There is no limit on squad size. The Start The schedule for matches will be published before hand and teams are advised to adhere strictly to this to ensure a smooth transition between games (and so that we do not over run) Team captains will toss a coin to decide which team has the choice of either batting or fielding first. The Game Each match will last for 5 overs. Like in normal cricket once you are out (dismissals listed below) you are out. Overs will consist of 6 balls. Scoring (& some dismissals) o If the ball strikes the side wall and the ‘back’ wall (behind the wicket keeper) 1 run is scored - batters may also be caught off these walls o Each time the batters run 2 runs will be scored o So if they hit either of the walls stated above and run once 3 runs will be scored i. if the ball strikes either of these walls and a player is run out only the completed run is scored. ii. 1 overthrow will be scored each time the fielding side’s attempted run out strikes either side or back wall (4 runs if it hits the boundary wall – see below) o when the ball strikes the ‘Boundary Wall’ (the wall behind the bowler and (anything attached to it) – without hitting either side wall – it is immediately ‘dead’ the scores awarded depend on where it hits the wall, thus: i.
