SPORT SPECIFIC RULES These rules will run alongside the ECB Kwik Cricket Rules available to download from January 2019 at www.londonyouthgames.org/sports/cricket/kwik-cricket/ 1. BATTING & SCORING: a) The batting side shall be divided into pairs, each pair batting for 2 overs, with a new pair starting at the end of the second, fourth and sixth overs. The second team then bats for its 8 overs, if 8 players started the match. b) Teams may start a match with a minimum of 5 players but they will only be allowed to bat for the amount of overs they have players (5 players = 5 batting overs). They will still be required to bowl 8 overs to the other team, if the opposing team has 8 players. c) Each team starts batting with a score of 200 runs. d) Each time a batter is out, 5 runs are deducted and the other batter of the pair faces the next ball. e) A batter may be out bowled, caught, run out, stumped, hit wicket. f) There is no LBW law unless the batter deliberately blocks the ball with a leg or foot. g) Runs will be scored in the normal way, as will byes. 2. WIDES and NO BALLS: a) 2 runs are awarded to the batting team for each wide ball and no-ball bowled, but no extra ball will be allocated; except in the final over of each innings when, in addition to the 2 runs, an extra ball will be bowled. No balls are scored using the +2 rule, so that if a player scores runs from a no-ball the penalty runs and the batters runs will count. 3. BOWLING & FIELDING a) Each player on the fielding side must bowl 1 over. If teams only have 5, 6 or 7 players then the coach and/or umpire will select 3 (if 5), 2 (if 6) or 1 (if 7) to bowl a second over. b) Bowling will take place from one end only. c) Bowling should be over arm at London Youth Games Finals. d) At local district competition overarm bowling should be encouraged with the first ball of each over overarm every time. If no amount of coaching and encouragement can achieve overarm bowling, even from a base start, then the rest of the over can be bowled underarm. e) At LYG Finals 3 points will be added to the batting team (on top of any runs scored per ball bowled) if an individual chooses to bowl underarm. f) In the case of the ‘double bounce’ rule i.e. if the ball bounces more than ONCE, or rolls along the ground before it reaches the popping crease; a no ball will be called and 2 points will be added to the score with no extra ball except in the last over when in addition to the 2 runs, an extra ball will be bowled. g) Players on the fielding side DO NOT need to rotate fielding positions. h) With the exception of the wicketkeeper no fielder may field within 10 yards of the wicket, measured from the middle stump except behind the wicket on the off-side. i) A fielder may move into the restricted area to field a ball provided he/she was outside the area when the stroke was made.
