Based on the current numbers’ wheelchair players make up just 1.7%. To understand why this should be so, a few questions raise their head. Is it because people’s perception of cricket means that players in wheelchairs feel that they cannot play, or if they can, they may feel that the experience of trying to manoeuvre a chair around a cricket field may prove too difficult whilst at the same time the cricketing experience is less than expected. It may also be that wheelchair players feel marginalised by other disabled players insomuch as non- wheelchair players may have a perception that wheelchair players are not able to contribute to a game in the same way as ambulant disabled people. Whatever the reason is, it is felt that there is a huge potential to provide an opportunity for wheelchair players to adopt and play a format specifically designed for them. This format is played in wheelchairs and is played indoors. It has been designed to be a fast and exciting game and allows people of all ages and both sexes to take part. The game involves the basic principles and skill of traditional cricket, with a difference! Wheelchair Cricket has some great benefits, such as minimal commitment, games are never rained off, you can play socially or more competitively if you wish, it allows you to keep active and can be played all year round. The game will improve your fitness and will have a positive effect on your health and wellbeing. In the following pages the match rules are explained. Page | 3 Wheel Chair Cricket – Rules – Version 3 – Feb 2019 Rules Teams 1. Each team will consist of 7 players. Although teams can have more members, only 7 will be allowed on the court at any one time. 2. On match days, teams can name 8 players with one of those players acting as a substitute 3. Substitute players are not able to bat or bowl 4. All players must use a wheelchair Equipment & Playing Area 5. Stumps – Normal sized cricket stumps will be used, and a set must be placed at both ends of the wicket 6. Ball – The ball used will be a lightweight composite ball – the ball is slightly lighter than a standard cricket ball weight. The reason for this is to increase the difficulty for the batsman to score runs! 7. Bat – A standard sized plastic bat is used in this game; however other custom-made bats can be used as long as they meet the requirements for standard bat widths. 8. Playing Area – shall be based on a full-size indoor basketball court 9. The Length of the Wicket – The batting crease is located on the base line (A) of the basketball court 10. The Bowling Crease – is located within the centre circle (C) of the basketball court 11. Fielders – are not allowed inside the free-throw line (B) of the court whilst the bowler bowls. 12. Target Areas – The hall will be zoned as the diagram below and the runs indicated will be scored by the batsman as indicated. Runs are scored based on target areas. The court should be set up as follows: 1 RUN 2 RUNS 3 RUNS C A B 4 RUNS 6 RUNS 1RUN 1 RUN 2 RUNS 3 RUNS Page | 4 Wheel Chair Cricket – Rules – Version 3 – Feb 2019 The Game Format 13. A substitute may be named; however, the substitute player will be unable to bat or bowl and can only perform fielding duties. 14. Every game will consist of 24 X 6 ball overs. Each team will bowl 12 x 6 ball overs. 15. Each bowler will be allowed to bowl a maximum of 3 overs per game. 16. Each over will consist of 6 balls 17. If a bowler bowls a wide (any ball delivered down the leg side or any ball delivered sufficiently wide on the offside as deemed by the umpire, then two runs will be added to the batting total and no extra ball will be bowled (except in the last over of each innings – see details below) 18. A no-ball will be signalled if the ball bounces more than once before reaching the batsman. 19. A no-ball will be signalled if a ball reaches the batsman on the full irrespective of its height 20. No-balls will not result in an extra ball being bowled but two extra runs will be added to the batting total (except in the last over of each innings – see below) 21. In the last over of each innings, no balls and wides as described above will realise one run extra, however, extra balls will need to be bowled, until six legitimate deliveries have been made. Batting 22. A batting order will be created for each team and the batsmen bat in order through their team. 23. A batsman is restricted to score 30 runs per innings but then must retire not out. A retired batsman can resume their innings once all other batsmen have completed their innings. 24. Retired batsman must resume their innings in the order in which they retire. 25. The batting order can be altered depending on the game situation, however, retired batsmen cannot resume their innings unless all other wickets have been lost or other batsmen have retired. 26. Batsman do not have to run to score, however they can do. Further runs are added to the batsman should the batters choose to run and reach the crease at the opposite end. Runs scored in this manner be in addition to any runs that may have been scored as a result of the ball touching a relevant wall. 27. When running, batters can be run out if they do not have part of their chair or body inside the designated popping crease. 28. All batting takes place at one end of the court. At the end of each over, the batters swap ends 29. In a normal game, once six wickets have been lost, the side will be deemed all out ( no last man stand) Scoring runs Runs are scored as follows: 30. The indoor hall is divided up into zones and each zone is worth a set number of runs as shown in diagram 1 above 31. The wall behind the wicketkeeper will attract 1 run (either if hit by the batsman or as an extra (bye) Page | 5 Wheel Chair Cricket – Rules – Version 3 – Feb 2019 32. The side wall will be divided up into zones with different values depending on where the ball strikes. The umpire will be the final arbiter of runs scored 33. The furthest wall will attract a score of 4 runs if hit direct by the ball and where the ball contacts the ground. No further ‘physical runs’ can be scored in this scenario. 34. The furthest wall will attract 6 runs if hit direct by the ball where the ball makes no contact with ground between leaving the bat and striking the wall. No further ‘physical runs’ can be scored in this scenario 35. If the furthest wall is hit by the ball after it has struck another wall, then the relevant run score will apply for the first wall that the ball is in contact with. 36. The ceiling of the indoor facility is deemed as out of bounds. If the ball hits the ceiling during normal play, then the ball will be deemed as ‘dead’, however, the delivery will stand, but no runs can be scored, or wickets claimed. 37. In any

  • Being on the Bench Was Not a Choice That They Made
    Being-on-the-Bench: An Existential Analysis of the Substitute in Sport Abstract Being a substitute in sport appears to contradict the rationale behind being involved in that sport, especially in those sports whereby substitutes frequently remain unused or are brought on to the field of play for the final moments of that game. For the coach or manager, substitutes function as a way to improve the team achieving a particular end, namely to win the game; whether to replace an injured or tired player, to change a team’s structure or tactics, to complete a specialised manoeuvre (such as goal kicking in American football or a short corner in hockey), or to run down the clock. Whether a substitute is afforded an opportunity of playing the game appears to be directed by others; arguably if one had a choice in the matter one would chose to be on the field of play rather than off it. Nevertheless, the Existentialist position is that our situation is always inexorably one that is freely chosen. To argue that one has not freely chosen one’s position is to be ‘inauthentic’. Furthermore, to conceptualise one’s manifestation and to be treated by others as a thing ‘in-itself’ – such as a substitute - is to fall into ‘bad faith’. Culbertson (1) has already argued that elite competitive sport is an arena which promotes rather than avoids bad faith due to its constituent factors. Culbertson’s frame of reference primarily applied to sporting events that involve individuals competing in co-active, parallel competition - such as athletics, swimming or weightlifting - whereby bad faith is generated via a tacit acceptance of ever- improving and quantifiable performance.

  • Fielders, Wicket-Keeping and Send-Offs
    Page 15 - additional information around substitute fielders, wicket-keeping and send-offs Fielders Substitute fielders Sometimes teams will play with a 12th man, who may come on to replace another player in the field. Even without a formal 12th man, some teams may use a substitute fielder if required and available. Under the new laws, the rules around substitute fielders have become a bit more complicated. Substitute fielders may not bat or bowl; however, they can wicket-keep with the consent of the umpires if they are substituting for a wicket-keeper who has been genuinely injured. No substitute fielders are permitted to replace a player who has been sent off. If the wicket-keeper is sent off, only another player from the original 11 can wicket-keep, and if a substitute fielder subsequently replaces another fielder (e.g. due to injury), that substitute still cannot wicket-keep. Any player who is replaced by a substitute for any length of time must serve a ‘penalty period’ after returning to the field, which is a period equivalent to the amount of time spent off the ground. During this ‘penalty time’, the player cannot bowl, and, if the innings ends meanwhile, the player cannot bat until the penalty time has been served, or until the player’s team has lost 5 wickets. If a substitute fielder is sent off for a set number of overs, the player they replaced cannot return until the set number of overs for the send off have been completed (see page 102). When the original player returns to the field after the send off period, they need only serve ‘penalty time’ for the time spent off the field before and after the send off overs.

  • Somerset Cricket League
    SOMERSET CRICKET LEAGUE A GUIDE TO THE COMMON LAWS OF CRICKET The League operates a very successful Umpires Panel for the top two divisions. These Umpires would have taken a course on the Laws of Cricket and they are likely to be members of the Somerset Association of Cricket Officials. It is likely that, in local Cricket, the hardest places to fill in a team are that of Umpire and Scorer. All Clubs should be aware of the courses that are available for both Umpires and Scorers. In order the assist those who might be called upon to stand during the season we have put together some of the most common laws of Cricket to help such a person or persons during the season. Leg before Wicket (LBW) In order to give the batsman out LBW there are four main factors that require a ”yes” answer. a) The ball must not be a “no ball” b) Did the ball pitch in line between wicket to wicket when striking the batsman’s pads or did it pitch outside the off stump? c) Was the interception part of the Striker’s dress or equipment and not the bat or the hand holding the bat? d) Was the point of impact in line between wicket and wicket? e) In the Umpire's opinion would the ball have hit the wickets? Notes i) If the ball pitches outside the line of the leg-stump it cannot be considered for LBW. ii) If no stroke is offered then the striker can be out LBW even if the interception is outside the off stump, provided the umpire is sure that the ball would have hit the wicket.
