WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
- Make Innings Finish Time ("cut off time") in Sunday 50 and Over 40 work the same way as Saturday 35 change in 2022/23.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
These changes are proposed to update parallel regulations (Reg 25, 26, 27) in Sunday 50, Super 20 and Over 40's to the new regulation trialled in Saturday 35 over matches in 2022/23. Some Super 20 items will remain
There were some updates to the wording of Sat 35 Reg 25 suggested in an umpires meeting. Splitting up the long and comlex sentence in Reg 25. and 25.2 serves to make the rule more easily understood.
DISCUSSION
This change has worked well in Saturday 35 over one dayers in 2022/23.
- First batting side's innings is not stopped at the cut off time.
- First batting side gets chance to face all 35 (or 40 or 50) overs.
- First bowling side's batting innings (the second innings of the match) is shortened to overs bowled by the cut off time.
Notes about changes
- Similar adjustment will be made for Sunday 40 Over and 50 Over matches.
- Super 20 has a separate regulation which allows all overs to be completed AND a 6 run per over penalty applied to the bowling side. (See Super 20 Regulation 25.5)
- The terms cut-off time, innings compulsory closure time and End Time of Innings are confusing, contradictory and inconsistent. They should be made the same in each competition. Innings Finish Time is simple and clear and will replace all of these.
- Reg 25 and 26 for Sat 35, Sunday 50, Super 20 and Over 40 competition sneed to be updated.
- Batting side wasting time (Law 41.10) must be enforced by umpires.
- The key part of this law is that batters are expected to be ready to face the bowling when the bowling side is ready to bowl. Any attempt to waste time, particularly close to a cut-off time, consequently risks a 5 run penalty against the batting team.
- A note could be added to the regulation reminding players and umpires of Law 41.10 will be added.
How does this work in interrupted matches (viz Reg 26.15)???
In a match interrupted by rain or light, the cut off time is recalculated based on allowing an over for each 4 minutes remaing in the match. To make this clear, change of "cut-off time" is allowed only by umpires who may use the calculation sheet. A slow over rate leading up to a new "cut-off time" can be dealt with in a similar manner to the new Reg 25.
- Reg 26.15, 26.16 and Reg 26.22 need updates to reflect changes to Regulation 25.
PROPOSED REGULATIONS
Start times and innings finish times vary for each competition. For simplicity, only the case of 1pm Saturday start and 35 overs is of presented here.
Regs for Sunday 50, Over 40, and Sat 35 12,30pm start will be added. Some Super 20 will be changed. Super 20 Reg 25 works differently. Refer to notes in middle column.
