  • Anuj at the 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup in Australia
    The ICCA Cricket Club My 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup Journey To Australia Selection I will fondly remember that day in April when I received a call informing me of my selection for the England U16 indoor cricket squad to play in the forthcoming World Cup tournament in Australia in October 2009. Mike Gatting had made the squad announcements at the Bristol training centre but not confident of selection, I did not attend this event! Having played indoor cricket from the age of 8, I was confident of my abilities but when I saw those big lads at the trials, I thought I had made a mistake. Of course I was overwhelmed and proud to have made it to the initial squad. The task now was to make it to the final squad of 12 players for the tournament. Preparation Our pre-tournament training was mostly based in Bristol over a period of six months. This involved rigorous fitness training as well as honing the skills of playing competitive indoor cricket matches. On a few occasions we played against the U19s and the men’s teams to toughen our approach. Indoor cricket was invented in Australia where they have over a hundred centres compared to our six! Needless to say, the international level of competition was expected to be very strong. This is the fastest format of the game and is gradually gaining popularity in all major Test playing countries. The ECB is taking control over the game from this year and it is anticipated that more quality facilities will be available throughout the country in the coming years.

  • 6-A-Side Indoor Cricket Rules
    6-A-Side Indoor Cricket Rules Fielding a team All players must be properly attired – ie wearing uniformed tops / jerseys or at least the same colour. If not, 5 runs per un- uniformed player will be deducted from the team’s batting total at the umpire’s discretion (capped at 15 runs). Slippers or playing barefoot is not allowed. Each team will need to field a maximum of 6 players & a minimum of 5 players to commence a match. A game must start as scheduled, if a minimum of 5 players for each team is present. If the game is just 5-a-side, then the full quota of 12 overs per side will still be played with one player batting twice & 2 bowlers to bowl 3 overs each. At the scheduled start time, if one team has at least 5 players but the other doesn’t, there will be a grace period of 10 minutes. But there will be a time penalty of 3 overs (1 from each batting pair) deducted from the offending team if they arrive anytime within that 10 minutes. The non-offending team will automatically win the toss & still bat 12 overs. So, all teams should toss 5 minutes before the scheduled start to avoid losing overs. If both teams do not have a minimum of 5 players at the scheduled start time, there will be a grace period of 10 minutes. But there will be a time penalty of 3 overs (1 from each batting pair) deducted from both teams if they arrive anytime within that 10 minutes.

  • The Beauty of Indoor Cricket Is That EVERY Player Bats and Bowls the Same Number of Overs As Their Team Mates, Keeping Everyone Involved in the Game
    WHAT IS INDOOR CRICKET? The beauty of Indoor Cricket is that EVERY player bats and bowls the same number of overs as their team mates, keeping everyone involved in the game. For those who have never played before, the basics of Indoor Cricket are: ● 8 players per team ● Teams may still take the court with a minimum of 6 players, though their opponents get to choose which player(s) bat and bowl in the missing players place ● Each innings consists of 16 x 6 ball overs, with every player bowling 2 overs and each batting pair facing 4 overs ● Batsmen score runs by running between the batsmen crease and the non-strikers crease but also gain bonus runs of between 1 and 6 for hitting certain nets ● When a batsman is 'out' he or she loses 5 runs from his score but remains in bat ● Teams also earn bonus ladder points or 'skins' by winning each corresponding batting partnership (i.e. 1st pair of Team A versus 1st pair of Team B, etc) ● The only equipment players need is a bat, gloves and protector and all of these can be either purchased or borrowed from Lords Indoor Sports ● Matches last approximately 1 hr 10 minutes (30 - 35 minutes/innings) CRICKET RULES: PLAYING COURT The length of an indoor cricket pitch is the same as a conventional cricket pitch, and has 3 stumps at each end, but the similarities end there. The field is completely enclosed by tight netting, a few meters from each side and end of the pitch. The playing surface is artificial grass matting.
