New cricket rule on bad behaviour
Even cricket is facing bad behaviour. A new
law of the game, on ‘players’ conduct’, was
announced by Lord’s (pictured) in April, and
comes into force on October 1. It gives what
the MCC as the club responsible for the
game’s laws calls an ‘in-match consequence
for poor on-field behaviour’. In detail, the law
42 offers ‘on-field sanctions to deal with
deteriorating levels of behaviour’. Four levels
of offences have been created, level four as
the worst (an actual assault). The laws drafters
say that the penalties are meant as deterrents,
and ‘would only rarely be applied’. Briefly, the
lowest level one covers excessive appealing,
obscene words or gestures; the umpire would
give a warning, and if repeated, a five run
penalty to the opposition.
Level two is more serious
dissent, again obscene
words or actions, or throwing
the ball at someone; again,
the umpire gives five runs to
the opposition. Level three is
intimidating an umpire, or
threatening to assault
someone else. An offender is
suspended for a number of
overs, depending on the length of the match,
plus five penalty runs. In a level four offence,
an assault, the player is removed from the field
for the rest of the match; and five runs go to
the opposition. In all cases, the umpire calls
‘time’ to halt the match and will involve the
fielding captain, who may be told
to remove the offending fielder.
The umpire won’t show red or
yellow cards as in football;
instead he will make signals (to
the scorer, not the player). It
starts with the umpire putting an
arm out to the side of the body
and repeatedly raising it and
lowering it. For level three
offences, he then raises both
hands, all fingers spread, to shoulder height,
palms facing towards the scorers. For level
four, he raises an index finger, held at shoulder
height, to the side of the body. If the captain
will not co-operate, the umpire can award the
match to the other team; or abandon. p
