Each team shall declare their fast and medium fast bowlers prior to the start of the tournament, although the Umpires have the final jurisdiction in deeming a bowler as “fast or medium fast”. Please note: Fast or medium fast bowlers must bowl at least thirty (30%) percent of the allotted overs in the first innings of the match, further, these bowlers must also bowl no less than eighteen (18) overs in the second innings in an un-interrupted match. 3 3.3 SECOND DAY’S PLAY 3.3.1 The second innings shall be limited as follows: a) The time remaining after the first innings will be divided equally between the two (2) teams. b) The number of overs to be completed in the time remaining after the first innings shall be determine using the formula two (2) overs for every full eight (8) minutes. 3.3.2 UMPIRES 3.3.3 The WICB shall appoint all Umpires and Match Officials for the tournament 3.3.4 The Managers, Captains, Coaches and players on both teams shall not make any statement to the press or in public regarding the appointment and performance of any umpire and match official. 3.3.5 Both Umpires shall remain on the ground unless released by the Ground Authority until half an hour after the agreed time for drawing stumps: if adverse weather conditions bring about an abandonment of play for the day, they must remain and supervise any drying of the pitch which may be possible. If there is likely to be a long period of waiting before conditions become suitable for drying the pitch they may be released by the Ground Authority, but must hold themselves subject to re-call. Their addresses and telephone numbers for the duration of the match must be left with the Ground Authority so that they may be available on call at any time. 4. SUBSTITUTES Law 2.1 (b) apply as modified: (b) The umpires shall have discretion, for other wholly acceptable reasons, to allow a substitute fielder or a runner for a batsman, at the start of the match or at any subsequent time subject to consent being given by the opposing captain. 4 Law 2.7 (Runner’s Equipment) will apply as modified: The player acting as Runner for an injured Batsman shall at all times wear similar external clothing and protective equipment as the injured Batsman. Law 2.5 FIELDER ABSENT OR LEAVING THE FIELD Law 2.5 shall apply as modified If a fielder fails to take the field with his side at the start of the match or at any later time, or leaves the field during a session of play, the umpire shall be informed of the reason for his absence, and he shall not thereafter come on to the field during a session of play without the consent of the umpire. (See Law 2.6 as modified). The umpire shall give such consent as soon as practicable. If the player is absent from the field for longer than 8 minutes: (i) The player shall not be permitted to bowl in that innings after his return until he has been on the field for at least that length of playing time for which he was absent. In the event of a follow on, this restriction will, if necessary, continue into the second innings. (ii) The player shall not be permitted to bat unless or until, in the aggregate, he has returned to the field and/or his side’s innings has been in progress for at least that length of playing time for which he has been absent or, if earlier, when side has lost five wickets. The restriction in (i) and (ii) above shall not apply if the player has suffered any external blow (as opposed to an internal injury such as a pulled muscle) whilst participating earlier in the match and consequently been forced to leave the field. Nor shall it apply if the player has been absent for very exceptional and wholly acceptable reasons (other than injury or illness) and consent for a Substitute has been granted by the opposing Captain.

  • Cricket As Metaphor in Thomas Pynchon's Against The
    65 GRAAT issue # 3 – March 2008 It’s just not cricket: cricket as metaphor in Thomas Pynchon’s Against the Day 1 Peter Vernon Université François Rabelais – Tours This paper makes a very modest proposal indeed; it has as its sole aim to attempt to illuminate one small aspect of the immense novel Against the Day . I shall first, very briefly, suggest some of the analogies and demands made on the reader by Pynchon’s encyclopedic work in which everything connects with everything else; proceed to say why I believe he uses the game of cricket in Against the Day , and then analyze the stereotype of cricket and “The Great Game” of espionage as codes of language and behaviour. Extrapolating from that analysis, I shall make some very hesitant conclusions on Pynchon's vision. What does not concern Thomas Pynchon would be easier to enumerate than what this polymathic author writes about. A reader, certainly this reader, faced with a new book by Pynchon feels like one of the rustics in The Deserted Village looking at the village schoolmaster: “And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew,/That one small head could carry all he knew” (Goldsmith ll. 211-12). Were there time, it would be interesting to develop some kind of theory as to what Pynchon demands of the reader— 66 what kind of contract he establishes with the reader. I cannot do that today, except to say that like later Joyce, he gives a total world view, and he also works by pastiche (the Chums of Chance, the Monty Python Twits, James Bond, “The Thing” etc).

    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • A Glossary of Cricket Terms
    A glossary of cricket terms Cricket, more than most sports, is full of expressions and terms designed to bewilder the newcomer (and often even the more seasoned follower). Arm Ball A ball bowled by a slow bowler which has no spin on it and so does not turn as expected but which stays on a straight line ("goes on with the arm") The Ashes Series between England and Australia are played for The Ashes Asking rate - The runs required per over for a team to win - mostly relevant in a one-dayer Ball Red for first-class and most club cricket, white for one-day matches (and, experimentally, women once used blue balls and men orange ones). It weighs 5½ ounces ( 5 ounces for women's cricket and 4¾ ounces for junior cricket) Ball Tampering The illegal action of changing the condition of the ball by artificial means, usually scuffing the surface, picking or lifting the seam of the ball, or applying substances other than sweat or saliva Bat-Pad A fielding position close to the batsman designed to catch balls which pop up off the bat, often via the batsman's pads Batter Another word for batsman, first used as long ago as 1773. Also something you fry fish in Beamer A ball that does not bounce (usually accidently) and passes the batsman at or about head height. If aimed straight at the batsman by a fast bowler, this is a very dangerous delivery (and generally frowned on) Bend your back - The term used to signify the extra effort put in by a fast bowler to obtain some assistance from a flat pitch Belter A pitch which offers little help to bowlers and so heavily favours batsmen Blob A score of 0 (see duck) Bodyline (also known as leg theory) A tactic most infamously used by England in 1932-33, although one which had been around for some time before that, in which the bowler aimed at the batsman rather than the wicket with the aim of making him give a catch while attempting to defend himself.

  • CHANGE to LAW 41.7 (From 1St April 2019)
    CHANGE TO LAW 41.7 (From 1st April 2019) OFFICIAL Marylebone Cricket Club Change to Law 47.1 (From 1st April 2019) 1 Introduction In October 2017, MCC published a new Code of Laws. The 2017 Code was the first complete review and rewrite of the Laws in almost two decades. It was the result of a global consultation, took three years of drafting and sought to make the Laws fairer, more inclusive and easier to understand. In the year since publication of the 2017 Code, MCC has listened to a great deal of feedback from around the world. Happily, most of it has been positive, with the Laws being adopted and understood by players, umpires and supporters. However, there have been some errors spotted, and one Law change in particular has proved unpopular. MCC is thus publishing the 2nd Edition of the 2017 Code, which will come into force on 1st April 2019. Most of the changes which will differentiate this 2nd Edition from the first are small – minor corrections, explanatory clarifications, and the odd alteration to a Law that was drafted imperfectly. These will be published, in full, at the start of January 2019, giving all stakeholders plenty of time to read and process them before they come into force. There is, however, one more significant change, which will have an impact on players and umpires – a reworking of Law 41.7, which relates to full-pitch deliveries over waist height (known colloquially as ‘beamers’). Because this will affect umpire training, MCC has chosen to publish the new Law at the earliest possible date.
