START TIME AND THE TOSS 1.1 Matches shall commence at 1.30pm until on or after 18th August when they shall commence at 1pm. 1.2 The toss is to take place at least 15 minutes before the appointed start time. Any team not in a position to do so shall forfeit the choice of whether to bat or bowl first. 1.3 A delayed start caused by a team's tardy attention to timeliness, and not by exceptional circumstances, will mean that team receiving one less over, when batting, for every 3 full minutes by which the start is delayed. 1.4 Even though arriving late, a player must be ready to participate in a match, at the very latest, by the start of the 24th over of the first innings. If fielding, the player must take the field of play by that time. If batting, the player or his captain must inform both umpires of his/her arrival before the 24th overs commenced. 2. HOURS & DURATION OF PLAY AND OVER LIMITATION FOR BOWLERS 2.1 The normal duration of play shall be 92 overs. These conditions apply in all Divisions except those referred to in paragraph 3.1 2.2 The side batting first shall receive not more than 46 overs 2.3 The side batting second shall receive the balance of the 92 overs, ignoring any odd balls. 2.4 The two captains, in consultation with the umpires, may agree to reduce the number of overs from the outset if they believe that impending bad weather will prevent the completion of a match. 2.5 Umpires shall call the last over of each innings in such a way as to be understood by the batsmen, the captain of the fielding side and the scorers. 2.5 The playing time allowed for each full innings of 46 overs is up to 165 minutes (2 hrs 45 minutes) 2.6 The umpires shall have the power to make allowances for time lost during an innings for drinks breaks and matters beyond the control of the fielding side and to deduct such time from the time taken to complete the innings. It is within the Spirit of the Game for umpires to advise captains when they are falling behind the required over rate and, at the close of play, of the points to be deducted. 2.7 A side that fails to bowl the overs in the time allowed (after any agreed adjustments) shall have points deducted as set out in paragraph 10.4. 2.8 A side bowling the opposition out within 2 hrs 45 minutes will not be subject to any penalties. 2.9 In a match where the overs are reduced by agreement, the time allowed will be proportionally reduced. 2.10 A side cannot return a negative value in points in a match. In any such case, the return will be zero points. 2.11 There shall be a tea interval of 20 minutes which, unless the captains agree otherwise, shall normally take place between innings. 2.12 In the event of a delayed start due to adverse playing conditions, no overs shall be deducted for the first 15 minutes lost. Thereafter, the match shall be reduced in length by 2 overs for every 6 minutes lost. The side batting first shall receive not more than half the overs so determined. 2.13 No match shall start later than 2 hours after the appointed start time, nor be reduced to fewer than 56 overs. 2.14 No match, once started, shall be reduced in length. 2.15 Any match in which the agreed number of overs have not been completed (e.g. due to stoppages for bad weather/light) and no result has been achieved, shall be deemed to have been abandoned. 2.16 No bowler shall be permitted to bowl more than 12 overs during an innings 2.17 If a match is reduced in length, the limit on overs-per-bowler shall be as set out below:- Overs in reduced match Over limit per bowler 90-92 12 82-88 11 74-80 10 66-72 9 58-64 8 Minimum 56 7 2.18 If, during a match, a bowler is unable to complete an over for any reason, the remaining balls in the over shall be bowled by another member of the fielding side apart from the bowler who delivered the previous over or anyone who has completed their allotted number of overs . Any balls so bowled will count as a complete over in each bowler's over allocation. 2.19 In a match where the side batting second has a balance of overs the restrictions on bowlers remains unaffected, and it remains that no bowler shall be permitted to bowl more than 12 overs 3. HOURS & DURATION OF PLAY AND OVER LIMITATION FOR BOWLERS 80 OVER MATCHES 3.1 In some divisions determined by the Management Committee, the normal duration of play shall be 80 overs. These divisions will be confirmed and published at the AGM. 3.2 The conditions will be the same as the 92 over matches except 3.3 The side batting first shall receive not more than 40 overs 3.4 The side batting second shall receive the balance of the 80 overs, ignoring any odd balls. 3.5 The playing time allowed for each full innings of 40 overs is up to 150 minutes (2 hrs 30 minutes) 3.6 A side that fails to bowl the overs in the time allowed (after any agreed adjustment) shall have points deducted as detailed in paragraph 10.5 3.7 A side bowling the opposition out within 2 hrs 30 minutes will not be subject to any penalties. 3.8 No match shall start later than 2 hours after the appointed start time, nor be reduced to fewer than 20 overs per innings. 3.9 No bowler shall be permitted to bowl more than 10 overs during an innings 3.10 If a match is reduced in length the limit on overs-per-bowler shall be as set out below Overs in reduced match Over limit per bowler 36-40 per innings 9 31-35 8 26-30 7 Minimum 20-25 6 3.11 In a match where the side batting second has a balance of overs the restrictions on bowlers remains unaffected, and it remains that no bowler shall be permitted to bowl more than 10 overs 4.

In the event of an infringement, the square leg umpire shall call 'No Ball'. 4.3 The fielding circle shall be marked with painted white dots at 5 yard intervals, each dot to be covered by a white plastic or rubber (not metal) disc measuring seven inches in diameter. It is the responsibility of the home team to ensure that the discs are in place prior to the start of the match. 5.
