COMPLAINTS These should be addressed initially to the JCB committee. DRAW/POINTS TABLE Is available on the website: 7 Junior Cricket Handbook Season

8 PLAYING INFORMATION ALL GRADES Junior Cricket must encourage full participation and equal opportunity for all players. Too many coaches are categorising players as a batter or a bowler too early and subsequently consigning these players to a specific position in the batting order and/or not bowling them, and consequently the player is not being developed to their possible full potential. Coaches are strongly requested to ensure all players develop their skills and talent during their time in the JCB grades. LAWS OF THE GAME: All cricket is played under MCC laws of cricket except for additional cricket rules that apply in the grades as stated below. TEAMS: Team changes for any reason during the course of a match are allowed provided that the opposing team s coach or manager is notified. BOWLING: All players are encouraged to bowl over the wicket. Teams are encouraged to bowl 18 overs per hour (where 6 ball overs apply.) NO BALLS: The ball must bounce more than twice to be called a NO Ball in Traditional cricket. Any delivery which passes, or would have passed, above shoulder height when the striker is standing in his or her normal position shall be called a No Ball. Any delivery that passes on the full above waist height of a striker standing in his or her normal position shall be called a NO Ball. Throwing: Please see below on laws and rules surrounding throwing in matches. POINTS: All results to be ed to Hansel Wiramanaden. No results, No Points! Every Saturday the teams playing in the Hardball Grade will be playing for a trophy which is Up for Grabs on a weekly basis. Whoever holds the trophy retains it until they lose a game. It is at that stage passed on to the winning team. They then become the new holder of the trophy. FIELDING: In all Grades of cricket no fielder may stand closer than 10 metres from the strikers wicket on the on-side or in front of point on the off-side until the ball has been played by the batsman. GEAR: Each team is to supply 3 stumps, 2 bails and their own ball. TIME: Final over of Friday evening play must commence before 7.30 pm in all matches.

If a bowler throws the ball the umpire must firstly give them a warning in order to correct the action. (If there is a wicket on the delivery it will not be counted, runs etc however will be scored to the batting team) 2. If the bowler then throws another delivery one of two things can happen: A) The bowler can be removed from the bowling crease (if another bowler finishes their over then it is counted as a full over to both bowlers) B) The bowler can move up the wicket (roughly two thirds away from the batsman) and underarm the delivery. The same rules apply re no balls for number of bounces and height of delivery passing the batsman for the under arm delivery These rules must now be adhered to and coaches/umpires need to enforce them.
