THE LAWS OF CRICKET THE PREAMBLE - THE SPIRIT OF CRICKET Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it should be played not only within its Laws but also with in the Spirit of the Game. Any action which is seen to abuse this spirit causes injury to the game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests with the captains. 1. There are two Laws which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct firmly on the captains. i. ii.
Responsibility of Captains: The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws. Player’s Conduct: In the event of a player failing to comply with instructions by an umpire, or criticizing by word or action the decisions of an umpire, or showing dissent, or generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute, the umpire concerned shall in the first place report the matter to the other umpire and to the player’s captain, and instruct the latter to take action.
2. Fair and Unfair Play: According to the Laws the Umpires are the sole judges of fair and unfair play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the captain to take action where required. 3. The Umpires are authorised to Intervene in cases of : - Time wasting. - Damaging the pitch. - Dangerous or unfair bowling. - Tampering with the ball. - Any other action that they consider to be unfair. 4. The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for : - Your opponents. - Your own captain and team. - Union officials. - The role of the Umpires. - The game’s traditional values. 5. It Is against the Spirit of the Game : - To dispute an umpire’s decision by word, action or gesture.
36
- To direct abusive language towards an opponent, umpire or an official of the Union. - To indulge in cheating or any sharp practice, for instance: a) To appeal knowing that the batsman is not out. b) To advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing. c) To seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and motivation of one’s own side. 6. Violence: There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play. 7. Players: Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a cricket match. Every player is expected to make an important contribution to this. Note: “Laws of Cricket “(2000 Code 4th Edition – 2010) This book can be purchased from Sahara Stadium, Kingsmead.

PLAYING CONDITIONS Except as varied here under the Laws of Cricket (2000 Code 4th Edition - 2010) shall apply.
Premier and Challenge leagues to play two rounds of 50 overs. A minimum of 20 overs constitute a match. Match is completed once the team batting second passes the first team's score. No penalty will apply if the team bowling their overs at a rate less than 15 overs per hour if the batting side is all out. Limited over competition - run rate would determine results. Late start to constitute a minimum of 20 overs for each team shall commence at 13h45. 1. THE PLAYERS Each captain shall provide a list of the names of the 11 players in writing to the Umpires before the toss. No player may be changed after the nomination without the consent of the opposing captain. 2. SUBSTITUTES AND RUNNERS Substitutes and Runners A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted. The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a nominated player, at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time.
50
Fielder absent or leaving the field 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 session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes: 2.1.
the player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after his return until he has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent.
2..2
the player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until, in the aggregate, he has returned to the field and/or his side’s innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which he has been absent or, if earlier, when his side has lost five wickets. The restriction shall not apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness). In the event of a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall automatically be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time. Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. ‘Wholly acceptable reasons’ should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a ‘comfort break’.
3. THE BALL A four piece ball must be used in all Premier and Challenge league fixtures. Teams must play with balls supplied by KZNCU Each club to carry at least two used balls. This would alleviate time loss when ball is lost. The captain of the fielding side SHALL NOT be permitted to take a new ball during the innings. If the ball is to be replaced, the umpires shall inform the batsman and the fielding captain. Either batsmen or bowler may raise the matter with the umpire and the umpires decision as to a replacement or otherwise will be final. The umpires shall retain possession of the match ball throughout the duration of the match when play is not actually taking place. 51

4.
During play the umpires shall periodically and regularly inspect the condition of the ball and shall retain possession of it at the fall of a wicket, a drinks interval, or any other disruption in play.
Ball lost or becoming unfit for play Law 5.5 shall be replaced by the following: In the event of a ball during play being lost or in the opinion of the umpires, being unfit for play through normal use, the umpires shall allow it to be replaced by one that in their opinion has had a similar amount of wear. In the event of the ball becoming wet and soggy as a result of play continuing in inclement weather or in the opinion of the umpires being unfit for play, the ball may be replaced for a ball that has similar amount of wear, even though it has not gone out of shape. If the ball is to be replaced, the umpire shall inform the batsman.
5. THE PITCH If, in the opinion of the umpires, a pitch is considered too dangerous for play or unfit to continue, they shall stop play immediately. All covers (including 'hessian' or 'scrimp' covers used to protect the pitch against the sun) shall be removed not later than two and half hours before the scheduled start of play provided it is not raining at the time, but the pitch will be covered again if rain falls prior to the commencement of play. 6. INNINGS All matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 50 overs. Length of Innings 6.1. Uninterrupted Matches (a) (b)
(c) (d) (e)
Each team shall bat for 50 overs unless all out earlier. If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the first innings, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled. The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 20 minutes. The team batting second shall receive its full quota of 50 overs irrespective of the number of overs it bowled in the scheduled time for the cessation of the first innings. If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 50 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for 50 overs. If the team fielding second fails to bowl 50 overs by the scheduled cessation time, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of overs has been bowled or a result is achieved. In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that's required, the umpires shall inform the Union who will impose the penalty. The penalty for slow over rate is R150-00 per over.

6.2.
Delayed or Interrupted Matches (a)
Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting First If up to 30 minutes of playing time is lost then the intervals will be reduced by playing time lost. (i) Thereafter when playing time has been lost the revised number of overs to be bowled in the match shall be based on a rate of 15 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of the drinks interval, in the total remaining time available for play. (ii) The revision of the number of overs should ensure, whenever possible, that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to a result not being achieved earlier. (iii)
A fixed time will be specified for the commencement of the interval, and also the close of play for the match, by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. When calculating the length of playing time available for the match, or the length of either innings, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours, interruptions in play, and intervals, excluding those for drinks, will be taken into consideration. This calculation must not cause the match to finish earlier than the original time for cessation of play on the final scheduled day for play. If required the original time shall be extended to allow for one extra over for each team.
(iv) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the revised number of overs by the specified time, play shall continue until the required number of overs have been bowled or the innings is completed. The interval shall be reduced to enable the second innings to commence at the rescheduled time, subject to there being a minimum interval of 20 minutes. (v) In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that's required, the umpires shall inform the Union who will impose the penalty. The penalty for slow over rate is R150-00 per over. (b)
Delay or Interruption to the innings of the Team Batting Second (i)
When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible for the team batting second to have the opportunity of receiving its allocated, or revised allocation of overs in the playing time available, the number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 15 overs per hour, which is exclusive of the provision of drinks intervals, in respect of the lost playing time. Should the calculations result in a fraction of an over the fraction shall be ignored. 53
(ii) In addition, should the innings of the team batting first have been completed prior to the scheduled, or re-scheduled time for the commencement of the interval, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs shall not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed. (iii) To constitute a match, a minimum of 20 overs have to be bowled to the team batting second subject to a result not being achieved earlier. (iv) The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs. (v) A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate of 15 overs per hour. With the exception of drinks intervals, the timing and duration of all relative delays, extensions in playing hours and interruptions in play, will be taken into consideration in specifying this time. (vi) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the scheduled or re-scheduled close of play, the hours of play shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved. (vii) In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that's required, the umpires shall inform the Union who will impose the penalty. The penalty for slow over rate is R150-00 per over. 6.3.

Number of Overs per Bowler No bowler shall bowl more than 10 overs in an innings. 54
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 allowed 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. 8. Minimum number of overs required to be bowled 8.1 The minimum number of overs to be bowled to be achieved by the fielding team shall be 15 overs per hour. 8..2 In calculating the minimum number of overs required to be bowled, the following time allowances shall be made:
8.3
(a)
the actual time taken where treatment is given to a player on the field of play;
(b)
the actual time taken for a player to leave the field of play in the event of a serious injury;
(c)
the actual time lost due to any other circumstances beyond the control of the players.
The minimum number of overs required to be bowled will be calculated at the end of the match by the umpires. If the overs is calculated as being under the minimum number of overs required to be bowled the hour, the following shall apply: (a)
As soon as reasonably practicable the umpires shall inform the team captain and / or team manager of the relevant fielding team that the regulations have been breached and that the prescribed sanction in accordance shall be applied.
(b)
If, the umpires are of the opinion that the minimum number of overs required was not achieved by the fielding team by reason of events beyond its control, including (but not limited to) time wasting by the batting team, the umpires shall be entitled to amend the over rate calculation as they deem appropriate.
(c)
In the event of the umpires being of the opinion that the conduct of the batting team has prevented the fielding team from bowling the minimum required number of overs, the umpires shall submit a report and appropriate sanction shall be applied.
55
8.4
Sanction No sanction may be imposed in respect of minimum over rates in the event of the batting team being bowled out, or when a result is achieved. In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that's required, the umpires shall inform the Union who will impose the penalty. The penalty for slow over rate is R150-00 per over.
9.
Changing agreed times for intervals - Interval between Innings 9.1. The innings of the team batting second shall not commence before the scheduled time for commencement of the second session unless the team batting first has completed its innings at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval, in which case a ten minute break will occur and the team batting second will commence its innings and the interval will occur as scheduled. 9.2.
If the innings of the team batting first is completed in less than 30 minutes prior to the scheduled interval, the interval shall take place immediately and the innings of the team batting second will commence correspondingly earlier.
10. Intervals for drinks Two drinks break of 5 minutes duration per session is permitted, except that under conditions of extreme heat the umpires may permit an extra interval for drinks. 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 playing time is wasted. No other drinks shall be taken onto the field without the permission of the umpires. Any player taking drinks onto the field shall be dressed in proper cricket attire. 11. HOURS OF PLAY: First Session: Second Session: Third Session: Fourth Session:

12. 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 matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of batting for a minimum of 20 overs, shall be declared no result. A Tie : 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. In the event of teams finishing on equal points in their sections, the winner will be determined in the following order of priority:  The team with the most number of wins;
56
The team which was the winner of the head to head match played between them will be placed in the higher position; If still equal, the team with the highest number of bonus points; If still equal, the team with the highest run rate; The team that have scored the most number of runs in its matches throughout the tournament and The team losing the lesser number of wickets throughout the tournament; Note: Where a team scratches, or has deemed to have scratched a league fixture, its opponents shall be awarded the average number of points as that obtained by the teams winning on the same day. 12.1.
Delayed or Interrupted Matches – calculation of the Target Score 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 of 20 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Run Rate method.
12.2.
Correctness of result Any query on the result of the match shall be resolved as soon as possible and a final decision made by the umpires at close of play.
12.3.
Points The points system is as follows: Win, with bonus point Win, without bonus point Tie/No Result/Washout Loss
5 4 2 0
12.4. Run Rate A team’s run rate is calculated by dividing the total runs by the number of overs bowled. In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of its run rate shall be based on the full quota of overs to which it would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed. Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of run rate calculation.
57
13
Bonus Points. If no result is achieved on the day, the match shall be declared a "No Result" match. The team that achieves a run rate of 1.25 times that of the opposition shall be awarded one bonus point. A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored in an innings divided by the number of overs faced. In line with National and International competitions the winning team can earn a maximum of 1(one) bonus point in a league match. The losing team cannot earn a bonus point. “In a full game a side batting second can gain a bonus point by reaching their target within 40 overs” or “the side bowling second can gain a bonus point by restricting the opposition to a score of less than 80% of the target and win the match”, e.g. Team batting first scores 240, team bowling second must restrict the opposition to 191 or less to qualify for the bonus point. (240 – 20% = 192) In reduced games the target/overs will be adjusted proportionally. Reduced Games 1 Bonus point for any team that achieves victory with a run rate 1.25 times that of the opposition. (Target x100/125)
14.
Mode of delivery Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following: The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled overarm. 14.1
Free Hit after a foot-fault no ball A no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever 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 next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker. The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.
14.2 .
WIDE BALL Law 25 shall apply with the following addition to Law 25.1:
58
Umpires are instructed to apply very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. Any offside 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. 15.
. 16.
17.
BATSMAN OUT OF HIS GROUND: If the running batsman has grounded any part of his foot behind the popping crease, then any subsequent loss of contact with the ground of his person or bat, during his continuing forward momentum, should not be interpreted as being ‘out of his ground’. OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD: Law 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. RESTRICTIONS ON THE PLACEMENT OF FIELDSMEN 17.1. At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side. 17.2. In addition further fielding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The following fielding restrictions shall apply: a) Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semicircle 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. During the first block of Powerplay Overs only two fieldsmen shall be permitted outside the fielding restriction area at the instant of delivery. During the second Powerplay blocks only three fieldsmen shall be permitted outside the fielding restriction area at the instant of delivery. b)
Two inner circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The circles shall have as their centres the centre point of the popping crease at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the circles shall be 15 yards (13.72 metres). These fielding restriction areas should be marked by ‘dots’. The segment of the circles reserved for the slip positions shall not be demarcated. During the first block of Powerplay Overs (in an uninterrupted innings, the first 10), there must be a minimum of two stationary fieldsmen 59
within the applicable fielding restriction area measured from the striker’s end at the instant of delivery. 17.3. 17.4.
During the non Powerplay Overs, no more than 4 fieldsmen shall be permitted outside the fielding restriction area. . Powerplay Overs for an uninterrupted match shall be 15 overs per innings to be taken as follows: (a) The first block of Powerplay Overs (block of 10 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be at the commencement of the innings. (b) The second block of Powerplay Overs (block of 5 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be taken at the discretion of the of the batsmen at the wicket. In an innings of scheduled duration between 41 and 50 overs, it may not be completed later than the 40th over. (No equivalent restriction apply to innings of shorter scheduled duration). (c) A batsman must nominate his team’s Powerplay no later than the moment at which the umpire reaches the stumps at the bowler’s end for the start of the next over. (d) Once a batsman has nominated a Powerplay, the decision cannot be reversed. (e) Should the batting side choose not to exercise their discretion, their Powerplay Overs will automatically commence at the latest available point in the innings (e.g. in a 50 over innings, this will begin at the start of the 36th over).
17.5.
In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Powerplay Overs shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match. Innings duration 20 – 21 22 – 24 25 – 28 29 – 31 32-34 35-38 39-41 42-44 45-48 49
17.6.
First Powerplay 4 5 5 6 7 7 8 9 9 10
Batting Powerplay 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 5 5
Powerplay Total 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at the start of an over.
60
17.6.1. If play is interrupted not during the Powerplay overs, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how any remaining Powerplay overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay overs for the innings is derived from the table above. Any Powerplay overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been from the initial allocation followed by the batting sides allocation. Illustrations: (a)
A match starts as 50 overs, is interrupted after 12 overs and reduced to 43 overs. (The first 10 overs have been Powerplays (PP); the next two were not.) The new PP allocation is 9+4, 3 overs of batting side selection left and be completed by the 40th over.
(b)
If play is interrupted during the first Power play and on resumption the overs required to be bowled in that Power play have already been exceeded, then the second Power play will be assumed to have been taken immediately and will continue as completed
(c)
If following an interruption, on resumption the total number of Power play overs for the innings has already been exceeded, then there will be no further Power play deliveries bowled in the innings.
17.7
At the commencement of each discretionary block of Powerplay Overs, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle.
17.8
In the event of an infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the square leg umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’. NOTE: When there is no demarcation of the restricted areas mentioned above, the Umpires’ shall be the sole judges of these imaginary areas.
18.

The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched Balls (a) A bowler shall be limited to two fast short-pitched delivery per over. (b) A fast 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. (c) The umpire at the bowlers end shall advise the bowler and the batsman on strike when each fast short pitched delivery has been bowled.
61
(d) In addition, 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 called a wide. (e) For the avoidance of doubt any fast short pitched delivery that is called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as one of the allowable short pitched deliveries in that over (f)
In the event of a bowler bowling more than one fast short-pitched deliveries in an over the umpire at the bowlers end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. 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.
(g) If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings. (h) If there is a second instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than two fast short pitched deliveries in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his final warning for the innings. (i)
Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that I innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.

(b) In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball (i.e. a beamer), the 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 full pitched ball the umpire at the bowler's end shall call and signal no ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall, in addition to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, caution the bowler and issue a first and final warning. The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. (c) Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall, in addition to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. If necessary, the over shall be completed by another bowler, who shall neither have bowled the previous over, or part thereof, nor be allowed to bowl the next over, or part thereof.

(Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play – Responsibility of the Captains.) Dangerous and Unfair Bowling – Action by the umpire Law 42.7 shall be replaced by the following:
18.3.1. The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s end he 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 may be wearing. The relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration. 18.3.2. In the event of such unfair bowling, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall adopt the following procedure:
63
(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.

If still equal, the team with the best run rate throughout the season. Matches shall consist of ONE innings per team of 20 Overs each. A minimum of 5 overs per team shall constitute a match. In the event of a match being delayed or interrupted RUN RATE would be used to determine the winner based on a maximum of 20 overs and a minimum of 5 overs. Each bowler shall be allowed a maximum of four (4) overs. In a delayed or interrupted match where the overs are reduced for both teams or the team batting second - no bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of the total overs allowed. Where the total is 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 tie – the “One Over Per Side Eliminator” procedure will apply. (Appendix) In the event of a match not being played (washed out or incomplete) the result would be a “no result match”. In the event of the final not being played then the trophy would be shared.

A minimum of 5 overs have to be bowled to the side batting second to constitute a match. The calculation of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based on an average rate of 15 overs per hour in the total time available to play. (One (1) over for every four (4) minutes) b. If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled cessation time, the hours of play shall be extended until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved.
c. d. 6.2.
In the event of the umpires having determined the over rate being below that's required, the umpires shall inform the Union who will impose the penalty. The penalty for slow over rate is R150-00 per over. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter has been all out in less than the agreed number of overs. Fractions are to be ignored in all calculations pertaining to the number of overs bowled - round up to the next whole number.
Delay or Interruption of the Innings to the Team Batting First If the number of overs of the team batting first is reduced, a fixed time will be specified for the completion of the first session, as calculated by applying the provision of Clause 6. 1.

Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting Second If there is a suspension in play during the second innings, the overs shall be reduced at a rate of one (1) overs for every full four (4) minutes of time lost, except where the innings of the team batting first ends prior to the scheduled time for the interval between inning s.
Two (2) semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. They have as their centre the middle stump on either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles is 30 yards (27.43m) The semi circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the field. These fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or dots. As a guide for “wide” deliveries 750mm markings on the bowling crease must be shown on either side of the stumps and at both ends.
FIELDING RESTRICTION 8.1. 8.2

During the non fielding restriction overs , no more than five (5) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside the fielding restriction area. In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Fielding Restriction Overs shall be reduced in accordance with the Table Below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1 s t and 2 n d innings of the match.

FIELDER ABSENT OR LEAVING THE FIELD The normal law concerning the above will apply - except that the law will take effect : “ if the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes”.
69
9.1. SUBSTITUTES AND RUNNERS Substitutes and Runners A runner for a batsman when batting is not permitted. The umpires shall have discretion to allow, for other wholly acceptable reasons, a substitute fielder to act for a nominated player at the start of the match, or at any subsequent time. Fielder absent or leaving the field 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 session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes: 9.1.1. the player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after his return until he
has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent.
9.1.2. the player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until, in the aggregate, he has returned to the field and/or his side’s innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which he has been absent or, if earlier, when his side has lost five wickets. The restriction shall not apply if the player has suffered an external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness). In the event of a fieldsman already being off the field at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, he shall be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time, provided that he personally informs the umpires when he is fit enough to take the field had play been in progress. Similarly, if at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player is on the field but still has some unexpired penalty time remaining from a previous absence, he shall automatically be allowed to count any such stoppage time as playing time. Substitute fielders shall only be permitted in cases of injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons. ‘Wholly acceptable reasons’ should be limited to extreme circumstances and should not include what is commonly referred to as a ‘comfort break’.

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.
(g)
If a bowler delivers a third fast short pitched ball in an over, the umpire, after the call of no ball and when the ball is dead, shall caution the bowler, inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred. This caution shall apply throughout the innings.
(h)
If there is a second instance of the bowler being no balled in the innings for bowling more than one fast short pitched delivery in an over, the umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his final warning for the innings.
(i)
Should there be any further instance by the same bowler in that I innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.

Bowling of High Full Pitched Balls Law 42.6 (b) shall be replaced by the following: (a)
Any delivery, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height or shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease is deemed unfair, whether or not is it likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.
(b)

In the event of a bowler bowling a high full pitched ball the umpire at the bowler’s end shall call and signal no ball. If, in the opinion of the umpire, such a delivery is considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman, the umpire at the bowler’s end shall, in addition to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, caution the bowler and issue a first and final warning. The umpire shall inform the other umpire, the captain of the fielding side and the batsmen at the wicket of what has occurred.
(c)
Should there be any further instance (where a high full pitched ball is bowled and is considered likely to inflict physical injury on the batsman) by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall, in addition to calling and signaling no ball, when the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.

10.3.
Dangerous and Unfair Bowling – Action by the umpire Law 42.7 shall be replaced by the following:
10.3.1.
The bowling of fast short pitched balls is unfair if in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s end he considers that by their 72
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 may be wearing. The relative skill of the striker shall also be taken into consideration. 10.3.2.
10.4.
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 there be any further instance by the same bowler in that innings, the umpire shall call and signal no ball and when the ball is dead direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith.

(e)
The bowler thus taken off shall not be able to bowl again in that innings.
(f)
The umpire will report the occurrence to the other umpire, the batsmen at the wicket and as soon as possible to the captain of the batting side.

10.4.1. 10.4.2.
Call and signal no ball. When the ball is dead, direct the captain to take the bowler off forthwith. 73
10.4.3.
Not allow the bowler to bowl again in that innings.
10.4.4.
Ensure that the over is completed by another bowler, provided that the bowler does not bowl two overs or part thereof consecutively.
10.4.5.
Report the occurrence to the other umpire, to the captain of the batting side and the Tournament Director who shall take such action as is considered appropriate against the captain and the bowler concerned. (Refer also to Law 42.1 Fair and Unfair Play – Responsibility of the Captains).
10.5.
Bowler attempting to run non-striker before delivery The bowler is permitted before releasing the ball and provided he has not completed his usual delivery swing, to attempt to run out the nonstriker.

If the bowler fails to attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball as soon as possible.
11.
MODE OF DELIVERY Law 24.1 (b) shall be replaced by the following: The bowler may not deliver the ball underarm. If a bowler bowls a ball underarm the umpire shall call and signal no ball, and the ball is to be re-bowled overarm. 11.1
Free Hit after a foot-fault no ball A no ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a free hit for whichever 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 next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker. The umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.
11.2. Wide Bowling - Judging a wide 11.2.1. 11.2.2.
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. Any offside delivery, which in the opinion of the Umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score, shall be called a wide. (Note: W ide Marking) 74
11.2.3. 12.
Any delivery pitched on leg stump and going further down leg shall be called “wide”.
THE BALL 12.1. Only balls supplied by KZNCU are to be used during the competition. 12.2. Each club to carry at least two used balls. This would alleviate time loss when the ball is lost. APPENDIX:
“One Over Eliminator Procedure”
PROCEDURE FOR THE ONE OVER PER SIDE ELIMANATOR The following procedure will apply should the provision for a Super Over per side eliminator be adopted in any match: 1.1.
Subject to weather conditions the Super Over will take place on the scheduled day of the match at a time to be determined by the Umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 5 minutes after the conclusion of the match. 1.2. The Super Over will take place on the same pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground authority. 1.3. The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match. 1.4. The umpires shall choose which end will be used for bowling and both teams will bowl from the same end. 1.5. Prior to the commencement of the Super Over each team elects three batsmen and one bowler. 1.6. The nominated players are given in writing to the Umpires, both teams required to submit their choice simultaneously. 1.7. Each team’s over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for the last over in a normal T20 match. 1.8. The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over. 1.9. The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape or lost) as used at the end of the team’s innings shall be used for the Super Over. 1.10. The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s Super Over innings. 1.11. The team that scores the most runs from the Super Over will be declared the winner. 1.12. In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, the team that hit the most number of boundary sixes combined from its two innings in both the main match and the Super Over shall be the winner. For clarity, a six scored which includes a boundary four overthrow will not count in this total. 1.13 If the number of boundary sixes hit by both teams is equal, the team that hit the most number of boundary fours combined from its two innings in both the main match and Super Over shall be the winner. For clarity, a four scored which includes a boundary four overthrow will not count in the total. 1.14 If the number of boundary fours hit by both teams is also equal, the winner will be decided by the toss of a coin.

THE BOWLER No bowler shall bowl more than seven (7) overs in an Innings. 77
In the case of "overs reduced" no bowler may bowl more than one-fifth of over allowed. NOTE. Law 42.6 - Dangerous and Unfair Bowling-The Bowling of Fast Short Pitched Balls. Law 42.6 (a) (ii) shall be replaced by the following. A bowler shall be limited to one (1) fast short pitched delivery per over. A fast short pitched ball is defined as a ball, which passes or would have passed above shoulder height of the batsman standing upright at the crease. In the event of a bowler bowling more than one (1) fast short pitched delivery in an over, either Umpire shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A different signal shall be used to signify a fast short delivery. The Umpire shall call and signal “no ball� and tap the head with the other hand. If a bowler is no balled a second time in the innings for the same offence, the Umpire shall advise the bowler that this is his final warning as provided for in law 42.7 (b). A third such offence in the same innings shall be removed forthwith and cannot bowl again in that innings. The above is not a substitute for law 42.6(a) (i) which Umpires are able to apply at anytime. 7.
WIDE BALL There shall be no other additional restrictions as regards wide ball other than those in the Laws of Cricket. In addition to the penalty run for bowling a wide ball, any other runs resulting shall be scored as wide runs. NO BALL Law 24.1 shall apply. No-Ball foot fault A free hit will be allowed In addition to the penalty run for bowling a no ball, any other runs resulting shall be scored as runs to the batsman if hit, or as extras, as the case may be. 8.
PLAY SUSPENDED DUE TO WEATHER OR LIGHT If due to weather or light, the starting time of a match is delayed, or suspended, the object shall always be to re-arrange the number of overs so that both teams have the opportunity to bat for an equal number of overs. The 78
calculation of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based on the rate of one (1) over for every 3.5 minutes or part thereof, in the time remaining before the close of play. A minimum of Fifteen (15) overs per team will be necessary for a result to be obtained unless a team is bowled out in fewer than fifteen (15) overs or a team reaches its target in less than fifteen (15) overs. If a side, batting first, is bowled out within the number of overs scheduled or agreed to be faced, its run rate shall be calculated on that number of overs scheduled or agreed to be faced, and not the overs actually faced. NOTE Penalty runs will apply if teams fail to bowl their overs in the time allotted i.e. (10 runs per over). The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs than the team batting first, unless the latter have been bowled out in less than the agreed number of overs. 9.
FITNESS OF GROUND, WEATHER AND LIGHT Law 3.7, 3.8 & 3.9 of the laws of cricket 2000 code 4th Edition –2010 shall apply. If no official Umpires are officiating in the match the fitness of the ground, weather and light shall rest in the hands of the Captains. If no official ground authority is available not later than a half hour prior to the scheduled commencement of the match, the ground shall be considered to have been automatically handed over to the Umpires/Captains as from that time. If an officially appointed Umpire arrives at the ground later than fifteen (15) minutes from the scheduled commencement of the match, the decision regarding the fitness of the ground for play BEFORE commencement of the match shall rest in the hands of the Captains. In order to facilitate play at the earliest possible moment after rain, the Umpires and the Captains shall see that all necessary steps are taken to improve the playing area, other than the pitch. The home team shall use every practicable means to remove water from the covers on the pitch and any other water surrounding the pitch or elsewhere on the playing area.
10.
ABANDONED MATCHES Matches abandoned due to ground, weather or light conditions before a decision has been reached, shall not be regarded as postponed fixtures. In such cases the match would be treated as a draw and points shall be awarded as laid down according to the state of the match and the time it was abandoned.
79
In the event of no official Umpire being present, the respective Captains shall decide in this regard. Result sheets shall be forwarded to the Union in the prescribed manner. Matches abandoned for any other reason other than ground, weather and light will be viewed in a serious light. The team causing the abandonment of a match, by leaving the field or failing to resume play after an interruption or an interval shall be deemed to have lost the match. The Manco of the KZNCU will refer the matter to the DC for investigation. 11.
COVERING OF PITCHES It is not a requirement for teams playing in these leagues to have covers.
12.
SCORING SYSTEM In matches where no playing time is lost after the start, the side scoring the greater number of runs shall be the winner. When a match remains unfinished, due to unfavourable conditions, the winner shall be determined by the calculation of net run rate, provided a minimum of fifteen (15) overs has been completed by each side. If sides score the same number of runs per over overall, then the result shall be determined by the higher number of runs per over in the first fifteen (15) overs. It shall be the responsibility of both Captains that the score is recorded after fifteen (15) overs. Note 1 a. The calculation of the result when a match remains unfinished due to unfavourable conditions shall be based upon the following formula: Total runs Total overs faced = runs per over. b. The winner shall be the side with the highest runs per over taken correct to two (2) decimal points. c. In the event of the side batting first having been all out, the total overs faced shall be the maximum possible ie.35. Note 2 SCORING OF POINTS a. Win: b. Tie/Washout
4 points 2 points each
Note 3 Where a team scratches or is deemed to have scratched a league fixture, its opponents shall be awarded the same number of points, as that gained by the
80
team recording the highest number of points in matches, played in the same league/division on that day/s. 13.
WITHDRAWAL OF A TEAM/S Where a Club withdraws a team/s after the affiliation date, the Club will be penalised by the imposition of a fine of R1000-00 per team/s.
14.
THE BALL A new 142g 4 piece ball as supplied by the union must be used. Each club is to carry at least two used balls. This would alleviate time loss when ball is lost
