Pura Cup Playing Conditions and the Laws of Cricket (2000 Code) shall apply except as varied below. 1. DURATION OF MATCHES AND COMPOSITION OF TEAM
1.1
1.2
2. HOURS OF PLAY AND INTERVALS 2.1 Hours of Play
DAY MATCHES - NSW, TAS, VIC, SA, WA, QLD
DAY/NIGHT MATCHES - QLD, VIC, SA, WA
The following playing times shall apply to these specific matches.
2.1.2 Final
2.1.3 Venues There will be two sessions of 3½ hours each, separated by a break as per 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. 2.2 Interval Between Innings:
Where play is delayed or interrupted the Umpires will reduce the length of the interval as follows:-
2.3 Intervals 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.
2.4 Extra Time
3. APPOINTMENT OF UMPIRES
4. LENGTH OF INNINGS 4.1 Uninterrupted Matches
(b) If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs by the scheduled time for cessation of the first session, play shall continue until the required number of overs has been bowled. Unless otherwise determined by the Referee, the innings of the team batting second shall be limited to the same number of overs bowled by it, at the scheduled time for cessation of the first session. The over in progress at the scheduled cessation time shall count as a completed over. The interval shall not be extended and the second session shall commence at the scheduled time. The Referee may increase the number of overs to be bowled by the team bowling second if, after consultation with the Umpires, he is of the opinion that events beyond the control of the bowling team prevented that team from bowling the required number of overs by the scheduled time for the cessation of the innings of the team batting first. (c) If the team batting first is all out and the last wicket falls at or after the scheduled time for the interval, the innings of the team batting second shall be limited to the same number of overs bowled to the team batting first at the scheduled time for the interval (the over in which the last wicket falls to count as a complete over). (d) If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 50 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for 50 overs except as provided in (c) above. (e) If the team fielding second fails to bowl 50 overs or the number of overs as provided in 4.1 (b), (c) or (d) by the scheduled cessation time, the hours of play shall be extended until the required number of overs has been bowled or a result achieved.
(a) The object shall always be to rearrange the number of overs so that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same number of overs. (Minimum 15 overs each team. Finals 25 overs each team), subject to the provisions of Clause 4.1(b) The calculation of the number of overs to be bowled shall be based on an average rate of 14.28 overs per hour in the total time available for play. If a reduction of the number of overs is required, any recalculation must not cause the match to be rescheduled to finish earlier than the original cessation time. This time may be extended to allow for one extra over for both teams to be added if required. (b) If the team fielding second fails to bowl the required numbers 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) 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. (d) Under all circumstances, the field restrictions for the innings of the team batting second shall be the same as for the team batting first. (e) A team shall not be permitted to declare its innings closed. (f) Fractions are to be ignored in all calculations re number of overs.
4.2.2 Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting
First
4.2.3 Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the Team Batting
Second 5. RESTRICTIONS ON THE PLACEMENT OF FIELDSMEN
The field restriction area should be marked by continuous painted white lines or 'dots' at five yard (4.5m) intervals, each 'dot' to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring seven inches (18 cm) in diameter. At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than five fieldsmen on the leg side. For the first 15 overs only two fieldsmen are permitted to be outside the field restriction marking at the instant of delivery. For overs 16 to 30 only three fieldsmen are permitted to be outside the field restriction marking at the instant of delivery. For the remaining overs only five fieldsmen are permitted to be outside the field restriction marking at the instant of delivery. In the first 15 overs there must be a minimum of two stationary fieldsmen within 15 (14m) yards of the striker at the instant of delivery. Two inner circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The circles have as their centres the centre point of the popping crease at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the circles is 15 yards (13.72 metres). The field restriction area should be marked by 'dots'. The segment of the circles reserved for the slip positions shall not be demarcated. (Refer attached Appendix 1). In the first 15 overs there must be a minimum of two stationary fieldsmen within the 15 yards field restriction of the striker at the instant of delivery. When a fast bowler is bowling the two stationary fieldsmen may be permitted to stand deeper than 15 yards (in the undemarcated area) provided only that they are standing in slip, leg slip and gully positions. Where play is delayed or interrupted affecting the innings of the team batting first and the total number of overs available is reduced, the number of overs in regard to field restrictions shall be reduced proportionately. Fractions are to be ignored. In the event of an infringement, the square leg umpire shall call and signal no ball.
6. NUMBER OF OVERS PER BOWLER
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. This restriction shall not apply to the team fielding second where the provisions of Clause 4.1(b) have been applied. Where the total overs 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 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. The scoreboard shall show the total number of overs bowled and the number of overs bowled by each bowler. 7. NO BALL
A fast short pitched delivery 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 the bowler bowling more than one fast short pitched delivery in an over, either umpire shall call and signal no ball. The above regulation is not a substitute for Law 42.6 which umpires may apply at any time. NOTE: the provision of one allowable fast short pitched delivery per over shall be superseded by the provisions of Clause 8 - wide bowling. A penalty of one run shall be scored for a no ball, plus any runs scored from the delivery.
8. WIDE BOWLING - JUDGING A WIDE
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.
The above provisions do not apply if the striker makes contact with
the ball.
A penalty of one run shall be scored for a wide. 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 wide balls.
9. THE BALL
Where day/night matches are scheduled, white balls will be used in
all matches (including day matches) in a series.
Each fielding team shall have one new ball for its innings.
In the event of a ball becoming wet and soggy as a result of play
continuing in inclement weather or it being affected by dew, or a white
ball becoming significantly discoloured and in the opinion of the Umpires
being unfit for play, the ball may be replaced for a ball that has had a
similar amount of wear, even though it has not gone out of shape.
Either bowler or batsman may raise the matter with the Umpires and
the Umpires' decision as to replacement or otherwise will be final.
Also Umpires shall inspect the ball at the second drinks interval
and if in their opinion the ball has become significantly discoloured and
unfit for play, the ball may be replaced with a ball that has had a
similar amount of wear and improved colour.
The umpires shall retain possession of the match ball(s) throughout
the duration of the match when play is not actually taking place. During
play umpires shall periodically and irregularly inspect the condition of
the ball and shall retain possession of it at the fall of a wicket, a
drinks interval, at the end of each over, or any other disruption in play.
10. THE RESULT
10.1
All matches in which both teams have not had an opportunity of
batting for a minimum of 15 overs, shall be declared no result.
10.2 Tie
10.3 Delayed or Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score
Experimental Conditions (2 years from August 1999)
11. POINTS
11.1 Preliminary Matches
11.2 Bonus Points
A team's run rate will be calculated by reference to the runs scored
in an innings divided by the number of overs faced.
Where matches are shortened and targets revised using the Duckworth /
Lewis system, bonus run rates and defensive targets are derived as a
function of the revised target score and maximum overs. Refer Appendix 4.
In the event of the teams finishing on equal points, the right to
play in the final match will be determined as follows:
In a match declared no result, run rate is not applicable.
A team's net run rate is calculated by deducting from the
average runs per over scored by that team throughout the competition, the
average runs per over scored against that team throughout the competition,
that is, calculation of net run rate = Team run rate per over less
Opponent run rate per over.
In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of
overs, the calculation of its net 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.
In matches where play is delayed or interrupted, and the match
becomes less than a 50 over per team match, the Team Run Rates will be
calculated as follows:
(a) The Team Run Rate for the team batting second will be the
rate achieved in its innings, with such rate being based on the number of
overs as set in Clause 10.4.
(b) The Team Run Rate for the team batting first will be that
which was achieved from the same number of highest scoring overs as set in
Clause 10.4 to be bowled to the team batting second.
12. PENALTY FOR NOT BOWLING REQUIRED OVERS (second innings)
13. FINAL
13.1 Venue
13.2 Tie
13.3 No Result
In the event of a no result in the Final (including the Reserve
Day), the team finishing on top of the points table at the end of the
preliminary matches shall be declared the winner.
13.4 Reserve Date
14. USE OF LIGHTS
In the event of power failure or lights malfunction the existing
provisions for "Delayed or Interrupted Matches" shall apply.
15. CLOTHING, EQUIPMENT & FOOTWEAR
In all matches, the competing teams will wear approved coloured
clothing and equipment.
The use of non-spiked footwear by players is not permitted.
16. SIGHT SCREENS
Any competition or advertising sign attached or near to the sight screen
shall be deemed to be separate from the sight screen, i.e. if the ball
hits such a sign on the full, 6 runs shall be scored.
17. PLAYER'S CONDUCT
18. REFEREE
Match Referee for the Final shall be appointed by ACB.
If, in the opinion of the Referee, a result has been contrived and
he so reports to the Australian Cricket Board, then the Australian Cricket
Board may amend points obtained in the match by either team.
