The Spirit of Cricket

Preamble
The Spirit of Cricket, Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact
that it should be played not only according to the Laws (which are incorporated
within these Playing Conditions), but also within the Spirit of Cricket.
The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but
extends to all players, match officials and, especially in junior cricket, teachers,
coaches and parents.
Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket.
Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the umpires.
Play hard and play fair.
Accept the umpire’s decision. Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct
and encourage others to do likewise.
Show self-discipline, even when things go against you.
Congratulate the opposition on their successes and enjoy those of your own
team.
Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the match, whatever the
result.
Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork,
which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions,
especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.

be captain.

Replacement may be permitted in the following circumstances:

ground, weather or light or exceptional circumstances mean that it would be
dangerous or unreasonable for play to take place. Conditions shall not be
regarded as either dangerous or unreasonable merely because they are not
ideal. The fact that the grass and the ball are wet does not warrant the ground
conditions being regarded as unreasonable or dangerous.

risk to the safety of any player or umpire.

safety, it would not be sensible for play to proceed.

bowler of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free movement, or
the batter of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets, then
these conditions shall be regarded as so bad that it would be dangerous and
unreasonable for play to take place.

14.2 In the event of the fielder already being off the field at the commencement of
an interruption in play through ground, weather or light conditions or for other
exceptional circumstances, they shall be allowed to count any such stoppage
time as playing time, provided that they personally inform the umpires when
they are fit enough to take the field had play been in progress.
14.3 Similarly, if at the commencement of an interruption in play through ground,
weather or light conditions or for other exceptional circumstances, a player is on

18. MOVEMENT BY FIELDERS
18.1 Law 28.6 – Movement by any fielder other than wicket keeper shall be

following:
18.2.1 minor adjustments to stance or position in relation to the striker’s

allowed to the maximum number per bowler to make up the balance.
19.4 Examples:
19.4.1 Innings Reduced to 7 Overs

free hit for whichever batsman is facing it.
20.3 For any free hit, the striker can be dismissed only under the circumstances
that apply for a no ball, even if the delivery for the free hit is called wide ball. A
free hit will be given until such time as the over has been concluded.
20.4 Field changes are not permitted for free hit deliveries unless there is a
change of striker (the provision of clause 13 shall apply).

addition to any other runs which are scored or awarded. All runs which are run
or result from a wide ball which is not a no ball shall be scored as wide balls.

conduct, irrespective of the player or players concerned.

called a wide under this playing condition shall also count as one of the
allowable short pitched deliveries in that over.
22.2.8 In the event of a bowler bowling more than one fast, short-pitched
deliveries in an over as defined in clause 8 above, the umpire at the
bowler’s end shall call and signal no ball on each occasion. A different

strict interpretation in this regard)

the fall of the previous wicket, the action should be regarded by the
umpires as time wasting and the provisions of Law 42.10 shall apply.
23.3.3 An incoming batsman shall, on appeal, be timed out if they take
more than 1 minute & 30 seconds to come in, timed from the moment a
wicket falls until they arrive at the wicket to take guard.
24. OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD
24.1 Refer to Law 37.
24.2 In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, if an umpire feels that a

26.3 If the bowler fails in an attempt to run out the non-striker, the umpire shall
call and signal Dead ball as soon as possible.

27.2 The interval shall in all cases be 5 minutes.
28. INTERRUPTIONS
28.1 Uninterrupted Matches
28.1.1 Each team shall bat for 10 overs unless all out earlier.
28.1.2 If the team fielding first fails to bowl the required number of overs
by the scheduled time for cessation of the first innings, play shall not

cessation of the first innings. Any time wasting will be dealt with by the
umpires as per clause 20.3.
28.1.4 If the team batting first is dismissed in less than 10 overs, the team
batting second shall be entitled to bat for 10 overs.
28.1.5 If the team fielding second fails to bowl 10 overs by the scheduled

28.2 Delay or Interruption to the Innings of the team batting first

bowled in the match shall be based on a rate of 5 overs to 20 minutes in
the total remaining time available for play.
28.2.2 The revision of the number of overs should ensure, whenever
possible, that both teams have the opportunity of batting for the same
number of overs. The team batting second shall not bat for a greater
number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings
in less than its allocated overs. To constitute a match, a minimum of 5
overs have to be bowled to the side batting second, subject to the innings
not being completed earlier.
28.3 Delay or Interruption to the innings of the team batting second:
28.3.1 When playing time has been lost and, as a result, it is not possible
for the team batting second to have the opportunity of receiving its overs
allocated or revised allocation of overs in the playing time available, the
number of overs shall be reduced at a rate of 1 over per 3.5 minutes, in
respect of the lost playing time.
28.3.2 To constitute a match, a minimum of 5 overs have to be bowled to
the team batting second subject to the innings not being completed earlier.
28.3.3 The team batting second shall not bat for a greater number of overs
than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its
allocated overs.
28.3.4 A fixed time will be specified for the close of play by applying a rate
of 5 overs per 17.5 minutes. With the exception of drinks intervals, the
timing and duration of all relative delays, and interruptions in play, will be
taken into consideration in specifying this time.
28.3.5 If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the
scheduled close of play, then 15 runs will be awarded per over to the
batting team.
29. REVISED TARGET
29.1 In any case whether the number of overs to be faced by the team batting
second is less than the number of overs faced by the team batting first, a target
revision needs to be implemented. The procedure for this is as follows:
29.1.1 At the completion of the innings of the team batting first, the
umpires will confirm the correctness of the score of the team batting first
with the scorers.
29.1.2 When satisfied that the score is correct, they shall add one run to
the score to determine the target required by the team batting second.
29.2 The umpires will now calculate the TARGET run rate (to 2 decimal points)
applicable to the second innings. Should there be a reduction in overs for the
team batting second, the reduced overs as allocated will then be multiplied by the
TARGET run rate as calculated above. Where the calculation involves a fraction,
such a fraction would be rounded up to determine the TARGET score to be
achieved. The umpires would inform the team batting second of the required
TARGET score.
29.3 Examples
29.3.1 Side A scores 98 runs in 10 Overs +1 = 99 @ rate 9.90
29.3.2 Side B 5 Overs left @9.90 = 49.50 therefore would require 50 runs
30. PLAYERS CONDUCT

30.1 The disciplinary committee of the CGL will determine the different levels of
misconduct and all disciplinary processes. No player will be suspended during a
match.
