ROLE OF CAPTAINS 1 Captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit of the game as well as the Laws of Cricket. ATTITUDE TOWARDS UMPIRES 1 Recognise that the umpire is in charge and has the final say. 2 Courtesy and respect should be shown at all times. 3 If, in anyone’s opinion, an umpire misinterprets a rule, avoid heckling or arguing with him or opposition players. Any registered player of club official disputing an umpire’s decision, using abusive, threatening or language, during or after a match, within or outside the playing field, is liable to be reported. 4 If clubs are unhappy with an umpire’s performance, the correct procedure is to make a constructive report to the Umpires’ Officer. 6 ROLE OF PLAYERS 1 Avoid making uncomplimentary or unnecessary remarks to opponents. 2 Opposition players are guests and should be treated as such. 3 Avoid becoming involved in discussions between an umpire and your opponents. 4 Praise for good play of an opponent is a sign of sportsmanship. 5 Out-going and in-coming batsmen should cross on the field. 6 Bowlers should return to the start of their run-up without delay and should be ready to bowl without wasting time. 7 Players should assist captains and umpires in the smooth running of the game. 8 Fielders should move quickly between overs and when required to change their fielding positions. 9 The setting and changing of the field should be undertaken without delay. 10 Alcohol or other illegal substances should not be utilised by players whilst the game is in progress. ATTITUDE TO YOUNG PLAYERS 1.1 Clubs, teams and captains should observe the protective measures, recommended by the Cricket Australia and Cricket Victoria and enforced in the Junior Section, to minimise the risk of injury to younger players. 1.2 The captain should specify to his opposing captain, and to the umpires, any of his team, including substitutes, who is a young player and to whom the restrictions of either fielding or bowling injury prevention should apply under this code. 2 Field placement 2.1 Should a member of a fielding side be an under 14 player (unless that player is fielding as the wicket keeper, in the slips or gully), that player should not field closer than 10 metres to the striker, until the ball is hit, contacts the striker or passes through to the wicket keeper. 7 3 Bowling injury prevention 3.1 Young bowlers (being under the age concerned at the start of the season) of medium pace or faster, should be restricted as follows: Age group Maximum spell Maximum daily allocation Under 19 8 consecutive overs 20 overs Under 17 6 consecutive overs 16 overs Under 15 5 consecutive overs 10 overs Under 14 4 consecutive overs 8 overs 3.2 Before a bowler returns, there should be at least the same number of overs bowled from the end that the bowler last bowled from as that bowler bowled in the previous spell. 3.3 Should a break in play occur, each complete 7 minutes of that break should be deemed equivalent to an over being bowled from the end that the bowler last bowled from. 3.4 The 20 minutes refreshment interval should be deemed equivalent to 3 overs bowled from the end the bowler last bowled from. 3.5 The 30 minutes break in a full day match should be deemed equivalent to 4 overs bowled from the end the bowler last bowled from. 8 SMS DATA TO BE USED When Lodging Phone Scores - 2012/13 SMS Club SMS Club 52 Abbotsford Anglers 29 HMU-Mulgrave 1 Ashburton Willows 23 Heathmont 2 Ashwood 67 Knox Churches 3 AYC 26 La Trobe University 5 Blackburn North Baptist 27 Manningham 6 Blackburn North United 28 Marcellin OC 7 Boronia 55 Mazenod OC 39 Boroondara 25 Melbourne Deaf 9 Bulleen 30 Mont Albert 69 Burnley CYMS 32 Mulgrave 10 Burwood 33 North Balwyn 11 Burwood Utg Cant 34 North Balwyn Combined 13 Canterbury 35 Old Carey 56 Clifton Hill 37 Richmond City 14 Deepdene Bears 38 Richmond Union 15 Deepdene Uniting 54 Ringwood 16 Donvale 40 Salvation Army Waverley 17 East Doncaster 41 South Camberwell 58 East Ivanhoe Saints 42 St Barnabas 18 East Malvern RSL 43 St Kevins OC 48 East Malvern Tooronga 45 St Stephens Greythorn 4 Eastern Salvation Army 46 STC Sth Camberwell 68 Edinburgh 47 Surrey Hills 19 Glen Iris 48 Tooronga Districts 50 Hawthorn 49 Trinity Willison 51 Wyclif SMS Grade SMS Grade SMS Grade 1 Dunstan Shield 10 Macgibbon Shield 17 LOC 1 2 A Turf 11 Burt Shield 18 LOC 2 3 B Turf 12 A Synthetic 19 LOC 3 4 C Turf 13 B Synthetic 20 LOC 4 5 D Turf 14 C Synthetic 21 LOC 5 6 E Turf 15 D Synthetic 7 F Turf 8 G Turf 9 TURF FIXTURE & GRADINGS Dunstan A, B & C Turf only Round 1 Oct 06 1 v 4 3 v 2 5 v 8 7 v 6 9 v 12 11 v 10 Round 2 Oct 13 1 v 6 3 v 12 5 v 2 7 v 10 9 v 8 11 v 4 Round 3 Oct 20 & Oct 27 2 v 7 4 v 9 6 v 11 8 v 1 10 v 3 12 v 5 Reserve 1 Oct 28 Round 4 Nov 3 & Nov 10 1 v 7 4 v 6 5 v 3 8 v 2 9 v 11 12 v 10 Round 5 Nov 17 & Nov 24 2 v 1 3 v 4 6 v 12 7 v 9 10 v 8 11 v 5 Round 6 Dec 01 & Dec 08 1 v 9 4 v 12 6 v 8 7 v 5 10 v 2 11 v 3 Round 7 Dec 15 & Dec 22 2 v 6 3 v 7 5 v 1 8 v 4 9 v 10 12 v 11 Round 8 Jan 12 & Jan 19 1 v 10 3 v 6 5 v 4 7 v 12 9 v 2 11 v 8 Reserve 2 Jan 20 Round 9 Jan 26 & Feb 02 2 v 11 4 v 7 6 v 9 8 v 3 10 v 5 12 v 1 Round 10 Feb 09 & Feb 16 1 v 11 4 v 10 6 v 5 7 v 8 9 v 3 12 v 2 Round 11 Feb 23 & Mar 02 2 v 4 3 v 1 5 v 9 8 v 12 10 v 6 11 v 7 All Turf Semi-finals (SMS Round 12) March 09 & 10, Reserve Day March 11 All Turf Finals (SMS Round 13) March 16 & 23, Reserve Day March 24 DUNSTAN SHIELD A Turf (Wright Shield) B Turf (Sturgess Shield) SMS Grade 1 SMS Grade 2 SMS Grade 3 1 Surrey Hills 1 Glen Iris 1 Heathmont 2 Glen Iris 2 Heathmont 2 Richmond Union 3 Marcellin OC 3 St Barnabas 3 Boronia 4 Boronia 4 Old Carey 4 Marcellin OC 5 St Kevins OC 5 Canterbury 5 Mazenod OC 6 Mont Albert 6 Mazenod OC 6 St Kevins OC 7 Deepdene Bears## 7 East Malvern Tooronga 7 Hawthorn 8 Hawthorn 8 Deepdene Bears 8 Ashwood 9 East Doncaster 9 Bulleen 9 North Balwyn 10 North Balwyn 10 Richmond City 10 East Doncaster 11 Mulgrave 11 Donvale 11 Burwood 12 Ashburton Willows 12 Burwood 12 Mulgrave C Turf (Armstrong Shield) SMS Grade 4 1 Deepdene Bears 5 Mont Albert 9 Richmond City 2 Surrey Hills 6 Canterbury 10 Bulleen 3 East Doncaster 7 Glen Iris (S) 11 Ashburton Willows 4 St Barnabas 8 East Malvern Tooronga 12 Donvale S = Sunday play when drawn to play at home all season.
