QSDCA Playing Regulations Review 2020

PROPOSAL Make Interrupted One day Match Rules easier to understand and use.

REASON Recent experience indicates general misunderstanding. They are a bit intimidating in their present form.

CURRENT REGULATIONS Sat Reg 11.4 -11.9 and 11.10, Sunday Reg 14 -16 & 21 and Super 20 Reg 11 & 13 &19

These particular regulations govern how a limited over match is rearranged in the event of interruption by rain or light or other means. These rules are meant to make a shortened game provide a fair result.

The Origins of Limited Over Cricket

A defining characteristic of cricket during the 1950's and 1960's was the 'boring' draw.

'Playing for rain' was characterised by defensive field settings, negative bowling wide of the wicket and batsmen blocking to soak up time.

Cricket had a reputation as the most boring game in the world. You still hear this said gleefully by non-fans and cynics today.

To counter this negative view limited over cricket was invented.

The concept was simple enough: a result in one day no matter what.

It has been around since the early 1960's in England, and the early 70's in Australia. (Some experimental matches were tried in India as early as the 50's.)

But what if we lose time to rain?
A big problem comes up when the game is interrupted or shortened by rain. Each team's opportunity to win is disrupted unfairly because the number of overs are reduced.

So there must be some rules to make the game fair for each team in case of time lost to rain.

There are two elements to this...

:the equable re-arrangement of the overs for each side and
how to decide the winner.

In Subbies Cricket the result is decided is by Average Run Rate after minimum overs. (See Saturdays Reg 11.10 (min 15 overs) and Sundays Reg 21 (min. 25 overs) and Super 20 Reg 19 (min 10 overs)).

There are some possible improvement options for this but that is for another discussion. Hint: We could introduce the Duckworth Lewis Stern method on an App but every time I bring it up there's a lot of "no, never" from some people....

This discussion is limited to rearrangement of the overs in case of rain delay. Saturday Reg 11.4 to 11.8 and Sunday Regs 14 to 16 determine how a match is affected by delays and interruptions.

These regulations were introduced in their current form in 2017. They were adapted from the Standard ICC One Day International Rules found at the Cricket Australia Website. https://www.cricketaustralia.com.au/cricket/rules-and-regulations

These regulations seem complicated to read. Also they're a little inconsistent between various competitions.

But also adapted from those One Day International Rules was the Calculation Sheets for figuring out match rearrangements during play.

Used correctly by the umpires these allow a fair competition out of the time remaining after any time lost due to rain.
I think they work well and give umpires especially the means to get through an interrupted game successfully. But I suspect some umpires and players find it confusing.

Two approaches have been suggested.

1. Do some training for umpires, captains, club representatives....(and who else? I think that mostly covers it.)

Well training... here's two study sheets for training umpires to use the Calculation Sheets for Saturday 35 and Sunday 50 matches.

I wrote these ages ago and updated them again recently. I feel no one has been interested in looking at them up to now. Maybe now is the time....

Please Note: These would need to be updated for use with the new rules below.

2. Simplify the wording of the rules..

There are several models to choose from.

The SEQC Plunkett Cup	LINK	https://tinyurl.com/y8j6njqr
The ICC ODI Rules 2017	LINK	https://tinyurl.com/ycpgw245
The Over 50's National Championships Oct 2018	LINK	https://tinyurl.com/ybc4elbn
Marist Bros Carnival Rules Dec 2019	LINK	https://tinyurl.com/y835k6j3

Some of these are much briefer but have significant flaws. e.g. The lose an over each team for each 7 or 8 minutes lost each fails to work if there's an interruption in the first innings which exceeds the remaining first innings overs.
The ICC rules are the most rigorous i.e. the most comprehensive and workable.

What I have done is to maintain the current rules which are based on the ICC ODI International Rules but with a QSDCA flavour. and slightly more procedural

A new version just for Saturday One Dayers first.
This focusses on these issues:

Over reductions (for both teams)
Over reductions for just the second team
Moved cut off /interval/end of innings times
Shortened Breaks (where possible)
Reduced over limits for bowlers

For these points in the match:

First innings interruption
Should an interruption cause the first innings to close
Second innings interruption

Also the rules should be parallel with the other competition rules, sharing common language, intentions and terms (and numbers so the renumbering will work) .

BELOW- Versions for Sunday 50 and Super 20 one Day interruption rules.

        THE TEAM BATTING FIRST
15.4    26.8    If play is suspended and time is lost before the end of the first innings the number of overs remaining in the match will be the remaining amount of available playing time in minutes divided by four.
15.5    26.9    When calculating the remaining playing time available for the match the duration of the interval between innings will be taken into account.

15.10    26.18    If there is more than one interruption to the innings of the side batting first, calculations will be based on the original scheduled close of play, rather than any rescheduled close resulting from the previous interruption.

        THE TEAM BATTING SECOND
15.12    26.19    If play is suspended and time is lost after the end of the first innings the number of overs remaining in the match will be the remaining amount of available playing time in minutes divided by four.
15.14    26.20    In the second innings calculations resulting in a fraction of an over will rounded down.
new    26.21    Example: After 10 overs and 40 minutes of play in the second innings, playing time is lost. If play can resume when there is 83 minutes of playing time remaining then there will be 20 overs to play.

        NEW END TIME OF INNINGS (SECOND INNINGS)
15.16    26.22    When playing time is lost in the second innings a New End Time of Innings Time will be calculated by multiplying remaining second innings overs by four minutes and adding to the restart time.

16.3    25.5.3    This will apply to both innings of the match.
16.4    25.5.4    If the side batting second is credited with runs in this way and this consequently takes their score past that of the side batting first then the match will be deemed to be won by the side batting second.

11.6    26.2    Interrupted match means any suspension of play that has occurred under Law 2.7 Fitness for Play or Law 2.8 Suspension of play in dangerous or unreasonable circumstances.
new    26.3    If play is delayed or interrupted the match may be shortened by * reducing the number of overs for both teams, * reducing the number of overs for the team batting second * moving End of Innings Compulsory Closure times, * shortening intervals, * reducing over limits for bowlers.
19.1    26.4    Unless either team is dismissed in less than 10 overs, to make a completed match each team must receive a minimum of 10 overs. See Playing Regulation 33.
new    26.4.1    For example if the team batting first completes its innings then the team batting second (unless all out or having passed the first team’s score) must face at least 10 completed overs to achieve a result.
11.7    26.5    In the event of a suspension occurring in the middle of an over, the number of total overs lost will be calculated as in Playing Regulation 26.6 and the innings of the team batting will continue from the point of the interruption.

        CALCULATION SHEET Super 20 Edition
        FULL SIZE FORM AVAILABLE at https://qsdca.com.au/05-playing-regulations

        THE TEAM BATTING FIRST
11.8    26.8    If play is suspended and time is lost before the end of the first innings the number of overs remaining in the match will be the remaining amount of available playing time in minutes divided by four.
11.11    26.9    When calculating the remaining playing time available for the match the duration of the interval between innings will be taken into account.
new    26.10    In Super 20 the interval is always 10 minutes between innings.
11.12    26.11    In the first innings calculations resulting in a fraction of an over the fraction will be rounded up.
11.14    26.12    If the total number of overs in the match (remaining plus completed) results in an odd number, then one over will be added.
11.13    26.13    Remaining overs in the match will be split so that both teams have the opportunity to bat for the same number of overs.
new    26.14    For Example: After 9 overs and 36 minutes of play in the first innings, playing time is lost. If play can resume when there is 64 minutes remaining Playing Time then first innings will be 4 more overs and second innings will be 13 overs

        NEW FIRST INNINGS FINISH TIME
new    26.15    When playing time is lost in the first innings a New First Innings Finish Time will be calculated by multiplying remaining first innings overs by four minutes and adding to the restart time.
11.17    26.16    If the team fielding first fails to bowl the revised number of overs by the New First Innings Finish Time, play will continue subject to conditions of ground, weather and light until the required number of overs has been bowled or the innings is completed, and Playing Regulation 25.5 will apply.
11.15    26.17    All relative delays, interruptions in play, and the duration of the interval will be taken into account.
11.16    26.18    If there is more than one interruption to the innings of the side batting first, calculations will be based on the original scheduled close of play, rather than any rescheduled close resulting from the previous interruption.

        THE TEAM BATTING SECOND
11.16a    26.19    If play is suspended and time is lost after the end of the first innings the number of overs remaining in the match will be the remaining amount of available playing time in minutes divided by four.
11.18    26.20    In the second innings calculations resulting in a fraction of an over will rounded down.
new    26.21    Example: After 10 overs and 40 minutes of play in the second innings, playing time is lost. If play can resume when there is 23 minutes playing time remaining then there will be 5 overs to play.

        NEW END TIME OF INNINGS (SECOND INNINGS)
11.20    26.22    When playing time is lost in the second innings a New End Time of Innings Time will be calculated by multiplying remaining second innings overs by four minutes and adding to the restart time.
11.22    26.23    If the team fielding second fails to bowl the revised overs by the New End Time of Innings Time (close of play), the hours of play will be extended subject to conditions of ground, weather and light until the overs have been bowled or a result achieved, and Playing Regulation 25.5 will apply.
new    26.24    If the innings of the team batting first has been completed prior to the scheduled, or Rescheduled Compulsory Closure Time, then any calculation relating to the revision of overs will not be effective until an amount of time equivalent to that by which the second innings started early has elapsed.
11.19    26.25    The team batting second will not bat for a greater number of overs than the first team unless the latter completed its innings in less than its allocated overs.
11.21    26.26    The timing and duration of all relative delays and interruptions in play with respect to the second innings will be taken into account in specifying this time.

    27    NUMBER OF OVERS PER BOWLER
        Applies to Super 20 Only

13.1    27.1    In an uninterrupted innings no bowler will be permitted to bowl more than 4 overs.
13.2    27.2    In an interrupted innings, where the overs are reduced, each bowler is limited to the number of overs shown below.
        Total overs 16 to 20 11 to 15 10 Max. overs each bowler 4 3 2
    27.3    Nil
13.3    27.4    When play is suspended mid-over and on resumption the bowler has exceeded the new maximum limit, he/she will be allowed to finish the incomplete over.
13.4    27.5    In the event of a bowler being unable to complete an over, the remaining balls will be bowled by another bowler.
13.4.1    27.6    Such part of an over will count as a full over only in so far as each bowler's limit is concerned.
