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.
● A No Ball shall not be called if a player is thought to be throwing. Notify the coach or manager and seek an independent review from the JCB to assess the player or players concerned.
POINTS: All results to be emailed 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. Final over of Saturday morning play must commence before 12.00 pm in all matches.
LAWS AND RULES FOR “KIWI” CRICKET
Safety is first and foremost after this always play to get the best possible game for the children
These rules have been put together by the Wairarapa JCB with the aim of ensuring player safety and that the game is as ‘action packed’ as possible. These rules are also consistent with those in the Kiwi development programme being offered in our schools.

These rules took effect from 29 October 2004.

accommodate player ability.
5. Boundaries: Coaches can agree on a suitable boundary and mark with cones.
6. Batters: Bat in pairs, 2 overs per pair. Each time a batter is out, batsmen change ends but do not leave the
wicket until they have faced two overs between them.
7. LBW: Does not apply.
8. Bowling:
● Each player to bowl 1 six ball over
● All bowlers to bowl from the same end
● A ‘good’ ball is one that is within the reach of the batsman when playing a normal
cricket shot and reaches the batsman with two bounces.
NB: An underarm delivery is acceptable as long as it meets these requirements.
● A “bad” ball is one which is:
a) wide
or b) high
or c) falls well short of the batsman
or d) dribbles or rolls to the batsman
9. Free Hits: In the case of a “bad ball”, the ball is placed on a hitting tee and the batsman is given a free hit
forward of the batting crease.
10. Extras: Should they still not score any runs from the tee, an extra is credited to the batting team’s score.
11. Fielding: At the end of each over, fieldsmen rotate one position. No team may field more than eleven
players at a time. No player may be within 10 metres of the batsman.
12. Scoring: The total number of runs is divided by the total number of dismissals to get the team score.
Should you decide to vary these rules, please ensure that both coaches have full understanding and have agreed to these changes before the match starts.

changeovers.

7. Bowling: Each player is to bowl a maximum of two overs. Each over is of 6 balls. NO EXTRA
Rule changes to Incrediball grade:
Due to the amount of throwing in the incrediball grade this rule will now be in place for all incrediball matches.
1. 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.
There are no excuses for coaches and teams to not abide by these rules as all clubs have responded to the association noting the rule change
Many thanks
