Where the number of overs for the team batting second is reduced (including under the provisions of clauses 4.1.(b) and/or 4.1.(c) above), the aim will be to maintain the restrictions in 5.3 and 5.5 for the same proportion of the second innings that they were maintained for the first innings (fractions to be ignored).
5.7 In the event of infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the striker’s end umpire (umpire at square leg) will call and signal “No Ball”.
6. Number of Overs Per Bowler
No bowler shall bowl more than 9 over’s in an innings.
If the start of the match is delayed and the overs are reduced for both teams, no bowler may bowl more than one fifth of the total overs allowed. Where the total overs are not equally divisible by 5, one additional over shall be allowed, to as many bowler’s as is necessary, in order to make up the balance.
E.g. in a game reduced to 29 Overs per side, and using 5 bowler’s, their allocations would be: 6 – 6 – 6 – 6 – 5 = 29.
In a match where the innings of either or both sides is reduced after the start of the match, the maximum number of overs allowed per bowler shall remain as at the start of the match.
In the event of a bowler becoming ill, injured or suspended thus 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.
7. Law 2. Substitutes and runners
Law 2.1 will apply with no amendments (Laws 2003)
8. Law 2.5 Fielder absent or leaving the field
Law 2.5 shall apply as modified – 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 consent of the umpire. The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable (Laws 2003).
If the player is absent from the field for 15 minutes or longer:
(a) 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 (Laws 2003).
(b) 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 5 wickets (competition regulation).
The restriction in (a) and (b) above shall not apply if the player has been struck 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 for medical attention (in the case of a bowler, this dispensation shall apply only once in respect of any one external injury) (competition regulation). Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for exceptional and acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness) and consent for a substitute has been granted by the umpire (competition regulation)
Note: Time lost for an unscheduled break in play shall be counted as time on the field, for any fielder, provided that fielder comes onto the field of play immediately play resumes (Laws 2003).
9. Law 14 Declaration and Forfeiture
Law 14 will not apply in this Competition. The captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time during the course of a match nor can he forfeit an innings (competition regulation).
10. Wides and No Balls
10.1 Law 25.1 Wide Ball – Judging a Wide
No delivery will be called Wide if
– it comes into contact with the striker’s bat or person or
– is called as a No ball (Laws 2003)
For all other deliveries the following interpretation will apply:
Off side Wides
Two white lines will be painted joining the bowling and popping creases. Each line will be parallel to the Return Crease and will be 35 inches from the centre of the middle stump.
(see Appendix A).
Any delivery that passes over or outside of this line will be called Wide by the umpire.
It does not matter that the striker may move thus bringing the ball into an area where he could play a normal cricket stroke – it will still be a Wide (competition regulation).
It will also be a Wide if the batsman moves away from the ball and it passes over or outside of this white line (competition regulation).
Leg side Wides
The line markings mentioned above do not apply to leg side deliveries. A ball will be judged as Wide if it passes the striker behind his legs when standing in a normal guard position (competition regulation). If the striker moves across to the off side to play the ball and the ball passes behind his legs the umpire will have to imagine the profile of the striker standing in a normal guard position, and only provided that the ball would have passed behind this profile, will he call it Wide. If the ball would have hit this profile it will not be a Wide (competition regulation).But if the ball is pitched on middle or leg stump and turns and passes behind his legs or profile, then he would call it a Wide.
Umpires are instructed to apply a consistent interpretation in regard to this Law
Umpires should try and be consistent:
in their own interpretation
with the interpretation of their colleagues
With the interpretation adopted throughout the whole League.
11. Law 42.6 Dangerous and unfair bowling
Law 42.6 (a) (ii) Bowling of fast short pitched balls
This Law will apply with the exception that the word ‘shoulder’ replaces ‘head’ (competition regulation).
Law 42.6 (b) i) and ii) Bowling of high full pitch balls
This Law is amended to the following:
Any delivery (irrespective of its speed) which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.
Any such delivery will be called as a No ball by the bowler’s end umpire and will be followed by the appropriate disciplinary action as laid down in Law 42.7. The umpires will ensure that no such deliveries go unpunished (competition regulation).
Law 42.8 Deliberate bowling of high full pitched balls
This law will be enforced with the proviso that the criteria in 11.2 above will apply when judging the legality of the full pitch delivery (competition regulation).
12. The Ball
CE will provide 2 new balls for each match.
CE will provide a selection of replacement balls at both playing venues.
A new ball will be used at the start of each innings.
The umpires will decide if and when a ball becomes unfit for use. They will be the sole judges of both when it should be replaced and the selection of the replacement. They will inform the fielding captain and batsmen at the crease of their decision (Laws 2003).
The Umpires will report back to the League Committee of any ball tampering during any league game and the player, They should report the Incident to the two captains at the time when you have replace the ball.
13. The Result
13.1 All Matches
When there is no interruption after play has commenced and when both sides have had the opportunity, subject to the provisions of 4.1 (c) above, of batting for the same agreed number of overs, the team scoring the higher number of runs shall be the winner.
In the event of a tie, the following will apply: The team losing the lesser number of wickets shall be the winner, if the result cannot be decided in this way, the winner shall be the team with the higher score (irrespective of wickets lost) after 15 overs, or if still equal, after 14 overs, etc.
If, due to suspension of play during the 2nd innings, the number of overs in that innings has to be revised to a lesser number than that originally allotted, then a revised target score should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This will be calculated on the basis of over run rate (ORR).
Over Run Rate – in general, this is the average number of runs scored per over during a side’s innings.
Team batting first. ORR is calculated by dividing the runs scored by the number of over’s made available to them. If the side batting first is dismissed in less than the overs made available to them the ORR will be calculated based on the fact that they batted for their full allocation of overs.
The target score for the side batting second will be calculated by multiplying the ORR achieved by the side batting first by the number of overs made available to the side batting second. To obtain the target score this resulting number is either:
rounded up to the next whole figure or
Where this figure is already a whole number, 1 run will be added.
Team batting second. If a side is prevented from batting for their allotted number of overs because of prevailing conditions their ORR will be calculated using the actual number of overs they were able to bat. Any part over will be rounded up to the next whole number.
If a match is abandoned before it has been played to a conclusion, and the team batting second has received its minimum number of allotted overs (as laid down in 4 above), the result shall be decided by over run rate. The side with the higher ORR will be the winner.
If the ORR is the same the side losing the lesser number of wickets in the first 20 overs of each innings will be the winner. If this is still equal a count back system will apply until a winner is found. i.e. side losing the lesser number of wickets in the 19th over – counting back until an over is reached whereby the number of wickets lost differs.
All matches, in which both teams have not had the opportunity of batting for the minimum number of overs as laid down in 4 above, shall be decided by 13.1(f).
In the event of it not being possible to achieve a result with the above, the match will be recorded as: A and B
in a League match – No Result (10 points to each team)
in a Play off match – the winner will be the team who has the best Net Run Rate, of the two teams, going into the match.
Replacement Teams,
If a Teams that had qualified to attend the play offs and Cant Attend for circumstances’ beyond our control will be replaced. see D
A replacement team to play in a play off match, will be Chosen from the same Spanish League, The 3rd placed team will be Chosen for the Ply offs.
If the League Committee finds any grounds for misconduct by the team who failed to turn up for the play offs will be find 20 points from the start of the next league season.
Dates given in the league program for matches will be strictly adearheard to by all clubs.
