This text describes changes in cricket laws regarding substitutes and runners, no ball rule for injured strikers, restrictions on practicing on the field, penalties for fielders, scoring runs, handling the ball, hitting the ball twice, obstructing the field, and the use of a new ball.
E N D
Substitutes & runners • Injured striker can’t be ‘run out’ off no ball if • his runner is behind crease and • if he’s only out of crease to play at the ball and • if the wicketkeeper acts alone (‘stumping’)
Practise on field • No practise on pitch or adjacent strips at any time • On square: not within 30 mins from startnot if umpires say it’s damaging square
Practise on field • Outfield: • not within 5 mins from start/restart • not delaying match • no batting/bowling practise • nominated fielders only • match ball only • practise run-up allowed if not delaying match • throwing over arm allowed if not delaying match or changing condition of ball
Practise on field - penalties • Fielders:can’t bowl for next hour or 30 mins of playing time, whichever occurs first • Bowler in over:not allowed to finish over • Batsmen:final warning, then 5 penalty runs
Scoring runs • Out ‘obstructing field’:completed runs count unless obstructing catch • Out ‘run out’:completed runs count unless injured striker is out of ground & considered run out • Relay catch at boundary:1st player in contact MUST have started inside rope, if then 2nd player finishes catch, they may come from outside boundary
‘Finn no-ball’ • Not breaking wicket to run out non-striker • From ball in play • To stride after delivery stride finished • ‘Back’ foot now landed after delivery stride
Handled the ball • Only striker when in receiving or immediately after receiving • Out when defending stumps with hand not holding bat • Not when avoiding injury • Bowler doesn’t get credit • All other instances now ‘obstructing field’
Hit the ball twice • No runs allowed • Call dead ball after 1st completed run • Batsmen returned to original end • Overthrow not considered • Ball called dead before reaches boundary • Ball hitting helmet of fielder: no penalty runs
Obstructing the field • Now includes using hand not holding bat unless avoiding injury • Wilful act by either batsman to prevent catch: striker out ‘obstructing the field’ regardless of who acted • Completed runs count unless catch prevented (then no runs allowed)
New ball • Multi-day where new ball may be taken after X overs • X.3 overs bowled and new ball takenthat over will be completed but not taken into account to calculate when next new ball may be taken • 83.3 overs bowled, new ball taken (> 80 overs)next new ball available at start of 164th over (84 + 80)
