One Day (110 Over) Rules

Hamilton Cricket Association One Day Rules.

All competition matches shall be played subject to and in accordance with the laws of cricket as established and interpreted by the Marylebone Cricket Club, as adopted by New Zealand cricket and subject to any amendments and modifications which may be determined.

In the event of the first day of a two day game being cancelled/rained off, day two becomes a one day game.

Two day playing conditions will apply except that:

The Hours of play and Interval:
Play commences: 10.30 am
Break between innings 30 minutes
Scheduled finish time 5.30 pm

Overs:
Maximum of 110 overs.

The team batting first shall occupy no more than 60 overs, but may declare after the completion of 55 overs.

The team batting second shall occupy the balance of the overs not occupied by the team batting first. ie if the team batting first is bowled out in 30 overs the team batting second has 80 overs to achieve the target.

In a delayed start or a rain affected match, the team batting second must be able to face a minimum of 30 overs before it can be deemed a match.

Example 1. Team batting first bats for 60 overs and rain occurs before the second innings. A minimum of 1 hour and 45 minutes must be available for a result to occur (30 overs x 3.5 minutes).

Example 2. If rain delays the start of the game the minimum amount of time available for the match to commence would be 4 hours and 10 minutes (35 overs maximum for the first innings and 30 overs for the second innings).

Half an hour must be lost before there is any reduction in innings.

10 minutes can be deducted from the break to assist in the completion of the match; however this is to be by the agreement of both captains.

The revised target/s due to weather interference is the total runs scored by the team batting first divided by the overs faced and multiplied by the number of overs available to the team batting second.

Points system:

Win: if the winning team declares at 55 overs and the team batting second does not achieve the target. 6 points
Win: if the team bats more than 55 overs and bowls out the opposition. 6 Points.
Win: if the team batting second achieves the target. 6 points
Loss: if the team batting first declares at 55 overs and loses.1 point
Loss: if the team batting first declares at 60 overs and loses.0 points

No result: if the team batting first bats more than 55 overs but does not bowl out the opposition. 3 each

No Balls:
One run penalty in addition to any additional runs scored.
Bowlers are allowed one short pitched delivery per over.
Any delivery which passes the batsman on the full above waist height but only while standing upright shall be called a no ball.

Wides:
If the batsman is unable to play a proper shot while in his normal batting stance the delivery shall be deemed a wide.

Bowling restrictions:
There are no bowling restrictions excepting that no bowler may bowl consecutive overs.

Fielding restrictions:
There must be a minimum of 4 fielders plus the wicket keeper inside an imaginary 30 metre circle for the duration of the innings.

Time restrictions:
It is expected that over rates per hour be kept consistently above 17. Failure to do so could result in loss of points or penalties. This will be monitored by umpires.
