  • Indoor Tournament Rules 2016/2017 Pitch Two Sets Of
    Indoor Tournament Rules 2016/2017 Pitch Two sets of wickets, 16 yards apart. Equipment: Kwik cricket or wooden bats and ‘Incrediballs or similar’ are to be used so batters may wear gloves, wicket-keepers can use full protection. Teams: 6 players will make up a team. 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.

  • 371 – March 2018 (2)
    THE HAMPSHIRE CRICKET SOCIETY Patrons: John Woodcock Shaun Udal James Tomlinson NEWSLETTER No. 371 – MARCH 2018 (2) Wednesday 28 March 2018 – Meeting The society extends a warm welcome to this evening’s speaker, Adrian Aymes, on his return to the Society. He first addressed members in September 2000, during his benefit year. ADRIAN NIGEL AYMES was born in Southampton on 4 June 1964, and attended Bellemoor School. He came late to first-class cricket. He joined the Hampshire staff when 21 years of age in 1986 but did not gain a regular place until he finally displaced Bob Parks some four years later. He gave notice of what was to follow on his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1987. With Hampshire in trouble, he battled to 58 not out. Subsequently, no player in the first-class game during the 1990s sold his wicket more dearly. He was undefeated in a high proportion of his innings, which spoke volumes for his technique, temperament and sheer cussedness. With Robin Smith, he became the beating heart and consciousness of the Hampshire batting. If he took root and dug in, Hampshire were generally assured of a competitive total. All of his eight centuries were made in adversity. Of all Hampshire’s wicket-keepers, only his successor, Nic Pothas, has a higher batting average. He was a passionately proud professional, and never gave less than his best. He was fortunate to keep wicket to two of the genuinely great bowlers in the history of the game. At the start of his career, he stood back to the incomparable Malcolm Marshall; latterly, he kept to the unique Shane Warne.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.
