Cricket is a game that owes much of its unique appeal to the fact that it is
expected to be played not only within its laws, but also within the SPIRIT OF
THE GAME. Any action, which is seen to abuse this spirit, causes injury to the
game itself. The major responsibility for ensuring the spirit of fair play rests
with the Captains.
1.
There are two Laws, which place the responsibility for the team’s conduct
firmly on the Captain.
Responsibilities of Captains
The Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted
within the Spirit of the Game as well as within the Laws.
Players’ Conduct
In the event of any player failing to comply with the instructions of an
umpire, criticising his decisions by word or action, or showing dissent, or
generally behaving in a manner which might bring the game into disrepute,
the umpire concerned shall, in the first place, report the matter to the other
umpire and to the player’s Captain requesting the latter to take action.
2. Fair and Unfair Play
According to the Laws the umpires are the sole judges of Fair and Unfair
Play. The umpires may intervene at any time and it is the responsibility of the
Captain to take action where required.
3. The umpires are authorised to intervene in cases of: *Time wasting *Damaging the pitch.
*Intimidatory bowling. *Tampering with the ball.
*Any other action that they feel to be unfair.
4. The Spirit of the Game involves RESPECT for: *Your opponents. *Your own Captain and team.
*The role of the umpire. *The game’s traditional values.
5. It is against the Spirit of the Game: To question an umpire’s decision by word or gesture.
To direct abusive language towards an opponent or umpire.
Indulge in cheating or in any sharp practice, e.g.
(a) appeal, knowing that the batsman is not out.
(b) advance towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing.
(c) seek to distract an opponent either verbally or by harassment with
persistent clapping or unnecessary noise under the guise of enthusiasm and
motivation of one’s own side.
6.Violence
There is no place for any act of violence on the field of play.
7. Overall Conduct
Players, Captains and umpires together set the tone for the conduct of a
cricket match, and every player is expected to make an important contribution
to this.

closure, the side batting second, if it has not been dismissed, shall be entitled to
bat for the bowling of the number of overs as received by the team batting first or
the number of overs commensurate with the Actual Batting Time available until the
scheduled time for the match to cease (by reference to the Calculator Table as per
P.R.9.3 (b), whichever is the greater).
These overs are a minimum requirement.
Note: The minimum over requirement will be made as two calculations if the first
innings of the side batting second commences on day one (i.e. a number of overs that
must be completed by the end of day one plus the over requirement for day two = the
total minimum over requirement).
(a) If both sides complete a first innings within the scheduled hours, the match
shall be continued until the scheduled cessation time, unless play ceases under
P.R.16.11 (b).
(b) By agreement of both Captains, a match may end on the second day at any time
after 5.00 pm.
16.12. Fast Short Pitched Deliveries Limit
16.12.1 Fast Short Pitched Limit Per Over
(a) A bowler shall be limited to 2 fast short pitched deliveries per over.
A fast short pitched ball is defined as one which passes or would have passed
above the shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease.
(b) Should a third such delivery be bowled, in an over, either umpire shall call and
signal No Ball and caution the bowler in accordance with Law 42.7 (a).
(c) If the bowler is “No Balled” for the same offence a third time in the innings the
final warning and removal procedures of Law 42.7 shall be invoked as applicable.
16.12.2. Fast Short Pitched Limit Delivery Not Within Striker’s Reach
Any fast short pitched delivery, not being a No Ball otherwise, which passes so high
that it is not sufficiently within the striker’s reach for it to be hit by the bat with a
normal cricket stroke, shall be called and signalled Wide Ball by the umpire at the
bowler’s end. Such a delivery shall be counted in the fast short pitched limit of two
allowed in P.R.16.12.1.
16.13. Dangerous and Unfair Bowling: Slow High Full Pitched Deliveries
The dangerous and unfair bowling provisions of Law 42 shall apply except that a
slow high full pitched delivery above shoulder height of an upright striker, if considered not to have been deliberately so bowled, shall be called and signalled “No Ball”
only. No cautionary and other action shall be taken.
16.14. The Over
If an over can be started before the time fixed for play to cease, under P.R.16.1, it
shall be started, and time shall not be called until the over is finished, irrespective
of whether a wicket and/or wickets fall or not, unless weather or light conditions
prevent further play prior to the scheduled or re-scheduled cessation time, or unless
an innings is compulsorily closed during the over.
44
16.15. Over Rates
Minimum Over Requirements
In each match a bowling side shall be required to bowl a minimum number of overs
commensurate with the amount of on-field batting time hereinafter referred to as
“Actual Batting Time”.
16.16. The required overs shall be the number listed in the Calculator Table for Two-Day
Matches in respect of an adjusted batting time calculated by aggregating the actual
batting times and deducting from this aggregate any allowances under P.R.16.18.
PENALTIES:
16.17. Bowling Side: Penalty Assessment
If a bowling side bowls less than the number of overs required under P.R.16.16,
the umpires may assess the number of overs which they consider should have been
bowled, and shall advise this assessment in their Match Report.
The VSDCA Executive shall maintain a register of reported clubs (and shall advise
such clubs accordingly). Should the permitted allowance for the season of 10 overs
be exceeded, a penalty of 0.05% shall apply for each subsequent over, which shall be
deducted from the aggregate percentage quotient of the responsible side.
16.18. Allowances for On-field Delays
The allowances to the bowling side shall be actual time for injuries requiring treatment or assistance to leave the field, ball replacement, adverse weather effects, other
on-field delays unrelated to time wasting and any wilful time wasting for which the
batting side is to be penalised under P.R.16.19.
16.19. Batting Side: Penalty Assessment
A batting side shall be penalised at the same rate per over as in P.R.16.17 for the
number of overs relative to the amount of batting time wilfully wasted by it in the
match.
16.20. Penalties shall not apply in an innings where a side is dismissed, declares its innings
closed or where the side batting second passes the required score, prior to the specified finishing time.
When play has commenced on any day and is subsequently abandoned for the day
resulting in the loss of playing time exceeding 60 minutes, penalties shall not apply.
16.21. Penalty overs may apply if the Captains agree to end the match under P.R.16.7(b) or
P.R.16.8(b) and the minimum number of overs has not been bowled at that time.
16.22. The umpires shall keep a record of all delays or interruptions in a loss of playing time
and shall be the sole judges of apportionment of penalty overs.
16.23. Notification of Infringements and Penalties.
Within 15 minutes after the conclusion of each day’s play, the Captain or representative from each of the competing clubs shall consult the umpires to ascertain if there
are any player reports, over penalties or any other infringements of the rules. The
number of overs incurring a penalty and the apportionment to each side shall be
noted in the space provided on the Umpires’ Match Report Form.
45
16.24. Result of Matches
Except as provided for otherwise, and if the match is not played to a further result,
the winner on the first innings shall be the side scoring the greater number of runs,
irrespective of wickets lost, provided always that in an event of the side batting second having scored the lesser number of runs, that side has received at least the same
number of overs as received by the side batting first.
Except as provided for in the preceding paragraphs, any match not decided in the
time allotted for play shall be considered as drawn, but in the event of an equality in
the aggregate number of runs:
(a) in which one side has a completed innings and the other side has an incomplete
innings the match shall be a tie on the first innings; and
(b) in which both sides have two innings one of which is not completed, the match
shall be decided by the first innings provided that the team which had not completed its second innings was leading on the first innings. If the team, which had
not completed its second innings, was not leading on the first innings the match
shall be an outright tie.
16.25. Disregarding of Toss
If the Captains have tossed preliminary to a match scheduled to be a Two-Day fixture, but no play takes place on the first appointed day owing to weather conditions,
cancelled under P.R.16.1, or for other reasons, and the match becomes a one-day
fixture, the Captains shall toss again on the second day.

17.2.2. Delayed or Interrupted Innings
(a) If time is lost during the first batting side’s innings the relevant anticipated batting time in P.R.17.2.1 shall be reduced by one-half of the difference between
the aggregate time lost and the time by which the interval is to be reduced.
(b) The overs for compulsory closure shall then be adjusted to the number listed in
the Calculation Table in P.R.17.12 in respect of the reduced anticipated batting
time.
(c) If the overs already bowled equal or exceed the reduced number as in (b), then

first side’s deciding score which, subject to the provision for a draw in P.R.17.5.3,
must be exceeded by the second side for a win or equalled for a tie.
17.5.3. Drawn Match
If the side batting second receives less than 25 completed overs and no other
result has been obtained, the match shall be drawn.
17.5.4. Calculation of Deciding Score
(a) Where the overs received or to be received by the side batting second are
not less than 25 completed overs the deciding score, subject to adjustments
required by (c), shall be the aggregate of all runs made from the first batting
side’s highest scoring overs equivalent in number to the second side’s overs
less 0.5% runs for each over of the difference between the maximum set for

Recording of Highest Scoring Overs on VSDCA Calculation Form.
During the first batting side’s innings, in addition to normal recording, the scorers
shall prepare a list of the separate totals of the runs scored in each over including all
extras other than for 5 Runs Penalties. This list and a further list of 5 Runs Penalties

RULE 18: OVER RATES - ONE-DAY MATCHES (All XIs)
18.1.1. Minimum Overs Requirement
In each One-Day match a bowling side shall be required to bowl a minimum number
of overs commensurate with the amount of on-field batting time hereinafter referred
to as “Actual Batting Time”.
18.1.2. The required overs shall be the number listed on the table in P.R.17.12 in respect of
an adjusted batting time calculated by aggregating the “Actual Batting Time” and
deducting from this aggregate any allowances under P.R.18.2.2.
18.2.PENALTIES
18.2.1. Bowling Side: Penalty Assessment
If a bowling side bowls less than the number of overs required under P.R.18.1.2,
53
the umpires may assess the number of overs which they consider should have been
bowled, and shall advise this assessment in their Match Report.
The VSDCA Executive shall maintain a register of reported clubs (and shall advise
such clubs accordingly). Should the permitted allowance for the season of 10 overs
be exceeded, a penalty of 0.05% shall apply for each subsequent over, which shall
be deducted from the aggregate percentage quotient of the responsible side (refer
P.R.16.17).
18.2.2. Allowances for On-field Delays
The allowances to the bowling side shall be actual time for injuries requiring treatment or assistance to leave the field, ball replacement, adverse weather effects, other
on-field delays unrelated to time wasting and any wilful time wasting for which the
batting side is to be penalised under P.R.18.2.3.
18.2.3. Batting Side: Penalty Assessment
A batting side shall be penalized at the same rate per over as in P.R.18.2.1 for the
number of overs relative to the amount of batting time wilfully wasted by it in the
match.
18.2.4. Penalties shall not apply in an innings where a side is dismissed or where the side
batting second passes the required score and the adjusted batting time taken did not
exceed that listed in P.R.17.12 for the overs which would have applied to compulsorily close the innings.
18.2.5. The umpires shall be the sole judges of apportionment of Penalty Overs.
18.2.6. Notification of Infringements and Penalties
Within 15 minutes after the conclusion of the day’s play, the Captain or representative from each of the competing clubs shall consult the umpires to ascertain if there
are any player reports, over penalties or any other infringements of the Rules. The
number of overs incurring a penalty and the apportionment to each side shall be
noted in the space provided on the Umpires’ Match Report Form.

Interrupted matches
If a match is delayed or interrupted, 10 overs per side will constitute a minimum
match requirement.
Calculation of deciding score
Where the overs received or to be received by the side batting second are not fewer
than 10 completed overs, the deciding score shall be aggregate of all runs made from
the first batting side’s highest scoring overs equivalent in number to the second side’s
overs less 0.5% runs for each over of the difference between the maximum set for the
first side and the overs for the second side. If the first side is dismissed in less than the
set number, the remained shall be deemed to have been received as nil scoring overs
and included in the calculation as such. A resulting fraction shall be disregarded. The
calculation format is outlined in the following table:
A - Overs entitlement for first side
B - Overs - second side
C - Excess overs to first side (A - B)
D - Percent reduction to E (0.5% x C)%
E - Runs from highest scoring overs equal to overs in B
F - Runs to be deducted from E (E x D)
G - Deciding score unless Penalty Runs apply (E - F disregarding final fraction)
H - Penalty Runs to be added (G + H)
I - Deciding score
If the match is delayed or interrupted during the innings of the team batting first, the
overs requirement shall be reduced by 1 over for each 4 minutes of time lost or part
thereof.
The innings of the side batting first will be compulsorily closed after the completion
of its entitlement overs. If the entitlement overs are not completed within the scheduled time, then the entitlement overs of the side batting second may be reduced by
the number of full overs bowled after the scheduled completion time.
Before any reduction in entitlement overs, the umpires must be satisfied any over
bowled after the scheduled completion time was sole responsibility of the bowling
side. Allowances must be made for injuries requiring treatment or assistance to leave
the field, ball replacement, adverse weather effects, other on-field delays unrelated to
time-wasting and any wilful time-wasting.
The umpires shall be the sole judges as to whether the side batting second has its
entitlement overs reduced.
If the side batting second receives less than 10 completed overs and no other result
has been obtained, that match shall be drawn.
The Result
When there is no interruption after play has commenced and when both sides have
had the opportunity of batting for the same agreed number of overs, the team scoring
the higher number of runs shall be the winner.

19.10. Fielding Restrictions
(a) Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semi-circles shall have as their centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles shall be 27 metres. The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the field. The field
ing restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or ‘dots’ at 7-metre intervals, each’dot’ to be covered by white plastic or rubber (but not metal) discs.

19.11. Bowling Procedure
(a) Overs 1-5 are bowled from one end, overs 6-10 are bowled from
the other end, etc.
(b) At the end of each over, only the two batsmen change ends. Apart from the
normal field position changes, the fieldsmen only change after each fiveover
block. At the end of each five-over block, the batsmen remain at the same end.
(c) No bowler shall bowl more than 4 overs in an innings.
19.12. Declarations
The captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time
during the course of a match.
19.13. Free Hit after a Foot Fault No Ball
(a) The delivery following a No Ball called for a foot fault (Law 24.5) shall be a
free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not
a legitimate delivery (any kind of No Ball or wide), then the next delivery will
become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.
(b) For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances
that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide.
56
(c) Field changes will only be permitted for free hit deliveries if a different batsman is on strike for the free hit delivery.
19.14. Wide Ball
(a) Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in
regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.
Any off side or leg side delivery that in the opinion of the umpire does not
give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide.
(b) As a guide, a delivery that passes outside the leg stump without any contact
with the striker’s bat or person shall be a wide unless the ball passes between
the striker and the stumps.
(c) As a guide, a ball passing the batsman on the off side more than 75 cm wide
of the off stump shall be called a wide.
19.15. Law 31 - Timed Out
Law 31 will apply. Either the incoming batsman or his partner, whichever the
circumstances of the match require, must be in position to take guard to be ready
to receive the next ball within 1 minute 30 seconds of the fall of the previous
wicket. The incoming batsman is expected to be ready near the boundary to make
his way to the wicket immediately a wicket falls and is expected to jog to the
wicket.

T20 TWILIGHT
COMPETITION RULES
1
Playing Conditions
The Laws of Cricket (2000 Code - 5th Edition 2013) and Pennant Rules, except as varied
hereunder, shall apply.
2
Duration of Match & Nomination of Teams
The matches will consist of one innings per side, each innings being limited to a maximum of 20 overs.
Teams shall be 11 per side and shall be nominated as per P.R.9.2.
3
Each club will be required to play a minimum of 3 registered players from their club
under the age of 21 (as per the 1st September of the current season), and also have the
option to play one guest or invitation player. The guest or invitation player can play in
Semi-Final or Final matches as long as they have played in at least one Preliminary
match.
3.1 Any player(s) serving a suspension at the time of a scheduled T20 match is ineligible to
play. A suspended player may not count a T20 match towards reducing his suspension.
4
Hours of Play and Intervals
Standard Scheduled Start and Cessation Times are as follows:
First Session
5.30 pm – 6.45 pm
Interval
6.45 pm – 6.55 pm
Second Session 6.55 pm – 8.10 pm
Note: Start times may only be altered with the approval of the Captains and umpires or
the Executive Committee
Intervals
Intervals between innings shall be of 10 minutes duration. No drinks intervals are permitted.
If no play is possible, or the match is a tie or no result, a “bowl out” may take place (refer
Rule 7.2 for details).
If no play is possible due to wet weather, the game will be abandoned and each club will
be awarded 3 points.
5 Length of Innings
5.1 Uninterrupted matches
Each team shall bat for 20 overs unless dismissed. If the team batting first is dismissed
in fewer than 20 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for 20 overs.
If the bowling side fails to bowl its quota of 20 overs within the 75 minutes allocated,
the bowling side will be penalised 8 runs for every whole over not completed within the
allocated time. In applying the penalty the umpires can make allowances to the bowling
side for injuries requiring treatment or assistance in leaving the field, ball replacement or
any other on-field delays.
5.2 Interrupted matches
69
If a match is delayed or interrupted 5 overs per side will constitute a minimum match
requirement.
5.2.1Where the overs received or to be received by the side batting second are not fewer than
5 completed overs the deciding score shall be the aggregate of all runs made from the
first batting side’s highest scoring overs equivalent in number to the second side’s overs
less 0.5% runs for each over of the difference between the maximum set for the first side
and the overs for the second side. If the first side is dismissed in less than the set number
the remainder shall be deemed to have been received as nil scoring overs and included in
the calculation as such. A resulting fraction shall be disregarded. The calculation format
is outlined in the following table:
CALCULATION OF DECIDING SCORE
A - Overs entitlement for first side
B - Overs - second side
C - Excess overs to first side (A - B)
D - Percent reduction to E (0.5 x C)%
E - Runs from highest scoring overs equal to overs in B
F - Runs to be deducted from E (E x D)
G - Deciding score unless Penalty Runs apply (E - F disregarding final fraction)
H - Penalty Runs to be added (G + H)
I - Deciding score
5.3 If the match is delayed or interrupted during the innings of the team batting first the overs
requirement shall be reduced by 1 over for each 4 minutes of time lost or part thereof.
5.4 The innings of the side batting first will be compulsorily closed after the completion of
the over in progress at 6.45 p.m. or the completion of 5 overs whichever happens later.
The team batting second shall be entitled to bat for only the same number of overs as
bowled to the side batting first.
5.5 If the side batting second receives less than 5 completed overs and no other result has
been obtained, that match shall be drawn.
6 Use of Balls
Each participating team shall be responsible for supplying a new white approved ball for
the commencement of the first innings.
7 The Result
7.1 When there is no interruption after play has commenced and when both sides have had
the opportunity of batting for the same agreed number of overs, the team scoring the
higher number of runs shall be the winner.
7.2Bowl-Out
In the event of a tie (either the number of runs scored or as a result of the Deciding
Score Calculation) or no result (apart from a washout where no play has taken place), if
circumstances permit, a ‘bowl-out’ will be contested to achieve a result. Umpires shall
be the sole judges whether circumstances permit. The bowl-out shall occur as follows:
7.2.1 Bowl-out procedures
(a) Subject to weather conditions the bowl out will take place on the scheduled day of
the match at a time to be determined by the umpires. In normal circumstances the
bowl-out shall commence 15 minutes after the conclusion of the match.
70
(b) The bowl-out will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated
pitch) unless otherwise determined by the umpires in consultation with the ground
authority.
(c) A full set of stumps, including bails, will be pitched at both ends of the designated
pitch.
(d) The bowlers will all bowl from the same end to be determined by the umpires.
(e) The umpires shall select the ball (not a new one) and both sides will use it. If this ball
becomes wet, the umpires shall replace it with one that has similar wear.
(f) Five minutes prior to the start of the bowl-out, the Captains shall toss a coin for the
right to decide which team bowls first or second in the bowl-out. The umpires will
supervise the toss.
(g) The Captains shall nominate their 5 bowlers in writing to the umpires prior to the
toss. Such bowlers must be from the 11 nominated players for that match. The wicket
keeper may be one of the nominated bowlers in which case one of the players not
nominated as a bowler in the bowl-out shall perform the wicket keeping responsibilities during the bowl-out.
(h) Following the toss the nominated bowlers (and, if the Captain is not one of the bowlers), the Captain, the wicket keepers and the coaches from each side will take up a
position on the field at mid wicket/extra cover outside the fielding circle.
(i) The on-field umpires shall take up their normal positions at the bowler’s end and at
square leg respectively.
(j) The nominated bowlers shall each bowl a delivery making a total of 10 deliveries (5
from each team). The deliveries are taken alternatively by the teams. The bowlers
must bowl in the same sequence as the list of players nominated and communicated
by the team captains to the umpires prior to the toss for the bowl- out. The team with
the most number of hits after 5 deliveries each shall be declared the winner.
(k) If, after both teams have bowled 5 deliveries, both have scored the same number of
hits on the wicket, or have not scored any hits, a second series of deliveries must
be started with the same players, subject to injury (see point “l” below), and shall
continue until one team has scored a hit more than the other from the same number of
deliveries. That team shall be declared the winner. The sequence of bowlers need not
be the same as in the previous series and the Captain shall have the freedom of choice
at the time of each delivery as to which of the 5 nominated bowlers shall bowl. In the
second series, all 5 nominated bowlers shall bowl a delivery before any of them are
eligible to bowl a further delivery.
(l) If any of the nominated bowlers is injured during the bowl-out (at any time after
the toss has been taken), the injured bowler may be replaced by another player who
was a member of the 11 players nominated for the match. For the sake of clarity, the
replacement bowler may not be one of the other nominated bowlers.
(m)The umpires will be responsible for making sure only the nominated bowlers actually bowl, that the correct sequence is followed and that no bowler bowls more than
once until permitted to do so.
(n) The wicket keeper will not be permitted to stand up to the stumps.
(o) The teams shall be entitled to a warm up period prior to the toss for the bowl-out.
Players shall be entitled to measure and practice their run ups during this warm up
period provided no player shall be entitled to bowl any delivery on the square itself.
71
Once the toss has taken place no further practice deliveries, measurement or practice
of run ups shall be allowed (whether on the square or outfield).
(p) The umpires will be responsible for officially recording the number of ‘hits’ on the
wicket (bowled down as per Law 28.1).
(q) Law 24 shall apply. In the case of an infringement the umpire shall call and signal
No Ball and the delivery shall be considered a miss and will not be retaken. A hit
achieved with a “fair” delivery shall be signalled by the bowling end umpire in the
manner of an out dismissal.
(r) The umpires’ decision shall be final as to the fairness of the delivery and the result of
the bowl-out.
7.2.2 Bowl-out not possible
(a) In Preliminary matches, if the minimum number of overs has been bowled to constitute a match (5 overs per team) and circumstances make a bowl-out impossible, the
match shall be declared a tie.
8 Semi-Finals and Final:
8.1 Following the completion of the preliminary matches, the top team from each group will
progress to the Semi-Finals.
8.2 If more than 2 teams in one group are equal in points their relative positions shall be
deemed by percentage. (Refer P.R.5.3 & P.R.5.4).
8.3 The winning teams from each Semi-Final will progress to the Final.
8.4 Semi-Final games will be played as follows: North Group v West Group and South
Group v East Group.
8.5 Venues for Semi-Finals and Final games will be determined by the Executive Committee.
8.6 If a result cannot be achieved in Semi-Finals or Final games, the Executive Committee
will determine if the game is to be rescheduled. Their decision shall be final.
9 Fielding Restrictions
9.1 Two semi-circles shall be drawn on the field of play. The semi-circles shall have as their
centre the middle stump at either end of the pitch. The radius of each of the semi-circles
shall be 27 metres. The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn
on the field. The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white
lines or ‘dots’ at 7 metre intervals, each ‘dot’ to be covered by white plastic or rubber (but
not metal) discs.
9.2 At the instant of delivery there shall not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side.
9.3 Fieldsmen permitted outside the field restriction circles
72
9.4 For the team batting first, in an interrupted match, the field-restrictions will apply as follows:
Total Ovs
No of overs for which restrictions
In Innings
in 7.2 will apply
5-6
1
7-9
2
10-13
3
14-16
4
17-19
5
20
6
9.5 For the team batting second, where the number of overs is reduced, the aim will be to
maintain the restrictions in Rule 9.4 for the same proportion of the second innings as
they were maintained for the first innings (fractions to be ignored).
10 Bowling Procedure
(a) Overs are to be bowled in 5 over blocks alternating between ends, i.e. overs 1-5 are bowled from one end, overs 6-10 are bowled from the other end, etc.
(b) At the end of each over, only the 2 batsmen change ends. Apart from the nor
mal field position changes, the fieldsmen only change after each 5 over block. At the end of each 5 over block, the batsmen remain at the same end.
(c) No bowler shall bowl more than 4 overs in an innings.
11Declarations
The captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time during the
course of a match.
12 Free Hit after a Foot Fault No Ball
(a) The delivery following a No Ball called for a front or back foot fault (Law 24.5)
shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not
a legitimate delivery (any kind of No Ball or a wide), then the next delivery will
become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.
(b) For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances that apply for a No Ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide.
(c) Field changes will only be permitted for free hit deliveries if a different bats-
man is on strike for the free hit delivery.
(d) The bowler’s end umpire will signal a free hit by (after the normal no ball signal)
extending one arm upwards and moving it in a circular motion.
13 Wide Ball
(a) Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket.
(b) Any off side or leg side delivery that in the opinion of the umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide.
(c) As a guide, a delivery that passes outside the leg stump without any contact with the striker’s bat or person shall be a wide unless the ball passes between the striker and the stumps.
(d) As a guide, a ball passing the batsman on the off side more than 75 cm wide of the off stump shall be called a wide.
73
14. Fast Short Deliveries Above Shoulder Height of Striker
(a) In any one over a bowler shall be permitted to bowl one fast short pitched delivery
which, having bounced, passes or would have passed above shoulder height of the striker
standing upright at the crease. Should there be a repetition in the same over either umpire
shall call and signal “No Ball”.
(b) Any fast short pitched delivery not being a “No Ball” under (a), which passes so high
that it is not sufficiently within the striker’s reach for it to be hit by the bat with a normal
cricket stroke, shall be called and signalled “Wide Ball” by the umpire at the bowler’s
end.
15. Law 31 - Timed Out
Law 31 will apply. Either the incoming batsman or his partner, whichever the circumstances of the match require, must be in position to take guard to be ready to receive the
next ball within 1 minute 30 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket. The incoming
batsman is expected to be ready near the boundary to make his way to the wicket immediately a wicket falls, and is expected to jog to the wicket.
16.Clothing
Players shall be permitted to wear coloured clothing and or equipment as approved by
the Executive Committee.
17. Instructions to Clubs
17.1 Within 24 hours following the completion of each match, the home club shall be responsible for emailing the match scores to the Association Secretary to the following email
address: [email protected]. Any club failing to comply with this Rule
shall be fined $30 for each match of default.
18. Umpires
18.1 The Association shall appoint umpires for all matches with the competing clubs sharing
the cost of the umpires. All umpires must be registered VSDCA umpires and shall be
properly attired as per Association requirements.
18.2 Umpires’ fees shall be fixed at $50.00 per game.
18.3 The umpires will submit Match Report in accordance with P.R.20.5. (Captains’ Report
on Umpires is not required.)
19.Covers
19.1 It is NOT compulsory to cover pitches on the evening prior to a T20 Twilight match,
unless directed to do so by the Executive Committee. If such a direction is given by the
Executive Committee, clubs on day prior to match shall conform to the following:
(a) Cover must be laid by sunset on the evening of the day prior to the match.
(b) One cover of a minimum size of 28 metres by 10 metres
(c) Pitch underlay material 25 metres by 2.5 metres (mandatory to be laid under covers on match pitch)
(d) Cover(s) to be pegged securely

discretion of the umpires and, should such a decision be made, it is the responsibility of
both teams to assist with the labour required in laying and/or removing the cover(s).

light penetration, which make it ideal for new
seeding & oversowing.
The greenhouse effect will warm the soil,
resulting in earlier root growth.
Medium
858m² blanket (21.3 x 40.2m)
Large
1495m² blanket (21.3 x 70.1m)
Accelerates turf growth providing rapid
germination.
Evergreen protects seed from high winds, heavy
rainfall, birds & other animals.
It’s environmentally friendly, utilizing less water
& chemicals.
Evergreen can be cut or trimmed without
fraying or damage.
Evergreen is lightweight making it easy to
handle & will not smother or flatten the turf
surface.
Trial & Evaluation:
Andrew Peart from AGCSATech recently trialed the Evergreen Turf
Cover at Croydon Golf Club, Victoria.
Here is what he had to say:
‘The Evergreen Turf Cover can significantly improve
establishment rates and plant vigour of bentgrass on newly
sown greens, as well as promote higher levels of moisture
retention in the rootzone.”

Suspect Bowling Actions
Suspect Actions Advisory Group (SAAG)
Cricket Victoria has established a procedure to specifically deal with suspect actions
and they give approval for the VSDCA to follow the procedures as detailed below.
LEVEL 1:
In any VSDCA match, if there is a a doubt, the first mention* is to be made by the
umpire(s) to the VSDCA on a note, separate from the Match Report, naming the
bowler and expressing what the concerns are. Upon receipt, contact will be made with
the club Secretary/coach and ask the club to investigate the matter and take remedial
action if necessary.
LEVEL 2:
If there is a second mention* (same process - umpire(s) make a separate report to
the VSDCA), the bowler will then be requested to undergo a Bowling Unit analysis.
The first session will be at the expense of Cricket Victoria. Further sessions are available, if desired, at the cost of the club or the individual. (The cost is $100 per session). The bowler/club is provided with a video analysis and a report. At the analysis
session a CV person will consult with the bowler on areas he can work on to rectify
any problems he may have with his action.
There will be an 8 week “intervention period” following this analysis to allow remedial work to be undertaken. During this intervention period the player will be permitted to bowl in matches.
Umpires will be advised of the player’s situation.
(If there is any doubt* during this intervention period then the umpire(s) will continue
to make a separate report to the VSDCA.)
Should the bowler/club decide not to co-operate or participate in this part of the procedure the player will immediately be classified as Level 4, and will be suspended from
bowling for 12 months.
LEVEL 3:
Following the intervention period, at Level 2, should there be a further mention* the
bowler will not be permitted to bowl in the VSDCA for a period of 8 weeks. This
is to allow any remedial work to be continued, without the pressures of bowling in
matches.
LEVEL 4:
Following Levels 1 ,2 & 3 if the bowler is mentioned* again, he will not be permitted
to bowl in the VSDCA for a period of 12 months.
“The procedure is ongoing and players do not return to Level 1 each season. Each
mention will progress the procedure, irrespective of time”
SUBSEQUENT MENTION:
If a player suspended from bowling at Level 4 resumes bowling after the specified
suspension period, and is mentioned* again, he is immediately at Level 4 and suspension from bowling will apply forthwith.
*THIS ENTIRE PROCESS DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY UMPIRE FROM
CALLING A BOWLER FOR THROWING, AT ANY TIME, IF THE UMPIRE
IS IN DOUBT.
Throughout the process, clubs and coaches are to act in the best interests of the player
and cricket in general with the overall welfare of the player and the game being the
prime consideration.

Injury Code
1. Where a player or umpire during the course of a game, suffers an injury which
causes bleeding, then the umpires shall decide that the player must immediately
retire from the game until such time as First Aid has been administered to prevent
further bleeding. He cannot resume playing unless:
(a) the bleeding has stopped; or
(b) the wound is securely covered.
2. A batsman who is injured and has temporarily retired under Clause 1, and who
is unable to return after the fall of the ninth wicket, shall be deemed “Retired
Hurt” and the innings of the batting team shall be deemed closed.
3. Where an injury occurs to a batsman involved in the tenth wicket partnership,
a maximum of 10 minutes will be allowed in order to conform with Clause 1.
Where this injury occurs within 10 minutes of the scheduled tea adjournment,
tea shall be taken immediately with no extra time being added. If that batsman is unable to continue within the 10 minutes time limit, then he shall be
deemed “Retired Hurt” and the innings of the batting team shall be deemed
closed.
4. There shall be no reduction in the number of overs to be bowled when time is
lost due to an injury.
5. All home teams shall provide a First Aid Kit to be available at the ground for
the use of both competing teams. Such kit shall comprise, as a minimum standard: bandages, cotton wool, gauze, adhesive plaster, Band-Aids, closures,
scissors, tweezers, antiseptic, disposable gloves, disposable plastic bags and
ice-pack.
6. Penalty for not providing an adequate First Aid Kit - $50.00.
