FOREWORD FROM ACA PRESIDENT
Dear friends and fellow cricket lovers,
I always thought, if given the opportunity I would prepare speech of few lines
while taking over Presidency. However never in my dreams did I think that I
would become President in such a dramatic fashion.
Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to serve Aberdeenshire
Cricket Association (ACA) as it’s President. Born and brought up in Bombay and
Mumbai, cricket has always been major part of my life. Hence, I see this as an
opportunity to give something back to the game we love from bottom of our
hearts.
ACA, the 130+ years old institution is bigger and larger than any and every one
of us, hence I see myself serving ACA instead of presiding it. Me and my
management team along with ACA are of Grades cricketers, by the Grades
cricketers and for Grades cricketers. However let me highlight important phrase
here that our constitution is what given to us by Grades cricketers and as we
have seen from issues past few months we can only do so much within its
present remit.
Going forward, I think we have loads of challenges to face, right from tackling
fragmented Grades, future of Cricket in our part of the country, dealing with
issues of modern way of playing cricket where passion and emotions seems to
overrule morals and ethics of good old gentlemen’s game.
For tackling some or all of above challenges Management Committee should be
proactive, consultative and engaging with every club member irrespective of
whatever happened in the past and irrespective of some of this engagement
might end up in ego-swallowing siege.
I’m firm believer of Track II diplomacy where one can use soft power and
negotiation skills for exploring solutions instead of getting stuck with heavy
hand bureaucracy. I have initiated consultations with different stakeholders
keeping in mind above issues. However I would need your support in my
endeavour so that we can get back to stable platform before we deal future
challenges.
Last but not least, apologies to Methlick Cricket Club and Banchory Cricket
Club, for keeping you on the edge with regards to your position in league table
standing for year 2015. From my experience of administrating club and team, I
can appreciate the difficulties in managing your own players, trying to answer
their questions or holding on to players who have aspirations on playing in
certain Grade’s league, especially when you guys didn’t had any clue for 6-7
months on where do you stand.
Page 5
I put my hand up and take responsibility on behalf of ACA to acknowledge the
fact that we did let you down. We should have been prepared for it, in form of
process, rules, better ACA-Club co-ordination or many other reasons. However
let us not forget that all member clubs and its players make up ACA and we
should strive to make sure we don’t ever end up in repeat situation.
My special thanks to Methlick Cricket Club (MCC) for showing great sense of
sportsmanship and valour in way they represented there club and carried
themselves during time of uncertainty. MCC you truly deserve to win Fair Play
Trophy in letter and spirit. You are benchmark of honour and pride during
every situation for all teams playing in our amateur league.
Management committee is not driving but more or less administrating on
whatever rules given to us by clubs, which is the way it should be, however for
certain unseen and unwanted confrontation or for some constructive initiative
having more authority is always helpful. This is again something for all of us to
get together and brain storm for well-being and protection of our way, amateur
way, of playing cricket.
I have initiated dialogue with Umpire’s Association to get around table and
have open and honest discussion on way forward. Hopefully I should have
some feedback for you sooner than later.
My statement will be incomplete if I don’t thank ex-committee members for all
of their support.
Jim Stephen, one of the most selfless cricketer and person I know in Aberdeen
and who introduced me to Grades cricket and who was inspiration for me to
serve my team and club without expecting anything in return. He is in same
league of Sydney Stephen and Ian Sutherland, both winner of Alan Forbes
Trophy, for his commitment to the club and cricket.
Phil Gill, our honourable ex-president who brought me in Management
Committee and introduced me to administration and governing of ACA and who
has always been great advocate for modernizing our ACA, and of course,
Paul Gray, big fan of Strathmore and Perthshire Cricket Union but humble and
staunch well-wisher of Grades cricket. Thank you all, I know you all will be
contributing in some form and shape in future of Grades cricket.
Please feel to reach me on [email protected] or 07981787921 for any
feedback and suggestions.
Yours sincerely,
Vai Bode
President

11. Registration
Each Club shall send to the Secretary of the Association on or
before the 20th day of April each year, a list signed by the

preferred forename and addresses of all its members. New

be registered with the Secretary of the Association prior to taking
part in any of the competitions. No professional, that is any
person who has received payment in cash or kind as an
inducement to, or to facilitate, her/his playing cricket, and/or who
has appeared in First Class Cricket or a List A One Day
Page 21
International, in each case in either the current or the two
preceding calendar years, as evidenced by the Association of
Cricket Statisticians Yearbook, or Overseas Amateur registered
with the Cricket Scotland League or any of its recognised Feeder
Leagues shall take part in any of the competitions. Any team
playing an unqualified player, shall, on protest, be adjudged to
have lost the match.
The names under which players are identified in any official
scoring record must be those under which they have been
registered with the Association for the purpose of this Rule.
12. Player Eligibility
In any game, no team may field any player who has not been
ordinarily resident in the European Economic Area for the 183
days (six months) prior to the match concerned. This restriction
does not apply to:
(a) students registered on a full-time course of education
in Scotland
(b) individuals in full-time employment in Scotland for which a
Work Permit is required and has been granted
(c) players
eligible
temporarily
to
represent Scotland,
but
abroad
(d) the spouse, civil partner or dependent relative of any of (a)
to (c) above.
Consideration may be given by the Committee to waive this rule,
but only in “exceptional circumstances”.
13. Players
A player may be registered at any time for one club only; but – if
they have not played in the Grades in the season then current –
may cancel and transfer their registration at any time, provided
that they have no financial commitments outstanding to their
previous club. However, a player may only play for one club in
Association competitions in any one season with the exceptions
that :Page 22
(a) In League competitions only, a lower Grade player may play
two trial matches for a higher Grade Club provided s/he has
the permission from her/his Club and that the Association
Secretary has been previously notified. No Club will be
allowed to field more than two triallists in any one game.
Before s/he may play a third time, s/he must be registered
as per Rule 10 and cease to belong to the lower Club. Clubs
may not field trial players in any cup games. No triallists
may play in league games once the permitted transfer
period for players between clubs under Rule 13 (c) has
expired.
(b) If, during the season, a Club withdraws from all Association
fixtures, a player who had been registered with that Club
may re-register for any Grade Club, but for whom s/he may
not play in Cup-tie Competitions if s/he has already done so
with her/his previous Club.
(c) If for any reason during a season a player wishes to change
Clubs s/he may be allowed to do so provided s/he has
permission from the Management Committee after having
forwarded written statements to them from both Clubs
explaining the reasons why; provided no more than six
weeks have elapsed from the scheduled start of the season;
and provided also that s/he has settled all debits to her/his
previous Club and returned all property of that Club. The
player in question has also to pay to the Association a £25
fee, and this has to be paid and receipted before s/he can
play for the new Club.
(d) Where a Club’s first team within the Grades is that club’s
recognised Third Eleven, no player over the age of 21 on 1st
September of the previous season who in the current season
has played in more than two games for the Club’s
recognised First Eleven shall thereafter be allowed to play in
any fixture under the aegis of the Association for the
remainder of that season.
(e) In junior age-group competitions, a player may play for a
team run by a Club or Clubs other than that for which s/he
plays at senior level, provided that s/he plays for only one
such team in any competition in any season. The
requirements of Rules 11 and 13 shall not apply to players
Page 23
(a) who are under the age of 16 on April 20th preceding the
current season provided they have not previously played in
the Scottish National Cricket League, Perthshire & Strathmore
Cricket Union or North of Scotland Cricket League, or gained
representative honours at National or District level. Clubs
willing to permit junior players falling within this Rule who
have previously played for them to appear for other Clubs in
senior competition in the same season will be afforded the
opportunity to provide a named contact for facilitating this in
the Association WEB site. The actual basis, including
provisions for child protection and any playing restrictions,
under which such arrangements are made are for the relevant
Clubs to agree; and the Association can accept no legal
responsibility for them.
(b) In Grade 4 only, if both captains agree, a club may loan up to
three players to its opponents, in order that a fixture may be
fulfilled which otherwise may have been scratched.
(c) In the event that any Club has two teams in the same Grade
in the same season, that Club will be required to notify the
Secretary of the Association and the other teams in the Grade
that they are about to participate in, of the names of a
number of members regularly participating in the Grades the
previous year and expected to be doing so in the forthcoming
season to be determined by the Executive at its Annual
General Meeting from time to time [currently 6] who will be
allowed to play only for the Club’s recognised 1st XI during
that season. With that exception, Clubs with 1st and 2nd XI
may play their members in either XI as often as they wish.
(d) Any of sub-sections (a) to (g) notwithstanding, no player may
play for more than one team in any given cup competition in
the same season.
(e) No player who in the current season has played in a higher
Grade/level of cricket, or in a senior weekend league outside
of the Grades, can play in a cup competition at semi-final or
final level unless s/he has played at least three times during
the season for that team prior to the cup match
concerned. This restriction shall not apply to any player aged
Page 24
under 18 on 20th April preceding the season concerned.
14. Financial Status of Players
No player may take part in any competition unless s/he is clear
financially with any Club of which s/he was a member the previous
season. Any Club knowingly fielding such a player, shall on
protest, be adjudged to have lost the match.
15. Protests
Protests must be intimated in writing to the Secretary of the
Association, to reach him not later than five days, including
Sunday, following the date on which the match was played, and
must be accompanied by a fee of £25. In addition, a protest,
except in regard to the eligibility of any players, must be
intimated to both Umpires and to the Captain of the opposing
team either before or during the progress of the game, but a
protesting team must play out the match although under protest.
Should the protest be judged frivolous, the £25 shall be forfeit.
Should the protest be upheld, the opposing team should pay a fine
of £25.
16. Fixtures
Fixtures and venues for the ensuing season shall be arranged by
the Management Committee and promulgated to Clubs as soon as
practicable after the Annual General Meeting. They shall thereafter
be published in the Association WEB site and no alterations shall
be made without the sanction of the Management Committee. The
Management Committee themselves shall have powers to make
alterations should circumstances arise to make such a course
necessary. In the event of any Club refusing or failing to fulfil its
engagement on the date and ground fixed or to continue to play
out the fixture without reasonable cause for so doing the match
may be awarded to the opposing Club. In this context a League
fixture re-arranged by the Committee, provided that two weeks
notice is given to both Clubs, is as binding as a fixture published
in the Association WEB site.
For the purposes of this Rule, “notification” shall be considered to
include one or more of the following: verbal communication with
an official of the club or clubs concerned; an e-mail, receipt of
which has been acknowledged by the addressee; or official
notification on the Association Web Site.
Page 25
Notes:
(1) A Club normally fielding two or more elevens in the Grades,
and which has two or more fixtures on the same day, must (if
unable to fulfil all its fixtures) scratch (or by agreement with its
opponents and the consent of the Management committee,
postpone) its scheduled fixtures from the lowest division of the
Grades, working upwards.
*(2) In the event of a game being called off for whatever reason,
the message of the cancellation must be passed onto an official of
the opposition by word of mouth – not by fax or answering
systems.
*(3) Any Club scratching a fixture must do so and both teams
must inform the Association Secretary by 7.00p.m. the night
before at the very latest. Any Club failing to comply shall incur a
10 point penalty.
(4) Fixtures in Grade 4, which involve second or third elevens,
may be re-arranged from Saturday to Sunday, if both clubs agree.
(5) In determining whether a team has failed to fulfil or play out
any fixture the Management Committee shall have regard to clubs’
adherence to the Association’s “Wet Weather Rules and
Procedures”, as approved and issued by it from time to time.
*Failure to abide by these rules may be taken by the Management
Committee as evidence of failing to fulfil a fixture “without
reasonable cause” in the event of a protest. Provision has been
made for publication of additional contacts in the Association WEB
site for this purpose.
All competition matches shall take place on Saturdays and
Sundays and all matches shall be decided by a single innings.
Except in cases where the Management Committee shall fix a
different hour, all matches shall start at 1.00p.m., subject to the
right to the away team to request a postponement to 1.30p.m.
where the fixtures is more than 25 miles distant, or of either team
to request such a postponement should players from their club be
involved in junior or schools cricket on that day. Teams may
however elect to start earlier by agreement. Any unreasonable
delay in the commencement of a match being reported to the
Association, the Management Committee shall have powers to
Page 26
impose a points deduction on the offending Club and/or to award
the match to their opponents.
Notes:
(1) The attention of Clubs is drawn to the fact that by Law 12 the
Captains, in the presence of one or both umpires where these
have been appointed, shall toss for the choice of innings on the
field of play not earlier than 30 minutes and not later than 15
minutes before the time scheduled for the match to start. Any
Club failing to be available to toss the coin shall be adjudged to
have lost the toss. Clubs are reminded that it is also the
responsibility of the captain of the home team, before the toss of
the innings for each game, to agree with the umpires – or failing
such, the opposition captain – if any obstacles within the field of
play are to be classified as boundaries/constituting a “dead ball” if
hit. Such arrangements are valid only if made before the toss for
innings.
(2) In the event of any match [or, where appropriate, match in
the group stage of a league cup competition] not having been
played or completed on account of weather or state of ground or
for any other reason, such match shall automatically be null and
void, unless it is the second such match scheduled and the first
match has previously been null and void; in which circumstances
the match must be played or replayed on the first date that is
available to both teams. However, where a league fixture cannot
take place on the originally scheduled date for genuine reasons
other than weather/state of ground [e.g. a tour, ground nonavailability, priority of a cup fixture, or other reasonable
circumstances acceptable to the Management Committee], or a
team elects not to enforce a walkover, a match may be rescheduled; but only on a joint application of both clubs to the
Management Committee submitted within seven days of the
originally scheduled date, and provided that the game is arranged
for the first date available to both teams, including being brought
forward if circumstances permit. Fixtures may not be rescheduled
for league points unless application for approval is submitted
within this period. Once approval has been given by the
Management Committee to a fixture being re-scheduled, such
fixture then has the same status as the originally scheduled
fixture, which it has replaced.
For the purposes of this Rule:Page 27
(a) “first available date that is available to both teams” shall
mean the first Saturday or Sunday, other than the day
immediately following, on which:
i)
The club of neither team has a Grades-level fixture in a
national competition or a 40-over knockout cup;
ii)
The ground of either team is available. In the event of
insufficient Council pitches being available on that day,
pitches will be allocated to teams from the highest Grade
downwards.
(b) If the application of (a) above means that a Club would have
multiple re-arranged league games on any Sunday then the game
involving the senior team shall take precedence & must be fulfilled
on that date, the first available date for re-scheduled fixtures
involving other teams of that Club being re-calculated accordingly.
17. Senior League Competitions
(a) All League matches shall be limited to a maximum of 90 sixball overs. The second innings shall consist of the balance of overs
remaining after dismissal of or declaration by the side batting
first, an unfinished over in the first innings to count as one over.
The team batting first shall not bat for more than 46 overs.
(b) Ten points shall be awarded for a win, and five to each team in
the event of a tie. In the event of a draw after 90 overs the points
awarded shall be determined by the duration of the first innings,
according to the following table in which Team A is the team
batting first and Team B the team batting second; save that if
Team A has batted 42 overs or less and Team B fails to score 75%
of the runs scored by Team A, then draw points will not be
activated and Team A shall be awarded ten points as for a win and
Team B zero :Duration of

The result decision shall be made by the normal Laws of Cricket.
In addition, bonus points shall be awarded as follows:(c) The winning team, or any team receiving 10 points in the
event of a draw, shall automatically receive twenty bonus points.
For other sides, one bonus point shall be awarded to the bowling
side for each wicket taken, while one bonus point shall be
awarded to the batting side on scoring 40 runs and one additional
point for each additional 15 runs, up to a maximum of ten bonus
points.
Page 29
(d) A Captain may declare her/his innings closed at any time by
doing so to the opposing Captain and the Umpires but
declarations are not allowed to be retrospective.
(e) The Captains must provide the Umpires (or, in the event of
there being no official Umpires, the opposing Captain) with a
team list prior to the toss for innings.
(f) In the event of a nominated player failing to appear to bat,
her/his team’s innings shall be considered to be completed when
the last batsman available is dismissed or retires.
(g) In all grades no bowler may bowl more than 12 overs. More
restrictive advisory guidelines apply to the number of overs,
which may be bowled by junior players.
(h) The Umpires, or failing appointed officials, the two Captains,
must satisfy themselves on the correctness of the scores and the
Captains must sign each scorebook or sheet.
(i) In the event of a match being unfinished due to weather
conditions, it shall be null and void and no points shall be awarded
unless a re-match is required under the provisions of the final
paragraph of Rule 16.
(j) The Clubs that, during the season, shall have obtained the
greatest number of points expressed as a percentage of the
points (including bonus points) available for a win shall be the
Champions of their respective Grades. In the event of a tie,
placing will be decided by a figure calculated by dividing the
average runs per wicket for by the average runs per wicket
against, the higher such figure shall win.
(k) A team scratching a fixture shall have ten wickets added to
their total of wickets lost for the purpose of assessing average. In
a declared innings only those wickets actually fallen shall be
counted.
(l) If during the season a club should withdraw from all remaining
league fixtures the matches it has already played shall be deemed
null and void. If during a season a Club fails to fulfil at least twothirds of its fixtures all matches played by that Club shall be null
and void and the Club or Team in question shall be required to
Page 30
apply for re-admission for the following season (see Rule 3).
(m) The Laws of Cricket (2000 Code – 4th edition 2010) will apply
generally to all games played under the auspices of the
Association unless specifically modified by the above or other
Special Local Regulations.
(n) Sections (a) and (b) of this Rule notwithstanding, as a trial for
season 2015, Grade 1 matches will be played on a 45 overs a
side, win/lose format. The winning side will be awarded 30 points,
and the activated draw will not apply. For losing sides, or in the
event of a tie, bonus points for batting and bowling will apply as
noted in Section (c) of this Rule, plus five further points to each
side in the event of a tie. The result decision will continue to be
made by the normal Laws of Cricket. Sections (d) to (m) of this
Rule will also continue to apply.
18. Senior Cup Ties
All Cup-tie Competitions shall be conducted on the knock-out
principle with each side being limited to 40 overs each and each
bowler being limited to a maximum of 10 overs. All byes shall be
drawn in the first round of each competition. The Club first drawn
shall be the home Club. If less than seven wickets have fallen, the
game shall be null and void and replayed if possible on the same
ground. If for any other reason a replay is necessary, the other
Club shall become the home Club. In the event of the scores
finishing level in a cup tie, that team shall be deemed the winners
which has lost fewer wickets, or if both sides have lost the same
number of wickets, that side which scored its runs in the lesser
number of overs, including part overs. Only if the game is still a
tie thereafter shall it be replayed, with the other side becoming
the home team.
All replays will take place within seven days or at the discretion of

grounds to be fixed by the Management Committee.

confirm.
Clubs are reminded that under a change to Rules approved at the
2008 AGM, players must be identified in reporting results using
the name under which they are registered with the Association:
both surname and initial should be given, as these are needed for
press reports. Occasionally, where a club has multiple players
Page 32
with the same surname and initial, the full first name may be
required.
Discretion should be used, where appropriate, also to spell out in
full surnames which are unusual or have variant spellings Macdonald, McDonald, etc - as the time available for preparing
press reports does not allow the checking of all names against
club registration lists.
A sample report is given below and a template is available on the
Association Web Site for reference, which you may wish to print
off
"Paul Brown; Country CC; 07896 549213.
Country versus City - Grade 1. May 15th 2010.
City 200 for 5 (A Black 75 not out, J Green 22; John Smith 4 for
33, James Smith 3 for 47) 44 overs
Country 169 for 8 (James Smith 44, A. McNab 27; Z Khan 6 for
17 inc hat-trick, P. Gray 2 for 55).
Match Drawn. City 23 points: Country 16 points.
[Country lost their first five wickets for 35.]"
Notification of the registration of new players may also be left on
the answering machine, provided it is followed up by submission
of written details on the form downloadable from the Association
Web Site by the middle of the following week, and that - in
accordance with Rule 11 - no player may take an active part in
any game until her/his registration has been notified, if necessary
by mobile phone.
21. Cups and Trophies
The Association may present a Cup or other Trophy or prize to the
winners of the various competitions. The Cups or trophies so
presented will be held for one year only and must be returned to
the Secretary of the Association by 1st August in each year. A
document in the following terms shall be granted on behalf of
each winning Club:“We, the Secretary and two Members of the <……………….…> Club,
winners for Season 20xx of the Cup called the <…….…> And which
we have now received, do hereby, on behalf of our said Club and
individually and collectively, undertake to return the said Cup in
Page 33
good order and condition, to the Secretary of the Aberdeenshire
Cricket Association for the time being on or before the First day of
August, 20xx”.
A Club failing to hand over the Cup by the 1st of August shall be
fined £2, which must be paid before 31st December in that year.
22. Individual Prizes and Averages
To be eligible for any cup, trophy or prize given under the
auspices of the Association, players will be required to have batted
in at least 2/3 of the completed matches played under league
conditions by their team or to have taken an aggregate number of
wickets in their respective grades which is not less than 1.5 times
the number of completed matches played under league conditions
by their team.
Victories obtained by walkover shall not be regarded as completed
matches for the purpose of this calculation: defeats as a result of
scratching however shall be so regarded. Runs scored after the
winning hit has been made shall not be included in the Association
Batting and Bowling Averages.
A player, re-registered as per Rule 13 may not use her/his
combined performances when calculating her/his Grade averages.
The allocation of prizes shall be in the hands of the Management
Committee but they shall be under no obligation to find prizes. All
Clubs shall return to the Secretary of the Association, their best
averages for batting, bowling and wicket-keeping, immediately
after the last match of the season, in order that they may be
verified by the weekly returns or by the scorebooks of the
respective Clubs as may be decided by the Management
Committee.
23. Indiscipline
(a) Any player behaving in an un-gentlemanly manner or insulting
any Umpire in either a visible or verbal manner during the course
of or in connection with a match, or otherwise breaching the Laws
of Cricket [including the Preamble thereto, entitled “The Spirit of
Cricket”] or bringing the game into disrepute, or the captain of
such a player, shall be liable to disciplinary action at the instance
of the Disciplinary Committee of the Association.
Page 34
(b) For the purposes of this rule:(i) the expression ‘player’ shall be deemed to include any
player, member, or official of any Club;
(ii) the expression ‘Disciplinary Committee’ shall mean a
Committee comprising a maximum of seven persons
elected by the Executive of the Association at the Spring
Meeting of the Association and serving for three years,
with any or all of its members being eligible for reelection. A quorum of the Disciplinary Committee shall be
three members and any vacancies may be filled by cooption, subject to ratification at the following Spring
Meeting. The Committee shall appoint its own Convener
and Secretary.
(c) The Disciplinary Committee will not consider any complaint
against a player unless written notice of any such complaint is
received by the Secretary of the Association from any Club or
member of the Umpires Association within five days after the date
of the alleged offence. A meeting of the Disciplinary Committee
shall be convened within ten days of receipt of any such written
complaint.
The player against whom the complaint has been made will be
entitled to be present at the meeting in order to answer the
complaint or to have a representative present to speak on her/his
behalf before a decision is reached. Unless specifically exempted,
both captains on the day of any match in respect of which
indiscipline is reported, must also attend any disciplinary hearing.
The captain of a player reported may also where appropriate be
disciplined, irrespective of whether directly involved in any
ungentlemanly behaviour reported, if in the opinion of the
Disciplinary Committee s/he failed to take reasonable steps to
prevent the behaviour concerned, as may the captain of the
opposing side if, in the opinion of the Disciplinary Committee,
actions by her/his players contributed materially to the incident of
indiscipline reported.
(d) Any player found by the Disciplinary Committee to have
committed an offence under paragraph (a) above will have a right
of appeal to the Management Committee provided that a written
Page 35
notice setting out the grounds of appeal is received by the
Secretary of the Association within seven days of the notification
of the decision of the Disciplinary Committee and is accompanied
by a deposit of £50.
An appeal hearing will be convened within ten days of receipt of
any such written appeal, with the player having the same rights of
attendance or representation as were available to him at the
original hearing. The Management Committee may confirm, vary
or reverse the decision of the Disciplinary Committee but will have
no power to increase any penalty imposed. The Management
Committee will also be empowered to order the £50 deposit to be
forfeited should it consider an appeal to be frivolous, as to which
it shall be the sole judge. The decision of the Management
Committee on the appeal will be final. Any penalty imposed by the
Disciplinary Committee will be suspended pending the outcome of
any appeal.
(e) A member of the Disciplinary Committee or of the
Management Committee will not be permitted to participate in the
hearing of any case involving a player from the Club of which s/he
is a member or which arises from a game in which her/his Club
was involved.
(f) The sanctions available under this Rule shall be one of more of
the following: oral or written reprimand; suspension of a player,
players, or of a team from Association competitions for a specified
period; a fine on a club (but not on individuals) not exceeding
£50; deduction of not more than 30 league points; or award of a
match to the opposition.
(g) The standard of proof in proceedings under this Rule shall be
the civil standard – “more likely than not”.
24. Bowler’s Attire
No bowler shall be allowed to bowl in dark clothes in any of the
competitions without the consent of the Captain of the opposing
team.
25. Standard Ball
The ball to be used in all senior games played under the auspices
of the Association shall be specified from time to time by the
Page 36
Management Committee. Subject to endorsement by the Annual
General Meeting, the ball to be used in fixtures at Grade 1 level
shall be of the quality specification next above. The Standard Balls
specified for 2014 onward are, for Grade 1 and the Aberdeenshire
Cup, the “Dukes Royal Crown A” 5½oz (DT061) and, for other
games, the “Dukes Special Crown Match A” 5½oz (DT054),
available from Thistle Sports at the concessionary prices of
£105.00 & £90.00 per box respectively, plus a £1 levy per ball to
the Association funds. Where under Law 5(5) if a ball is lost or
becomes unfit for play during an innings it may be replaced by
any ball which is agreed by both captains and umpires to have
had wear comparable with that which the previous ball had
received before the need for replacement.
26. Rules
No alteration shall be made in the foregoing Constitution and
Rules without a majority of the Executive present voting in favour
of the proposed alterations at the Annual General Meeting. Notice
of any such alterations must be in the Secretary’s hands by
1st November, in order that Clubs may get twenty-eight days
notice of same.
Amendments to the alterations must be in the Secretary’s hands
in time for Clubs to get fourteen days notice of same.
Any proposed alteration to rules (other than one proposed by the
Rules Committee) or amendment thereto (whether to a proposal
made by the Rules Committee or otherwise) must be proposed by
a minimum of three Clubs.
Exceptionally, with the consent of two-thirds of those present and
voting, Rule Changes may be considered at the Spring or a
Special Meeting, where necessary to respond to factors unknown
at the time of the Annual General Meeting [eg reconstruction of
national or other leagues].
COMPETITIONS SUB-COMMITTEE
AMENDED GUIDELINES APPROVED AT THE SPRING MEETING 2015
At its Annual General Meeting on 24 November 2013 the
Association agreed that the Management Committee be permitted,
as an experiment for 2014 initially, to devolve its responsibilities
under Association Rules 6a and 6b for the management of
Page 37
Association Competitions and determination of Protests for initial
consideration by a Competitions Sub-Committee, with the
Management Committee providing an appellate function, but on
legal grounds only. This parallels the existing arrangements for
disciplinary matters, the intention being to free up Management
Committee time for development issues, but also providing an
avenue for appeal within the Association. At its AGM in 2014 the
Association agreed that this provision be continued for a further
year, subject to a review of the Guidelines in the light of
experience at the 2015 Spring Meeting. The following amended
guidelines have been approved :1.
The expression ‘Competitions Sub-Committee’ shall mean a
Committee comprising a maximum of seven persons elected
by the Executive of the Association at the Spring Meeting of
the Association, each from different clubs and serving for
three years, with any or all of its members being eligible for
re-election. At least two of the members must come from
clubs whose senior Grade team, at the time of their election,
is not in Grade 1. In the event of any member being unable
to act in any case due to previous involvement or club
affiliation s/he may be replaced by an alternate co-opted by
the remaining members of the Sub-Committee for
consideration of that matter only. A quorum of the Committee
shall be three members. Any vacancies arising through
resignation may be filled by co-option, subject to ratification
at the following Spring Meeting. The Committee shall appoint
its own Convener and Secretary.
2.
The remit of the Competitions Sub-Committee shall be to
investigate if necessary, consider, and reach an initial
determination on any alleged breach of the Rules of
Association
Competition
(including
Rules
for
player
registration) which may either be referred to it by the elected
President, Vice-President or Secretary of the Association, or
of which notice has been submitted by any member club
within the provisions of Association Rule 15 (Protests). The
Committee shall not however deal with matters of
indiscipline, falling within the scope of Rule 23. Clubs or
individuals wishing to draw any matter to the attention to the
Sub-Committee must submit this in the first instance to the
Secretary of the Association in writing, making clear to which
Rules the alleged breach or Protest relates, and should use
Page 38
the form provided on the Web site for this purpose. The SubCommittee shall transmit this in written form to the club or
individual under investigation.
3.
Unless with the written agreement of the Club or individual
under investigation, or both parties in event of a protest, a
meeting of the Sub-Committee must be convened, where
possible within ten days of reference or receipt of any
allegation. However, if it is considered that an alleged breach
of Rule or Protest may also constitute grounds for disciplinary
action, then that action shall be disposed of first, and the
timescales contained in subsequent provisions of these
guidelines shall run from the date of the conclusion of
disciplinary hearings, including any appeal. The Convener of
the Sub-Committee shall also have summary power to
dismiss any allegation or protest s/he considers frivolous, or
with agreement of all parties to impose a sanction of
Reprimand or a deduction of not more than ten league points,
subject always to the right of any Club or individual under
investigation, or which has submitted a Protest, to request a
personal hearing. For the avoidance of doubt, the subCommittee shall be entitled, if it considers it appropriate to do
so, to determine any procedural matters by electronic or
telephone discussion/communication between/among its
members.
4.
Any club or individual against whom an allegation has been
made will be entitled to be present or to have a
representative present to speak on her/his behalf at the
meeting of the sub-Committee to answer the allegation and
put forward any mitigation before a decision is reached and
any sanction imposed. If the allegation relates to a particular
match, the sub-Committee may require the captains on the
day of that match to attend any meeting held to consider that
allegation.
5.
Any club or player found by the Competitions Sub-Committee
to have committed an breach of Rules under paragraph (2)
above will have a right of appeal [but on grounds of
competence, bias, procedural irregularity, perversity, or a
point of law only] to the Management Committee provided
that a written notice setting out the grounds of appeal is
received by the Secretary of the Association within seven
Page 39
days of the notification of the decision of the Sub-Committee
and is accompanied by a deposit of £50. An appeal hearing
will be convened within ten days of receipt of any such
written appeal, with the player or club having the same rights
of attendance or representation as were available at the
original hearing. The Management Committee may confirm,
vary or reverse the decision of the Competitions SubCommittee but will have no power to increase any penalty
imposed. The Management Committee will also be
empowered to order the £50 deposit to be forfeited should it
consider an appeal to be frivolous, as to which it shall be the
sole judge. The decision of the Management Committee on
the appeal will be final. Any penalty imposed by the
Competitions Sub-Committee will be suspended pending the
outcome of any appeal. If a decision of the Competitions SubCommittee is set aside on legal grounds the Management
Committee shall be empowered, if in its absolute discretion it
considers this to be in the interests of a timely resolution,
then to re-hear the original allegation or protest itself; but in
that case may impose no penalty greater than that imposed
previously by the Competitions Sub-Committee.
6.
A member of the Competitions Sub-Committee or of the
Management Committee will not be permitted to participate in
the hearing of any case involving a player from the Club of
which s/he is a member or which arises from a game in which
her/his Club was involved.
7.
The sanctions available under this Rule shall be one of more
of the following: oral or written reprimand; suspension of a
player, players, or of a team from Association competitions
for a specified period; a fine on a club (but not on individuals)
not exceeding £50; deduction of not more than 30 league
points; or award of a match to the opposition.
8.
The standard of proof in proceedings under this Rule shall be
the civil standard – “more likely than not”.
9.
In interpreting and applying these Guidelines, regard shall be
had to the status of the Association as a voluntary
organisation controlled by its member clubs.
Actions or
decisions taken under these Guidelines shall therefore not be
invalidated by defects in procedure which are of a minor
Page 40
technical nature, where in the opinion of the Committee
concerned these do not result in any disadvantage to the
legitimate interests or rights of the Association, its members
clubs, or any individual.
COMMENTARY ON CHANGES MADE [References to numbered
Guidelines, as above]
1. To ensure that the Sub-Committee is broadly based, and
provide for the co-option of alternates where elected members
cannot serve.
2. To clarify the powers of the sub-Committee, to transfer
responsibility for reference of rule breaches from the
Management Committee, as this is a conflict of interest. To
provide improved procedures for the notification of cases by
complainants and to defendants
3. To provide that while the sub-Committee must normally meet,
this may be dispensed with if all parties agree. To provide for
summary disposal of cases, subject to the right of any party to
demand a personal hearing. To provide the sub-Committee may
confer on procedural matters by electronic means.
4. Clarification to existing wording.
5. To provide, subject to restrictions, that in the interests of
speedy resolution the Management Committee, if it allows an
appeal, may itself then re-hear the substance of a case, as it
can already modify a sanction, without need for reference back.
6. Addition of a clause recognising the status of the Association as
a voluntary body, and allowing for technical defects of
procedure to be set aside, where appropriate.
UMPIRING LBW & WIDE GUIDELINES
Disputes often arise when there are no neutral umpires
available, and some of those sent out to umpire are not too sure
of the rules, so to aid these umpires, below are some guidelines
for the LBW and WIDE rules that may help, as published by
Lord’s MCC Laws of Cricket
Page 41
LBW LAW 36
1. OUT LBW
The striker is out LBW in the circumstances set out below.
(a) The bowler delivers a ball, not being a No ball,
and (b) the ball, if it is not intercepted full pitch, pitches in line
between wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker’s
wicket,
and (c) the ball not having previously touched his bat, the striker
intercepts the ball, either full pitch or after pitching, with any part
of his person,
and (d) the point of impact, even if above the level of the bails,
either
(i) is between wicket and wicket, or
(ii) if the striker has made no genuine attempt to play the
ball with his bat, is either between wicket and wicket or
outside the line of the off stump.
and (e) but for the interception, the ball would have hit the
wicket.
Page 42
2. INTERCEPTION OF THE BALL
(a) In assessing points (c), (d) and (e) in 1 above, only the first
interception is to be considered.
(b) In assessing point (e) in 1 above, it is to be assumed that the
path of the ball before interception would have continued after
interception, irrespective of whether the ball might have pitched
subsequently or not.
3. OFF SIDE OF WICKET
The off side of the striker’s wicket shall be determined by the
striker’s stance at the moment the ball comes into play for that
delivery.
WIDE LAW 25
1. JUDGING A WIDE
(a) If the bowler bowls a ball, not being a No ball, the umpire
shall adjudge it a Wide if, according to the definition in (b) below,
in his opinion the ball passes wide of the striker where he is and
which also would have passed wide of him standing in a normal
guard position.
(b) The ball will be considered as passing wide of the striker
unless it is sufficiently within his reach for him to be able to hit it
with his bat by means of a normal cricket stroke.
2. DELIVERY NOT A WIDE
The umpire shall not adjudge a delivery as being a Wide,
(a) if the striker, by moving,
either (i) causes the ball to pass wide of him, as defined in 1(b)
above
or (ii) brings the ball sufficiently within his reach to be able to hit
it by means of a normal cricket stroke.
(b) if the ball touches the striker’s bat or person.
3. CALL AND SIGNAL OF WIDE BALL
(a) If the umpire adjudges a delivery to be a Wide he shall call
and signal Wide ball as soon as the ball passes the striker’s
wicket. It shall, however, be considered to have been a Wide
Page 43
from the instant of delivery, even though it cannot be called Wide
until it passes the striker’s wicket.
(b) The umpire shall revoke the call of Wide ball if there is then
any contact between the ball and the striker’s bat or person.
(c) The umpire shall revoke the call of Wide ball if a delivery is
called a No ball. See Law 24.11 (No ball to over-ride Wide).
4. BALL NOT DEAD
The ball does not become dead on the call of Wide ball.
5. PENALTY FOR A WIDE
A penalty of one run shall be awarded instantly on the call of
Wide ball. Unless the call is revoked (see 3(b) and (c) above),
this penalty shall stand even if a batsman is dismissed, and shall
be in addition to any other runs scored, any boundary allowance
and any other runs awarded for penalties.
6. RUNS RESULTING FROM A WIDE - HOW SCORED
All runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary allowance,
together with the penalty for the Wide, shall be scored as Wide
balls. Apart from any award of 5 penalty runs, all runs resulting
from a Wide shall be debited against the bowler.
7. WIDE NOT TO COUNT
A Wide shall not count as one of the over. See Law 22.3 (Validity
of balls).
8. OUT FROM A WIDE
When Wide ball has been called, neither batsman shall be out
under any of the Laws except 35 (Hit wicket), 37 (Obstructing
the field), 38 (Run out) or 39 (Stumped).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
------------------------------------------------------------------------NB The Laws of Cricket shall be adhered to within the spirit of the
game.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 44
WET WEATHER GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA
Disputes as to the fitness of the ground or weather for play are
inevitable from time to time and on the rare occasions when a
protest is made as a result of such a dispute the Management
Committee has the almost impossible task of determining the
rights and wrongs of the case without having been present at the
time of the dispute and with only the verbal accounts of the
protagonists upon which to base their decision.
At the request of the Committee of Inquiry held in 1988, the
Management Committee drew up, and has revised, the following
set of guidelines, which attempt to set out the procedures to be
followed and the criteria to be used in cases of doubt over the
fitness of the ground or weather for play. It is hoped that by
following these guidelines, Captains can come to an amicable
agreement and protests will not be necessary at all.
However, where there are no officially appointed Umpires and the
Captains cannot agree, then a protest can be made where one
Captain considers that the other is refusing to start, resume or to
continue play without good reason. Captains should bear in mind
that a protest should only be made as a last resort and only after
exhausting the procedures set out in the guidelines. If a protest is
made for this reason then both Captains must follow the
procedure as set out under "Making a Protest.”
While the following guidelines are just that - guidelines, the
Committee earnestly hopes that Captains will bear them in mind
in their discussions with their opposite number. The Committee
gives notice that where protests do come before the Committee,
failure by either or both Captains to adhere to these guidelines
may be taken into account in making a decision.
WET WEATHER GUIDELINES
1. INDEPENDENT GROUNDS-PERSON
Where an independent grounds-person refuses to allow play to
start or insists that play is suspended then her/his decision must
be accepted as final.
2. INDEPENDENT UMPIRES
Where Umpires have been appointed then Law 3.8 and 3.9 of the
2010 Code of Laws - “Fitness for Play” and “Suspension of play in
Page 45
dangerous or unreasonable conditions” - shall apply, and in
particular :(a) Fitness for Play
(i)
It is solely for the umpires together to decide
whether either conditions of ground, weather or
light or exceptional circumstances mean that it
would be dangerous or unreasonable for play to take
place.
Conditions shall not be regarded as either
dangerous or unreasonable merely because they are
not ideal.
(ii) Conditions shall be regarded as dangerous if there is
actual and foreseeable risk to the safety of any
player or umpire.
(iii) Conditions shall be regarded as unreasonable if,
although posing no risk to safety, it would not be
sensible for play to proceed.
(b) Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable
conditions
(i)
All references to ground include the pitch. See Law
7.1 (Area of pitch).
(ii) If at any time the umpires together agree that the
conditions of ground, weather or light, or any other
circumstances are dangerous or unreasonable, they
shall immediately suspend play, or not allow play to
start or to recommence.
(iii) When there is a suspension of play it is the
responsibility of the umpires to monitor conditions.
They shall make inspections as often as appropriate,
unaccompanied by any players or officials.
Immediately the umpires together agree that the
conditions are no longer dangerous or unreasonable
they shall call upon the players to resume play.
Page 46
Note: where only one Umpire has been appointed, then her/his
decision shall apply as above.
3. BEFORE THE TOSS FOR INNINGS
(a) No match should be postponed prior to the morning of the
match.
(b) If, during the morning of the match, the Captain of the
"Home" side is of the opinion that the ground is unfit for play
he should advise the Secretary or Captain of the "Away" side
at the latest before 11.30 a.m. (11:00 a.m. if more than 25
miles distance)
The "Away" club should then have the option of agreeing to the
postponement of the fixture, or, of insisting on a pitch
inspection 30 minutes before the scheduled starting time. In
this case, both teams and umpires, if appointed, should attend
at the ground in time to start the match at the scheduled time
if play is possible.
(c) On no account may the "Home" club postpone the fixture
without the agreement of the "Away" club. In the event of an
agreed postponement the "Home" club should
i) advise the Umpires (if appointed)
ii) advise the association Secretary
4. WHERE NO UMPIRES HAVE BEEN APPOINTED
It is IMPORTANT that the following guidelines as set out under part
4 are only to be considered where there are NO officially appointed
UMPIRES. Where UMPIRES have been officially appointed then
part 4 must be disregarded and parts. 1, 2 & 3 only shall apply.
4.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
i) Any decision concerning the fitness of the ground or
weather for play shall rest with the two Captains and with
the aid of the attached criteria; they shall decide on the
fitness of the ground or weather for play.
ii) For this purpose, the batsmen at the wicket may deputise
for their Captain but only as long as there is no dispute.
Should there be disagreement between the batsmen at the
Page 47
wicket and the Fielding Captain then the Batting Captain
should be called upon to confer with the Fielding Captain.
iii) Players and Captains should be aware that this is a
matter for Captains to decide and that players should refrain
from trying to influence the decision. For this reason it is
IMPORTANT that the Captains confer ALONE and that they
make every effort to reach an agreement.
4.2 WHEN PLAY IS IN PROGRESS
i) If, at any time during play, conditions deteriorate to such
an extent that continuing would be "unreasonable" (see
attached criteria), then the batsmen at the wicket or the
Fielding Captain may ask for a suspension of play. The
Batting Captain cannot ask for a suspension of play unless
s/he is one of the batsman at the wicket.
ii) If it agreed that play should be suspended then the
Captains must agree the time at which they will review the
situation. If it is close to tea-time the Captains may agree to
take an early tea interval.
iii) Should there be disagreement between the batsmen at
the wicket and the Fielding Captain the Batting Captain shall
be called upon to confer with the Fielding Captain.
iv) The Captains, with reference to the attached criteria,
must make every effort to come to an agreement. They
have the following options:a. agreeing to continue play
b. agreeing to suspend play subject to review at an
agreed time.
c. agreeing to continue play subject to a review after
an agreed number of overs have elapsed.*
d.
take an early tea-interval if appropriate.
*an over in progress shall count as a completed over
v) If the Captains cannot agree on one of these options,
they must record the reason for the disagreement and the
time, overs and score in both scorebooks. Play will then be
Page 48
suspended subject to a review after 15 minutes. At this
stage it is hoped that the weather will either improve or
deteriorate to such an extent that there is no further dispute
or in any event that the 15 minute suspension of play will
act as a "cooling off" period and that reason will prevail.
Players should at all times refrain from aggravating the
situation and the Captains especially should set a good
example in this regard.
4.3 WHEN PLAY IS NOT IN PROGRESS
(That is before the start of the match, during an interval,
during the change of innings or where play has been
suspended for any reason.)
i) If, while play is not in progress, weather or ground
conditions are such that to start or resume play would be
"unreasonable" (see criteria) then either Captain may ask
that the start or resumption of play be delayed. Note that
should conditions delay the scheduled start then the toss
may be delayed to 15 minutes before the agreed starting
time as under Law 12.4 the Toss.
ii) The Captains, with reference to the attached criteria,
must make every effort to come to an agreement. They
have the following options:a.
Agreeing to start or resume play.
b.
Agreeing to stay off subject to review at an agreed
time.
c.
Agreeing to start or resume play subject to a review
after an agreed number of overs have elapsed.
d.
Take an early tea-interval if appropriate.
e.
Agree to abandon the match.
iii) If the Captains agree to delay the start or resumption of
play then they must agree a time at which they will review
the situation. This delay should not be more than 30
minutes.
iv) If the Captains cannot agree on one of these options,
they must record the reason for the disagreement and the
Page 49
time, overs and score in both scorebooks. Play will then
remain suspended subject to a review after 15 minutes. At
this stage it is hoped that the weather will either improve or
deteriorate to such an extent that there is no further dispute
or in any event that the 15 minute further suspension of
play will act as a "cooling off" period and that reason will
prevail. Players should at all times refrain from aggravating
the situation and the Captains especially should set a good
example in this regard.
4.4 WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CAPTAINS STILL CANNOT
AGREE?
i) In nearly all cases the above procedures should, if common
sense prevails, produce an 'agreement of some sort. To get to
the stage of recording one "official" disagreement in the
scorebook should be a rare occurrence and two recorded
disagreements should be rarer still.
ii) The Management Committee hopes that the process of
recording the disagreement will concentrate the Captains
minds and that protests will therefore be unnecessary but
should the situation arise that there have been THREE
recorded disagreements, and that after the latest period of 15
minutes, agreement is still not possible then the match shall be
abandoned.
iii) The options open to the Captains at this point are as
follows:a.
Both Captains may agree to let the result stand, (i.e.
match
abandoned as void, subject to Rule 16 if a
replay is required).
b.
Either Captain may lodge a protest with the
Management Committee if s/he considers that the
opposition Captain has consistently refused to start,
continue or resume play without good reason.
5. MAKING A PROTEST
If either Captain wishes to claim the match by lodging a formal
protest to the Management Committee s/he must:a.
Inform the opposition Captain there and then - .i.e. before
leaving the ground.
Page 50
b.
Make sure that both scorebooks are signed by both
Captains as they should be in any case.
c.
Intimate the protest in "writing to the Secretary of the
Association, to reach him no later than five days, including
Sunday, following the date on which the match was
played." The protest "must be accompanied by a fee of
£25."
6. ACTION OF MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE ON RECEIPT OF
PROTEST
On receipt of a protest from a Club claiming the match as in 5
the Management Committee shall:
a.
Arrange a meeting of the Management Committee and
b.
Invite both the Captains (or persons acting as Captain on
the day in question) to attend and to bring with them a
written account of the events as they saw them, their
scorebook and any other evidence they see fit.
The Management Committee may view the protest as "frivolous"
(under Rule 15 of the Constitution) if the procedures in part 4 of
these guidelines have not been observed by the Captain of the
protesting Club, or if the Captain of the protesting Club fails to
attend the meeting or to bring with him the scorebook or a
written account, or if the fee has not been paid.
Similarly, if the Captain of the club defending the protest has
failed to observe part 4 of these guidelines, or fails to attend the
meeting or bring with him the scorebook and a written account
this may be taken into account by the Committee in reaching its
decision.
The Management Committee, under the Constitution, is only
allowed to make one of two decisions, namely:i)
they can uphold the protest and award the match to the
protesting Club.
ii)
they can turn down the protest. In this event the match
shall be void unless Rule 16 applies and a replay is
required.

WET WEATHER CRITERIA
"UNREASONABLE" CONDITIONS:
The following ground or weather conditions are to be considered
"unreasonable" for starting, continuing, or resuming play:1. Heavy rain, which wets players through.
2. Lighter rain driven by a strong wind.
3. Water pooling on the pitch or on the outfield within 25 yards
of the pitch.
4. Wet ground on the pitch or bowlers run-ups such that the
batsmen or bowlers cannot run
or turn with safety. A
slight restriction in foothold is not however "unreasonable".
5. Water rising round ones feet when the pitch is subject to foot
pressure.
6. Water splashing up when the ball pitches.
7. Foggy or misty conditions where the pitch is not visible from
the boundary.
8. Where, the bowler or either batsman normally plays in
spectacles and their vision is being seriously affected by rain
obscuring the lenses. Wearing a cap 'can often help in this
situation.
NOT "UNREASONABLE" CONDITIONS:
The following ground or weather conditions should not be
considered as "unreasonable" and are therefore not sufficient
reasons for suspending, not starting or not resuming play:
1. Light rain which may be unpleasant but does not wet
through or seriously affect the wicket but which may make
the ball slippery or difficult to control.
2. Wet slippery grass or small pools of water outwith 25 yards
of the pitch.
3. Light mist or fog where visibility is such as to allow the pitch
to seen from the boundary. The scorers may have to take up
their position at the boundary if necessary.
4. Soft wet pitches which may make batting difficult but are not
so bad that they are "unreasonable" under points 3 to 6
above.
Page 52
5. Players who cannot obtain sufficient footholds in wet
conditions because they are wearing unsuitable footwear.
(But see Note below).
NOTE: (Where the match is being played on an artificial wicket
however and bowlers and batsmen are compelled to wear nonspiked footwear then the condition of the bowler's run up may well
make play impossible if the bowler's run up is dangerous in nonspiked footwear).

AC-SCDG LEAGUE NOTES
NATIONAL PRIMARY SCHOOL KWIK CRICKET RULES 2015
The Network Rail National Primary Schools’ Cup is a Kwik Cricket (8-aside) pair’s tournament for boys and girls who are in P6 (and/or below)
at the commencement of the tournament. The rules & regulations are
to be adopted for all regional qualifying competitions – and will be used
at Finals Day, in Perth, in June 2015.
ORGANISATION
1. Teams will consist of 8 players, with a minimum of 3 girls per
team. (A school may use a squad of up to 10 at any event.)
2. Teams will consist of players from P6 and below.
3. Unless stated otherwise in this document the Laws of Cricket will
apply – and the MCC Spirit of Cricket should be upheld.
4. The pitch (please see the pitch layout diagram for further
assistance) :
a. is 16 yards in length
b. The following markings will be made on the pitch:
i.
Two parallel ‘bowling’ creases at each end of the pitch
(i.e. 16 yards apart) extending 1 metre either side of
middle stump, with the position of middle stump marked
with a cross on the line.
ii.
A ‘batting’ crease parallel to the ‘bowling’ crease (known
as the ‘popping’ crease), shall be marked at each end of
the pitch. This ‘batting’ crease shall be the same length
as the ‘bowling’ crease and will be marked 1.22 metres
(4 feet) away from the ‘bowling’ crease, towards the
middle of the pitch.
iii.
A cross, 0.3 metres (1 foot) in front of the ‘batting’
crease and directly on the imaginary line between the
two middle stumps, shall be marked at the end of the
pitch where the batters strike the ball.
Page 86
JUNIOR PITCH LAYOUT
Page 87
BATTING AND SCORING
1. Both teams begin with a score of 200
2. Both teams will bat for 8 overs
a. Batters will bat for 2 overs in pairs
b. They are not replaced by another batter when dismissed
3. Runs are added as they are scored in the conventional way and
also when No Balls and Wide deliveries are bowled (see 6.
below)
4. If a batter is dismissed they must not face the next delivery and
a. Five (5) runs will be taken from the total
b. NB: Batters may have to swap ends to ensure the dismissed
batter does not face the next delivery
5. Batters can be out by being
a. bowled
b. caught
c. hit wicket
d. run out ( for the purposes of simplicity in introducing the
game there is no distinction between stumping and run out,
i.e. whatever the circumstance if a batter is out of his/her
ground when the wicket is broken the will be deemed to be
run out).
e. A batter can still be out on a free hit
6. No Balls and Wide deliveries
a. Either umpire will call and signal No ball for a delivery
i.
that does not bounce and is above the batter’s shoulderheight or
ii. for a delivery that bounces more than twice before it
reaches the crease line at the batter’s end.
b. A delivery is deemed to be Wide if, in the opinion of the
striker’s end umpire, it is not within reach of the striker.
c. When a No Ball or Wide delivery is bowled the batter is
entitled to a ‘Free ‘hit or a ‘T-ball’
i.
The free hit will be made from the batting tee.
ii. The ball must be hit in front of the crease line at the
striker’s stumps (i.e. ‘in front of square’)
iii. The batter only has one chance to swing.
Page 88
iv. The ‘T’ ball is a free hit and not counted as the next
delivery.
v. The ‘T’ is placed by the square leg umpire on the cross
marked in front of the crease at the strikers end (it must
be placed behind the stumps before the next ball is
bowled).
vi. The scoring for these ‘T’ ball deliveries includes 2 for the
Wide/No Ball + any runs + score made on the free hit.
(The striker can still be dismissed from the free hit too.)
BOWLING AND FIELDING
1. Each fielder must bowl once.
2. Bowlers will bowl over arm.
3. Fielders
a. Are only allowed to stand within 8 yards/10 metres of the
striker if they are fielding behind the stumps at the strikers
end
b. Are not allowed to move on a free hit unless the batter’s
have changed ends (i.e. completed a run)
THE RESULT
1. The team with the most runs at the completion of both innings
will be the winner.
2. In the event of the runs scored is tied:
a. the team that has lost fewer wickets will be adjudged the
winners,
b. If the teams cannot be separated then the team scoring the
most boundaries (i.e. 4s and 6s) will be the
3. winners,
c. If still equal then the team scoring the most boundary 6s will
be the winners.
d. A tie will only be declared when all of the above are equal.

SAFETY GUIDANCE FOR YOUNG PLAYERS
The England and Wales Cricket Board has issued new safety guidance
on the wearing of cricket helmets by young players
• It is recommended that a helmet be worn by young players when
batting and when standing up to the stumps when keeping wicket
against a hard cricket ball in matches and practice.
• A young player should not be able to bat or stand up to the stumps
when keeping wicket without a helmet against a hard ball except with
written parental consent. Coaches, teachers, managers and umpires
should always ensure that a young player wears a helmet if this
written parental consent has not been received.
• Players should regard a helmet with a faceguard as a normal item of
protective equipment when batting against a hard ball, together with
pads, gloves and for boys, an abdominal protector (box)
• There is a British Standard (BS7928:1998) for cricket helmets and it
is in the best interest of players to ensure that their helmet conforms
to this standard.
The ECB has also extended the existing regulations covering the
minimum fielding distances for young players in all matches where a
hard ball is used.
• No young player in the under 15 age group or younger shall be
allowed to field closer than 8 yards (7.3 metres) from the middle
stump, except behind the wicket on the off side, until the batsman
has played the ball.
• For players in the under 13 age group and below the distance is 11
yards (10 metres)
• These minimum distances apply even if the player is wearing a
helmet.
• Should a young player in these age groups come within the restricted
distance the umpire must stop the game immediately and instruct the
fielder to move back.
• In addition any young player in the under 16 to under 18 age groups,
who has not reached the age of 18, must wear a helmet and, for
boys, an abdominal protector (box) when fielding within 6 yards (5.5
meters) of the bat, except behind the stumps on the offside. Players
should wear appropriate protective equipment whenever they are
fielding in a position where they feel at risk.
• These fielding restrictions are applicable to all cricketers in England
and Wales. Age groups are based on the age of the player at midnight
on the 31st August in the year proceeding the current season.
Page 91
OVERBOWLING
This is an important consideration especially for young bowlers whose
bodies are not fully developed. Recent studies have revealed that overbowling is the most common cause of back injuries in this country.
Evidence suggests that much of the damage occurs early in the playing
career, and especially during growth spurts, though the effects do not
often show themselves until the late teens. The more talented and
more physically mature youngsters are generally most at risk, as they
tend to play at more than one age group level.
To ensure that young fast* bowlers do not place undue stress on their
bodies, every attempt must be made to keep the amount of bowling
within reasonable limits. The following Directives provide sensible
playing and training levels.

These figures are based on players bowling in no more than 3 matches
or practice sessions per week for age groups up to and including U-15,
and 4 matches or practice sessions per week for age groups up to and
including U-19. Players can play in other matches provided they do not
bowl.
Having completed a spell the bowler cannot bowl again, from either
end, until the equivalent numbers of overs to the length of her/his spell
have been bowled from the same end. If play is interrupted, for any
reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of
Page 92
the interruption up to the maximum number of overs per spell for the
appropriate age groups.
If the spell is not continued after the interruption the bowler cannot
bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs the
length of her/his spell before interruption have been bowled from the
same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more whether
scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell immediately.
Once a bowler covered by these directives has bowled in a match, s/he
cannot exceed the maximum number of overs per day for her/his age
group even if s/he subsequently bowls spin. S/he can exceed the
maximum overs per spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to
bowling fast until an equivalent number of overs to the length of
her/his spell have been bowled from the same end.
If s/he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in
a spell the maximum will apply as soon as s/he reverts to bowling fast.
* For the purpose of these guidelines a fast bowler should be defined as a bowler to
whom a wicket keeper in the same age group would in normal circumstances stand
back to take the ball.

NEW CRICKET HEAD PROTECTOR TESTING STANDARD
(More commonly known as the Helmet testing standard)
The ECB, PCA and the ICC have worked with BSi and head protector
manufacturers to develop a new specification for the testing of head
protection for cricketers. This specification has recently been approved
by BSi Group, which is the national body responsible for producing
appropriate safety standards in the UK. With cricketers and bowling
machines able to deliver cricket balls at high speeds, and given the
obvious importance of protecting against head injuries wherever
possible, head protectors are an essential part of a cricketer’s kit.
It is important that individuals understand how the new specification
will apply to head protectors on sale from Spring/Summer 2014.
The key features of the new specification, BS7928:2013, are:
1 it now includes a facial contact projectile test that assesses for
penetration of the ball through the faceguard, and contact of the
faceguard onto the face, using realistic ball impact speeds and
conditions; and
2. head protectors have been tested separately against men’s and
junior sized cricket balls (a five-and-a-half ounce ball and a four-andthree-quarter ounce ball, respectively).
Head protectors that have been tested against the new standard will be
clearly labelled with “BS7928:2013” and will contain clear labelling
setting out whether a head protector has been tested against (i) men’s
standard ball size of 5 ½ ounces, (ii) junior standard ball size of 4 ¾
ounces, or (iii) both men’s and junior size balls.
The manufacturers have advised that there is currently no specific
women’s head protector and so there is no specific standard for
women’s cricket head protectors. As the size of the standard women’s
cricket ball is between the standard men and junior balls, it is
recommended that women use head protectors that have been tested
against both the men’s and junior sized ball or at least against the
junior size ball (as the smaller ball could potentially get through the
gap above the face guard on a men’s head protector).
From 30 June 2014, the old BSI standard for cricket head protectors
(BS7928:1998) will be withdrawn and the ECB therefore recommends
that all new head protectors brought to market are tested against the
new standard. However, head protectors which have already been
tested against the old standard can and will continue to be available for
sale and will not be withdrawn from the market.
In light of this, the ECB has issued this guidance to ensure that the
public understands the meaning and merits of the new specification
(and consequent labelling that will soon be introduced) and therefore to
Page 101
enable the public to make an informed decision as to which head
protector to use.
Finally, whilst the ECB considers that head protectors are an essential
part of a cricketer’s kit to mitigate the risk of injury, it must be
remembered that wearing a head protector and faceguard (whether or
not it has been tested against the new standard) cannot always
prevent death, injury or disability
