Should the umpires decide that the covers be used during the course of the match, then it will be the responsibility of both competing teams as directed by the Umpires to place and remove the covers.

28b. Any complaint regarding the use of covers shall be investigated by the Management Committee, which shall take whatever action if feels fit in the circumstances, and may include the deduction of a maximum of two points from the offending team.

Artificial Pitches:29. The Cricket Operations Committee reserves the right to use

artificial pitches in a manner they see fit. The following guidelines shall be used:

i. They are to be used if necessary at the start of the season to get cricket under way at the most senior levels first (only if it means that a whole round could be played).

ii. During the season if cricket has to be cancelled but play would be possible on artificial surfaces, they shall be used first at senior level.

iii. Artificials will be regularly used in lower grades as deemed necessary by Cricket Operations Committee.

30. For all matches scheduled on artificial pitches, the bowling team are to have access to the wicket 15 minutes before the commencement of each innings for the purpose of warm-ups.

31. The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched BallsLaw 42.6(a) (i) shall apply with the following:(a) A bowler shall be limited to two fast short-pitched deliveries

per over. A fast short-pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the Batsman standing upright at the crease, but not clearly above the batsman’s head.

27

(b) For the purpose of this regulation, a ball that passes above head height of the batsman that prevents him from being able to hit it with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be a wide as defined in Law 42.6(a)(ii). For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing condition shall count as one of the allowable short pitched deliveries in that over.

(c) In the event of a bowler exceeding the allowable number of deliveries in an over, the umpire shall call and signal “No Ball” on each occasion.

(d) A differential signal shall be used to signify a fast short-pitched delivery. The umpire shall call and signal “No Ball” and then tap the head with the other hand.

32. Law 42.6 (a) (ii) shall be replaced by the following:The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if the umpire at the Bowler’s end considers that by their repetition and taking into account their length, height and direction, they are likely to inflict physical injury on the Striker, irrespective of the protective clothing and equipment he maybe wearing The relative skill of the Striker shall also be taken into consideration.In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the Bowler’s end shall adopt the following procedure:(a) In the first instance the umpire shall call and signal “No

Ball”, caution the Bowler and inform the other umpire, the Captain of the fielding side and the Batsmen of what has occurred.

(b) If this caution is ineffective, he shall repeat the above procedure and indicate to the Bowler that this is a final warning.

(c) Both the above caution and final warning shall continue to apply even though the Bowler may later change ends.

(d) Should the above warnings prove ineffective the umpire at the Bowler’s end shall:(i) At the first repetition call and signal “No Ball” and when

the ball is dead direct the Captain to take the Bowler off forthwith and to complete the over with another Bowler, provided that the Bowler does not bowl two overs or part thereof consecutively. See Law 22.8. (Bowler Incapacitated or Suspended during an over).

(ii) Not allow the Bowler, thus taken off to bowl again in the same innings.

(iii) Report the occurrence to the Captain of the batting side as soon as the Players leave the field for an interval.

28

(iv) Report the occurrence to the Executive of the fielding side and to any Governing Body responsible for the match who shall take any further action which is considered to be appropriate against the Bowler concerned.

33. RunnersLaw 2.1(a) (ii), 2.7 and 2.8 shall not apply. A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted

34. Obstructing the FieldLaw 37 shall apply. For the avoidance of doubt, if an umpire feels that a batsman, in running between the wickets, has significantly changed his direction without probable cause and thereby obstructed a fielder’s attempt to effect a run out, the batsman should, on appeal, be given out, obstructing the field. It shall not be relevant whether a run out would have occurred or not. If the change of direction involves the batsman crossing the pitch, Law 42.14 shall also apply. See clause 48.

35. Special Teams:The Management Committee shall have the power to form Special Teams and to direct in which grade they shall play.

5 The Result(a) A result can be achieved only if both teams have had the opportunity of batting for at least 20 overs unless one team has been all out in less than 20 overs or unless the team batting second scores enough runs to win in less than 20 overs.(b) All other matches in which one or both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared ‘No result’ matches.(c) In a match in which both teams have had the opportunity of batting for the agreed number of overs (i.e. 50 overs each in an uninterrupted match, or a lesser number of overs in an interrupted match), the team scoring the higher number of runs shall be the winner.(d) If the scores are equal, the result shall be a tie and no account shall be taken of the number of wickets which have fallen.

31

(e) If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum 20 overs unless the provisions of 5(a) applies), then a revised target score (to win) will be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing - this revised target being calculated by the Duckworth/Lewis method. (On CricHQ.com Scoring system and it DWL Calculator) (f) If a match is abandoned before it has been played to a conclusion and after the team batting second has received the minimum of 20 overs required to constitute a match (unless the provisions of Clause 5(a) applies), then the result shall be decided by the Duckworth/Lewis method.

Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned. See page: 65 for Table

8 Field restrictions8.1 At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side

8.2 In addition to the restriction contained in clause 8.1 above, further fielding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The nature of such restrictions and the overs during which they shall apply are set out in the following paragraphs.

8.3 The following fielding restrictions shall apply:

Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semi-circles shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 30 yards (27.43 metres). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the field. The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or ‘dots’ at 5 yard (4.57 metres) intervals, each ‘dot’ to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter.

At the instant of delivery:

a) Powerplay 1 - no more than two (2) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 1 to 10 inclusive.

33

b) Powerplay 2 - no more than four (4) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 11 to 40 inclusive

8.5 If play is interrupted during an innings and the table in 8.4 applies, the Powerplay take immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over.

Illustrations of 8.5

A 50 over inning is interrupted after 8.3 overs and reduced to 32 overs. The new phases are 7+19+6. Therefore the middle phase fielding restrictions take immediate effect when play resumes and last for a further 17.3 overs. The final phase begins after 26 overs have been bowled.

A 40 over innings is interrupted after 18.5 overs and reduced to 22 overs. The new phases are 5+13+4. When play resumes, the final phase fielding restrictions apply for the remaining 3.1 overs.

8.6 At the commencement of the middle and final phases of an innings, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle.

8.7 The scoreboard shall indicate the current Powerplay in progress.

35

8.8 In the event of an infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the square leg umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’.

9 Wide bowling(1) Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.(2) Any off-side or leg-side delivery which in the opinion of the Umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a Wide. As a guide on the leg side, a ball landing clearly outside the leg stump going further away shall be called a wide. As a guide on the offside, a ball passing outside a line drawn between the bowling and popping creases, measured 432 mm (17 inches) from the Return crease shall be called wide. The above provisions do not apply if the striker makes contact with the ball.(3) A penalty of one run shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. All runs which are run or result from a Wide ball which is not a No-ball shall be scored as Wides.Guidelines and ApplicationUmpires need to ensure a balance the between the application of the Law and the Playing Condition.

a) Leg sideAll deliveries directed and bowled down the leg side (behind the body of the striker, standing in his normal batting stance) will be interpreted as a form of negative bowling and should be called “wide”.For the sake of clarity, a ball that passes down the leg side, but in between the striker and the leg stump, shall not be deemed a “wide” for the purposes of this Playing Condition as there has been a reasonable opportunity for the batsman to score.The only exception to this directive is for a ball that just misses the leg stump. This is not deemed negative bowling and should not be called “wide” when the batsman moves across to the off stump from his original stance.

36

Had the batsman not moved onto the off stump but remained in his normal batting stance the ball would have struck him, thereby negating any wide call.b) OffsideApplying the Playing Condition clause 9.2 above in conjunction with Law 25, any delivery that passes outside the wide guideline, with the batsman in a “normal” batting stance, should be called “wide”.For clarity:

i. If the batsman brings the ball sufficiently within reach and the ball passes outside the wide “guideline” then it is not a “wide”. For example, a batsman moving to the off side as the bowler bowls, could bring the ball within his reach even though the ball passes outside the “wide” guideline, and if he fails to make contact with the ball, the delivery will not be called a wide.ii. In extreme cases where the bowler delivers a ball and it passes wide of the return crease, then regardless of what movement the striker makes and even if he brings the ball within reach, if he makes no contact with the ball, then this delivery shall be called “wide”.iii. When a right arm bowler is bowling around the wicket to a right hand batsman, or left arm bowler bowling around the wicket to a LH batsman and bowls full yorkers on the off side marked “guideline”; this is deemed a negative tactic, and the delivery should be called “wide”.

c) Wide interpretation for the reverse sweep or switch hitThe interpretation to be followed for calling a wide when a switch hit or reverse sweep is played or the batsman gets in a position to play the shot and then aborts it, is as follows.

i. By the batsman playing the switch hit or the reverse sweep or getting in a position to play the shot, he is deemed to bring the ball sufficiently within his reach, on the leg side as well.

ii. Consequently, in these circumstances, the wider 75cm wide guidelines (ODIs and T20Is) shall apply on both sides of the stumps.

iii. Simply, when the batsman plays or aborts playing a reverse sweep or a switch hit, these shots negate the leg stump wide interpretation

d) Over head WideIn conjunction with NZC Playing Condition 18.1 (d) (Law 42.6) any ball that passes above head height of the batsman standing upright, that prevents it being hit with the bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called wide.

37

10 No-ball A bowler shall be allowed to bowl TWO short pitched deliveries per over.A short-pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease.In the event of the bowler bowling more than two fast short pitched delivery in an over, the umpire shall call & signal No-ball and invoke the procedures of cautioning as described in Law 42.7(a), (b) and (c).The above regulation is not a substitute for Law 42.6 which umpires may apply at any time.For each No-ball bowled a ‘Free Hit’ will apply to the delivery following this No-ball.Field changes are not permitted for the ‘Free Hit’ delivery unless there is a change of striker.However if the No-ball was called for having too many fielders outside the circle, the field can be changed for the Free Hit even if there is no change in striker, but only to extent of correcting the breach.A batsman cannot be dismissed off a ‘Free Hit’ other than under the circumstances of a No-ball delivery.If the delivery for a ‘Free Hit’ is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of No-ball or Wide ball) then the next delivery will become a ‘Free Hit’ for whichever batsman is facing it.The Bowler’s end Umpire will signal a ‘Free Hit’ by extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

11 Mode of deliveryNo bowler may deliver the ball underarm.

12 Time wastingUmpires should fully take into account in limited over matches any deliberate slowing down of the tempo by either batsmen or fieldsmen where it may be seen to be to the disadvantage of an opposition team, e.g. in the case of a team fielding second slowing down the game knowing it might win a shortened match on run rate, or in the case of a team batting first slowing down the game to reduce the number of overs available to the team batting second.

13 LightNormally, play will continue regardless of the state of light, but umpires are empowered to enforce Law 3.9 (d) if they deem it necessary.

7 Number of overs per bowlerNo bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in an innings. In a delayed or interrupted match where the overs are reduced for both teams or for the team bowling second, no bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total overs allowed.Where the total overs are not divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed to the maximum number per bowler necessary to make up the balance.In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be bowled by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned. See page: 65 for Table

8 Field restrictionsAt the moment of delivery there shall be no more than five fielders on the onside.

9 Wide bowling(1) Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.(2) Any off-side or leg-side delivery which in the opinion of the Umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a Wide. As a guide on the leg side, a ball landing clearly outside the leg stump going further away shall be called a wide. As a guide on the offside, a ball passing outside a line drawn between the bowling and popping creases, measured 432 mm (17 inches) from the Return crease shall be called wide. The above provisions do not apply if the striker makes contact with the ball.

45

(3) A penalty of one run shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. All runs which are run or result from a Wide ball which is not a No-ball shall be scored as Wides.Guidelines and ApplicationUmpires need to ensure a balance the between the application of the Law and the Playing Condition.

a) Leg sideAll deliveries directed and bowled down the leg side (behind the body of the striker, standing in his normal batting stance) will be interpreted as a form of negative bowling and should be called “wide”.For the sake of clarity, a ball that passes down the leg side, but in between the striker and the leg stump, shall not be deemed a “wide” for the purposes of this Playing Condition as there has been a reasonable opportunity for the batsman to score.The only exception to this directive is for a ball that just misses the leg stump. This is not deemed negative bowling and should not be called “wide” when the batsman moves across to the off stump from his original stance.Had the batsman not moved onto the off stump but remained in his normal batting stance the ball would have struck him, thereby negating any wide call.b) OffsideApplying the Playing Condition clause 9.2 above in conjunction with Law 25, any delivery that passes outside the wide guideline, with the batsman in a “normal” batting stance, should be called “wide”.For clarity:

i. If the batsman brings the ball sufficiently within reach and the ball passes outside the wide “guideline” then it is not a “wide”. For example, a batsman moving to the off side as the bowler bowls, could bring the ball within his reach even though the ball passes outside the “wide” guideline, and if he fails to make contact with the ball, the delivery will not be called a wide.ii. In extreme cases where the bowler delivers a ball and it passes wide of the return crease, then regardless of what movement the striker makes and even if he brings the ball within reach, if he makes no contact with the ball, then this delivery shall be called “wide”.iii. When a right arm bowler is bowling around the wicket to a right hand batsman , or left arm bowler bowling around the wicket to a LH batsman and bowls full yorkers

46

on the off side marked “guideline”; this is deemed a negative tactic, and the delivery should be called “wide”.

c) Wide interpretation for the reverse sweep or switch hitThe interpretation to be followed for calling a wide when a switch hit or reverse sweep is played or the batsman gets in a position to play the shot and then aborts it, is as follows.

i. By the batsman playing the switch hit or the reverse sweep or getting in a position to play the shot, he is deemed to bring the ball sufficiently within his reach, on the leg side as well.

ii. Consequently, in these circumstances, the wider 75cm wide guidelines (ODIs and T20Is) shall apply on both sides of the stumps.

iii. Simply, when the batsman plays or aborts playing a reverse sweep or a switch hit, these shots negate the leg stump wide interpretation

d) Over head WideIn conjunction with NZC Playing Condition 18.1 (d) (Law 42.6) any ball that passes above head height of the batsman standing upright, that prevents it being hit with the bat by means of a normal cricket stroke shall be called wide..

10 No-ball A bowler shall be allowed to bowl TWO short pitched deliveries per over.A short-pitched ball is defined as a ball which passes or would have passed above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease.In the event of the bowler bowling more than two fast short pitched delivery in an over, the umpire shall call & signal No-ball and invoke the procedures of cautioning as described in Law 42.7(a), (b) and (c).The above regulation is not a substitute for Law 42.6 which umpires may apply at any time.For each No-ball bowled a ‘Free Hit’ will apply to the delivery following this No-ball.Field changes are not permitted for the ‘Free Hit’ delivery unless there is a change of striker.However if the No-ball was called for having too many fielders outside the circle, the field can be changed for the Free Hit even if there is no change in striker, but only to extent of correcting the breach.

47

A batsman cannot be dismissed off a ‘Free Hit’ other than under the circumstances of a No-ball delivery.If the delivery for a ‘Free Hit’ is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of No-ball or Wide ball) then the next delivery will become a ‘Free Hit’ for whichever batsman is facing it.The Bowler’s end Umpire will signal a ‘Free Hit’ by extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.


12 Time wastingUmpires should fully take into account in limited over matches any deliberate slowing down of the tempo by either batsmen or fieldsmen where it may be seen to be to the disadvantage of an opposition team, e.g. in the case of a team fielding second slowing down the game knowing it might win a shortened match on run rate, or in the case of a team batting first slowing down the game to reduce the number of overs available to the team batting second.


14 The ballKookaburra Senator or Renown (RED) ball, as approved by DCA will be used in all matches. Each fielding team shall have one new ball for its innings.

15 Coloured clothingTeams are able to will wear coloured clothing.

16 ScoreboardProvision will be made for the scoreboard to show runs, wickets and the total number of overs bowled.

18 DeclarationsThe Captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time during the course of the match.

19 Nomination of PlayersFor Secondary School Teams completing in the ‘combined competition’ they may be composed of twelve players

a) Prior to the toss the school team(s) captain must provide the opposing captain and the umpires a list of their batting XI and their Fielding XI. The Player left out of the Fielding XI will act as 12th man for the fielding portions of the match. (ie the player may bat in the Batting XI but not bowl)

b) The 12th man may be rotated on and off the field acting as substitute fielder bearing in mind the rules of cricket in terms of eligibility to bowl and bat in relationship to a player’s time off the field will still apply.

c) No player (batsman) can only bat in the match and not take part in the field

d) The Wicket-Keeper cannot be designated as the non-bowler, as effectively doing so would nominate him as 12th man, and the Laws of Cricket do not allow substitutes to act as wicket-keeper.

Note: Rule 1.1.3 includes:1.1.3.1 loud or repetitious swearing; and1.1.3.2 obscene gestures or conduct which is/are not

directed at another person, such as swearing at one’s own poor play or fortune. This offence is not intended to penalise behaviour which may be regarded as trivial.

1.1.3.3 be regarded by others on the field of play or outside the playing area as obscene;

1.1.3.4 give offence to others in the field of play or outside the playing area; or

1.1.3.5 insult another person.

Note: Without limitation, players and Team Officials will breach Rule 1.1.6 if they publicly criticise the Match officials or denigrate a player or team against which they have played in relation to incidents which occurred in a Match. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the context within which the comments are made and the gravity of the offending comments must be taken into account.

1.1.7 Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct that either:

1.1.7.1 is contrary to the spirit of the game; or1.1.7.2 brings the game into disrepute.

the interests of the game.

66


1.2.1 Showing serious dissent at an Umpire’s decision during a Match.

Note: Dissent, including the examples given in Rule 1.1.3 above will be classified as “serious” when the conduct contains an element of anger, abuse or challenge which is directed at the Umpire or the Umpire’s decision or where there is excessive delay in resuming play or leaving the wicket showing such dissent or where there is persistent re-reference to the incident over time.It shall not be a defence to any charge brought under this Rule to show that the Umpire might have, or in fact did, get any decision wrong.

1.2.2 Inappropriate and deliberate physical contact between players in the course of play during a Match.

Note: Without limitation, players will breach this regulation if they deliberately walk or run into or shoulder another player.

1.2.3 Charging or advancing towards, or challenging, the Umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing during a Match.

1.2.4 Deliberate obstruction on the field of play.

1.2.5 Throwing a ball (or any other item of cricket equipment such as a water bottle) at or near a player, Team Official, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person in an inappropriate and/or dangerous manner during a Match.

1.2.6 Using language or gesture(s) that is seriously obscene, seriously offensive or of a seriously insulting nature to another player, Team Official, Umpire, Match Referee or any other third person during a Match.

Note: There will be verbal exchanges between players in the course of play. Rather than seeking to eliminate these exchanges entirely, Umpires will be required to report such conduct that falls below an acceptable standard so as to become more than minor.

67

When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the Umpire shall be required to take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to:

1.2.6.1 be regarded as seriously obscene; or1.2.6.2 give serious offence; or1.2.6.3 seriously insult another person.

This offence is not intended to cover any use of language or gestures that are likely to offend another person on the basis of their race, religion, gender, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin. Such conduct is prohibited under Rule 1.4.5 of this Code and must be dealt with according to the procedures set out therein.

1.2.7 Changing the condition of the ball in breach of Law 42.3 of the Laws of Cricket.

Any action(s) likely to alter the condition of the ball which are not specifically permitted under Law 42.3(a) may be regarded as “unfair”. The following actions shall not be permitted (this list of actions is not exhaustive but included for illustrative purposes):

1.2.7.1 deliberately throwing the ball into the ground for the purpose of roughening it up;

1.2.7.2 applying any artificial substance to the ball; and applying any non-artificial substance for any purpose other than to polish the ball;

1.2.7.3 lifting or otherwise interfering with any of the seams of the ball;

1.2.7.4 scratching the surface of the ball with finger or thumb nails or any implement;

1.2.7.5 attempting to alter the shape of the ball.

The Umpires shall use their judgment to apply the principle that actions taken to maintain or enhance the condition of the ball, provided no artificial substances are used, are permitted. Any actions otherwise taken with the purpose of changing the condition of the ball shall not be permitted.



68

Note: Rule 1.2.8 is intended to be a “catch-all” provision to cover all types of conduct of a serious nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specific offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct.

See guidance notes to Rule 1.1.7 for examples of conduct that may (depending upon the seriousness and context of the breach) be prohibited under Rule 1.2.8.


1.3.1 Intimidation of an Umpire whether by language or conduct (including gestures) during a Match.

Note: Includes appealing in an aggressive or threatening manner, which has or may have the effect of influencing the umpire in his role.

1.3.2 Threat of assault on another player, Team Official, or any other person (including a spectator) during a Match.



Note: Rule 1.3.3 is intended to be a “catch-all” provision to cover all types of conduct of a very serious nature that is not (and, because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specific offences set out elsewhere in the Code of Conduct.
