18. LAWS OF CRICKET Except as specified to the contrary the 2000 Code of the Laws of Cricket plus amendments,

the current NZC First Class playing conditions shall apply in all matches. Exception being as otherwise provided within the T.C.A. Rules & Regulations. The following conditions are applicable to all grades (Men and Women).

19. FITNESS OF PITCH, GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT a.) Pitch, Ground, Weather and Light i. If at any time the umpires together agree that the conditions of ground, weather

and light are so bad that there is obvious and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire, so that it would be unreasonable or dangerous for play to take place, then they shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to commence or restart. The decision as to whether conditions are so bad as to warrant such action is one for the umpires alone to make.

ii. If no Umpires are present then the Captains shall agree on any decision to start or continue play.

iii. The fact that the grass and ball are wet and slippery does not warrant the ground conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous. If the umpires consider the ground is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowler a reasonable foothold, the fielders the power of free movement, or the batsmen of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be unreasonable for play to take place.

Note: In order to facilitate play at the earliest possible moment after rain, the Umpires shall see that all necessary steps are taken to improve the playing area, including the pitch, by instructing the host home club to use every practicable means to remove water from the pitch itself and any other water surrounding the pitch or elsewhere on the playing area.

Mats or blankets may remain on the ground whilst play is in progress.20. BALLS a.) Each team shall provide its own cricket balls when fielding. The Premier grade shall play with the following: i. In the two day competition, a new good quality Kookaburra, 4 piece red balls ii. In the limited overs competition, a new Kookaburra 4 piece white ball iii. In the twenty20 competition, a new Kookaburra 4 piece white ball c.) All other grades shall use 2 piece or 4 piece red Kookaburra ball of good quality. i. For all Premier and Senior grade games a new ball, of the type as set out in clause

20 (a) above, shall be supplied for the 1st innings of either side. The fielding captain may use a new ball in the second innings, provided it is taken at the commencement of the innings.

ii. In all other grades the use of a new ball at the commencement of an innings shall be optional, however if an innings is started with a used ball, this ball must be used throughout the innings.

iii. A new ball may be taken after 80 overs in an innings.

to be eligible to win a final. If players in the winning team do not comply, then the Grade trophy will not be awarded to that team and the team will not be recognised as winning the Grade. In this event, the Grade trophy will not be awarded to the second placed team. Finals played with a white ball will require teams to wear coloured clothing and coloured pads.

22. NOTIFICATION OF TEAMS a.) Before the toss the captains shall exchange team lists, also give a copy to the umpires,

if present. b.) Should any captain or his/her deputy refuse to exchange team lists, play shall not

TWenTy20 rules 26.1 The Result In a match where each team has the opportunity to play the same number of overs; the

result is decided by highest number of runs scored or in the case of a tie – an eliminator over.

If an unequal number of overs is played the team with the highest scoring rate per over shall be declared the winner. If the team batting first was dismissed in less than the maximum permissible overs, their scoring rate shall be calculated by dividing the runs

51

scored by the maximum number of overs permissible, NOT the number of overs actually received.

26.2 Duration One innings per side, each innings limited to a maximum of 20 overs. A minimum of

5 overs per team shall constitute a match. 26.3 Interval The interval will normally be of 15 minutes duration. In reduced overs matches, the

interval will be cut to 10 minutes. There are no drinks breaks. 26.4 No Ball Any kind of No Ball will incur a penalty of 1 run. 26.5 The Free Hit Should a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, it will incur the

penalty of 1 run and his next delivery is designated a free-hit. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (ie any kind of no ball or wide), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing.

The batsman facing a free hit delivery can only be dismissed through a run out, for hitting the ball twice, obstructing the field or handling the ball, as is the case for the original “no ball”. If the same batsman is facing then fielders must remain in same position. If batsmen change ends, the field can be changed.

This “free hit” rule only applies when there is an appointed umpire standing at the bowlers end.

26.6 Wasting Time Appointed Umpires may award 5-run penalty runs to either team at their discretion if they

believe either team is wasting time. Umpires are instructed to apply a strict interpretation of time-wasting by the batsman (five-run penalties). For example, batsmen are expected to be ready for the start of a new over as soon as the bowler is ready.

26.7 Slow Over Rate Fielding teams must complete their allotted 20 overs within 75 minutes. If the fielding

team do not start to bowl their 20th over within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark; the umpire may add more time to this, if he considers the batting team is wasting time.

26.8 Bowling Restrictions Bowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings. In a delayed or interrupted

match, no bowler may bowl more than one fifth of the total overs allowed unless such a number has been exceeded before the interruption.

26.9 Fielding Restrictions LEG SIDE No more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side and a maximum of 2 behind square leg at

any time. OUTER CIRCLE During the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the outer circle. After the

first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the outer circle. 26.10 Batsman Timed Out The incoming batsman must be in position to take guard or for his partner to be ready to

receive the next ball (or for his partner to receive the next ball) within one minute 30 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket.

52

26.11 Short Pitched Bowling one short-pitched ball is allowed per over. (Premier Only) 26.12 Eliminator Tie-Breaker If the match ends with the scores tied and there must be a winner, the tie is broken with a

one over per side eliminator. If weather and light conditions permit, this shall commence within 5 minutes of the conclusion of the match or rescheduled by the umpires. Prior to the commencement of the eliminator, each team selects 3 batsman and 1 bowler. The umpires shall choose which end to bowl and both teams will bowl from the same end. The same fielding restrictions will apply as for the last over of a normal T20 match. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the one over eliminator. The same ball as that used at the end of the teams innings will be used for the extra over. The loss of 2 wickets in the over ends the teams one over innings. In the event of a “tie” at the end of the eliminator, the team that has hit the most number of boundaries (fours & sixes) combined from its two innings (main match + eliminator) shall be the winner. If this is the same for both teams, the team that hit the most number of boundaries in the main match only, will be declared the winner. Alternative Tie-Breaker (eg midweek twilight matches) If, in the umpires opinion, fading light prevents the “eliminator” being completed safely; the “bowl-out” tie-breaker option may be employed as follows: Five bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an unguarded set of wickets. If the number of broken wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death

26.13 Reduction of Overs Teams have one hour 15 minutes to bowl 20 overs. In the first innings, the calculation

of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based on one over for every full 3.75 minutes in the total time available for play up to the scheduled close of play. In the second innings of the match, overs shall be reduced at a rate of one over for every full 3.75 minutes lost, unless the first innings finished early / second innings started early in which case no overs are lost until the time that has been gained is subsequently lost.

All other one day rules apply.

team shall be reduced on one over for every eight minutes. (i.e. if 85 minutes is lost the number of overs is reduced by 5 overs for each side). If less than 20 overs are possible for each team the match shall be declared “Rained Out”. Remaining overs should be calculated back from 6:30pm for Premier Grade, all other grades shall have 30 minutes grace before any reduction of overs is necessary.

(d) If the number of overs is reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second a minimum of 5 bowlers must still be used. The maximum number of overs per bowler will be reduced to give the most even distribution possible for 5 bowlers. (i.e. a 50 over match reduced by rain to 25 overs after 12 overs bowled in the first innings, 6 overs each by 2 bowlers, 13 overs remain and a minimum of 3 more bowlers must be used, 1 with a maximum of 5 overs and 2 with a maximum of 4 overs. The team bowling second would then be allowed the same distribution of overs, 2 bowlers with a maximum of 6 overs, 1 with a maximum of 5 overs and 2 with a maximum of 4 overs).

(e) For all purpose of finding a winner for rain interrupted games the Duckworth Lewis formula will be used for calculations, it is up to the the home team to have the app downloaded on to a smart phone if CricHQ scoring is not being used.

29. Wides – See Appendix 2 for Wide Markings Diagram (a) Any offside delivery that passes outside of the offside line, without making contact with

the strikers bat or body, then that ball is to be called a ‘wide ball’, irrespective of the speed of the ball bowled.

(b) Any legside delivery that passes behind the batsman and outside the leg stump. (c) A penalty of one run shall be awarded on the call of wide ball. Unless the call is revoked,

this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed, and shall be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance and any other penalties awarded.

(d) All runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary allowance, together with the penalty for wide, shall be scored as wide balls. Apart from any award of a 5 run penalty, all runs resulting from a wide ball shall be debited against the bowler.
