is delayed until16h30<br />
Number of minutes remaining: 105 minutes<br />
Allow 10 minutes for a drinks break<br />
Playing time remaining: 95 minutes<br />
95 minutes divided by 3.75 = 26.66 over's<br />
25.33 over's are rounded up to 26 over's<br />
The side batting second shall receive a maximum of 26 over's<br />
4 bowlers may bowl a maximum of 5 overs and 1 bowler may bowl 6 over's<br />
(ii) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of over's than the first team<br />
unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated over's. To constitute a match,<br />
a minimum of 20 over has to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not<br />
being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) If the drinks break already occurred at the time of the interruption, the 10 minute allowance<br />
for such drinks break shall not be made in determining the time remaining in the match.<br />
No drinks breaks shall be scheduled for innings' of 24 over's or less duration.<br />
(iv) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour.<br />
When calculating the length of playing time available for the match, or the length of either<br />
innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours,<br />
interruptions in play, and intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into consideration<br />
when specifying this time.<br />
This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest possible<br />
rescheduled time for cessation of play<br />
(v) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the<br />
scheduled, or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation<br />
relating to the revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to<br />
that by which the second innings started early has elapsed.<br />
(vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised over's by the re-scheduled close of play,<br />
the hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
(vii) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not<br />
having bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation time<br />
for the innings.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 26
(viii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed, the<br />
umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play,<br />
the actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury<br />
and the actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(ix) In addition to the penalties in (vi) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of<br />
Conduct, conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
12.5 Extra Time<br />
No extra time is permitted where the start of play is delayed or play is suspended.<br />
12.6 Number of Overs per Bowler<br />
No bowler shall bowl more than 9 overs in an innings.<br />
In a delayed or interrupted match where the over's are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no<br />
bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed.<br />
Where the total over's is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler<br />
necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the<br />
remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler.<br />
Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.<br />
12.7 Minimum number of overs required to be bowled<br />
12.7.1 The minimum number of overs to be bowled by the fielding team shall be 16 overs per hour.<br />

commence correspondingly earlier. Notwithstanding the above, the interval shall in all cases be a minimum of<br />
10 minutes.<br />
15.2 Intervals for drinks<br />
One drinks break of 10 minutes duration per innings is permitted.<br />
The drink break shall occur after 23 overs have been completed in the innings. If a wicket falls within 5 minutes of the<br />

20. Law 20 - Lost Ball<br />
Law 20 shall apply.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 27
21. Law 21 - The Result<br />
Law 21 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
21.1 A win - Two Innings Match<br />
Law 21.1 shall not apply.<br />
Law 21.2 shall apply in addition to the following:<br />
21.2.1 A result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 20 overs, unless<br />

Law 21.4 shall apply in addition to the following:<br />
21.3.1 If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets, which<br />
have fallen.<br />
21.5 Delayed or Interrupted Matches calculation of the Target Score<br />
Promotion League only<br />
If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of over's in the innings of either team has to be<br />
revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 20 over's), then a revised target score (to win) should<br />
be set for the number of over's which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target<br />
is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis method. The target set will always be a whole number and one<br />
run less will constitute a Tie.<br />
All other leagues<br />
The score of the team batting first shall be recorded at the end of each over. If owing to suspension of play during the<br />
innings of the team batting second, it is not possible for that team to have the opportunity of batting for the same<br />
number of over's as the team batting first, then the team batting second will bat for a number of over's to be calculated<br />
as in 12.4.2 (b) above. In this instance the result will be based on the score achieved by the side batting second in<br />
comparison to that of the side have batted first after the same number of over's.<br />
Points<br />
The points system for all other leagues is as follows:<br />
Win 4<br />
Tie 3<br />
No Result 2<br />
Loss 1<br />
The points system for Promotion league is as follows:<br />
Win, with bonus point 6<br />
Win, without bonus point 5<br />
Tie 4<br />
No Result 3<br />
Loss, but not conceding a bonus point 1<br />
Loss conceding bonus point 0<br />
Bonus Points for Promotion league<br />
1 Bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition.<br />
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the number of runs scored divided by the number of over's faced.<br />
Where a side is all out, the number of over's to be used is the maximum number of over's that side was otherwise<br />
eligible to face. Where matches are shortened and targets revised through the Duckworth/Lewis system, bonus run<br />
rates and bonus defensive targets are derived as a function of the revised target score and maximum over's.<br />
21.6 Correctness of result<br />
Any query on the result of the match as defined in Laws 21.2, 21.3, 21.4, 21.8 and 21.10 (as modified by these<br />
regulations) shall be resolved as soon as possible and a final decision made by the umpires at close of play.<br />
21.7.4 FINAL LOG POSITIONS<br />
In the event of teams finishing on an equal number of points in the section log, the position on the log shall be<br />
decided in the following order of priority:<br />
(i) The team having the greater number of wins.<br />
(ii) If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points (promotion league).<br />

that by their repetition and taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict<br />
physical injury on the striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and equipment he may be wearing.<br />

appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play -<br />
Responsibility of the Captains.) Should the umpires initiate the caution and warning procedures set out in<br />
Clauses 42.6.1, 42.6.2, and 42.7 such cautions and warnings are not to be cumulative.<br />
42.8 Deliberate bowling of High Full Pitched Balls<br />
Law 42.8 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
If the umpire considers that a high full pitch delivery which is deemed unfair as defined in Clause 42.6.2 was<br />

The umpire at the bowler's end shall:<br />
42.8.1 Call and signal no ball.<br />

field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such<br />
consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes:<br />
2.2.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team has<br />
subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter referred to as<br />

Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for play).<br />
www.flicx.co.za<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 34
3.3.1 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light<br />
a) All references to ground include the pitch. See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).<br />
b) If at the umpires together agree, that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is<br />
obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or<br />
dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence<br />
or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the<br />
umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the<br />
ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so<br />
wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free<br />
movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these<br />
conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place.<br />
c) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions.<br />
They shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that<br />
conditions are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game.<br />
d) If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the<br />
umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and<br />
foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for<br />
play to take place.<br />
4. LAW 4 - THE SCORERS<br />
Law 4 shall apply.<br />
5. LAW 5 - THE BALL<br />
5.1 Approval and control of balls<br />
Law 5.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
5.1.1. Match balls as approved by the <strong>Northerns</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Union</strong> shall be used in all matches. Used balls of the same<br />

i) When playing time has been lost the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be<br />
based on a rate of 14.11 over's per hour in the total remaining time available for play.<br />
ii) The revision of the number of over's should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 over's have to be bowled to the side batting<br />
second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
iii) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's faced by Team<br />
1 multiplied by 4.25, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 b) below take effect.<br />
iv) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the<br />
match, by applying a rate of 14.11 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time<br />
available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays,<br />
extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and the interval will be taken into consideration. This<br />
calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the original or rescheduled time for<br />
cessation of play on the final scheduled day for play. If required the original time shall be extended to<br />
allow for one extra over for each team.<br />
v) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the revised number of over's by the specified time, play shall<br />
continue until the required number of over's have been bowled or the innings is completed.<br />
vi) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates<br />
b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to have<br />
the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of over's in the playing time available,<br />
the number of over's shall be reduced at a rate of 14.11 over's per hour in respect of the lost playing<br />
time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.<br />
ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled, or<br />
re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the revision<br />
of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings<br />
started early has elapsed.<br />
iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 over's have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to a<br />
result not being achieved earlier.<br />
iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of over's than the first team unless the<br />
latter completed its innings in less than its allocated over's.<br />
v) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 14.11 overs per hour. The timing<br />
and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken<br />
into consideration in specifying this time.<br />
vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised over's by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of<br />
play, the hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates .<br />

No bowler shall bowl more than 4 overs in an innings. In a delayed or interrupted match where the over's are reduced<br />
for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed.<br />
Where the total over's is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler<br />
necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the<br />
remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each<br />
bowler's limit is concerned.<br />
12.7 The toss<br />
Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the field of play and in the presence of the umpires. The toss shall<br />

scheduled cessation time for the first innings, the umpires shall reduce the length of the interval by the amount of time<br />
that the first innings over-ran. The minimum time for the interval will be 10 minutes.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 37

In the event of any time allowances being granted to the fielding team under 16.2 (d) above (time wasting by batting<br />
team), then such time shall be de-ducted from the allowances granted to such batting team in the determination of its<br />
over rate. In addition to the allowances as provided for above, In the case of an innings that has been reduced due to<br />
any delay or interruption in play, an additional allowance of 1 minute for every full 3 overs by which the innings is<br />
reduced will be granted, an additional allowance of 1 minute will be given for each of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th wickets<br />
taken during an innings. If a side is bowled out within the time determined for that innings pursuant to these playing<br />

If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of over's in the innings of either team has<br />
to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 5 over's), then a revised target score (to<br />
win) should be set for the number of over's which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing.<br />
This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method. The target set will<br />
always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie. (Refer Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations).<br />
21.7.2 Prematurely Terminated Matches<br />
If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 5 over's bowled) and it is not possible for<br />

to play.<br />

Procedure for the Super Over<br />
The following procedure will apply should the provision for a Super Over be adopted in any match.<br />
1. Subject to weather conditions the Super Over will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined<br />
by the umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match.<br />
2. The amount of extra time allocated to the Super Over is the greater of (a) the extra time allocated to the original match less<br />
the amount of extra time actually utilized and (b) the gap between the actual end of the match and the time the original match<br />
would have been scheduled to finish had the whole of the extra time pro-vision been utilized. Should play be delayed prior to<br />
or during the Super Over once the playing time lost exceeds the extra time allocated, the Super Over shall be abandoned.<br />
See clause 15.<br />
3. The Super Over will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by<br />
the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the NCU.<br />
4. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match.<br />
5. In both innings of the Super Over, the fielding side shall choose from which end to bowl.<br />
6. Only nominated players in the main match may participate in the Super Over. Should any player (including the batsmen and<br />
bowler) be unable to continue to participate in the Super Over due to injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons, the<br />
relevant Laws and Playing Conditions as they apply in the main match shall al-so apply in the Super Over.<br />
7. Any penance time being served in the main match shall be carried forward to the Super Over.<br />
8. Each team's over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for the last over in a normal T20.<br />
9. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over.<br />
10. The fielding captain or his nominee shall select the ball with which he wishes to bowl his over in the Super Over from the box of<br />
spare balls provided by the umpires. Such box to include the balls used in the main match, but no new balls. The team fielding<br />
first in the Super Over shall have first choice of ball. The team fielding second may choose to use the same ball as chosen by<br />
the team bowling first. If the ball needs to be changed, then playing conditions as stated for the main match shall apply.<br />
11. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team's one over innings.<br />
12. In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, if the original match was a tie<br />
under the D/L method, clause 14 immediately applies. Otherwise, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of<br />
boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner.<br />
13. If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batsmen scored more boundaries during its innings<br />
in the main match (ignoring the Super Over) shall be the winner.<br />
14. If still equal, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery<br />
shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls.<br />
Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the<br />
previous legitimate ball, i.e. including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.<br />
Example:<br />
RUNS SCORED FROM: TEAM 1 TEAM 2<br />
Ball 6 1 1<br />
Ball 5 4 4<br />
Ball 4 2 1<br />
Ball 3 6 2<br />
Ball 2 0 1<br />
Ball 1 2 6<br />
In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However team 1 scored<br />
2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner. 15 Clause 2 examples: Scheduled finish 5.00,<br />
30 minutes extra time available, so scheduled finish time if the whole of the extra time provision is utilized is 5.30.<br />
a) No extra time is utilized in the original match which overruns ten minutes and finishes at 5.10. The Super Over is<br />
scheduled to start at 5.20 with 30 minutes extra time available. It starts on time but is interrupted at 5.25. Play must<br />
resume by 5.55 otherwise the Super Over is abandoned.<br />
b) 20 minutes of extra time was utilized, with the match scheduled to finish at 5.20, but it actually finishes at 5.10. Therefore<br />
the extra time allocated to the Super Over is the greater of a) 10 minutes (30 minutes extra time less 20 already utilized)<br />
and b) 20 minutes (the gap from the actual finish time of 5.10 and the scheduled finish had the full extra time been<br />
utilized of 5.30). The Super Over was due to start at 5.20, but is delayed by rain. It must therefore start by 5.40 or the<br />
Super Over is abandoned.<br />
c) The match finishes at 5.40 (having started 30 minutes late and overrun by 10 minutes). There is no extra time allocated<br />
to the Super Over which should start at 5.50. Any delay or interruption after 5.50 means the Super Over is abandoned.<br />

1. LAW 1 - THE PLAYERS<br />
1.1 Law 1.2 Nomination of players<br />
The following shall apply in place of Clause 1.1:<br />
If the late withdrawal of a player nominated to participate in a Sunfoil Series 4-Day, Momentum 1-Day Cup, Ram Slam<br />
T20 Challenge match necessitates the promotion of a player nominated to a CSA Provincial 3-Day Challenge match,<br />
such player shall by right, be permitted a replacement after the nomination.<br />
(Refer to Clause 2.2 Law 2.3 Restrictions on the role of substitutes, as modified). Subject to the provisions of Clause<br />
1.1, the replacement player shall by right be entitled to bat, bowl or keep wicket. If the promoted player is batting at the<br />
time and he is required to leave the match, he shall retire “not out” and his substitute will be permitted to bat later in the<br />
innings at the fall of a wicket, unless nine wickets have already fallen, in which case he shall be allowed to bat<br />
immediately if available.<br />
2. LAW 2 - SUBSTITUTES AND RUNNERS<br />
2.1 Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply.<br />
A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.<br />
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows:<br />
The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a<br />
nominated player, at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.<br />
2.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field<br />
If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes, the following restrictions shall apply to their future<br />
participation in the match:<br />
2.2.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team has<br />
subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter referred to as<br />
penance time), subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. If any unexpired penance time<br />
remains at the end of an innings, it is carried forward to the next and subsequent innings of the match.<br />
2.2.2 The player shall not be permitted to bat in the match until his team's batting innings has been in progress for the<br />
length of playing time that is equal to the unexpired penance time carried forward from the previous innings,<br />
subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. However, once his side has lost five wickets in its<br />
batting innings, he may bat immediately. If any unexpired penance time remains at the end of that batting innings,<br />
it is carried forward to the next and subsequent innings of the match. For the purposes of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, playing<br />
time shall comprise the time play is in progress excluding lunch and tea intervals, intervals be-tween innings and<br />
official drinks intervals. For clarity, a player's penance time will continue to expire after he is dismissed, for the<br />
remainder of his team's batting innings. However, in the event of a batsman or a fieldsman already being off the<br />
field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other<br />
exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he<br />
personally informs the umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the<br />
commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional<br />
circum-stances, a player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous<br />
absence, he shall automatically be al-lowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided he returns<br />
to the field of play immediately after the interruption. The restriction in clauses 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 above shall not<br />
apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst<br />
participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player<br />
has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness).<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 45
2.2.3 Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. 'Wholly<br />
acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly<br />
referred to as a 'comfort break'.(ex: writing of exams will be considered as wholly acceptable reason and<br />
the player don't have to serve penance time)<br />
Note: Squad members of the fielding or batting team who are not playing in the match and who are not acting as<br />
substitute fielders shall be required to wear a team training bib whilst on the playing area (including the area<br />
between the boundary and the perimeter fencing).<br />
Notes on defining injuries<br />
(Playing Condition 2.2.2 and 2.2.3)<br />
An external blow is defined as when a player is hit by something or hits something. It must be noted that this<br />
definition does not include blisters. Examples of an internal injury are pulled muscles or blisters. The medical<br />
committee has ruled that players with cramp are entitled to a substitute as cramp should be considered an injury<br />
or illness. This is no longer an issue for batsmen as they are no longer allowed runners. In order to speed up<br />
play, fielders are permitted and indeed encouraged to leave the field to either put on or take off protective<br />
equipment such as internal leg guards for spinners just prior to or just after their spells. This should be done just<br />
outside the field of play and under the sight of the umpires. This includes broken equipment.<br />
3. LAW 3 - THE UMPIRES<br />
3.1 Law 3.1 - Appointment and attendance<br />
3.1.1 The NCU'A shall appoint all umpires.<br />
3.1.2 Neither team will have a right of objection to an umpire appointment.<br />
3.2 Law 3.8 - Fitness for play and Law 3.9 - Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable conditions.<br />
3.2.1 The safety of all persons within the ground is of paramount importance. In the event that any threatening<br />
circumstance, whether actual or perceived, comes to the attention of any umpire, then the players and officials<br />
should immediately be asked to leave the field of play: Laws 3.8 & 3.9 shall be replaced by:<br />
3.2.2 The umpires shall be the final judges of the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play.<br />
See clause 3.2.3 below and Law 7.2 (Fitness of the pitch for play).<br />
3.2.3 Suspension of play for adverse conditions of ground, weather or light.<br />
All references to ground include the pitch.<br />
See Law 7.1 (Area of pitch).<br />
a) If at any time the umpires together agree, that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is<br />
obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or<br />
dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or<br />
to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires<br />
alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground<br />
conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or<br />
slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free movement, or the<br />
batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be<br />
regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place. If circumstances are warranted,<br />
the umpires shall stop play and instruct the ground staff to take whatever action they can and use<br />
whatever equipment is necessary to remove as much dew as possible from the outfield when<br />
conditions become unreasonable or dangerous. The umpires may also instruct the ground staff to<br />
take such action during scheduled and unscheduled breaks in play. The umpires shall disregard any<br />
shadow on the pitch from the stadium or from any permanent object on the ground.<br />
b) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They shall<br />
make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions are<br />
suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game.<br />
c) If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the umpires<br />
together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable<br />
Risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place.<br />
4. LAW 4 - THE SCORERS<br />
4.1 Scorers shall be appointed by NCU scorers association to record all runs scored, all wickets taken and, where<br />
appropriate, number of over's bowled.<br />
5. LAW 5 - THE BALL<br />
5.1 Law 5.2 - Approval and control of balls<br />
Law 5.2 shall be replaced by the following: NCU shall provide cricket balls of an approved standard for the competition.<br />
Each Club must provide at least 6 spare used balls for changing during a match, which shall also be of the same brand.<br />
The umpires shall retain possession of the match ball(s) throughout the duration of the match when play is not actually<br />
taking place. During play umpires shall periodically and irregularly inspect the condition of the ball and shall retain<br />
possession of it at the fall of a wicket, a drinks interval, or any other disruption in play.<br />
5.2 Law 5.4 - New ball in a match of more than one day's duration<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 5.4: The prescribed number of over's shall be 60. The umpire shall<br />
inform the other umpire and indicate to the batsmen and the scorers whenever a new ball is taken into play.<br />
5.3 Law 5.5 - Ball lost or becoming unfit for play<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 5.5: However, if the ball needs to be replaced after 110 over's for any of the<br />
reasons above, it shall be replaced by a new ball. If the ball is to be replaced, the umpire shall inform the batsmen and<br />
the fielding captain.<br />
6. LAW 6 - THE BAT<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 6: Striker using back of bat deliberately to hit the ball - It is legal for a striker to use<br />
the back of his bat deliberately to hit the ball when playing a shot.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 46
7. LAW 7 - THE PITCH<br />
7.1 Law 7.3 - Selection and preparation<br />
7.1.1 The umpires shall ensure that, prior to the start of play and during any intervals, only authorized personnel,<br />
players, team coaches shall be allowed access to the pitch area. Such access shall be subject to the following<br />
limitations:<br />
a) Only captains and team coaches may walk on the actual playing surface of the pitch area (outside of the<br />
crease markings).<br />
b) No spiked footwear shall be permitted.<br />
c) No one shall be permitted to bounce a ball on the pitch, strike it with a bat or cause damage to the pitch in<br />
any other way.<br />
d) Access shall not interfere with pitch preparation.<br />
7.2 Law 7.4 - Changing the pitch<br />
Law 7.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
7.2.1 In the event of a pitch being considered too dangerous for play to continue in the estimation of the on-field<br />
umpires, they shall stop play and immediately.<br />
7.2.2 The umpires shall consult with both captains.<br />
7.2.3 If the captains agree to continue, play shall resume.<br />
7.2.4 If the decision is not to resume play, umpires together shall consider whether the existing pitch can be repaired<br />
and the match resumed from the point it was stopped. In considering whether to authorize such repairs, it must<br />
be consider whether this would place either side at an unfair advantage, given the play that had already taken<br />
place on the dangerous pitch.<br />
7.2.5 If the decision is that the existing pitch cannot be repaired then the match is to be abandoned as a draw.<br />
7.2.6 If the decision is to abandon the match, the umpires shall advise the NCU of this decision. Where a match has<br />
been abandoned as a result of dangerous or unfit ground conditions, the umpires jointly, and both captains<br />
shall submit a report to NCU of the reasons for the abandonment of the match.<br />
8. LAW 8 - THE WICKETS<br />
Law 8 shall apply<br />
This additional regulation does not allow the stumps to be any higher or wider than the laws of cricket allow. The only<br />
difference with these wider stumps would be in the gaps. The overall width of the set of wickets must remain at 9 inches.<br />
If play is continuing in strong winds umpires can agree to dispense with bails. The umpires can as an alternative use heavy<br />
bails, if there are available. This decision is for the umpires alone to decide and if bails are to be dispensed with, it should be<br />
at both ends, as stated in the Laws.<br />
9. LAW 9 - THE BOWLING, POPPING AND RETURN CREASES<br />
Law 9 shall apply<br />
The extended popping crease marking is for the benefit of the TV Umpire when called upon to adjudicate on a line decision<br />
with the batsman running wide of the pitch. It is also acceptable practice for the umpire at square leg to stand off the popping<br />
crease line so as to not block the broadcaster's side-on camera for stumping decisions.<br />
10. LAW 10 PREPARATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE PLAYING AREA<br />
10.1 Law 10.1 - Rolling<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 10.1:<br />
10.1.1 Prior to tossing for choice of innings the artificial drying of the pitch and outfield shall be at the discretion of the<br />
ground staff. Thereafter and throughout the match the drying of the outfield may be undertaken at any time by<br />
the ground staff, but the drying of the affected area of the pitch shall be carried out only on the instructions and<br />
under the supervision of the umpires. The umpires shall be empowered to have the pitch dried without<br />
reference to the captains at any time they are of the opinion that it is unfit for play.<br />
10.1.2 The umpires may instruct the ground staff to use any available equipment, including any roller for the purpose<br />
of drying the pitch and making it fit for play.<br />
10.1.3 An absorbent roller may be used to remove water from the covers including the cover on the match pitch.<br />
10.2 Law 10.6 - Maintenance of foot holes<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 10.6:<br />
The umpires shall see that wherever possible and whenever it is considered necessary, action is taken during all<br />
intervals in play to do whatever is practicable to improve the bowler's foot holes. As soon as possible after the<br />
conclusion of each day's play, bowler's foot holes will be repaired.<br />
10.3 Watering the outfield<br />
The watering of the outfield will be permitted during the match subject to the following:<br />
10.3.1 Such watering shall only be possible if the request is approved by the umpires before the match has started.<br />
Once the match has started, any such request will not be considered.<br />
10.3.2 The consent of the captains is not required but the umpires shall advise both captains on what has been agreed.<br />
10.3.3 The watering shall occur as soon as possible after the conclusion of the day's play.<br />
10.3.4 The watering shall only be carried out to the extent that it is necessary to retain the good condition of the outfield.<br />
10.3.5 The square and bowlers' run ups will be adequately covered prior to any watering taking place.<br />

resolved between the umpires and ground staff, but with the umpires retaining ultimate discretion over<br />
whether to approve any watering.<br />
10.4 Protection and preparation of adjacent pitches during matches<br />
The protection (by way of an appropriate cover) and preparation of pitches which are adjacent to the match pitch will<br />
be permitted during the match subject to the following:<br />
10.4.1 Such measures will only be possible if requested by the ground staff and approved by the umpires.<br />
10.4.2 Approval should only be granted where such measures are unavoidable and will not compromise the safety of<br />
the players or their ability to execute their actions with complete freedom.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 47
10.4.3 The preparation work shall be carried out under the supervision of the umpires.<br />
10.4.4 Any necessary watering shall be carried out only to the extent necessary for such preparations and shall not<br />
be permitted in circumstances which may in any way affect the match pitch.<br />
10.4.5 The consent of the captains is not required but the umpires shall advise both captains on what has been agreed.<br />
11. LAW 11 - COVERING THE PITCH<br />

The pitch shall be entirely protected against rain up to the commencement of play.<br />
11.2 Law 11.2 - During the match<br />
Law 11.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The pitch shall be entirely protected against rain up to the commencement of play and for the duration of the period of<br />
ST<br />
the match. It shall be wholly covered at the termination of each 1 day's play or providing the weather is fine, within a<br />
period of two hours thereafter. Note: the covers must totally protect the pitch and also the pitch surroundings, a<br />
minimum 5 meters either side of the pitch and any worn or soft areas in the outfield.<br />
11.3 Law 11.4 - Removal of covers<br />
Law 11.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
All covers (including “hessian” or “scrim” covers used to protect the pitch against the sun) shall be removed not later<br />
than 2 1/2 hours before the scheduled start of play provided it is not raining at the time, but the pitch will be covered<br />
again if rain falls prior to the commencement of play.<br />
12. LAW 12 - INNINGS<br />
12.1 Law 12.1 - Number of innings<br />
Law 12 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
12.1.1 Law 12.1 (a) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
A match shall be two innings per side subject to the provisions of Law 13.1.<br />
12.1.2 Law 12.1 (b) and 12.3 (e) shall not apply. Matches shall be of Two (2) days scheduled duration.<br />
12.1.3 If play starts when less than 10 hours playing time remains, a one innings match will be played.<br />
st<br />
th<br />
12.1.4 1 batting innings of each team: Forced declaration at the end of the 80 over.<br />
12.2 Law 12.4 - The toss<br />
Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the field of play and in the presence of the Umpires, who shall<br />
supervise the toss. The toss shall take place not earlier than 30 minutes, nor later than 15 minutes before the<br />
scheduled or any rescheduled time for the match to start. Note, however, the provisions of Law 1.3 (Captain).<br />
Note: Law 12.5 requiring the captain of the side winning the toss to notify the opposing captain as soon as the toss is<br />
completed of his decision to bat or to field shall apply.<br />
13. LAW 13 - THE FOLLOW-ON<br />
13.1 Lead on first innings<br />
In a two innings match of 2 days, the side which bats first and leads by at least 100 runs shall have the option of<br />
requiring the other side to follow their innings.<br />
13.2 Law 13.3 - First day's play lost<br />
If the provisions of clause 16.1.3 (b) are applied, the additional time is regarded as part of that day's play, i.e. it is the<br />
number of days remaining, and not the total number of hours available. Even though the Playing Conditions allow for<br />
additional time to be made up on the current day and subsequent days this clause reinforces the application of Law<br />
13. The application of the follow on target is based on days remaining in the match (if at least the entire first day's play<br />
is lost) and not based on total time or hours left in the match.<br />
14. LAW 14 - DECLARATION AND FORFEITURE<br />
Law 14 shall apply<br />
15. LAW 15 INTERVALS<br />
15.1 Law 15.3 - Duration of intervals<br />
15.1.1 Lunch Interval: The interval shall be of 30 minutes duration.<br />
15.1.2 Tea Interval: The interval shall be of 15 minutes duration.<br />
15.1.3 Drinks Intervals: One per session of 2 hours or more of 4 min duration.<br />
15.2 Law 15.8 - Tea interval - 9 wickets down. Law 15.8 shall apply.<br />
In addition, the provisions of Law 15.8 as applicable to the tea interval shall also apply to the lunch interval.<br />
NOTE: This is a significant change from the Laws lunch can be delayed by up to a maximum of 30 minutes if<br />
9 wickets are down at the time for lunch.<br />
15.3 Law 15.9 - Intervals for Drinks<br />
The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may<br />
permit extra intervals for drinks. An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of<br />
a wicket, on the field, provided that no playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the field without the<br />
permission of the umpires. Any player taking drinks onto the field shall be dressed in proper cricket attire. (subject to<br />
the wearing of bibs refer to the note in clause 2.2.3). Umpires are also to be mindful of extra drinks being taken out to<br />
the batsmen in the middle. In order to reduce the amount of delays and stoppages, there should be no drinks of glove<br />
changes permitted by the umpires within 10 minutes of a scheduled drinks interval. Drinks Break - Last Hour -<br />
according to the playing conditions, the last hour starts when the minimum over's have been bowled or time reached<br />
(whichever happens last). Therefore, if the fielding team bowls more than the minimum over's leading up to 5pm<br />
(example of starting time for the last hour), you must keep playing until 5pm (finish over in progress) and take the<br />
drinks break at the end of the over in progress at 5pm and start the last hour after the completion of the drinks break.<br />
Then bowl a minimum of 16 over's from that point with the last hour starting at 5.07pm for example.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 48
16. LAW 16 - START OF PLAY; CESSATION OF PLAY<br />
Law 16 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
16.1 Start and Cessation Times:<br />
Each day shall be scheduled for 7½ hours play as listed below:<br />
First Session: 09h45 to 12h15<br />
Second Session: 12h45 to 15h15<br />
Third Session: 15h30 to 18h00<br />
16.1.1 Minimum Over's in the Day<br />
Subject to clause 16.1.2 below:<br />
(a) On day other than the last day, play shall continue until the completion of a minimum target of 120 over's<br />
(or a minimum of 16 over's per hour) or the completion of the scheduled or rescheduled cessation time,<br />
whichever is the later but provided that play shall not continue for more than 30 minutes beyond the<br />
scheduled or rescheduled close of play time (permitted overtime). For the sake of clarity, if any of the<br />
minimum target number of over's have not been bowled at the completion of the permitted overtime, play<br />
shall cease upon completion of the over in progress. The over's not bowled shall not be made up on the<br />
second day.<br />
(b) On the last day, a minimum of 104 over's (or a minimum of 16 over's per hour) shall be bowled during the<br />
playing time other than the last hour of the match where clause 16.1.6 below shall apply. If any of the<br />
minimum of 104 over's or as recalculated, have not been bowled when one hour of the scheduled playing<br />
time remains, the last hour of the match for the purposes of clause 16.1.6 shall be the hour immediately<br />
following the completion of these over's<br />
16.1.2 Reduction in minimum over's<br />
Except in the last hour of the match, for which clause 16.1.6 makes provision, if play is suspended due to<br />
adverse weather or light or any other reason (other than normal intervals) for more than 30 minutes, the<br />
minimum number of over's shall be reduced by 1 over for each full 3.75 minutes of the aggregate playing time<br />
lost. For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate times as depicted above shall be inclusive of any time that may<br />
have been brought forward from previous day due to playing time lost on such previous day under clause 16.1.3<br />
(b) below.<br />
16.1.3 Making Up Lost Time<br />
(a) On The Day<br />
Subject to weather and light, except in the last hour of the match, in the event of play being suspended for<br />
any reason other than normal intervals, the playing time on that day shall be extended by the amount of<br />
time lost up to a maximum of 30 minutes. For the avoidance of doubt, the maximum of 30 minutes shall be<br />
inclusive of any time that may have been added to the scheduled playing time due to playing time having<br />
been lost on previous day under clause 16.1.3 (b) below.<br />
(b) On Subsequent Day<br />
If any time is lost and cannot be made up under clause 16.1.3 (a) above, additional time of up to a<br />
maximum of 30 minutes per day shall be added to the scheduled playing hours for the next day, and<br />
subsequent day(s) as required (to make up as much lost time as possible). Where appropriate this<br />
additional time shall be added prior to the scheduled start of the first session. In circumstances where it is<br />
not possible to add this additional time prior to the scheduled start of the first session, the additional time<br />
may be added to the second and/or the third sessions (see also 16.1.4). When such additional time is<br />
added, the minimum over's for that day shall be increased by one over for each 3.75 minutes of additional<br />
time or part thereof.<br />
(c) On the Last Day only<br />
Clause 16.1.3 (a) applies. However, for the purposes of this clause, the definition of playing time shall be<br />
the time up to the most recently scheduled time for the start of the last hour. Should an interruption in play<br />
commence prior to the most recently scheduled time for the last hour and continue past this time:<br />
(i) Only the playing time lost prior to this last hour start time will be made up (subject to the maximum<br />
times described in (a) above) with the start time for the last hour being rescheduled accordingly.<br />
(ii) The period of time between the scheduled last hour start time at the start of the interruption and the<br />
time of the resumption of play will not be made up. The minimum number of over's to be bowled prior<br />
to the last hour at the start of the interruption will therefore be reduced by one for each full 3.75<br />
minutes of aggregate time lost<br />
(As described in clause 16.1.2)<br />
(iii) the start time for the last hour will thus be the later of the rescheduled time as defined at the end of (i)<br />
above and the time at which the minimum over's prior to the last hour have been completed or<br />
reduced to zero by application of the formula in (ii) above.<br />
(iv) No time is made up in respect of any interruptions that commence after the start of the last hour.<br />
16.1.4 Change of Intervals<br />
(a) If play has been suspended for any reason other than normal intervals for 30 minutes or more prior to the<br />
commencement of the scheduled or rescheduled tea interval on that day, the tea interval shall be delayed<br />
for ½ hour.<br />
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the timings of intervals can be altered under Law 15.5<br />
at any time on any day if playing time has been lost irrespective of whether the time has been lost on that<br />
day or previous day.<br />
16.1.5 Change of Innings<br />
Where there is a change of innings during a day's play (except where the change of innings occurs at lunch or<br />
tea or when play is suspended for any reason) 2 over's will be deducted from the minimum number of over's<br />
to be bowled. The over in progress at the end of an inn Should an interruption in play commence prior to the<br />
most recently scheduled time for the last hour and continue past this time is regarded as a completed over for<br />
the purposes of determining the minimum number of remaining over's to be bowled in the day.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 49
16.1.6 Last Hour<br />
Law 11.6, 11.7 and 11.8 will apply except that a minimum of 16 over's shall be bowled in the last hour and all<br />
calculations with regard to suspensions of play or the start of a new innings shall be based on 1 over for each<br />
full 3.75 minutes<br />
(refer clause 16.1.9 below).<br />
16.1.7 Notwithstanding any other provision, there shall be no further play on any day, other than the last day, if a<br />
wicket falls or a batsman retires or if the players have occasion to leave the field during the last minimum over<br />
within 2 minutes of the scheduled cessation time or thereafter. This shall also apply to the additional time<br />
permitted in order to complete the minimum over requirement for the day. If an other is interrupted in these<br />
circumstances stumps shall be drawn for the day and the over shall be completed on the resumption of play.<br />
16.1.8 An over completed on resumption of a new day's play shall be disregarded in calculating minimum over's for<br />
that day.<br />
16.1.9 Stumps Drawn<br />
16.1.9.1 Except on the final day:<br />
(a) In the event of play being suspended for any reason at or after the most recently scheduled<br />
or rescheduled cessation time, stumps shall be drawn upon play being suspended.<br />
(b) In the event of the players already being off the field for a suspension of play at the most<br />
recently rescheduled cessation time, then stumps will be drawn at that time.<br />
16.1.9.2 On the final day:<br />
If both captains and coaches agree that there is no prospect of either side achieving a victory, they<br />
may approach the match officials and request that the match be finished at:<br />
(a) During the interval prior to the commencement of the last session; or<br />
(b) The time for the commencement for the last session; or<br />
(c) At any time after the commencement of the last session.<br />
16.1.10 The scoreboard shall show:<br />
(a) the total number of overs bowled with the ball currently in use: and;<br />
(b) the minimum number of overs remaining to be bowled in a day.<br />
16.1.11 Penalties shall apply for slow over rates<br />
(refer Clause 16.3 Minimum over rates).<br />
16.2 Extra Time<br />
The umpires may decide to play 30 minutes (a minimum of eight over's) extra time at the scheduled lunch or tea<br />
interval of any day if requested by either captain if, in the umpires opinion, it would bring about a definite result in that<br />
session. If the umpires do not believe a result can be achieved no extra time shall be allowed. If it is decided to play<br />
such extra time, the whole period shall be played out even though the possibility of finishing the match may have<br />
disappeared before the full period has expired. Only the actual amount of playing time up to the maximum 30 minutes<br />
extra time by which play is extended on any day shall be deducted from the total number of hours of play remaining,<br />
and the following session of play shall be reduced by the amount of time by which play was previously extended under<br />
this clause. For the avoidance of doubt this clause shall not apply when Law 10.8, as amended by Clause 10.2, is<br />
applied, ie. the total extra time remains at 30 minutes.<br />
16.3 Minimum over rates:<br />
16.3.1 The minimum over rate to be achieved by the fielding team shall be 16 over's per hour.<br />
16.3.2 In calculating the actual over rate for the match, allowances will be given as follows:<br />
(a) The time lost as a result of treatment given to a player by an authorized medical personnel on the field of<br />
play;<br />
(b) The time lost as a result of a player being required to leave the field as a result of a serious injury;<br />
(c) The time lost as a result of time wasting by the batting side; and<br />
(d) The time lost due to all other circumstances that are beyond the control of the fielding side.<br />
(e) 2 minutes per wicket taken, provided that such wicket results in the subsequent batsmen immediately<br />
commencing his innings. For the avoidance of any doubt, no time allowance will be given for the final<br />
wicket of an innings or where a wicket falls immediately prior to any interval;<br />
(f) 4 minutes per drinks break taken (one per session).<br />
In the event of any time allowances being granted to the fielding team under 16.3.2 (d) above (time wasting<br />
by batting team), then such time shall be deducted from the allowances granted to such batting team in the<br />
determination of its over rate. If a side is bowled out in 3 ½ hours or less (taking into account all of the time<br />
allowances set out above) in any particular innings, no account will be taken of the actual over rate in that<br />
innings when calculating the actual over rate at the end of the match.<br />
16.3.3 The over rate will be calculated at the end of the match by the umpires and scores. If the over rate is<br />
calculated as being under the minimum over rate of 16 over's to the hour, the following shall apply:<br />
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable the umpires shall inform the team captain of the relevant fielding<br />
team and that he will be reported at the NCU.<br />
(b) If the umpires, is of the opinion that the minimum over rate was not achieved by the fielding team by<br />
reason of events beyond its control, including (but not limited to) time wasting by the batting team, the<br />
Umpires shall be entitled to amend the over rate calculation as they deems appropriate.<br />
(c) In the event of the umpires being of the opinion that the conduct of the batting team has prevented the<br />
fielding team from bowling the minimum over rate, the umpires is entitled to report the batting team, at<br />
the NCU.<br />
16.3.4 Sanction<br />
For the purpose of calculating the over rate for the match, in the event of the batting team being bowled out in<br />
3 hours and 30 minutes or less in any particular innings, no account shall be taken of the over rate in that<br />
innings (the length of the innings is calculated as being actual playing time less any allowances granted<br />
under Clause 16.3.2). In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that required,<br />
the NCU shall impose the following sanctions:<br />
(a) For each over short of the minimum over's required one point forfeiture.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 50
(b) If the over rate is more than 5 over's short of the minimum overs required, the captain will in addition to the<br />
sanctions imposed in Clause 16.3.4 (a) above, be charged under the Rules and Code of Conduct of NCU Level 2,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
17. LAW 17 - PRACTICE ON THE FIELD<br />
17.1 Law 17.1 - Practice on the pitch or the rest of the square<br />
Law 17.1 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
a) The use of the square for practice on any day of any match will be restricted to any netted practice area or<br />
bowling strips specifically prepared on the edge of the square for that purpose.<br />
b) Bowling practice on the bowling strips referred to in (a) above shall also be permitted during the interval (and<br />
change of innings if not the interval) unless the umpires consider that, in the prevailing conditions of ground and<br />
weather, it will be detrimental to the surface of the square. It has been customary for the bowling strips and<br />
outfield to be used by bowlers and fieldsman (no batting practice on the strips past toss time) to keep warming<br />
up until just before 5mins before the start of play.<br />
17.2 Law 17.3 - Practice on the outfield between the call of play and the call of time<br />
Law 17.3 shall apply save that Law 17.3 (c) shall be replaced with the following:<br />
c) There shall be no bowling or batting practice on the outfield. Bowling a ball, using a short run up to a player in the<br />
outfield is not to be regarded as bowling practice but shall be subject to the law.<br />
18. LAW 18 - SCORING RUNS<br />
Law 18 shall apply.<br />
19. LAW 19 - BOUNDARIES<br />
19.1 Law 19.3 - Scoring a boundary<br />
The following shall be added to Law 19.3: If an unauthorized person enters the playing arena and handles the ball,<br />
the umpire at the bowler's end shall be the sole judge of whether the boundary allowance should be scored or the ball<br />
be treated as still in play or called dead ball if a batsman is liable to be out as a result of the unauthorized person<br />
handling the ball.<br />

Law 21.2 shall apply subject to the provisions of Clause 2.5<br />
21.2 Law 21.3 Umpire awarding a match<br />
Law 21.3 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
a) A match shall be lost by a side which either<br />
i) concedes defeat or<br />
ii) in the opinion of the umpires refuses to play and the umpires shall award the match to the other side.<br />
b) If an umpire considers that an action by any player or players might constitute a refusal by either side to play<br />
then the umpires shall inform the NCU of this fact. The umpires shall together ascertain the cause of the action.<br />
If the umpires, after due consultation , decides that this action does constitute a refusal to play by one side, he<br />
shall so inform the captain of that side. If the captain persists in the action the umpires shall award the match in<br />
accordance with (a)(ii) above.<br />
c) If action as in (b) above takes place after play has started and does not constitute a refusal to play:<br />
i) playing time lost shall be counted from the start of the action until play recommences, subject to Law 15.5<br />
(Changing agreed times for intervals).<br />
ii) the time for close of play on that day shall be extended by this length of time, subject to Law (Suspension of<br />
play in dangerous and unreasonable conditions)<br />
iii) if applicable, no over's shall be deducted during the last hour of the match solely on account of this time.<br />
*N/B In addition to the consequences of any refusal to play prescribed under this clause, any such refusal,<br />
whether temporary or final, may result in disciplinary action being taken against the captain and team<br />
responsible under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />

possible and a final decision made by the umpires at close of play.<br />
22. LAW 22 - THE OVER<br />
Law 22.5 - Umpire miscounting<br />
Whenever possible the umpires shall liaise with the scorers if the over has been miscounted.<br />
23. LAW 23 - DEAD BALL<br />
Law 23.4 Umpire calling and signaling 'Dead Ball'<br />
Towel falling from the bowler's trouser during run up / delivery stride -<br />
Umpires to have a proactive discussion with the bowler and warn them that if the batsman complains after the towel has<br />
fallen, the ball may be called dead and any dismissal not allowed.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 51
24. LAW 24 - NO BALL<br />
24.1 Law 24.1 - Mode of delivery<br />
Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no ball,<br />
and the ball is to be re-bowled over arm<br />
24.2 Fair Delivery - the feet<br />
Law 24.5 shall apply, subject to the final paragraph being replaced by the following:<br />
If the bowler's end umpire is satisfied that any of these three conditions have not been met, he shall call and signal No ball<br />
24.2.1 Playing Condition (P/C) 24.2 The ICC Playing Conditions relating to “Fair Delivery the feet” is different to the<br />
MCC Law. The Playing Condition says “If the bowler's end umpire is satisfied that any of these conditions<br />
have not been met, he shall call and signal No ball.” This means that if the bowler's end umpire cannot be<br />
satisfied that the placement of feet has breached the Law, then the umpire gives the benefit of doubt to<br />
the bowler. There must be clear and conclusive evidence that…<br />
a) No part of the front foot is grounded or raised behind the popping crease on landing (first contact), or<br />
b) The back foot did not land within and not touching the return crease, or<br />
c) The front foot did not land with some part on the same side as the imaginary line joining the two middle<br />
stumps . … in order to rule and signal a No ball.<br />
24.2.2 Foot Fault No Ball (Definition of “Landing”)<br />
a) Front foot first contact for grounding only for any part of the foot and not applicable for to any raised part<br />
of foot. For a fast bowler this is generally the moment when the heel touches the ground.<br />
b) Back foot MCC interpretation. First poin t of contact is the point where the foot touches the ground first.<br />
Delivery is fair even if part of foot is in the air and subsequently touches or slides across return crease.<br />
25. LAW 25 - WIDE BALL<br />
25.1 Law 25.1 - Judging a Wide<br />
Law 25 shall apply with the following addition to Law 25.1 (Judging a wide):<br />
25.1.1 For bowlers attempting to utilize the rough outside a batsman's leg stump, not necessarily as a negative<br />
tactic, the strict limited over wide interpretation shall be applied. For bowlers attempting to use the rough<br />
outside the batsman's leg stump (not necessarily as a negative tactic)… the umpire will be alerted by the field<br />
setting in the first instance, he shall have a proactive word with the bowler (before he bowls his first ball) and<br />
call wide down the leg side if applicable (limited over's wide application / interpretation) straight away.<br />
25.1.2 For bowlers whom umpires consider to be bowling down the leg side as a negative tactic, the strict limited<br />
over wide interpretation shall be applied<br />
25.1.3 The purpose of the second part of this clause is to discourage and penalize negative bowling.<br />
Law 25 still applies as written, however this playing condition clause should be applied when a bowler<br />
repeatedly bowls down the leg side or repeatedly lands the ball into the rough outside the leg stump.<br />
Note: Criteria to be considered:<br />
a) The nature and state of the game.<br />
b) Positioning of the fielders and thus the intention of the bowler.<br />
c) The pace of the ball.<br />
d) Repetition<br />
i) It is recommended that before taking action under this playing condition that the bowler should be<br />
informed by the umpire at the bowler's end that if he were to persist in bowling that line then a wide<br />
ball would be called. This does not mean that they have to be consecutive deliveries however.<br />
ii) The above criteria shall be used to help the umpire at the bowler's end trying to read the intent of the<br />
bowler. The same criteria should be applied to the spin bowler who might be using the rough outside<br />
the striker's leg stump as a negative tactic. The Umpire does not have to be convinced such bowling<br />
is being used as a negative tactic the Umpire should speak with the bowler and the fielding Captain if<br />
he is considering invoking this clause as a form of proactive umpiring. The key for consideration here<br />
is repetition which can be a sequence of deliveries in an over (3 balls in an over for example) or<br />
deliveries in a sequence of over's (the last delivery of the over, 3 over's in a row). There would also be<br />
other clues in the way that the captain and bowler have set the field. An attacking field with the bowler<br />
bowling a leg stump line is not necessarily negative bowling. Should this occur and the warning by the<br />
Umpire be ignored, then the strictness and consistency of wide ball calling as per the limited over<br />
regulation should be adopted.<br />
iii) Since the alteration of the laws in 2000, care needs to be taken to apply a consistent and strict<br />
interpretation of this Law for balls passing down the offside of the striker. The striker has to be able to<br />
play a 'normal cricket stroke' at the ball; otherwise it shall be called a wide ball. This places the<br />
emphasis on the actions and reach of the striker rather than using the return crease markings as the<br />
guide. A good description of a 'normal cricket stroke' is contained in the MCC Open Learning Manual<br />
which states: By a 'normal cricket stroke', it does not mean a recognized cricket stroke such<br />
as an off drive, hook or a sweep. Even less does it mean that the striker has to be able to hit the<br />
ball in such a way that he could score runs off it. It means that he must be able to reach it with<br />
arms naturally flexed, not at full stretch, and well within the blade of the bat, not just with the<br />
toe of the bat. Further, the path of the ball must enable him to play it without looking as though<br />
he is wielding a tennis racquet rather than a cricket bat.<br />

36. LAW 36 - LEG BEFORE WICKET<br />
Law 36 shall apply.<br />
37. LAW 37 - OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD<br />
Law 37 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, if an umpire feels that a batsman, in running between the wickets, has<br />
significantly changed his direction without probable cause and thereby obstructed a fielder's attempt to effect a run out, the<br />
batsman should,on appeal, be given out, obstructing the field. It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have occurred<br />
or not. Note: Law 37 This playing condition confirms that on appeal from the fielding team, if the umpire feels that a batsman,<br />
whilst running between the wickets, has significantly changed his direction without probable cause thereby obstructing a<br />
fielder's attempt to run him out, the batsman should be given out obstructing the field. In applying this playing condition,<br />
umpires should note that:<br />
a) It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have been affected or not.<br />
b) In the absence of any other “probable cause” for the change in running direction, the umpires are entitled to assume<br />
that such significant change in direction is indicative of the intent to obstruct the field.<br />
c) The umpire shall be entitled to consult in determining whether the batsman has changed his direction of running or<br />
not. As part of such consultation, the umpires should not only consider whether there was a change in running direction<br />
but also whether there are any other factors which may indicate a “probable cause” for such change in direction other<br />
than the intent to obstruct the field e.g. avoiding the bowler. Following such consultation, umpires shall make and give<br />
the final decision.<br />
d) NB: The playing condition enhances Law 37 and does not replace it. The circumstances described in the playing<br />
condition (i.e. a batsman significantly changing his direction of running without probable cause) are only one<br />
example of an action which will qualify as willfully obstructing the field. Accordingly, it is still possible for a batsman to<br />
be given out obstructing the field in circumstances where he has not significantly changed his direction of running<br />
provided that the umpire feels that by some other actions it is clear that the batsman had intended to obstruct the field.<br />
This will depend on the circumstances of each case. Some examples which may indicate such intent are the batsman<br />
watching the fielder throw the ball or watching the ball rather than watching where he had to make his ground or<br />
sticking his bat in the way of the throw etc. If the change of direction involves the batsman crossing the pitch, Law 42.14<br />
shall also apply.<br />
38. LAW 38 - RUN OUT<br />
Law 38.1<br />
In the case where appeals are made for run out after a collision between a fielder and a batsmen it is protocol that the<br />
umpires clarifies the appeal with the fielding captain before making a decision<br />
39. LAW 39 - STUMPED<br />
Law 39 shall apply.<br />
40. LAW 40 - THE WICKET-KEEPER<br />
40.1 Law 40.3 Position of Wicket Keeper and keeping gloves<br />
If a wicket keeper walks back to the 30 yard circle or stands in a position where it is felt he is not acting as the wicket<br />
keeper, then the umpires will step in and move him to a normal wicket keeper position (possible dead ball call if that was<br />
during the delivery). The keeper does not have to wear keeping glove(s), but if they are not worn, they must be put in the<br />
back of their trouser or on the ground where a helmet would be normally kept. Should the ball hit the glove(s) not worn,<br />
then a dead ball and 5 penalty runs will be awarded. (Note, ball does not count as one in the over under illegal fielding).<br />
a) One glove, no gloves and/or no pads is acceptable, but the keeper needs to be mindful of where he places the<br />
glove/s or pads.<br />
b) When the keeper discards his apparel he needs to be mindful of time wasting. During an over the keeper cannot<br />
run on and off retrieving or giving his gloves/pads to his support team. This should be done at the end of the over.<br />
c) He must place the gloves within a helmet if there is one or send it off once so as not to waste time.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 53
d) If the ball hits the glove, it will be called dead ball, as it is illegal fielding and will cost the team a 5 run penalty, and<br />
the ball will not be counted in the over.<br />
40.2 Movement by wicket-keeper<br />
Note: The ICC has adopted the new MCC Law Clause and it is consistent with that that applies for a normal fielder.<br />
The keeper is permitted to move in response to a shot that that the striker is about to play before the ball actually<br />
reaches the striker. After the ball comes into play and before it reaches the striker, it is unfair if the wicket-keeper<br />
significantly alters his position in relation to the striker's wicket, except for the following:<br />
a) Movement of a few paces forward for a slower delivery, unless in so doing it brings him within reach of the wicket.<br />
b) Lateral movement in response to the direction in which the ball has been delivered.<br />
c) Movement in response to the stroke that the striker is playing or that his actions suggest he intends to play.<br />
However, the provisions of Law 40.3 (Position of wicketkeeper) shall apply. In the event of unfair movement by the<br />
wicket-keeper, either umpire shall call and signal Dead ball.<br />
MCC Guidance notes on the change …<br />
The existing Law was designed to prevent the wicket-keeper stealthily moving up to the stumps from a standing<br />
back position, after the ball comes into play and before the ball reaches the striker, in order to effect a 'surprise’<br />
stumping; there was a concession of a few paces in adjusting to a slower delivery. The aim of the redraft is to<br />
continue the thrust of the existing Law, but also to tackle three additional situations:<br />
a) It was felt unfair for a wicket-keeper who was standing back within say 5 yards of the stumps, who in moving<br />
forwards for a slower delivery, came within reach of the stumps to effect a 'surprise' stumping with the ball in his<br />
gloves. Hence the redrafted Law does not allow the wicket-keeper to move forward for a slower delivery if by<br />
doing so it brings him within reach of the stumps.<br />
b) It was felt unfair for a wicket-keeper who initially takes his position on the off side to be able to move to the on side<br />
before the ball is delivered to effect a 'surprise' stumping (having agreed with the bowler to bowl a ball outside leg<br />
stump). It was felt that this tactic falls into the same category as significant fielder movement and deceives the striker.<br />
c) Hence the wicket-keeper should be allowed to move laterally in response to the direction of the ball once it has<br />
been delivered, but not before. The exception to this being clause<br />
d) A wicket-keeper may start by standing on the leg-side, if he so wishes, but may not then move towards the off side<br />
until the ball has been released.<br />
e) It was felt that the wicket-keeper should have the same concessions concerning movement before the ball<br />
reaches the striker as a fielder, provided that he does not contravene Law 40.3 (Position of wicket-keeper), which<br />
restricts him to remaining wholly behind the wicket whilst the ball is in play until the ball misses the stumps, unless<br />
it has hit the striker's bat or person, or the striker attempts a run. As in the existing Law, either umpire will call and<br />
signal Dead ball immediately if the wicket-keeper transgresses this Law, since the 'illegal' movement is likely to<br />
occur before the bowler has released the ball. He will call No ball as soon as applicable after the delivery of the ball<br />
if the wicket-keeper transgresses Law 40.3.<br />
41. LAW 41 - THE FIELDER<br />
41.1 Law 41.1 - Protective equipment<br />
In addition to Law 41.1:<br />
Note: The exchanging of protective equipment between members of the fielding side on the field shall be permitted<br />
provided that the umpires do not consider that it constitutes a waste of playing time. This clause is not targeted<br />
towards fielders calling for helmets and other protective equipment from the boundary / dressing room.<br />
This clause deals with the wicket keeper and other on field fieldsman changing (those around the bat) position and<br />
corresponding protective equipment and wasting time. Should a wicket keeper need to be substituted then the<br />
protective equipment should be exchanged as quickly as possible. The main occurrence where this clause may need<br />
to be considered is where close in fielders swap or move positions and do so likewise with “internal” shin guards,<br />
boxes and helmets.<br />
The Umpires are to be proactive in this area and 4 such exchanging of equipment to take place between overs or at<br />
drinks breaks. In order to speed up play, fielders are expected to leave the field to either put on or take off protective<br />
equipment such as internal leg guards for spinners just prior to or just after their spells.<br />
This should be done just outside the field of play and under the sight of the umpires. This includes broken equipment.<br />
41.2 Fielding the ball<br />
Law 41.2<br />
Mock fielding is feigning possession and/or disposal of the ball with the intent to deceive the batsmen.<br />
In most cases, this deception is intended to prevent an additional run being taken. The practice has been discussed by<br />
both the ICC Technical Committee and the MCC's Laws sub-committee. Both came to the conclusion that such<br />
practice was undesirable. This directive shall apply to circumstances where, in the opinion of the umpires, in the act of<br />
fielding the ball, the fielder has feigned possession and/or disposal of the ball with the clear intent to deceive the<br />
batsmen ('mock fielding'). It is irrelevant whether the act of deception actually succeeded in deceiving the batsmen or<br />
not. The umpires only need to determine that the act was intended to deceive rather than a fielding error or intended as<br />
a spur of the moment humorous act. On the first occurrence of any incident of 'mock fielding' in an innings, the umpires<br />
shall warn the fielder (and his captain) that such action is considered unfair and that any repeat of such action by any<br />
fielder in that innings will result in the strict application of Law 42.2 with the fielder responsible being reported under<br />
the Code of Conduct. If, as a result of the “mock throw”, a run out looks like a possibility (irrespective of whether it is a<br />
first or repeat occurrence) or in the case of a repeat of such action in the same innings, the umpire shall immediately<br />
apply Law 42.2 and shall: Intervene and call dead ball. The call and signal of dead ball shall be delayed for as long as<br />
possible to see which team will benefit from the outcome.<br />
For example, if the mock fielding does not prevent the batsman taking the additional run and it is clear that they will<br />
make good their ground without risk of being run out, the call of Dead ball should be delayed until after they have<br />
completed the runs. It would be wrong to deprive them of runs due to an unfair act of the fielding side.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 54
41.2 Fielding the ball<br />
If, however, a run out looks a possibility, then Dead ball should be called before any such run out attempt is made.<br />
Once the ball is dead, the umpire should tell the captain of the fielding side of the reason for the call, explaining that it<br />
was an unfair act. If the action is a repeat in that innings, in addition to the action taken as set out above, a charge under<br />
the Code of Conduct should be laid against the fielder responsible. For the sake of clarity, should "dead ball" be called<br />
and signaled, the delivery is NOT to be re-bowled as it is not part of the Law 42.2 process.<br />
41.3 Law 41.7 Movement by fielders other than the wicket-keeper<br />
Any movement by any fielder, excluding the wicket-keeper, after the ball comes into play and before the ball reaches<br />
the striker, is unfair except for the following:<br />
a) Minor adjustments to stance or position in relation to the striker's wicket.<br />
b) Movement by any fielder, other than a close fielder, towards the striker or the striker's wicket that does not<br />
significantly alter the position of the fielder.<br />
c) Movement by any fielder in response to the stroke that the striker is playing or that his actions suggest he intends<br />
to play. Notwithstanding (iii) above, in all circumstances Law 41.5 (Limitation of on side fielders) shall apply.<br />
In the event of such unfair movement, either umpire shall call and signal Dead ball. Note: also the provisions of<br />
Law 42.4 (Deliberate attempt to distract striker). See also Law 40.4 (Movement by wicket-keeper).<br />
MCC Guidance notes on the change…<br />
The purpose of the existing Law was to prevent a fielder significantly altering his position as the ball comes into<br />
play, until the ball reaches the striker (e.g. running back from square leg to deep square leg as the bowler runs in);<br />
this being seen as deception and/or distraction of the striker. Close fielders were only allowed minor adjustments<br />
to stance or position, whereas outfielders were permitted to 'walk in' normally towards the striker or the striker's<br />
wicket; anything other than slight movement off line or away from the striker was disallowed. The intention of the<br />
redrafted Law is to retain all of the thrust of the existing Law, but to allow a fielder to move significantly, before the<br />
ball has reached the striker, if it is in response to the stroke the striker is playing or that his actions suggest he is<br />
intending to play. It is felt that such movement is 'intelligent fielding' in response to a stroke, and should therefore<br />
be allowed Fielders (e.g. cover or short-leg) have altered their position in response to strokes being played as long<br />
as cricket has been played, so to an extent, the Law change is acknowledging existing practice. However,<br />
'deceptive movement' which is intended to distract or deceive the striker should not be allowed mid-on running<br />
back towards long-on as the bowler is running in, for example. It is also felt that the principle that the striker should<br />
be protected from significant movement by a fielder is correct, up to the moment that he moves in preparation for<br />
his stroke; thereafter the fielders should be allowed to move in reaction to how the striker is shaping to play.<br />
In particular, if the striker sets up a position for a 'switch-hit' or 'reverse sweep' before the bowler has released the<br />
ball, then the fielding side may move in response. However, it was felt that the above principle should not override<br />
the restriction of no more than two fielders, other than the wicket-keeper, behind the popping crease on the on side<br />
at the instant of delivery (Law 41.5), since otherwise the fielding side might try to move fielders into close-catching<br />
positions for bouncers, potentially leading to them being bowled more frequently. After the ball has been released,<br />
however, a fielder may move to this position if it is in reaction to the batsman's intended shot. As in the existing<br />
Law, either umpire will call and signal Dead ball immediately he detects 'illegal' movement, since it will most<br />
frequently occur before the bowler has released the ball.<br />

Law 42.3 (d) and (e) shall be replaced with the following:<br />
If the umpires together agree that the deterioration of the ball is greater than is inconsistent with the use it has received,<br />
they shall consider that there has been a contravention of this Law. They shall then decide together whether they can<br />
identify the player(s) responsible for such conduct.<br />
42.3.1 If it is possible to do identify the player(s) responsible:<br />
a) Change the ball forthwith. The batsman at the wicket shall choose the replacement ball from a selection<br />
of six other balls of various degrees of usage (including a new ball) and of the same brand as the ball in<br />
use prior to the contravention.<br />
Additionally the bowler's end umpire shall:<br />
a) Award 5 penalty runs to the batting side.<br />
b) Inform the captain of the fielding side of the reason for the action taken.<br />
c) Inform the captain of the batting side as soon as practicable of what has occurred.<br />
d) Together with the other umpire report the incident to NCU<br />
If it is not possible to do identify the player(s) responsible:<br />
a) Change the ball forthwith. The umpires shall choose the replacement ball for one of similar wear and of<br />
the same brand as the ball in use prior to the contravention.<br />
b) The bowler's end umpire shall issue the captain with a first and final warning, and<br />
c) Advise him that should there be any further incident by that team during the remainder of the match,<br />
steps 42.1.1 a to d) above will be adopted, with the captain deemed under e) to be the player responsible<br />
should the umpires be unable to identify other player(s) responsible.<br />
Note: The following actions will not be permitted: The deliberate throwing of the ball into the ground on<br />
the square or immediate surrounding area when the ball is not in play. Returning the ball on the bounce<br />
from the outfield will be allowed. Once the ball is dead, bouncing the ball back through the field to the<br />
bowler with the motive of scuffing the ball or to speed up the deterioration of the condition of the ball is not<br />
allowed. As a guide, a throw from a distance of 30 meters or more will constitute a “bounce throw”.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 55
c) Throwing the ball on the bounce in any legitimate attempt for a dismissal is allowed. The “loading” of the<br />
ball with sweat or saliva on one side or to the quarter-seam. Loading is defined as applying sweat or<br />
saliva to one side of the ball only thus changing its condition. The application of sweat or saliva to the ball,<br />
followed by immediate polishing is allowed. Such polishing must not waste time. The rubbing of the<br />
ball against any rough surface (sand, rocks, zips) is to be taken as an intentional attempt to change the<br />
condition of the ball, whether the action is successful in changing the condition of the ball or not. Umpires<br />
will make frequent and irregular inspections of the ball as provided for in the Law. The provisions of this<br />
clause will be applied if the umpires decide any of the above actions have taken place, i.e. the batsmen<br />
shall choose a replacement ball from a selection of six balls, including a new one. Five penalty runs will<br />
be awarded and the matter will be reported to the NCU.<br />
42.4 Law 42.4 - Deliberate attempt to distract striker<br />
Law 42.4 shall apply subject to the following: In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU.<br />
42.5 Law 42.5 - Deliberate distraction or obstruction of batsman<br />
Law 42.5 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
42.6 Law 42.6 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling<br />
Law 42.6 (a) - The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched Balls.<br />
Law 42.6 (a) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
a) A bowler shall be limited to two fast short-pitched deliveries per over.<br />
b) A fast short-pitched delivery is defined as a ball, which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of<br />
the striker standing upright at the popping crease.<br />
c) The umpire at the bowler's end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short pitched<br />
delivery has been bowled. In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to clause 42.4.1 (f) below, a<br />
ball that passes above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means<br />
of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide. For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is<br />
called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as one of the allowable short pitched deliveries in that<br />
over. In the event of a bowler bowling more than two fast short-pitched deliveries in an over as defined in clause<br />
42.4.1 (b) above, the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A differential signal<br />
shall be used to signify a fast short pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal 'no ball' and then tap the head<br />
with the other hand. If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball<br />
and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the<br />
batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings. If there is a second<br />
instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an<br />
over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his final warning for the innings. Should there be any further<br />
instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct<br />
the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall<br />
neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof.<br />
The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence<br />
to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.<br />
The umpires may then report the matter to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered appropriate<br />
against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play - Responsibility of the<br />
Captains.) The above is not a substitute for clause 42.7 below which umpires are able to apply at any time.<br />
Note: The agreed directive that the umpires call the marginal wide deliveries in favour of the batsman still applies.<br />
Laws 42.6 and 42.7 have been replaced totally with this playing condition. It is imperative that a consistent<br />
interpretation of short pitched bowling is applied by both on field umpires and it is expected that both on field<br />
umpires will work closely as a team to apply this restriction. It must be remembered that this not only applies to<br />
deliveries that pass beyond the striker but also deliveries that would have passed over shoulder height standing<br />
up, had the batsman not hit it. Once it has been decided that a short pitched ball has been delivered in the over, a<br />
clear signal should be given once the ball is dead thus enabling the batsmen, bowler and spectators to be aware<br />
of what has happened. It is good practice to ensure that the bowler is aware of the call by looking for an<br />
acknowledgement. Should the fast short pitched delivery pass over the head of the striker, standing upright at the<br />
crease, the ball will be called a wide ball immediately. The regulations also make it clear that any no balls or wide<br />
balls which are fast short pitched deliveries must be counted as part of the allocation for that over, despite the ball<br />
not counting as one of the over. The interpretation of this should be applied not only to a ball passing over a<br />
batsman's head but also to those that would have passed over a batsman's head. The effect of this will be that a<br />
no ball can still be called even though the batsman has struck the ball with his bat.<br />
If a bowler exceeds the permitted number of fast short pitched deliveries in an over then the disciplinary procedure<br />
is clearly laid out in the regulation and should be applied immediately. A differential signal has been assigned in<br />
order to inform the scorer of the reason for the no ball call.<br />
Please note that this offence is dealt with independent of any other instances of dangerous and unfair bowling<br />
unlike the Laws of cricket. Law 42.6 (b) Bowling of High Full Pitched Balls. Law 42.6 (b) shall be replaced by the<br />
following: Any delivery, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist<br />
height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is deemed unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict<br />
physical injury on the striker. In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball as defined in clause 42.4.2 (a)<br />
above, the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is<br />
considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman, the umpire at the bowler's end shall, in addition to calling<br />
and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, caution the bowler and issue a first and final warning. The umpire shall<br />
inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 56
c) Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to inflict<br />
physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall, in addition to calling and<br />
signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over<br />
shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be<br />
allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof. The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that<br />
innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsman at the wicket and as soon as<br />
possible to the captain of the batting side. The umpires may then report the matter to the NCU who shall take such<br />
action as is considered appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair<br />
and Unfair Play - Responsibility of the Captains.)<br />
42.7 Law 42.7 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling - Action by the umpire<br />
Law 42.7 shall be replaced by the following: Regardless of any action taken by the umpire as a result of a breach of<br />
clauses 42.4.1, 42.4.2 and 42.6 the following shall apply at any time during the match. The bowling of fast short<br />
pitched balls is unfair if in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler's end he considers that by their repetition<br />
and taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict physical injury on the<br />
striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and equipment he may be wearing. The relative skill of the<br />
striker shall also be taken into consideration. In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the bowler's<br />
end shall adopt the following procedure:<br />
a) In the first instance the umpire shall call and signal no ball, caution the bowler and inform the other umpire, the<br />
captain of the fielding side and the batsmen of what has occurred.<br />
b) If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the bowler that this is a final warning.<br />
c) Both the above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even though the bowler may later change ends.<br />
Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball<br />
and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be<br />
completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to<br />
bowl the next over, or part thereof. See Law 22.8. (Bowler Incapacitated or Suspended during an Over).<br />
The bowler thus taken off shall not be able to bowl again in that innings. The umpire will report the occurrence to<br />
the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side. The umpires<br />
may then report the matter to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain<br />
and the bowler concerned.<br />
(Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play - Responsibility of the Captains.)<br />
Note: Should the umpires initiate the caution and warning procedures set out in Clauses 42.6.1, 42.6.2,<br />
and 42.7 such cautions and warnings are not to be cumulative. This clause is different from the Law as the<br />
bowler has to infringe with “unintentional beamers” only twice in order to be removed from the attack. Under the<br />
clause of bowling high full tosses (beamers), the bowler gets only one warning as a final caution this applies even<br />
if the act was an accident and the ball slips. The only warning and caution under this playing condition is to be<br />
treated as separate to any other warning under clause 42.4 Dangerous and Unfair Bowling.<br />
42.9 Law 42.9 - Time Wasting by the Fielding Side<br />
Law 42.9 shall apply subject to Law 42.9 (c) being replaced by the following: If either umpire considers that there is any<br />
further waste of time in that innings, by any member of the fielding side the umpire concerned shall:<br />
a) Call and signal dead ball if necessary, and;<br />
b) Award 5 penalty runs to the batting side (see Law 42.17).<br />
c) Inform the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible the captain of the batting side of what<br />
has occurred.<br />
d) Together with the other umpire, report the occurrence to the NCU who shall take such action as is considered<br />
appropriate against the captain and the team concerned under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
Note: The difference between this clause and Law 42.9 lies in the penalty applicable for a second infringement.<br />
This Playing Condition clause only has one type of penalty regardless of at what stage of play the second<br />
infringement occurs a 5 run penalty. There is no provision for the bowler being removed from the attack for the<br />
second time a member of the fielding side wastes time.<br />
Pace of Play:<br />
Areas to improve pace of play:<br />
Teams to be ready to start play exactly on schedule at commencement of day's play/after lunch/tea breaks/end of<br />
innings etc. Batsmen to cross on the field of play. Batsmen to be ready when bowler is at top of his mark improve<br />
turn-around time at end of each over - especially when bowler starts a new spell Change of gloves/helmet etc.<br />
should only be taken between over's without causing any delay in play.<br />
Absolutely no change of gloves/bat/helmet, unless the equipment is broken or damaged within 10 minutes of<br />
scheduled break. Drinks break to be no more than 4 minutes each. Substitutes entering play should be done<br />
without any delay. Fielders to be in position and ready to bowl when new batsmen takes guard after fall of wicket<br />
Save in exceptionally hot conditions where the umpires shall have discretion to allow drinks to be<br />
brought onto the field at the umpire's discretion between over's. No drinks may be brought onto the field<br />
save at the official drinks breaks and at the fall of a wicket Any delays in play caused by the batting team's<br />
failure to adhere to these provisions shall be deducted from the allowances granted to that team in the<br />
calculation of its over rate. The above, shall not detract from the right of the umpires to take action under<br />
Law 42 and to lay charges against the offending players under the Code of Conduct for time wasting. After<br />
the fall of a wicket, fielders to be in position and the bowler ready to bowl as soon as the new batsmen has taken<br />
guard. To avoid unnecessary delays in play due to sightscreen issues: There is to be a “no-go” area in front of the<br />
sightscreen (where possible). The umpires should be especially vigilant in the monitoring of batsmen who waste<br />
time by taking too long to settle into their guard. Teams have a responsibility to maintain a reasonable over rate<br />
throughout the match, irrespective of whether the team is well ahead of the required over rate. If after an unofficial<br />
warning the practice of intentionally slowing down the over rate continues, the captain should receive an official<br />
warning and then be charged for time wasting if necessary.<br />
See interpretation in Clause 16.4.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 57
Pace of Play:<br />
Umpires should document and record the time it takes individual bowlers who are known to bowl their over's<br />
slowly. This information should be constructively passed on to the captain. If the above actions required by the<br />
players are not adhered to, umpires should exercise their authority under the Laws and playing conditions in a firm<br />
but non officious manner. If after a friendly warning to the captain of the fielding team or the batsmen at the wicket, as<br />
the case may be, the time wasting actions are continued or repeated, the captain or batsmen at the wicket should be<br />
given a first and final caution, which caution shall apply to the team for the remainder of the innings. The next step is<br />
to award penalty runs and lay a COC charge on the grounds of time wasting.<br />
42.10 Law 42.10 - Batsman Wasting Time<br />
Law 42.10 shall apply, subject to the following: If the incoming batsman is not in position to take guard or his partner not<br />
ready to receive the next ball within 2 minutes of the fall of the previous wicket, the action should be regarded by the<br />
umpires as time wasting and the provisions of Law 42.10 shall apply. In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to<br />
the NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct. Note: The umpires should be especially vigilant in the monitoring of<br />
batsmen who waste time by taking time to settle into their guard or generally.<br />
Switch Hit<br />
The batsman's grip and stance should be the same from the start of the bowler's run up until the beginning of the<br />
bowler's delivery stride. The batsman can utilize any grip, as long as he does not change it while the bowler is running in<br />
to bowl From the beginning of the delivery stride (defined as the moment that the bowler's back foot lands in the delivery<br />
stride), the batsman, if he chooses, may start to play the switch-hit stroke. If the bowler sees the batsman alter his grip<br />
or stance before he enters his delivery stride, he is not compelled to deliver the ball. If the bowler does not deliver the<br />
ball, in this instance, the umpire shall give the striker an informal warning. The second time this happens, the striker<br />
should be formally warned that he is wasting time under Law 42.10 (Batsman wasting time). This shall constitute a first<br />
and final warning, and be applicable to any batsman in that innings. Any subsequent instances shall result in 5 penalty<br />
runs being awarded to the fielding side.The bowler, having seen the batsman change his grip and/or stance, may<br />
decide to bowl at the batsman, and is entitled to do so. The umpires should allow that option. In short, the batsman is<br />
still entitled to play the switch-hit stroke but he is only allowed to alter from one stance or grip to another once<br />
the bowler has entered his delivery stride.<br />
42.11 Law 42.11 - Damaging the pitch area to be protected<br />
Law 42.11 shall apply.<br />
42.12 Law 42.12 - Bowler running on protected area after delivering the ball<br />
Law 42.12 shall apply, subject to 42.12 (d) (iv) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires may report the incident to the NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
42.13 Law 42.13 - Fieldsman damaging the pitch<br />
Law 42.13 shall apply. In addition, the umpires may report the incident to the NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
42.14 Law 42.14 - Batsman damaging the pitch<br />
Law 42.14 shall apply. In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
Note: Striker taking guard / stance inside the “protected area”<br />
Bowler is not allowed the play the game in the protected area and neither is the batsman<br />
a) The striker is not allowed to stand / take guard in the protected area<br />
b) The striker can play his shot, finishing the shot inside the protected area but he must move off immediately after<br />
completing his stroke. Umpires will be strict on this and warn the batsman when appropriate.<br />
42.15 Law 42.15 - Bowler attempting to run out non-striker before delivery<br />
Law 42.15 shall be replaced by the following: The bowler is permitted, before releasing the ball and provided he has not<br />
completed his usual delivery swing, to deliberately attempt to run out the non-striker. Whether the attempt is<br />
successful or not, the ball shall not count as one of the over. If the bowler fails in an attempt to run out the non-striker, the<br />
umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as possible.<br />
Note: Previously, the bowler could only run out a non-striker backing up if he did so before he entered his delivery<br />
stride. This meant that as the bowler's back foot landed, the non-striker could move down the wicket a considerable way<br />
before the bowler actually delivered the ball. This was considered unfair. The new playing condition addresses this<br />
point. The new playing condition provides that the bowler is permitted to run out the striker at any point before he<br />
releases the ball provided he has not completed his delivery swing. Please note: If the bowler breaks the wicket in<br />
delivering the ball, and the non-striker is out of his ground when the wicket is broken, the umpire shall not view<br />
this as having been an attempt to run out the non striker and play shall continue with Law 24.6 applying.<br />
The umpires should note the following points in interpreting the new playing condition: A bowler should be deemed to<br />
have completed his delivery swing once his arm passes the normal point of ball release. The normal point of ball release<br />
should be interpreted as the moment when the delivery arm is at its highest point. The new guideline for the umpire<br />
protocol when a bowler attempts to run out the non-striker before delivery is as follows:<br />
a) The umpire at the non-strikers end must respond to the appeal in the normal way; signal out or not out.<br />
b) If he is uncertain as to whether a run out was correctly effected, he is to consult with Other umpire on all accounts<br />
including whether the wicket was broken correctly, the batsman was out of his ground and the bowler effected the<br />
run out prior to him releasing the ball. i.e. before the moment of his normal delivery release.<br />
c) There is to be no communication with the fielding captain, regarding the initial appeal: The fielding captain<br />
is able to voluntarily withdraw the appeal if he so wishes, before the batsman has left the field of play, as<br />
per Law 27.8.<br />
Please note: If any member of the fielding side appeals, the on field umpire will be duty bound to make a decision or<br />
commence a referral. Umpires may warn a non-striker if he is seen to be taking unfair advantage by moving too early<br />
down the pitch, similar to the warning a bowler might receive from the on field umpire should his front foot be creeping<br />
close to a no ball. Also note the reference to Law 42.2 “Umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play”.<br />
42.16 Law 42.16 Batsman stealing a run - Law 42.16 shall apply, subject to 42.16(vi) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires may report the incident to NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />
42.17 Law 42.17 Penalty runs - Law 42.17 shall apply.<br />
42.18 Law 42.18 Players' conduct - Law 42.18 shall apply, subject to 42.18(iii) being replaced by the following:<br />
In addition, the umpires shall report the incident to the NCU under the NCU Code of Conduct.<br />

4. THE BOWLER:<br />
There is no limitation on the bowler's run-up.<br />
5. BOWLER BREAKING DOWN:<br />
In the event of the bowler breaking down or being unable to complete an over, another bowler will bowl the remaining balls,<br />
subject to Law 22(8) of the Laws of <strong>Cricket</strong>.<br />
6. DECLARATION:<br />
A team shall not be permitted to declare its innings closed.<br />
7. INTERVAL BETWEEN INNINGS:<br />
The innings of the team batting second shall not commence before the scheduled time for commencement of the second<br />
session unless the team batting first has completed its innings at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval, in which case<br />
a 10 minute break will occur and the team batting second will commence its innings and the interval will occur as scheduled.<br />
8. INTERVALS FOR DRINKS:<br />
One drinks break per session is permitted.<br />
The provisions of Law 15.9 shall be strictly observed except that under conditions of extreme heat the Umpires may permit<br />
an extra interval for drinks.<br />
NB: On the field of play<br />
An individual player may be given a drink either on the boundary edge or at the fall of a wicket, on the field, provided that no<br />
playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the field without the permission of the Umpires. Any player taking<br />
drinks onto the field shall be dressed in proper cricket attire.<br />
9. EXTRA TIME:<br />
In a match where the start is delayed or play is suspended, the hours of play may be extended beyond the scheduled close,<br />
weather and light permitting.<br />
10. APPOINTMENT OF UMPIRES:<br />
The Executive of the <strong>Northerns</strong> <strong>Cricket</strong> Umpires Association will appoint official umpires for all fixtures.<br />
If official umpires are not available captains, or players nominated by them, will deputize.<br />
11. WIDE BALL:<br />
While Law 25 of the Laws of <strong>Cricket</strong> will be applicable, the Umpire will furthermore call and signal “wide ball” if a ball bowled<br />
by the bowler passes the line of the striker's wicket wider than 0.75 meters (2ft 6 inches) of the striker's off-stump.The Umpire<br />
shall furthermore call “wide ball” if a ball bowled by the bowler passes the line of the striker's wicket on the striker's leg-side<br />
wider than 0.3 meters (1 ft) of the striker's heels, whilst standing in a normal guard position.<br />
NB! Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation of this Law in order to prevent negative bowling<br />
wide of the wicket. Any offside or leg side delivery that, in the opinion of the Umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable<br />
opportunity to score shall be called a wide. As a guide, on the leg side a ball landing clearly outside the leg stump going<br />
further away shall be called a wide. In addition, for the purpose of this regulation and subject to Clause 42.4.1 (f)below,<br />
a ball that passes above head height of the batsman, that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by<br />
means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called a wide.<br />
12. NO BALL:<br />
Law 42.6 (b)Bowling of Short Pitched Balls<br />
(a) A bowler shall be allowed to bowl one fast short- pitched delivery in an over.<br />
(b) A fast short -pitched delivery is defined as a ball that passes or would have passed above shoulder height of the<br />
batsman standing upright at the crease.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 61
(c) In the event of the bowler bowling more than one fast short pitched delivery in an over, either Umpire shall call and<br />
signal no ball on each occasion only in cases where the batsman has not made contact with the ball, with either his bat<br />
or hand holding the bat. A penalty of one run for a fast short pitched no ball shall be scored plus any runs scored from<br />
the delivery. A fast short pitched no ball shall be reckoned as one of the over.<br />
(d) In the event of the bowler bowling more than one fast short pitched delivery in an over, the Umpire shall not call no ball in<br />
cases where the batsman has made contact with the ball with his bat or hand holding the bat, and whatever runs result,<br />
shall be added to his score. The above regulation is not a substitute for Law 42.8 which umpires are able to apply at any time.<br />
NOTE: The provision of one allowable fast short- pitched delivery per over shall be superseded by clause 10 “Wide<br />
Bowling”, in cases where a delivery passes outside the reach of the striker.<br />
Law 42.6 (b)Bowling of High Full Pitched Balls<br />
Law 42.6 (b) shall be replaced by the following:<br />
(a) Any delivery, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height or shoulder height of the striker<br />
standing upright at the crease is deemed unfair, whether or not is it likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.<br />
(b) In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball as defined in Clause 42.4.2 (a) above (i.e. a beamer), the<br />
umpire at the bowler's end shall, in the first instance, call and signal no ball. In the event of a bowler bowling a high<br />
full pitched ball as defined in Clause 42.4.2 (a) above, the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no<br />
ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is considered likely to inflict physical injury on the<br />
batsman, the umpire at the bowler's end shall, in addition to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is<br />
dead, caution the bowler and issue a first and final warning. The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the<br />
captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred.<br />
(c) Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to inflict<br />
physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall, in addition to calling and<br />
signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall<br />
be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to<br />
bowl the next over, or part thereof.<br />
(d) The bowler thus taken off shall not be allowed to bowl again in that innings.<br />
(e) The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsman at the wicket and as soon as possible to the<br />
captain of the batting side.<br />
13. BOUNDARIES:<br />
The boundaries of all grounds shall be circular, if possible, and marked at a minimum radius of 68,5 meters (75 yards) from a<br />
point situated in the centre of the table. In the absence of any marked boundaries, the Captains of the two opposing sides<br />
and the official Umpire(s) shall, at the commencement of the game, decide on the boundaries. If no official Umpire(s) is<br />
present the Captains of the two opposing sides shall, prior to commencement of the game, decide upon the boundaries.<br />
Sightscreens must be outside the boundary.<br />
14. MARKINGS:<br />
The home club shall provide the necessary equipment (brush' white-wash/paint etc.) and manpower, to re-mark the creases<br />
during all breaks in play. Note: The "danger area" shall be marked 1,52 meters (5 ft) from the popping crease<br />
15. FITNESS OF THE GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT:<br />
The Umpires will only suspend play for bad light when they consider that there is a risk of serious physical injury to the<br />
batsmen. Amongst the facts to be considered are background, sightscreens and the type of bowling. Before deciding to<br />
suspend play, or not to resume play after an interval on account of bad light (but for no other reason) the Umpire shall<br />
establish whether the captain of the batting team (the batsmen at the wicket may deputize for their captain) wishes to<br />
continue in unfit conditions, if so, his wishes shall be met.<br />
Note: Irrespective of any regulation above or Laws in the 2000 Code, the Umpires may call off play where and when they<br />
believe that it is completely unreasonable or too dangerous to continue. Law 3, paragraphs 8, 9 of the Laws of <strong>Cricket</strong> shall<br />
apply but, in addition, if no official Umpire(s) is/are officiating in the match, the fitness of the ground, weather and light shall<br />
rest in the hands of the participating captains. Particular regard is to be had to the Code of Ethics. If no official ground<br />
authority is available not later than half an hour prior to the scheduled commencement of a match, the ground shall be<br />
considered to have been automatically handed over to the Umpire(s)/Captains as from that time. If an officially appointed<br />
Umpire(s) arrives at the ground later than 15 minutes from the scheduled commencement of the match, the decision<br />
regarding the fitness of the ground for play before commencement of the match on the first day shall rest in the hands of the<br />
participating captains. In order to facilitate play at the earliest possible moment after rain, the Umpires shall see that all<br />
necessary steps are taken to improve the playing area, other than the pitch, by instructing the curator to use every<br />
practicable means to remove water from the covers on the pitch and any other water surrounding the pitch or elsewhere on<br />
the playing area. Any means may be employed to dry the pitch, provided that it is not damaged thereby. The pitch may be<br />
rolled with Hessian to dry it if, after rain has fallen during the progress of a match it is wet but NOT damaged by play on it, on<br />
condition that the decision is at the discretion of the Umpires. Before instructing that the pitch be dried artificially as above,<br />
the Umpires must be satisfied that a reasonable prospect of play exists.<br />
16. HELMET AND OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:<br />
16.1 The fielding side may use more than one helmet. Protective helmets, when not in use by members of the fielding side,<br />
shall only be placed on the ground behind the wicketkeeper. In the event of the ball, when in play, striking against a<br />
helmet whilst in this position, five penalty runs shall be awarded, as laid down in Law 41.3<br />
16.2 A batsman's helmet will not be held by the Umpires. A batsman who chooses to use a helmet must wear or carry it<br />
personally all the time while play is in progress. While he may call for a helmet to be brought out to him during any<br />
break in play, including the end of an over or a fall of a wicket, he may only have the helmet taken off the field at the fall<br />
of a wicket or at the next interval, i.e. not at the end of an over. A batsman may only change an item of protective<br />
equipment other than a helmet, e.g. batting gloves, etc. at the fall of a wicket or at the next interval, i.e. not at the end of<br />
an over, unless the equipment is clearly damaged or unserviceable and then only with the approval of the Umpires.<br />
Gloves, which become so wet and unserviceable, may be changed only with the approval of the Umpires.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 62
16.3 If, having been played by the batsman, or having come off his person, the ball then rebounds directly from a<br />
fieldsman's helmet onto the stumps with either batsman out of his ground, the batsman shall be "not out".<br />
17. NON STRIKER RUNNING PREMATURELY<br />
17.1 The practice whereby a non-striker embarks on a run by leaving his ground before the bowler's front foot h as<br />
landed in the delivery stride shall be considered as unfair play.<br />
17.2 If either on-field umpire considers the non-striker has acted in this way, then once the ball is dead, if any ru ns<br />
have been scored from that delivery under Law 18.1(a) (i.e. other than runs scored from penalties (Law 1 8 . 6 )<br />
or from boundaries (Law 18.7)), they shall:<br />
(a) disallow the first run completed from that delivery<br />
(b) signal short run<br />
(c) instruct the batsmen to change ends for the next delivery<br />
(d) warn the non-striker that the practice is unfair and that any further breaches in that innings may be the<br />
subject of a report to the Tournament Director.<br />
18. A TEAM:<br />
A minimum of 7 players in a Team is required to commence a game.<br />
19. SUBSTITUTES:<br />
In normal circumstances a substitute shall be allowed to field only for a player who satisfies the Umpire that he has been<br />
injured or become ill during the match. However, in very exceptional circumstances, the umpires may use their discretion to<br />
allow a substitute for a player who has to leave the field or does not take the field for other wholly acceptable reasons, subject<br />
to consent being given by the opposing captain. If a player wishes to change his shirt, boots, etc. he may leave the field to do<br />
so (no changing on the field) but no substitute will be allowed.<br />
20. THE RESULT:<br />
If no official Umpire(s) are officiating in a match, any decision regarding the correctness of the score shall be the<br />
responsibility of the captains. The captains shall act in terms of Law 21.8 of the Laws of <strong>Cricket</strong> 2000 Code. If the captains<br />
cannot reach agreement regarding the correctness of the scores, such captains shall refer the matter to the <strong>Northerns</strong><br />
<strong>Cricket</strong> <strong>Union</strong> for final decision. Please note Law 21 paragraph 6 when the final runs are scored.<br />
21. RULINGS:<br />
Any ruling on the interpretation and application of any one of the playing conditions contained herein shall be addressed to<br />
the Manager of Amateur <strong>Cricket</strong> of the <strong>Union</strong> in writing, who will then give a ruling.<br />
The Executive Committee will hear any appeal against such ruling.<br />

Innings<br />
Law 2 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
2.1 Substitutes and Runners<br />
Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply. A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.<br />
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows:<br />
The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for<br />
nominated player at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.<br />
2.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field<br />
Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a<br />
session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the<br />
field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified).<br />
The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than<br />
8 minutes:<br />
2.2.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team has<br />
subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter referred to as<br />
penance time), subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. If any unexpired penance time<br />
remains at the end of the first innings, it is carried forward to the second innings of the match.<br />
2.2.2. The player shall not be permitted to bat in the match until his team's batting innings has been in progress for the<br />
length of playing time that is equal to the unexpired penance time carried forward from the previous innings,<br />
subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. However, once his side has lost five wickets in<br />
its batting innings, he may bat immediately. For the purposes of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, playing time shall comprise the<br />
time play is in progress excluding lunch and tea intervals, intervals between innings and official drinks intervals.<br />
However, in the event of a batsman or a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an<br />
interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall<br />
be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires<br />
when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of an<br />
interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player<br />
is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall<br />
automatically be allowed to count any such stop-page time as playing time, provided he returns to the field of<br />
play immediately after the interruption. The restriction in Clauses 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 above shall not apply if the<br />
player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst<br />
participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player<br />
has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness).<br />
2.2.3 Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons.<br />
'Wholly acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is<br />
commonly referred to as a 'comfort break'.<br />

the match ball throughout the duration of the match when play is not actually taking place. During play the umpires shall<br />
periodically and irregularly inspect the condition of the ball and shall retain possession of it at the fall of a wicket, a drinks<br />

has similar amount of wear, even though it has not gone out of shape.<br />
5.2.3 If the ball is to be replaced, the umpire shall inform the batsmen and the fielding captain. Either batsman or<br />
bowler may raise the matter with the umpires and the umpires' decision as to a replacement or otherwise will<br />

the groundsman, but the drying of the affected area of the pitch shall be carried out only on the instructions and<br />
under the supervision of the umpires. The umpires shall be empowered to have the pitch dried without<br />
reference to the captains at any time they are of the opinion that it is unfit for play.<br />
10.1.2 The umpires may instruct the groundsman to use any available equipment, including any roller for the purpose<br />

12. Law 12 - Innings<br />
Law 12 shall apply subject to the following<br />
(See also clauses 15 and 16 below):<br />
12.1 Number of innings<br />
Law 12.1 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
All matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 30 overs.<br />
12.4 Length of Innings<br />
12.4.1 Uninterrupted Matches.<br />
(a) Each team shall bat for 30 overs unless all out earlier or a result achieved.<br />
(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the<br />
first innings, play shall continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is<br />
completed. In addition if the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the<br />
scheduled cessation for the first innings, 12 penalty runs will be awarded to the side batting<br />
second, for every over not bowled. The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the first innings is reached, will be completed and count as a completed over. For the sake of<br />
clarity only overs not bowled after the completion of the over in progress at the scheduled<br />
Cessation time for the first innings shall be scored as penalty runs. Such penalty runs will be<br />
scored as penalty extras.<br />
(c) The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the scheduled time, subject to<br />
there being a minimum interval of 10 minutes. The team batting second shall receive its full quota of<br />
30 overs irrespective of the number of overs it bowled by the scheduled cessation time for the first innings<br />
(d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the second innings, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of over's have been<br />
bowled or a result is achieved. In addition if the team fielding second fails to bowl the required<br />
number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the second innings, the side batting second<br />
has the option to either accept 12 penalty runs for every over not bowled, or to continue batting.<br />
The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time is reached, will be completed and count<br />
as a completed over. For the sake of clarity only full overs not bowled after the completion of the<br />
over in progress at the scheduled cessation time shall be scored as penalty runs. Once this<br />
decision has been taken it is irreversible. Such penalty runs will be scored as penalty extras.<br />
(e) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 30 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat<br />
for 30 overs.<br />
(f) In determining the time at which the required number of overs have to be completed, the umpires<br />
shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the actual time<br />
taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the actual time lost<br />
due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(g) In addition to the penalties in (b) and (d) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of Conduct,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
12.4.2 Delayed or Interrupted Matches<br />
a. Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting First<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be<br />
based on a rate of 16 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the<br />
total remaining time available for play. When determining the time available for play, the total number<br />
of minutes remaining until the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining<br />
number of minutes have been determined, an allowance of 7 minutes for drinks breaks in each<br />
innings (a total of 14 minutes) and an allowance of 15 minutes for the change of innings interval shall<br />
be made. In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over shall be<br />
applied. If such calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be rounded up in order to<br />
allow for a full over to be bowled. For example 25.4 over's shall become 26 over's.<br />
Example of calculations:<br />
Start of play is delayed until 14h30<br />
Number of minutes remaining: 195 minutes<br />
Allow 14 minutes for two drinks breaks<br />
Allow 15 minutes for change of innings interval<br />
Playing time remaining: 166 minutes<br />
166 minutes divided by 3.75 = 44.26 over's<br />
44.26 rounded up = 45<br />
One over is added to make it an even number<br />
Each side shall receive a maximum of 23 over's<br />
Rescheduled time for the interval: 16:04 (23 x 3.75minutes = 86.25 becomes 87 plus 7 minutes for<br />
drinks) Total of 94 minutes The second innings will commence at 16:19<br />
Rescheduled time for completion of the second innings: 17:53<br />
2 bowlers may bowl a maximum of 4 overs and 3 bowlers may bowl 5 over's<br />
(ii) The revision of the number of over's should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 over's have to be bowled to the side batting<br />
second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />

(iii) If the drinks break already occurred at the time of the interruption, the 7 minute allowance for such<br />
drinks break shall not be made in determining the time remaining in the match. No drinks breaks<br />
shall be scheduled for innings' of 20 over's or less duration.<br />
(iv) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's faced by<br />
Team 1 multiplied by 3.75, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of (12.4.2b) below<br />
take effect.<br />
(v) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the<br />
match, by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time available<br />
for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions<br />
in playing hours, interruptions in play, and intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into<br />
consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest<br />
possible rescheduled time for cessation of play.<br />
(vi) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not having<br />
bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation times for the first and<br />
second innings.<br />
(vii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed, the<br />
umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the<br />
actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the<br />
actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(viii) The team batting second shall receive its full quota of overs irrespective of the number of over's it<br />
bowled by the rescheduled cessation time for the first innings.<br />
(ix) In cases where the team bowling first did not bowl the required number of overs by the<br />
rescheduled cessation time for the innings, the interval shall be reduced to enable the second<br />
innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 10 minutes<br />
(x) In addition to the penalties in (12.4.2.a.v) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of<br />
Conduct, conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
(b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to<br />
have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of over's in the playing time<br />
available, the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be based on a rate of 16 overs<br />
per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the total remaining time<br />
available for play. When determining the time available for play, the total number of minutes<br />
remaining until the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining number of<br />
minutes have been determined, an allowance of 7 minutes for a drinks break shall be made.<br />
In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over shall be applied.<br />
If such calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be rounded up in order to allow for a<br />
full over to be bowled. For example 27.1 over's shall become 28 over's.<br />
Example of calculations:<br />
The start of the second innings is delayed until16h20<br />
Number of minutes remaining: 85 minutes<br />
Allow 7 minutes for a drinks break<br />
Playing time remaining: 78 minutes<br />
78 minutes divided by 3.75 = 20.8 over's<br />
20.8 over's are rounded up to 21 over's<br />
The side batting second shall receive a maximum of 21 over's<br />
Rescheduled time for the second inning to be completed: 17h46<br />
4 bowlers may bowl a maximum of 4 overs and 1 bowler may bowl 5 over's<br />
(ii) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of over's than the first team unless the<br />
latter completed its innings in less than its allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20<br />
over's have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) If the drinks break already occurred at the time of the interruption, the 7 minute allowance for such<br />
drinks break shall not be made in determining the time remaining in the match. No drinks breaks<br />
shall be scheduled for innings' of 20 over's or less duration.<br />
(iv) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. When<br />
calculating the length of playing time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the<br />
timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and<br />
intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into consideration when specifying this time.<br />
This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest possible<br />
rescheduled time for cessation of play<br />
(v) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled,<br />
or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the<br />
revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second<br />
innings started early has elapsed.<br />
(vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised over's by the re-scheduled close of play, the<br />
hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
(vii) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not having<br />
bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation time for the innings.<br />
(viii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed, the<br />
umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the<br />
actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the<br />
actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(ix) In addition to the penalties in (vi) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of Conduct,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />

No bowler shall bowl more than 6 overs in an innings.<br />
In a delayed or interrupted match where the over's are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no<br />
bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed. Where the total over's not divisible by 5, one additional<br />
over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler<br />
breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler. Such part<br />
of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.<br />

of that wicket. In an innings of scheduled duration of less than 30 overs, drinks shall be taken once half of the allotted<br />
number of over's have been bowled. All drinks to be taken shall be of non alcoholic nature. An individual player may be<br />

1.2. Nomination of Players:<br />
Law 1.2 shall be replaced by the following:<br />
1.1.1. Each captain shall provide a list of the names of the 11 players in writing to the Umpires before the toss.<br />
No player may be changed after the nomination without the consent of the opposing captain. If the late<br />
withdrawal of a player nominated to participate in any CSA Woman's competitions match, such player shall by<br />
right, be permitted a replacement after the nomination. (Refer to Clause 2.2 - Law 2.3 Restrictions on the role<br />
of substitutes, as modified).<br />
1.3 Captain<br />
The following shall apply in addition to Law 1.3 (a): The deputy must be one of the 11 nominated starting players.<br />

Commencing Innings<br />
Law 2 shall apply subject to the following:<br />
2.1 Substitutes and Runners<br />
Law 2.1 (a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply. A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted.<br />
Law 2.1 (b) shall be amended as follows: The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly<br />
acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a nominated player at the start of the match, or at any<br />
subsequent time.<br />
2.2 Fielder absent or leaving the field<br />
Law 2.5 shall be replaced by the following: If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at<br />
any later time, or leaves the field during a session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence,<br />
and he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law<br />
2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for<br />
longer than 8 minutes:<br />
2.2.1 The player shall not be permitted to bowl in the match until he has either been able to field, or his team has<br />
subsequently been batting, for the total length of playing time for which he was absent (hereafter referred to as<br />
penance time), subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. If any unexpired penance<br />
time remains at the end of the first innings, it is carried forward to the second innings of the match.<br />
2.2.2. The player shall not be permitted to bat in the match until his team's batting innings has been in progress for<br />
the length of playing time that is equal to the unexpired penance time carried forward from the previous<br />
innings, subject to a maximum cumulative penance time of 120 minutes. However, once his side has lost five<br />
wickets in its batting innings, he may bat immediately. For the purposes of 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, playing time shall<br />
comprise the time play is in progress excluding lunch and tea intervals, intervals between innings and official<br />
drinks intervals. However, in the event of a batsman or a fieldsman already being off the field at the<br />

circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he<br />
personally informs the umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at<br />
the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other<br />
exceptional circumstances, a player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a<br />
previous absence, he shall automatically be allowed to count any such stop-page time as playing time,<br />
provided he returns to the field of play immediately after the interruption. The restriction in Clauses 2.2.1 and<br />
2.2.2 above shall not apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as<br />
a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor<br />
shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than<br />
injury or illness).<br />
2.2.3 Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable<br />
reasons. 'Wholly acceptable reasons' should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not<br />
include what is commonly referred to as a 'comfort break'.<br />

(a) Each team shall bat for 35 overs unless all out earlier or a result achieved.<br />
(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the<br />
first innings, play shall continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is<br />
completed. In addition if the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the<br />
scheduled cessation for the first innings, 12 penalty runs will be awarded to the side batting<br />
second, for every over not bowled. The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the first innings is reached, will be completed and count as a completed over. For the sake of<br />
clarity only overs not bowled after the completion of the over in progress at the scheduled<br />
cessation time for the first innings shall be scored as penalty runs. Such penalty runs will be<br />
scored as penalty extras.<br />
(c) The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the scheduled time, subject<br />
to there being a minimum interval of 10 minutes. The team batting second shall receive its full quota of 35<br />
overs irrespective of the number of overs it bowled by the scheduled cessation time for the first innings.<br />
(d) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of over's by the scheduled cessation time for<br />
the second innings, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of over's have been<br />
bowled or a result is achieved. In addition if the team fielding second fails to bowl the required<br />
number of overs by the scheduled cessation time for the second innings, the side batting second<br />
has the option to either accept 12 penalty runs for every over not bowled, or to continue batting.<br />
The over in progress when the scheduled cessation time is reached, will be completed and count<br />
as a completed over. For the sake of clarity only full overs not bowled after the completion of the<br />
over in progress at the scheduled cessation time shall be scored as penalty runs. Once this<br />
decision has been taken it is irreversible. Such penalty runs will be scored as penalty extras.<br />
(e) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 35 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat<br />
for 35 overs.<br />
(f) In determining the time at which the required number of overs have to be completed, the umpires<br />
shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the actual time<br />
taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the actual time lost<br />
due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(g) In addition to the penalties in (b) and (d) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of Conduct,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
12.4.2 Delayed or Interrupted Matches<br />
(a) Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting First<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be<br />
based on a rate of 16 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the<br />
total remaining time available for play. When determining the time available for play, the total number<br />
of minutes remaining until the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining<br />
number of minutes have been determined, an allowance of 5 minutes for 1 drinks breaks in each<br />
innings and an allowance of 15minutes for the change of innings interval shall be made.<br />
In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over shall be applied. If such<br />
calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be rounded up in order to allow for a full over<br />
to be bowled. For example 34.4 over's shall become 35 over's<br />
(ii) The revision of the number of over's should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 over's have to be bowled to the side batting<br />
second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) No drinks breaks shall be scheduled for innings' of 20 over's or less duration.<br />
(iv) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's faced by<br />
Team 1 multiplied by 3.75, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of (12.4.2b) below<br />
take effect.<br />
(v) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the<br />
match, by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time available<br />
for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions<br />
in playing hours, interruptions in play, and intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into<br />
consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest<br />
possible rescheduled time for cessation of play.<br />
(vi) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not having<br />
bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation times for the first and<br />
second innings.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 75
(vii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed, the<br />
Umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the<br />
actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the<br />
actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(viii) The team batting second shall receive its full quota of overs irrespective of the number of over's it<br />
bowled by the rescheduled cessation time for the first innings.<br />
(ix) In cases where the team bowling first did not bowl the required number of overs by the<br />
rescheduled cessation time for the innings, the interval shall be reduced to enable the second<br />
innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 10minutes<br />
(x) In addition to the penalties in (12.4.2.a.v) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of<br />
Conduct, conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
(b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
(i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to<br />
have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of over's in the playing time<br />
available, the revised number of over's to be bowled in the match shall be based on a rate of 16<br />
overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the total remaining time<br />
available for play. When determining the time available for play, the total number of minutes<br />
remaining until the scheduled close of play shall be determined. Once the remaining number of<br />
minutes has been determined, an allowance of 5 minutes for a drinks break shall be made.<br />
In calculating the remaining number of over's a rate of 3.75 minutes per over shall be applied.<br />
If such calculations result in a fraction of an over, the over shall be rounded up in order to allow for a<br />
full over to be bowled. For example 27.1 over's shall become 28 over's.<br />
(ii) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of over's than the first team unless the<br />
latter completed its innings in less than its allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20<br />
over has to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
(iii) If the drinks break already occurred at the time of the interruption, the 5 minute allowance for such<br />
drinks break shall not be made in determining the time remaining in the match. No drinks breaks<br />
shall be scheduled for innings' of 20 over's or less duration.<br />
(iv) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. When<br />
calculating the length of playing time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the<br />
timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and<br />
intervals, including those for drinks, will be taken into consideration when specifying this time. This<br />
calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the latest possible rescheduled<br />
time for cessation of play<br />
(v) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled,<br />
or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the<br />
revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second<br />
innings started early has elapsed.<br />
(vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised over's by the re-scheduled close of play, the<br />
hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
(vii) The same penalties as stipulated in 12.4.1.b and 12.4.1.d above shall apply for teams not having<br />
bowled the minimum required number of over's by the rescheduled cessation time for the innings.<br />
(viii) In determining the time at which the required number of over's have to be completed, the<br />
umpires shall allow time for the medical treatment given to a player on the field of play, the<br />
actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the case of a serious injury and the<br />
actual time lost due to other circumstances beyond the control of the players<br />
(ix) In addition to the penalties in (vi) above, the captain may be charged under the Code of Conduct,<br />
conduct contrary to the spirit of the game, on the basis of time wasting.<br />
12.5 Extra Time<br />
30 minutes of extra time will be allowed.<br />
12.6 Number of Overs per Bowler<br />
No bowler shall bowl more than 7 overs in an innings.<br />
In a delayed or interrupted match where the over's are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no<br />
bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed.<br />
Where the total over's is not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler<br />
necessary to make up the balance. In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the<br />
remaining balls will be allowed by another bowler.<br />
Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.<br />
12.7 Minimum number of overs required to be bowled<br />
12.7.1 The minimum number of overs to be bowled by the fielding team shall be 16 overs per hour.<br />
12.7.2 In calculating the minimum number of overs required to be bowled, the following time allowances shall be made<br />
(a) the actual time taken where treatment is given by authorised medical personnel to a player on the field of<br />
play;<br />
(b) the actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the event of a serious injury;<br />

4. LAW 4 - THE SCORERS<br />
Law 4 shall apply.<br />
b) If at the umpires together agree, that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is<br />
obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or<br />
dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to<br />
commence or to restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is<br />
one for the umpires alone to make. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet and slippery does not<br />
warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider<br />
the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the<br />
power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets,<br />
then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place.<br />
c) When there is a suspension of play it is the responsibility of the umpires to monitor the conditions. They<br />
shall make inspections as often as appropriate. Immediately the umpires together agree that conditions<br />
are suitable for play they shall call upon the players to resume the game.<br />
d) If play is in progress up to the start of an agreed interval then it will resume after the interval unless the<br />
umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather or light are so bad that there is obvious<br />
and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous<br />
for play to take place.<br />

has similar amount of wear, even though it has not gone out of shape.<br />
5.2.3 If the ball is to be replaced, the umpire shall inform the batsmen and the fielding captain. Either batsman or<br />

NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 84
ii) The revision of the number of overs should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the<br />
opportunity of batting for the same number of over's. The team batting second shall not bat for a<br />
greater number of over's than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its<br />
allocated over's. To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 over's have to be bowled to the side batting<br />
second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
iii) As soon as the total minutes of playing time remaining is less than the completed over's faced by<br />
Team 1 multiplied by 3.75, then the first innings is terminated and the provisions of 12.4.2 b)<br />
below take effect.<br />
iv) A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for<br />
the match, by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time<br />
available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative<br />
delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and the interval will be taken into<br />
consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the original or<br />
rescheduled time for cessation of play on the final scheduled day for play. If required, the original<br />
time shall be extended to allow for one extra over for each team.<br />

continue until the required number of over's have been bowled or the innings is completed.<br />
vi) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates<br />
b) Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second<br />
i) When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to<br />
have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of over's in the playing time<br />
available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 16 overs per hour in respect of the lost<br />
playing time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored.<br />
ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled,<br />
or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the<br />
revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second<br />
innings started early has elapsed.<br />
iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 over's have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to<br />
a result not being achieved earlier.<br />
iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of over's than the first team unless the<br />
latter completed its innings in less than its allocated over's.<br />
v) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 16 overs per hour. The timing<br />
and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken<br />
into consideration in specifying this time.<br />
vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of<br />
play, the hours of play shall be extended until the over's have been bowled or a result achieved.<br />
vii) Penalties shall apply for slow over rates.<br />

No bowler shall bowl more than 4 overs in an innings.<br />
In a delayed or interrupted match where the over's are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no<br />
bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total over's allowed. Where the total over's not divisible by 5, one<br />
additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance. In the event<br />
of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be allowed by another<br />
bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.<br />
12.7 The toss<br />
Law 12.4 shall be replaced by the following: The captains shall toss for the choice of innings, on the field of play and<br />
in the presence of the umpires. The toss shall take place not earlier than 30 minutes, nor later than 15 minutes before<br />

immediately and the innings of the team batting second will commence correspondingly earlier. In circumstances where<br />
the side bowling first has not completed the allotted number of overs by the scheduled or re scheduled cessation time<br />
for the first innings, the umpires shall reduce the length of the interval by the amount of time that the first innings over<br />
ran. The minimum time for the interval will be 10 minutes. However, following a lengthy delay or interruption prior to the<br />
completion of the innings of the team batting first, the umpires may, at their discretion, reduce the interval between<br />
innings from 20 minutes to not less than 10 minutes. Such discretion should only be exercised after determining the<br />
adjusted overs per side based on a 20 minute interval. If having exercised this discretion, the rescheduled finishing time<br />
for the match is earlier than the latest possible finishing time, then these minutes should be deducted from the length of<br />
any interruption during the second innings before determining the over's remaining.<br />

e) all other circumstances that are beyond the control of the fielding side.<br />
In the event of any time allowances being granted to the fielding team under 16.2 (d) above (time wasting by batting<br />
team), then such time shall be de-ducted from the allowances granted to such batting team in the determination of its<br />
over rate. In addition to the allowances as provided for above, in the case of an innings that has been reduced due to<br />
any delay or interruption in play, an additional allowance of 1 minute for every full 3 overs by which the innings is<br />
reduced will be granted. an additional allowance of 1 minute will be given for each of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th wickets<br />

If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of over's in the innings of either team<br />
has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 5 over's), then a revised target<br />
score (to win) should be set for the number of over's which the team batting second will have the opportunity<br />
of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth/Lewis/Stern method.<br />
The target set will always be a whole number and one run less will constitute a Tie.<br />
(Refer Duckworth/Lewis/Stern Regulations).<br />
21.7.2 Prematurely Terminated Matches<br />
If the innings of the side batting second is suspended (with at least 5 over's bowled) and it is not possible for<br />

next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed<br />
only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball.<br />

1. Subject to weather conditions the Super Over will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined by<br />
the umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match.<br />
2. The amount of extra time allocated to the Super Over is the greater of (a) the extra time allocated to the original match less<br />
the amount of extra time actually utilized and (b) the gap between the actual end of the match and the time the original match<br />
would have been scheduled to finish had the whole of the extra time pro-vision been utilized. Should play be delayed prior to<br />
or during the Super Over once the playing time lost exceeds the extra time allocated, the Super Over shall be abandoned.<br />
See clause 15.<br />
3. The Super Over will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by<br />
the umpires in consultation with the ground authority and the NCU.<br />
4. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match.<br />

relevant Laws and Playing Conditions as they apply in the main match shall al-so apply in the Super Over.<br />
NORTHERNS CRICKET UNION FIXTURE HANDBOOK 2016/<strong>2017</strong> SEASON 91
7. Any penance time being served in the main match shall be carried forward to the Super Over.<br />
8. Each team's over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for the last over in a normal T20.<br />
9. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over.<br />
10. The fielding captain or his nominee shall select the ball with which he wishes to bowl his over in the Super Over from the box of<br />
spare balls provided by the umpires. Such box to include the balls used in the main match, but no new balls. The team fielding<br />
first in the Super Over shall have first choice of ball. The team fielding second may choose to use the same ball as chosen by<br />
the team bowling first. If the ball needs to be changed, then playing conditions as stated for the main match shall apply.<br />
11. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team's one over innings.<br />
12. In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, if the original match was a tie<br />
under the D/L method, clause 14 immediately applies. Otherwise, the team whose batsmen hit the most number of<br />
boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner.<br />
13. If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batsmen scored more boundaries during its innings<br />
in the main match (ignoring the Super Over) shall be the winner.<br />
14. If still equal, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery<br />
shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls.<br />
Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the<br />
previous legitimate ball, i.e. including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.<br />
Example:<br />
RUNS SCORED FROM: TEAM 1 TEAM 2<br />
Ball 6 1 1<br />
Ball 5 4 4<br />
Ball 4 2 1<br />
Ball 3 6 2<br />
Ball 2 0 1<br />
Ball 1 2 6<br />
In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However, team 1<br />
scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner. 15 Clause 2 examples: Scheduled finish<br />
5.00, 30 minutes extra time available, so scheduled finish time if the whole of the extra time provision is utilized is 5.30.<br />
a) No extra time is utilized in the original match who overruns ten minutes and finishes at 5.10. The Super Over is<br />
scheduled to start at 5.20 with 30 minutes extra time available. It starts on time but is interrupted at 5.25. Play must<br />
resume by 5.55 otherwise the Super Over is abandoned.<br />
b) 20 minutes of extra time was utilized, with the match scheduled to finish at 5.20, but it actually finishes at 5.10. Therefore,<br />
the extra time allocated to the Super Over is the greater of a) 10 minutes (30 minutes extra time less 20 already utilized)<br />
and b) 20 minutes (the gap from the actual finish time of 5.10 and the scheduled finish had the full extra time been utilized<br />
of 5.30). The Super Over was due to start at 5.20, but is delayed by rain. It must therefore start by 5.40 or the Super Over<br />
is abandoned.<br />
c) The match finishes at 5.40 (having started 30 minutes late and overrun by 10 minutes). There is no extra time allocated<br />
to the Super Over which should start at 5.50. Any delay or interruption after 5.50 means the Super Over is abandoned.<br />
