Playing Conditions – 3 Royal London One-Day Cup Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing

The Playing Conditions for First Class Cricket as they relate to matches in the 2019 County Championship will apply, with the following exceptions:

2 Law 2 – The umpires 2.1 In all circumstances, use of floodlights does not preclude the application of County Championship Playing Condition 2.5.

2.2 In floodlit matches, the floodlights will be turned on at the interval between innings or at 7.30pm (6.30pm for matches in September), whichever is the earlier. If during a floodlit match, in the opinion of the Umpires, natural light is deteriorating to an unsuitable level, they may authorise the home authority to turn on the floodlights so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions. Once the floodlights have been turned on, they will remain on for the duration of the game.

At day matches where the home authority has confirmed prior to the commencement of the match that floodlights are available, if in the opinion of the Umpires, natural light has deteriorated to an unsuitable level, they may authorise the home authority to turn on the floodlights so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions.

In the event of floodlight malfunction or if the floodlights cannot be used for safety reasons with resultant loss of time, then Royal London One-Day Cup Playing Condition 12.2.2 shall apply as appropriate.

13.2.3 In the event of a bowler breaking down and being unable Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing to complete an over, the remaining balls will be bowled by another bowler. Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler’s limit is concerned.

13.2.4 The number of overs bowled by each individual bowler shall be indicated on the scoreboard, from the commencement of an innings.

15 Law 15 – Declaration and forfeiture 15.1 The Captain of the batting side may not declare his innings closed at any time during the course of a match.

16 Law 16 – The result 16.1 Laws 16.1, 16.4 and 16.5.2 shall not apply.

16.2 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. In the event of the scores being tied, the following shall apply:

16.2.1 In the event of a tie in a Group Stage match, no account shall be taken of wickets lost, the match is tied and each team shall be awarded one point.

16.2.2 In a play-off, semi-final or final, the team losing the lesser number of wickets shall be the winner.

16.2.3 In a play-off, semi-final or final, if the result cannot be decided by 16.2.2, the winner shall be the team with the higher score after 10 overs, or if still equal after 9 overs, or if still equal after 8 overs etc.

16.3 If, due to suspension of play after the start of the match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to 79 79 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 80

be revised to a lesser number than that originally allotted (minimum of 10 overs in a Group match, 20 overs in play-offs, semi-finals and final), then a revised target score should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing, this revised target being calculated by the Duckworth/Lewis method. A par score will be set for the second innings. If this is exceeded a win for the team batting second shall result. If the par score is equalled then scores are tied (see 16.5, 16.6, 16.7 and 16.8 below). If after the restart of play it is discovered that the wrong Duckworth/Lewis target has been set the faulty target shall stand.

16.4 If a match is abandoned before it has been played to a conclusion and before the team batting second has received its allotted number of overs (providing that it has received not less than 10 overs in a Group match, 20 overs in play-offs, semi-finals and final), the result shall be decided by the Duckworth/Lewis method.

16.5 In the event of the scores being tied in a Group Stage match when the Duckworth/Lewis method has been used, the match is tied and each team will be awarded one point.

16.6 In the event of the scores being tied in a play-off, semi- final or final when the Duckworth/Lewis method has been used, no account shall be taken of wickets lost. The teams shall compete in a Super Over to determine the winner. The following procedure will apply should the provision for a Super Over be adopted in any match.

16.6.1 Subject to weather conditions the Super Over will take place at a time to be determined by the umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 10 minutes after the conclusion of the match.

80 80 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 81

16.6.2 The Super Over will take place on the pitch allocated for the match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise 3 determined by the umpires in consultation with the Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing ground authority and the umpires.

16.6.3 The umpires shall stand at the same end as that in which they finished the match.

16.6.4 In both innings of the Super Over, the fielding side shall choose from which end to bowl.

16.6.5 Only nominated players for the main match excluding any player that has been replaced, and including any replacement players may participate in the Super Over. Should any player (including the batsmen and bowler) be unable to continue to participate in the Super Over due to injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reason, the relevant Laws and Playing Conditions as they apply in the main match shall also apply in the Super Over.

16.6.6 Any unserved Penalty time at the end of the main match shall be carried forward to the Super Over.

16.6.7 Each team’s over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for Powerplay 3 in a normal Royal London One-Day Cup match.

16.6.8 The team batting second in the match will bat first in the Super Over.

16.6.9 The Umpires shall select a ball from the box of spare balls which shall be used for both overs of the Super Over. The ball to be used shall not be a new ball and should have the apparent wear characteristics of a ball that has had between 5 and 20 overs of usage. For the avoidance of doubt, a ball used in the main match shall not be used in the Super Over. If the ball needs to be changed, then playing conditions as stated for the main match shall apply.

16.6.10 The loss of two wickets in the over ends the team’s one over innings.

81 81 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 82

16.6.11 In the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses two wickets during its over, then any unbowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e including any runs resulting from wides, no ball or penalty runs.

Example:

Runs scored from: Team 1 Team 2

Ball 6 1 1 Ball 5 4 4 Ball 4 2 1 Ball 3 6 2 Ball 2 0 1 Ball 1 2 6

In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However team 1 scored 2 runs from its 4th ball while team 2 scored a single so team 1 is the winner.

16.6.12 If still equal, then another Super Over shall be played in accordance with 16.6.

16.7 Should the Super Over not be completed due to County Championship Playing Condition 2.5 being invoked, then the Captains may, if circumstances (outdoors or indoors) permit, agree (in case of disagreement the Umpires shall decide) to the following form of ‘bowl-out’ contest to achieve a result:

Five players from each side will bowl over-arm two deliveries each at a wicket (conforming to Law 8) from 82 82 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 83

a wicket (conforming to Law 8) pitched at a distance of 22 yards with, if practicable, bowling, popping and 3 return creases (conforming to Law 7). The first bowler Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing from Team A will bowl two deliveries, then the first bowler from Team B will bowl two deliveries, then the second bowler from Team A will bowl two deliveries, and so on. The side which bowls down the wicket (as defined in Law 29.1) most times shall be the winner. If the scores are equal, the same players will bowl one ball each alternately to achieve a result on a ‘sudden death’ basis (the order in which the bowlers bowl in the sudden death may differ from the first stage of the bowl out). If circumstances make the bowl out impossible, the match shall be decided by the toss of a coin.

The following shall also apply in respect of ‘bowl-outs’:

16.7.1 The same suitably acceptable ball (not a new one) will be used by both teams. If this ball becomes wet, it may be changed subject to the Umpires’ approval.

16.7.2 If a bowler bowls a ‘no ball’ it will count as one of his two deliveries but will not count towards the score of the team.

16.7.3 If the original match has started, the five cricketers to take part in the ‘bowl-out’ must be selected from the nominated players for the match excluding any player that has been replaced, and including any replacement players. If there has been no play in the original match (the toss has not taken place), the five cricketers may be selected from any of a County’s registered cricketers.

16.7.4 Each side will appoint a wicket-keeper to stand behind the wicket but out of reach of the stumps.

16.8 Should neither a Super Over nor a bowl out be possible, the result of the match should be determined by the toss of a coin.

83 83 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 84

16.9 In a Group Stage match, if it is not possible for both teams to receive the minimum of 10 overs necessary to constitute a match, the match shall be declared No Result and each team shall be awarded 1 point.

In a play-off, semi-final or final, if it is not possible for both teams to receive the minimum of 20 overs necessary to constitute a match, the match shall be decided by a bowl out as described in 16.7. If a bowl out is not possible then the match shall be determined by the toss of a coin.

16.10 In the event of a group stage match being abandoned due to a pitch that has been rated unfit in accordance with pitch regulations the visiting team shall be awarded 2 points and the home team 0 points. The visiting team shall be credited with a win and the home team a loss for tiebreaker purposes. Such matches shall not be included for net-run-rate purposes for the visiting team. In respect of net-run-rate for the home team, they shall be considered to have scored 0 runs but to have faced the scheduled number of overs when the first innings commenced.

In the event of a play-off or semi-final match being abandoned due to a pitch that has been rated unfit in accordance with pitch regulations, then the visiting team shall be declared the winners.

Note that this does not preclude further action being taken against the home team through the disciplinary process.

16.11 Points System in the Royal London One-Day Cup Group Stage

16.11.1 Each team will play all other teams in its group home or away. Two points will be awarded for a Win, one point for a Tie or No Result and no points for a Loss.

16.11.2 The two Groups are as detailed in the First Class County Competition Regulations section.

84 84 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 85

16.11.3 The two group winners will immediately qualify for a home draw in semi-finals. The team finishing second in 3 each group will receive a home draw in the play-offs and Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing play against the team finishing third in the opposite group. The play-off winners will play away in the semi- finals. Semi-final ties will be determined by a free draw.

16.11.4 The tie-breakers for teams finishing on equal points will be:

16.11.4.1 Most wins in Group matches

16.11.4.2 If still equal, the team with the higher net run rate in the Group Matches will be placed in the higher position (see below).

16.11.4.3 If still equal, the teams will be ordered according to which team achieved the most points in the matches played between them.

16.11.4.4 In the event that teams cannot be separated by 16.11.4.1 to 16.11.4.3 above, this will be done by drawing lots.

16.11.5 Net Run Rate

A team’s net run rate is calculated by deducting from the average runs per over scored by that team, the average runs per over scored against that team.

In the event of a team being all out in less than its full quota of overs, the calculation of the net run rate of both teams shall be based on the full quota of overs to which the batting team would have been entitled and not on the number of overs in which the team was dismissed.

Only those matches where results are achieved will count for the purpose of net run rate calculations. Where a match is abandoned, but a result is achieved under Duckworth/Lewis, for net run rate purposes Team 1 will be accredited with Team 2’s Par Score on abandonment off the same number of overs faced by Team 2. Where a match is concluded but with 85 85 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 86

Duckworth/Lewis having been applied at an earlier point in the match, Team 1 will be accredited with 1 run less than the final Target Score for Team 2 off the total number of overs allocated to Team 2 to reach the target.

21 Law 21 – No ball 21.1 Law 21.15 (Penalty for a No ball) shall apply except that the penalty for a No ball will be 2 runs.

21.2 Free Hit after a No Ball

In addition to 21.1 above, the delivery following a no ball shall be a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.

Note that this applies for all modes of No ball with the exception of a short-pitched delivery that passes or would have passed clearly over head-height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease. For the avoidance of doubt, a free hit shall be applied for a No ball that is called in respect of a breach of Championship playing condition 41.3.1.

If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or a wide ball), then the next delivery will become a free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.

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 ball.

Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a change of striker or the No Ball was the result of a field restriction breach in which case the field may be changed to the extent of correcting the breach. However, in all circumstances, any fielder within 15 yards of the striker may retreat to a position on the same line no more than 15 yards from the striker.

The Umpires will signal a free hit by (after the normal No Ball signal) extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

86 86 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 87

22 Law 22 – Wide ball 3 22.1 In addition to Law 22 and in place of County Playing Conditions – Royal London One-Day Cup One-Day London Royal – Conditions Playing Championship Playing Condition 22 the following will apply.

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.

A penalty of one run for a Wide shall be scored. This penalty shall stand in addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded.

26 Law 26 – Practice on the field 26.1 For floodlit matches, where logistically possible, reasonable endeavours shall be made to provide an opportunity to practice all facets of the game under floodlights in the lead up to the match. This shall include net practice on the square.

28 Law 28 – The fielder 28.1 Restrictions on the placement of fieldsmen

28.1.1 At the instant of delivery, there may not be more than 5 fieldsmen on the leg side.

28.1.2 In addition to the restriction contained in clause 28.1.1 above, further fielding restrictions shall apply to certain overs in each innings. The nature of such fielding restrictions and the overs during which they shall apply are set out in the following paragraphs.

28.1.3 The following fielding restrictions shall apply:

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 30 yards (27.43 metres). The semi-circles shall be linked by two parallel straight lines drawn on the 87 87 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 88

field. (Refer Appendix C of ODI playing conditions). The fielding restriction areas should be marked by continuous painted white lines or ‘dots’ at 5 yard (4.57 metres) intervals, each ‘dot’ to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (but not metal) disc measuring 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter.

At the instant of delivery:

28.1.3.1 Powerplay 1 – no more than two (2) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 1 to 10 inclusive.

28.1.3.2 Powerplay 2 – no more than four (4) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 11 to 40 inclusive

28.1.3.3 Powerplay 3 – no more than five (5) fieldsmen shall be permitted outside this fielding restriction area. In an innings of 50 overs, these are overs 41 to 50 inclusive

28.1.4 In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of overs within each phase of the innings shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the match.

28.1.5 If play is interrupted during an innings and the table in 28.1.4 applies, the Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over. 89 89 4003_FCC_KSL_RoyalLondon_2018_p67-92.qxp_C and G Trophy F 20#431BFE.qxd 22/02/2018 11:52 Page 90

Illustrations of 28.1.5

A 50 over inning is interrupted after 8.3 overs and reduced to 32 overs. The new phases are 7+19+6. Therefore the middle phase fielding restrictions take immediate effect when play resumes and last for a further 17.3 overs. The final phase begins after 26 overs have been bowled.

A 40 over innings is interrupted after 18.5 overs and reduced to 22 overs. The new phases are 5+13+4. When play resumes, the final phase fielding restrictions apply for the remaining 3.1 overs.

28.1.6 At the commencement of the middle and final phases of an innings, the umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating his arm in a large circle.

28.1.7 The scoreboard shall indicate the current Powerplay in progress.

28.1.8 The public address system shall be used to keep the spectators informed.

28.1.9 In the event of an infringement of any of the above fielding restrictions, the square leg umpire shall call and signal ‘No Ball’.

28.1.10 In the event of the striker’s end Umpire failing to call and signal No Ball when the fielding restrictions in this playing condition have been breached or when Law 28.4 (Limitation of on side fielders) has been breached, immediately the ball becomes dead the striker may draw the matter to that Umpire’s attention. If the striker’s end Umpire is able to verify the breach he shall call and signal No Ball. If the striker’s end Umpire is unable to verify the breach then he shall confirm that the events of the delivery shall be unchanged.

4.4 County Championship Playing Condition 4.3.3 shall apply except that the fielding Captain is limited to one request per ball.

6.2 Law 6.5 – Non-turf pitches – will not apply. However, stitched hybrid pitch systems in which synthetic turf fibres (polyethylene or polypropylene, of beige and/or green colour) are inserted vertically into an entire soil pitch with established natural turf, shall be permitted. Fibre stitches should be at a mean square spacing of 18 to 22 mm parallel to the direction of play and over the whole pitch area as defined by Law 6.1.
