Cricket Victoria Handbook - Season 2022/23

WELCOME TO SEASON 2022-23

After a couple of challenging seasons for all in our community, we can now start to see the light at the end of the tunnel as we prepare for an exciting season of cricket.

While the pandemic has forced us to think about sport and life in different ways than we had before, cricket has found a way to carry on.

That is in no small part due to the tireless efforts of the volunteers at clubs and association across Victoria, who have gone to incredible lengths to ensure that the show has gone on while managing health and wellbeing protocols.

As we begin to come through the pandemic, we expect the 2022-23 season to return to some form of normality.

In our Premier Men’s competitions and many community competitions, that will include a return to two-day, red ball cricket, for the first time in two seasons.

Also, for the first time in two seasons we will see a T20 competition for our Premier Women’s competition.

Despite the challenges of last summer, we enjoyed a successful cricket season across our state.

There was plenty to celebrate –and in reflecting on last season, I would like to congratulate all of our premiership winners in Victoria.

In our Premier Women’s competition, Melbourne enjoyed an incredible season.

Melbourne defeated Carlton by six wickets to claim the First XI title – after also winning the minor premiership – alongside the 2nd XI, 3rd XI and Under 18 premierships.

Congratulations also go to Carlton, who won both the Men’s First XI competition and the Super Slam.

Carlton claimed their second premiership in four seasons with a four-wicket win against CaseySouth Melbourne, who incredibly jumped from 15th to runners-up in the space of 12 months.

In the individual honours at Premier level, we also had two very deserving winners.

Ringwood’s Bhavi Devchand won her second Una Paisley Medal in three seasons and Footscray’s Dean Russ won the Jack Ryder Medal, becoming the first player from Footscray to earn the honour since the 1979-80 season. I congratulate both players on their outstanding seasons.

To our Premier clubs and our community clubs competing in VSDCA, VMCU, VCCL and WCCC competitions, good luck for the summer ahead.

I look forward to following another fantastic summer of cricket and to seeing you around the grounds.

VICTORIAN PREMIER CRICKET MEN’S 1ST XI CAREER RECORDS

The following career records are for each of the 329 players who took part in Victorian Premier Cricket Men’s 1st XI matches during the 2020-21 season. Details for A.J. Finch & W.J. Pucovski, who did not appear in Premier Cricket in 2020-21 but represented Victoria during the season, are also included. Records include performances in One Day/Twenty20/White Ball finals from 2002-03 to 2017-18 but not those in earlier limited-overs competitions.

Performances in T20 matches which formed part of the regular competition from 2010-11 to 2017-18 are included but those played in other Premier T20 competitions (including the Vic SUPER SLAM) are excluded. Where a player has represented more than one club, his most recent club is indicated by an asterisk. Records for Footscray, Greenvale Kangaroos, Kingston Hawthorn and Monash Tigers include performances for, respectively, Footscray Edgewater, North Melbourne, Hawthorn-Monash University and Richmond.

(b) A part of an over bowled under the provisions of Law of Cricket 17.8 shall be treated as one full over in the limit for any underage bowler concerned in the over.

14.11.4 Break Between Spells: Length of Break

(a) The break between spells shall be a minimum of the number of overs bowled from the same end as the completed spell in a Rule 16 Match and half the number of overs bowled from the same end as the completed spell in a Rule 17 Match, including scheduled intervals and any unscheduled breaks in play

(b) For scheduled intervals and unscheduled breaks in play -calculation of overs included in minimum spell shall be taken from the Actual Batting Time Tables in Rule 16 (2 Day Match) and Rule 17 (One Day Match).

(c) A bowler who has bowled a spell of less than the maximum spell permitted (for their age as defined in Rule 14.11.2 and Rule 14.11.3) may resume bowling prior to the completion of the necessary break but this shall be considered an extension of the same spell and the maximum spell limit for that age of Player shall still apply. Following the completion of the extended spell, the normal break between spells as in Rule 14.11.3(a) shall apply with the break within the spell to be disregarded.

(d) If a change of innings occurs, and a bowler commences bowling in the new innings within the minimum break in their spell, this shall be considered an extension of the same spell and the maximum spell limit and daily limits for that age of Player shall still apply

(e) If any break in play or the end of a day’s play results in an over not being completed then that part of the over bowled after the break shall constitute one over for the purposes of calculating the bowler’s spell and daily limit.

(e) For clarity, if, at the time play resumes following an interruption to the side batting second, or anytime thereafter, the new DLS target score, which has been set (for re-calculation of oversbeing a minimum of 15 overs), has already been reached or passed by the side batting second, the Match shall thereupon cease, even if 15 overs had not been completed to that point.

17.5 DECLARATIONS

Neither side shall be permitted to declare its innings closed.

17.6 RESULTS OF MATCHES

17.6.1 Win or Tie: Second Side’s Overs Entitlement Received

If the second batting team receives its entitlement of overs under Rule 17.3 or is dismissed in fewer overs, the winner shall be the team with the higher actual score and if the scores are equal the Match shall be a tie.

17.6.2 Win or Tie: Fewer Overs for Second Side

If a win result has not been reached already and the completed overs received or to be received by the second batting team are fewer than its entitlement under Rule 17.3, a number of runs as calculated in Rule 17.6.4 shall be the first team’s par score which, subject to the provision for a draw in Rule 17.6.3, must be exceeded by the second team for a win or equalled for a tie.

17.6.3 Drawn Match

If the team batting second receives fewer than 15 completed overs and no other result has been obtained, the Match shall be drawn.

17.6.4 Calculation of Target Score – Duckworth-Lewis-Stern

(a) Interrupted Matches - Calculation of the Target Score

If, due to suspension of play after the start of the Match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 15 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method calculated by the MyCricket Live Score App. (b) Prematurely Terminated Matches

If the innings of the team batting second is suspended (with at least 15 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the Match to be resumed, the Match will be decided by comparison with the par score determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. If the score is equal to the par score, the Match is a tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the par score.

Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at the start of an over.

17.9.7 Powerplay Overs – Interruptions – Match – Women’s Match Only

If play is interrupted during non-Powerplay Overs, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how many remaining Powerplay Overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay Overs for the innings is derived from the table in Rule 17.9.5. Any Powerplay Overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been in sequence: the initial allocation then the batting team’s allocation. The decision of the batting team of when to take any remaining Powerplay Overs is made in the usual way.

17.9.8 Powerplay Overs – Interruptions

(a) If play is interrupted during the first Powerplay and on resumption the overs required to be bowled in that Powerplay have already been exceeded, then the batting Powerplay will assume to have been taken consecutively up to that point.

If play is interrupted during a Powerplay and on resumption the total number of Powerplay Overs has already been exceeded, then the fielding restrictions will be lifted immediately.

Note: This is the only circumstance under which the Powerplay status can be changed during an over.

(c) If following an interruption while a Powerplay is not in progress, it is found on resumption that the recalculated number of Powerplay Overs remaining equals or exceeds the number of overs to be bowled in the innings, then the batting Powerplay will commence at the start of the next over.

17.9.9 Powerplay Overs – Signals

(a) At the commencement of each block of Powerplay Overs, the Umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating the arm in a large circle.

(b) The Umpire shall also indicate to the fielding captain before any signal is made that the batting team has chosen its Powerplay.

17.9.10

Powerplay Overs – Interruptions – Match: Men’s Matches Only

If play is interrupted at any stage during an innings, the table in Rule 17.9.5 Applies, and the relevant Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over.

17.9.11 Powerplay Overs – Scoreboard

Where possible, a “P” or a light or other indicator shall be displayed on the scoreboard whenever the Powerplay Overs are being bowled.

17.10 NO BALL

17.10.1 Free Hit After a No Ball

The delivery following any no ball shall be a free hit for which ever batter is facing it. If the delivery for the free hit is not a legitimate delivery (any kind of no ball or wide), then the next delivery will become a free hit for which ever batter is facing. For any free hit, the striker can only be dismissed under the circumstances that apply for a no ball even if the delivery for the free hit is called a wide. Changes to fielding positions are only permitted if a different batter is on strike for the free hit delivery or the No Ball was a result of a fielding restriction breach, in which case the field may be changed only to the extent of correcting the breach. The bowler’s end Umpire will signal a free hit (after the normal no ball signal) by extending one arm straight upwards and moving it in a circular motion.

17.10.2 Fast Short-Pitched Deliveries above Shoulder Height of Striker

(a) In any one over a bowler shall be permitted to bowl two fast short-pitched deliveries which, having bounced, pass or would have passed above shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the crease. Should a third such delivery be bowled in an over either Umpire shall call and signal no ball and indicate this is a first and final warning in accordance with Law 41.6.3. If the bowler is no-balled for the same offence a second time in the innings the removal procedures of Law 41.6 shall be applied.

(b) Any fast short-pitched delivery, not being a no ball which passes so high that it is not sufficiently within the striker ’s reach for it to be hit by the bat with a normal cricket stroke, shall be called and signalled “wide” ball by the Umpire at the bowler’s end.

17.10.3 Dangerous and Unfair Bowling

High – Non-Pitching Deliveries

Law 41.7 of the MCC Laws of Cricket applies.

17.11 WIDE BALL

Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation in regard to this Law in order to prevent negative bowling wide of the wicket. Any delivery which in the opinion of the Umpire does not give the striker a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide. Instructions to Umpires in respect of wides is contained in the “Wide Ball Interpretation in “White Ball Cricket” appendix to these Rules.

In summary the following applies.

(a) Leg side All balls that pass wide of where the striker is standing or has stood at any point after the ball came into play for that delivery, and which also would have passed wide of the striker standing in a normal batting position.

(b) Offside. A delivery shall be called “Wide” if it passes:

(i) outside the “Wide Guideline (Off Side)” with the batter in a “normal” batting stance; or (ii) wide of the return crease, regardless of the striker bringing it within reach or

(iii) a bowler bowling around the wicket bowling full pitched yorkers on the off side just within the “Wide Guideline (Off Side)”.

(iv)The delivery is not a Wide if the batter moves to the off side and brings the ball within reach.

(c) Wide - Reverse Sweep or Switch Hit. When a switch hit or reverse sweep is played or attempted the striker is deemed to have brought the ball within reach on both sides of the wicket and the Wide Guideline (Off Side) shall apply on both sides of the stumps. The leg stump wide interpretation is no longer in play.

17.12 NOTIFICATION TO CAPTAINS

After each adjustment of an anticipated batting time the Umpires shall inform both captains of the reduced time and the effect on overs to be bowled, limitation for bowlers, fielding restrictions and, where appropriate, par score.

17.13 MAXIMUM OVERS FOR UNDER-AGE BOWLERS OF MEDIUM AND FAST PACE

Directions for limiting the maximum number of overs that under-age medium pace and fast bowlers may bowl consecutively in one spell and in a day’s play, and the responsibilities of captains and Umpires in this respect, are set out in Rule 14.11.

18.5 PLAYING CONDITIONS

Playing conditions shall be as in Rule 17.3 through to 17.14 subject to the following inclusion:

RESERVE DAY

All Premier Cricket Grand Finals played under One Day Playing Conditions will have provision of a Reserve Day should play not be able to commence on the original date of the Match being fixtured.

The Match starts when the coin toss takes place and teams are exchanged. If the toss occurs on the scheduled day and there is no play thereafter, the result of the toss and the named teams shall be carried through to the Reserve Day.

If play is interrupted on the scheduled day, the Umpires shall use the available extra time and, if necessary, reduce the number of overs to try to achieve a result on that day.

Each team must have had the opportunity to bat for a minimum of 15 overs for a result to be achieved. If play has not resumed by the cut-off time required to allow the minimum number of overs to be bowled to achieve a result on the scheduled day, play shall be abandoned for the day and the Reserve Day shall be used to complete the Match.

The hours of play on the Reserve Day shall be the same as on the scheduled day for the Match (including the extra time provision).

On the Reserve Day, play shall recommence under the same assumption that the last ball was bowled on the scheduled day.

In making their decisions in relation to ground, weather and light, the Umpires shall aim to maximize play on the scheduled day of the Match in order to achieve a result on that day, as if there was no Reserve Day available.

The treatment of the pitch on the Reserve Day by the Ground Authority shall be as follows:

• Covering and removal of covers – as for the scheduled day of the Match under Rule 12.5; and

• Mowing and rolling – as per Rule 12.3.

EXAMPLE 1:

Match starts at 50 overs per side and there is an interruption at 19 overs. Overs are reduced to 46 overs per side and play is about to resume. Before another ball is bowled it rains and play is abandoned for the day. As the Match did not resume under the revised overs, the Match should continue on the Reserve Day at the original 50 overs per side with the overs reduced if necessary during the Reserve Day.

EXAMPLE 2:

The same start as in example 1 i.e., Match starts at 50 overs per side and there is an interruption at 19 overs. Overs are reduced to 46 overs per side and play is about to resume. This time, play starts and after an over has been bowled it rains and play is abandoned for the day. As the Match has resumed, it is continued on the Reserve Day at 46 overs per side with the overs further reduced if necessary during the Reserve Day.

If the reduction calculation results in fewer than 5 overs the Match shall be abandoned.

(b) Where 5 completed overs or more have been bowled and an interruption is continuing, compulsory closure of the first team’s innings shall occur when the reduced overs calculated in Rule 17.3.2(a) equate with the number bowled.

(d) The second team’s overs shall not be adjusted unless adverse conditions reduce the batting time from the end of the interval until scheduled cessation time to less than that listed in the Table at Rule 17.3.3 for those overs. In such case the overs for the reduced time shall be its entitlement.

(e) If play ceases due to Players being off the field or leaving it after the scheduled cessation time, the Match shall end the overs already bowled shall be the team batting second’s entitlement for the purposes of this Rule.

(f) Calculation of target score for all XIs shall be in accordance with the procedure in Rule 17.6.4 substituting “15 overs” with “5 overs” in Rules 17.6.4 (a) and 17.6.4 (b).

19.5 OVER LIMITS FOR BOWLERS

19.5.1 Limit Per Bowler

A bowler shall not deliver more than one-fifth of the maximum of overs permitted in Rule 19.4. Where overs from a bowler already exceed a reduced limit the number bowled shall be that bowler’s limit.

19.5.2 Limit Reached or Exceeded

No further deliveries shall be made by a bowler who has reached or exceeded a re-calculated limit except to complete an over previously commenced by that Player.

19.5.3 Fractional Adjustments

19.5.4 Part-Over Incapacity or Suspension

A part of an over bowled under the provisions of Law 17.8 shall count as one full over in the limit of each bowler concerned in that over.

19.6 THE BALL

White CV-approved balls will be used as per Rule 14.8.3. One new ball shall be used for each innings.

19.7 THE RESULT

19.7.1 Normal Conditions

When there is no interruption after play has commenced and when both teams have had the opportunity of batting for the same agreed number of overs, the team scoring the higher number of runs shall be the winner.

19.7.2 Super Over (Finals Only)

In the event of a tie in a finals Match, where possible, the result shall be determined by the use of the Super Over. The procedure for the Super Over is as follows.

(a) Subject to ground, weather or light conditions the Super Over will take place on the scheduled day of the Match at a time to be determined by the Umpires. In normal circumstances it shall commence 5 minutes after the conclusion of the Match. The interval between innings shall be 5 minutes.

(b) 30 minutes of extra time (taken from the start of the Super Over) is allocated to complete the Super Over. Should play be delayed prior to or during the Super Over, once the playing time lost exceeds the 30 minutes, the Super Over shall be abandoned. See clause (p).

(c) The Super Over will take place on the pitch allocated for the Match (the designated pitch) unless otherwise determined by the Umpires in consultation with the ground authority.

(d) The Umpires shall stand at the same end as they stood during the Match.

(e) In both innings of the Super Over, the fielding team shall choose which end to bowl from. Once the opening batting pair enters the field of play they are not permitted to be changed. Similarly, once a determination is made by the bowling team as to which end they will bowl from and the opening batters take their respective positions at each end of the pitch, they are not permitted to change ends. For clarity, this playing condition is designed to ensure that the fielding team may determine its bowling strategies based on which batters are opening, and then the batters can choose ends based on the bowling strategies.

(f) Only the starting 11 Players for each team in the main Match may participate in the Super Over. Should any Player be unable to continue to participate in the Super Over due to injury, illness or other wholly acceptable reasons, the Playing Conditions of the main Match shall apply.

(g) Any penalty time, warnings or suspensions being served in the main Match shall be carried forward to the Super Over.

(h) Each team’s over is played with the same fielding restrictions as apply for the last over in the Match.

(i) The team batting second in the Match will bat first in the Super Over.

(j) The same ball (or a ball of a similar age if the original ball is out of shape) as used at the end of the team’s innings shall be used for the Super Over.

(k) Each team shall bat for one over unless all out earlier.

(l) If the original Match was a tie under the DLS method, clause (n) below immediately applies.

(m) Otherwise, in the event of the teams having the same score after the Super Over has been completed, the team whose batters hit the most number of boundaries combined from its two innings in both the main Match and the Super Over shall be the winner.

(n) If the number of boundaries hit by both teams is equal, the team whose batters scored more boundaries during its innings in the main Match (ignoring the Super Over) shall be the winner.

(o) If still equal, a count-back from the final ball of the Super Over shall be conducted. The team with the higher scoring delivery shall be the winner. If a team loses all wickets during its over, then any un-bowled deliveries will be counted as dot balls. Note that for this purpose, the runs scored from a delivery is defined as the total team runs scored since the completion of the previous legitimate ball, i.e. including any runs resulting from a Wide ball, a No ball or penalty runs.

Example

Runs scored from: Team 1 Team 2

Ball 6 11

Ball 5 4 4

Ball 4 2 1

Ball 3 6 2

Ball 2 0 1

Ball 1 2 6

(p) In this example both teams scored an equal number of runs from the 6th and 5th ball of their innings. However, Team 1 scored two runs from its 4th ball while Team 2 scored one run, so Team 1 is the winner.

19.7.3 Super Over not possible

(a) In preliminary Matches, if the minimum number of overs has been bowled to constitute a Match (five overs per team) and scores are level the Match shall be declared a tie.

(b) If circumstances make a Super Over impossible in the Final the team that finished higher on the points table at the conclusion of the preliminary Matches shall be declared the winner.

19.8 FIELDING RESTRICTIONS

The following fielding restrictions apply.

(a) At the instant of delivery there shall not be more than five fielders on the leg side.

(b) Men’s: During the first four overs of each innings (“Fielding Restriction Overs”): a maximum of two fielders permitted outside the fielding restriction area; and (i) a block of two consecutive floating Fielding Restriction overs (for an uninterrupted Match) shall be taken at the discretion of the batters at the wicket between the end of the 10th over and the beginning of the 19th over: a maximum of two fielders permitted outside the fielding restriction area.

(ii) In the circumstances where the overs of the batting team are reduced, the floating Fielding Restriction Overs will be taken from the mid-way point of the innings (rounded down for odd numbered overs); a maximum of two fielders permitted outside the fielding restriction area.

(iii) During the non-Fielding Restriction Overs: a maximum of five fielders permitted outside the fielding restriction area.

(iv) A batter must nominate the floating overs no later than the moment at which the Umpire reaches the stumps at the bowler’s end for the start of the next over.

(v) Once a batter has nominated the floating overs the decision cannot be reversed. Should the batting side not exercise their discretion, the floating Fielding Restriction Overs will automatically commence at the beginning of the 19th Over (in an uninterrupted Match) or at the latest over available in an interrupted Match. Refer to BBL Fielding Restriction Overs table below.

(vi) In circumstances when the number of overs of the batting team is reduced, the number of Fielding Restriction Overs shall be reduced in accordance with the table below. For the sake of clarity, it should be noted that the table shall apply to both the 1st and 2nd innings of the Match.

2 0 6 1 0

(vii) Where, in an interrupted innings, on resumption the recalculated number of Fielding Restriction Overs (as set out above) is no longer achievable, the actual number of Fielding Restriction Overs for that innings will be the closest achievable whole number.

If an innings is interrupted during an over and if on the resumption of play, due to the reduced number of overs of the batting team, the required number of Fielding Restriction Overs have already been bowled, the remaining deliveries in the over to be completed shall not be subject to the fielding restrictions.

If play is interrupted not during the Fielding Restriction Overs, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how many Fielding Restriction Overs is derived from the table above. Any Fielding Restriction Overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been from the initial allocation followed by the floating Fielding Restriction Overs. The decision of the batting side of when to take the remaining Fielding Restriction Overs is made as per sub point (i).

(c) Women’s: For the first six overs (1-6) of each innings, a maximum of two fielders are permitted to be outside of the field restriction circle (defined in Rule 17.8) and for the next 14 overs (7-20), only four fielders are permitted to be outside the field restriction circle (defined in Rule 17.8).

If, due to suspension of play after the start of the Match, the number of overs in the innings of either team has to be revised to a lesser number than originally allotted (minimum of 15 overs), then a revised target score (to win) should be set for the number of overs which the team batting second will have the opportunity of facing. This revised target is to be calculated using the current Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method calculated by the MyCricket Live Score App. (b) Prematurely Terminated Matches

If the innings of the team batting second is suspended (with at least 15 overs bowled) and it is not possible for the Match to be resumed, the Match will be decided by comparison with the par score determined at the instant of the suspension by the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method. If the score is equal to the par score, the Match is a tie. Otherwise the result is a victory, or defeat, by the margin of runs by which the score exceeds, or falls short of, the par score.

20.11.7

Powerplay Overs – Commencement

Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at the start of an over.

Powerplay Overs – Interruptions – Match – Women’s Matches Only

If play is interrupted during non-Powerplay Overs, then on resumption, it is necessary to determine how many remaining Powerplay Overs should be allocated. The total number of Powerplay Overs for the innings is derived from the table in Rule 20.11.5. Any Powerplay Overs already taken prior to the interruption will be deemed to have been in sequence: the initial allocation then the batting team’s allocation. The decision of the batting team of when to take any remaining Powerplay Overs is made in the usual way.

20.11.8

Powerplay Overs – Interruptions

(a) If play is interrupted during the first Powerplay and on resumption the overs required to be bowled in that Powerplay have already been exceeded, then the batting Powerplay will assume to have been taken consecutively up to that point.

(b) If play is interrupted during a Powerplay and on resumption the total number of Powerplay Overs has already been exceeded, then the fielding restrictions will be lifted immediately.

(c) Note: This is the only circumstance under which the Powerplay status can be changed during an over.

(d) If following an interruption while a Powerplay is not in progress, it is found on resumption that the recalculated number of Powerplay Overs remaining equals or exceeds the number of overs to be bowled in the innings, then the batting Powerplay will commence at the start of the next over.

20.11.9 Powerplay Overs – Signals

(a) At the commencement of each block of Powerplay Overs, the Umpire shall signal such commencement to the scorers by rotating the arm in a large circle.

(b) The Umpire shall also indicate to the fielding captain before any signal is made that the batting team has chosen its Powerplay.

20.11.10 Powerplay Overs – interruptions – Match – Men’s Matches Only

If play is interrupted at any stage during an innings, the table in Rule 17.9.5 Applies, and the relevant Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over.

20.11.11 Powerplay Overs – Scoreboard

Where possible, a “P” or a light or other indicator shall be displayed on the scoreboard whenever the Powerplay Overs are being bowled.

20.12 DECLARATIONS

Neither team shall be permitted to declare its innings closed.

20.13 NO BALL AND WIDE

The Rules specified in Rule 17.10 (No Ball) and Rule 17.11 (Wide) apply, except that only one short-pitched delivery per over may be bowled.

20.14 SIGHTSCREENS

Rule 14.7.2 shall be followed except that sightscreens shall be black or covered by dark shade cloth.

POLICIES FOR PREMIER CRICKET SEASON

1 SUSPECT BOWLING ACTIONS – PREMIER CRICKET

CV has established these guidelines to provide clear steps for remediation of bowlers who are cited to have a suspect bowling action.

Throughout the process clubs, coaches and officials are to act in the best interests of the Player(s) and cricket in general, with the overall welfare of the Player(s) and the game being the prime considerations.

LAWS OF CRICKET 21.2 FAIR DELIVERY – THE ARM

Under the Laws of Cricket, a ball is fairly delivered in respect of the arm if, once the bowler’s arm has reached the level of the shoulder in the delivery swing, the elbow joint is not straightened partially or completely from that instant until the ball has left the hand. This definition shall not debar a bowler from flexing or rotating the wrist in the delivery swing.

An Umpire is to make a mention, when they have no doubt a bowler has broken the Laws of Cricket Fair Delivery.

The below process does not preclude any Umpire from calling a bowler for throwing, at any time, if the Umpire is in no doubt.

LEVEL 1

In any scheduled Match, if the Umpire(s) suspects a bowler to have delivered a ball breaching Law 21.2 Fair Delivery – The Arm under the Laws of Cricket, a mention is to be made by the Umpire(s) to CV Management in writing, separate from any Match Report, naming the bowler and the club they are representing, expressing what the concerns are with the bowlers’ action.

Upon receipt, CV Management will contact the Club Administration Officer/Secretary and instruct the club and/or coach to undertake remedial action with the Player.

Coaches or anyone else assisting with the remedial work are recommended to utilise the Cricket Australia Coach App and any other expertise available within their local association, for support with training activities to support the remedial work.

There will be a 4 week “intervention period” to allow remedial work to be undertaken. Clubs have one month to report back to CV Management on the remedial work undertaken to remediate the bowler.

LEVEL 2

If a Player receives a second mention, the Umpire(s) will make a report to CV Management in writing separate from any Match Report, naming the bowler and the club they are representing, expressing what the concerns are with the bowling action.

CV Management will contact the club and request that video footage be taken of the mentioned bowler in a training simulation. The footage is to be provided to CV (CV) through the CV Coach Force Online Bowling Assessment, who will then liaise with the coach/club, anyone else assisting with the remedial work and Player to provide remedial action advice. The cost to this service will be $75 for the video review. Once completed, the Player, coach and club will receive a full technical bowling assessment as well as recommended bowling drills.

LEVEL 3

To book an Online Bowling Assessment click here.

There will be a 4 week “intervention period” to allow remedial work to be undertaken.

If a Player receives a third mention, the Umpire(s) will make a report to CV Management in writing separate from any Match Report, naming the bowler and the club they are representing, expressing what the concerns are with the bowling action.

CV Management will contact the club and request that the Player completes a Face-to-Face assessment via CV’s individual skills coaches, which will include an individual report with remedial action advice. The cost of the session will be $125, inclusive of the detailed individual report.

To book a Face-to-Face assessment with CV’s individual skills coaches click here

A copy of the report is also forwarded to CV Management.

There will be a 6 week “intervention period” following this analysis to allow remedial work to be undertaken. During this intervention period the Player will be permitted to bowl in Matches.

Umpires will be advised of the Player’s situation by CV Management. If there is any doubt during this intervention period then the Umpire(s) will continue to make a separate report to CV Management.

LEVEL 4

If a Player receives a fourth mention, the Umpire(s) will make a report to CV Management in writing separate from any Match Report, naming the bowler and the Club they are representing expressing what the concerns are with the bowling action.

CV Management will contact the Club and advise that the bowler is to undertake a 3D biomechanical assessment which CV can facilitate. The cost of this assessment is provided at the time of application. Clubs/Players can contact CV here (https://www.cricketvictoria.com.au/contact/) to organise the 3D biomechanical assessment.

There will be an additional 8 week “intervention period” following this analysis to allow remedial work to be undertaken. During this intervention period the Player will not be permitted to bowl in Matches.

Umpires will be advised of the Player’s situation byCV Management. If there is any doubt during this intervention period then the Umpire(s) will continue to make a separate report to CV Management.

ONGOING PROCEDURE

The Suspect Action Bowling Guidelines are an ongoing procedure and Players do not return to Level 1 each season. Each mention will progress the procedure, irrespective of time.

Any subsequent mention following Level 4, the Player will immediately again move to Level 3 and continue through the process, however the Player will not be permitted to bowl in Matches during the intervention periods.

WIDE BALL INTERPRETATION IN "WHITE BALL CRICKET"

Leg side

Wide lines are to painted in a colour that is contrasting to the pitch (preference to be dark blue)

Offside

• All balls that pass down the leg side and behind the striker shall be interpreted as negative bowling and called “Wide”.

• The delivery is not a Wide if:

• The balls that passes on or inside the ”Wide Guideline (Leg Side)” crease marking when the striker moves towards the off side to allows it to pass behind them.

• The ball passes between the striker and leg stump.

• A delivery shall be called “Wide” if:

The ball passes outside the “Wide Guideline (Off Side)” with the batter in a “normal” batting stance.

The ball passes wide of the return crease, regardless of the striker bringing it within reach but failing to make contact.

A right arm bowler bowling around the wicket to a right hand batter or a left arm bowler bowling around the wicket to a left hand batter bowls full pitched yorkers on the off side just within the “Wide Guideline (Off Side)”.

• The delivery is not a Wide if:

The batter moves to the off side and brings the ball within reach so they can hit it with a normal cricket stroke but fails to make contact despite it passing outside the “Wide Guideline (Off Side)”.

Wides - Height (batter standing up at the crease)

• Being a limited overs contest, the intention is to discourage the bowling of fast short pitched deliveries that pass above the head of the batter standing upright at the popping crease.

• This type of bowling is considered a form of negative tactic – so the directive is to call “wide” for the marginal deliveries in this category.

• The Umpire at the bowler’s end will be guided by the signal they receive from the square leg Umpire. It is agreed that if the Umpire at the bowler’s end is in doubt as to the validity of the square leg Umpire’s judgement, they must stick with their partner’s signal and judgment.

• The only exception is when the square leg Umpire is unsighted or does not provide a signal for whatever reason and informs the Umpire at the bowler’s end of such, through an agreed teamwork signal.

• The Umpire at the bowler’s end must then rule. It is suggested that the evidence they should consider is:

Ball passing over head

Keeper catching height

Steepness of the ball’s path post bounce

Gut feel or instinct

Wide - Reverse Sweep or Switch Hit

When a switch hit or reverse sweep is played or the batter gets in a position to play the shot and then aborts it:

The striker is deemed to bring the ball sufficiently within their reach on both sides of the wicket

The Wide Guideline (Off Side) shall apply on both sides of the stumps.

The leg stump wide interpretation is no longer in play.

SWITCH HIT INTERPRETATION

The directive

• The batter’s grip and stance should be the same from the start of the bowler’s run up until the beginning of the bowler’s Delivery stride.

• The batter can utilize any grip, as long as they do not change it while the bowler is running in to bowl.

Interpretation

• From the beginning of the delivery stride (defined as the moment that the bowler’s back foot lands in the delivery stride), the batter, if they choose, may start to play the switch-hit stroke.

• If the bowler sees the batter alter their grip or stance before they enter their delivery stride, they are not compelled to deliver the ball.

• If the bowler does not deliver the ball, in this instance, the Umpire shall give the striker an informal warning.

• The second time this happens, the striker should be formally warned that they are wasting time under Law 41.10 (Batter wasting time). This shall constitute a first and final warning, and be applicable to any batter In that innings. Any subsequent instances shall result in 5 penalty runs being awarded to the fielding team.

• The bowler, having seen the batter change their grip and/or stance, may decide to bowl at the batter, and is entitled to do so. The Umpires should allow that option.

• In short, the batter is still entitled to play the switch-hit stroke but they are only allowed to alter from one stance or grip to another once the bowler has entered their delivery stride.

1. Where a Player or Umpire involved in a CV-controlled Match suffers an injury causing bleeding, that person shall immediately retire from the game until such time as First Aid has been administered to prevent further bleeding. The injured person shall not resume playing or umpiring unless and until the bleeding has ceased.

2. An injured batter who has temporarily retired and is unable to return after the fall of the ninth wicket, shall be recorded in the scorebooks as “retired hurt” and the innings shall be deemed closed.

3. Where an injury occurs to a batter involved in a tenth wicket partnership, a maximum of two minutes will be allowed in order for the batter to obtain treatment. If the injury occurs within 30 minutes of a scheduled interval, the interval shall be taken immediately if the batter is unable to resume after the two minutes. If the batter is unable to resume after the two minutes or after the early interval, they shall be recorded in the scorebooks as “retired hurt” as described in 2 above.

4. Where the injury occurs to an Umpire and they must leave the field for treatment, the other Umpire shall officiate at both ends and the host club shall provide a competent person to stand at square leg until the injured Umpire is able to resume.

5 EXTREME CONDITIONS POLICY

PREMIER CRICKET EXTREME CONDITIONS POLICY

If there is an adverse weather forecast (wet weather or extreme heat) for the scheduled playing day:

In Advance

CV Management may consider a full or partial cancellation* in advance and where applicable will seek necessary guidance from the Bureau of Meteorology and/or selected medical and legal practitioners. Should this occur, all clubs will be notified via email and text message to Administration Managers, the Premier Cricket website and via Twitter.

Match Day Morning

CV Management will consult once ground reports and all available forecast data has been collated. CV Management’s decision will be conveyed via email and text message to Administration Managers, the Premier Cricket website and via Twitter.

Match Day

If the CV Management’s decision is “report to grounds”, decisions regarding play shall be in the hands of the Umpires.

Extreme Heat

It shall be the responsibility of each Club Administration Manager (or their nominee) to monitor on a half-hourly basis, current temperatures via the Bureau of Meteorology website and phone app. Should the current temperature reach 42 degrees for Men’s 1st & 2nd XIs, 40 degrees for Men’s 3rd & 4th XIs or 38 degrees for Women’s Premier Cricket, play shall be suspended immediately at that club’s home grounds. The temperature shall be monitored. Play shall not resume until the temperature falls below 41 degrees for Men’s 1st & 2nd XIs, 39 degrees for Men’s 3rd & 4th XIs or 37 degrees for Women’s Premier Cricket. The current temperatures provided on the Bureau of Meteorology website and phone app will apply as follows:

*Partial Cancellation

Where applicable, the PCMT may choose to cancel 3rds & 4ths only or Women’s Premier Cricket only or 3rds, 4ths & all Women’s Premier Cricket only.

PREMIER CRICKET EXTREME CONDITIONS GUIDELINES

Premier Rule 13; in particular Rules 13.1.4 and 13.1.5. (refer below) provides the prime guidance for the management of conditions during Premier Cricket Matches. While this Rule is generally considered to relate to the fitness of the ground, weather and light for play to continue, it equally applies to extremes of conditions such as heat, cold, wind and lightning which may make continuation of play dangerous. The Rule charges the Umpires with the responsibility to manage conditions and as such they are the final arbiters as to the fitness of conditions to allow play to continue.

When a period of extreme temperature is forecast, the following issues need to be considered by all participants when dealing with the heat:

• The conditions at each venue are to be assessed on a case-by-case basis

• Umpires and clubs are encouraged to arrange extra drinks breaks (every 4-5 overs if necessary)and unrestricted drinks around the boundary for bowlers and at the fall of a wicket for fielders to assist with hydration.

• Umpires and clubs are also encouraged to “manage” the availability of the extra 30 minutes of playing time available, e.g. the implementation of additional intervals.

• Where possible, unrestricted interchange of substitute fielders shall be permitted. Umpires will be lenient in relation to Law 24 (re fielder leaving the field for more than 8 minutes not being permitted to bowl immediately).

• Umpires are to ensure that all time delays associated with implementing heat mitigation measures are recorded as allowances when calculating over rates for the purpose of determining penalty overs (i.e. “On-Field Delays Allowance” is to be adjusted accordingly).

• The Umpires are required to do all within their power to facilitate play without compromising their responsibility in respect of “duty of care”. They are therefore required to balance all the factors and make a decision whether the conditions are fit for play and, if not satisfied that they are safe, suspend play until such time as they are. Any such decision by our Umpires in relation to extremes of temperature would be absolutely supported should it occur.

6 TH E SPIRIT OF CRICKET

Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact that it should be played not only according to the Laws, but also within the Spirit of Cricket.

The major responsibility for ensuring fair play rests with the captains, but extends to all Players, Umpires and, especially in junior cricket, teachers, coaches and parents.

• Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket:

• Respect your captain, team-mates, opponents and the authority of the Umpires.

• Play hard and play fair.

• Accept the Umpire’s decision.

• Create a positive atmosphere by your own conduct, and encourage others to do likewise.

• Show self-discipline, even when things go against you.

• Congratulate the opposition on their successes, and enjoy those of your own team.

• Thank the officials and your opposition at the end of the Match, whatever the result.

Cricket is an exciting game that encourages leadership, friendship and teamwork, which brings together people from different nationalities, cultures and religions, especially when played within the Spirit of Cricket.

CRICKET CLUB AWARD

The CV Board, CV Management and CV Tribunal continue to be concerned with all aspects of Player behaviour at all levels of the game.

Premier Cricket’s “Spirit of Cricket Club Award” introduced prior to the 2003-04 season, provides something tangible for all Premier Clubs to strive for whilst upholding the traditions of our great game.

The award goes to the clubs which contribute most to the Spirit of Cricket across all Premier grades, this involving the whole club in the process and expectations of the award. The “Spirit of Cricket Club Award” has no weighting of points (as in CV Club Championship), as it is considered just as important for all grades to adhere to and display the principles espoused in the Laws of Cricket and CV Player behaviour code.

Each team receives as assessment by the Umpires in each Match, receiving a rating out of 10, based on: a) The captains acceptance of their responsibility for their Players’ actions b) The teams adherence to the principles of “The Spirit of Cricket” including respect for team-mates, opponents and the Umpire’s role and c) Co-operation of captains and Players with and towards Umpires and their role.

There is a mandatory deduction of three points per Match of actual suspension for each Player or official found guilty by the CV Tribunal. Progressive ratings are circulated to clubs regularly an also appear on the Premier website after each round.

It is expected that clubs will use the ratings to promptly address any issues that may arise during the season.

8 CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS

In addition to the definitions and interpretations outlined in Rule 1.2, the following definitions apply to Appendices 8 (Code of Conduct) and 9 (Code of Conduct Sanctions):

CV Umpire Coach: Person appointed by CV to provide coaching to the Umpire panel. Demerit Points: Points which are accrued by a Player or Player Support Personnel pursuant to Appendix 8 each time he/she commits an offence under the Code of Conduct.

Match Official: Any Umpire or CV Umpire Coach. Player Support Personnel: Any coach, manager, scorer or team official affiliated with the team participating in the Match.

Suspension Points: The weighting points used to determine the period of suspension imposed against any Player or Player Support Personnel pursuant to the Code of Conduct.

Traditionally, cricket has aimed to maintain the highest of levels of Player conduct and sportsmanship. While always a very competitive game, the continued strength of the sport has relied upon the acceptance of the Umpire’s decision and the preparedness to play within the spirit of the game.

The conduct described in Appendices 8.1 to 8.21 amounts to conduct which breaches the Spirit of Cricket and therefore, if committed by a Player or Player Support Personnel, shall amount to an offence by such Player or Player Support Personnel under the Code of Conduct.

Whether or not such behaviour is evident in international or interstate cricket, or whether the language used is considered socially acceptable, is of little concern. The primary consideration is that cricket is played within the spirit and traditions of the game.

Over the past few years CV Management have been working towards improving the level of consistency with regards to incidents which take place during Matches. To give some clarity as to the process for Incident Reports, please find below the steps that are taken when a potential breach of the Spirit of Cricket occurs.

1. CV Umpires are encouraged to complete an Incident Report Form and send it through to CV Management if an incident occurs during a Match which the Umpires feel might have breached the Spirit of Cricket or requires further investigation. Reports must be submitted within 24 hours of the conclusion of the Match in which the incident occurred as per Rule 10.1.5.

*CV Umpires might opt to review footage themselves or discuss the incident with the CV Umpire Coach before completing an Incident Report Form. Umpires are instructed to inform captains of this process should they decide to review the incident before submitting a Report Form (CV Management will notify the Club Administrator should a Report Form be sent through post-Match).

2. CV Management conducts a review of each report (using footage if available, information provided in the report and/or contacting the Umpires) following a round of Matches. Once the review has been completed, CV Management will determine whether a Player or Player Support Personnel is to be charged with a Code of Conduct Offence and, if so, the appropriate level of offence.

3. CV Management will inform the Player or Player Support Personnel’s club whether or not that Player or Player Support Personnel has been charged with a Code of Conduct Offence, and if so, the type of offence and corresponding sanction for that charge.

* For Level 1 offences, CV Management will allocate a demerit point rating for the offence. For Level 2 offences, the CV Tribunal will either offer a 1-Match suspension or request the Player attend a hearing. For Level 3 and 4 offences, the CV Tribunal will request a hearing with no offer of a set penalty.

4. A Player or Player Support Personnel charged with a Code of Conduct offence may:

• Accept the sanction; or

• Contest the charge or plead guilty to a lesser charge, in which case a Tribunal hearing will be convened. *Clubs must accept or notify CV Management of their wish to contest a charge by 12-noon on the day after receiving communication from CV Management about the prescribed sanction for the offence as per Rules 10.1.10 and 10.2.3.

Where considered helpful, guidance notes have been provided in text boxes beneath the description of a particular offence. Such notes are intended only to provide guidance as to the nature and examples of certain conduct that might be prohibited by a particular Appendix and should not be read as an exhaustive or limiting list of conduct that may be prohibited by such Appendix.

The Code of Conduct offences cover a variety of different behaviours and levels of seriousness. It is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. For the purpose of determining the appropriate sanction for an offence, levels of charging have been assigned for each offence, ranging from Level 1 for conduct of a minor nature, up to Level 4 for conduct of an extremely serious nature. Where an offence is alleged to have been committed, the individual reporting the alleged offence must determine which of the assigned levels of offence is appropriate for the conduct in question. Reports can only be laid at the levels identified in respect of each offence below.

For the purposes of the Code of Conduct, the phrase “during a Match” should be interpreted broadly to cover all conduct which takes place at, or in the immediate vicinity of the venue, and anytime throughout the day of a Match, and not just conduct which takes place on the field of play. It will therefore include conduct which takes place off the field of play, for example in the changing rooms, or during any of the intervals in the Match.

For the avoidance of doubt, the CV Management’s jurisdiction to take action against a Player or Player Support Personnel under this Code of Conduct is limited to incidents which take place during, or in relation to, a Match.

8.1

Excessive appealing during a Match

Note:

For the purpose of Appendix 8.1, ‘excessive’ may include (a) repeated appealing of the same decision; (b) repeated appealing of different decisions when the bowler/fielder knows the batter is not out with the intention of placing the Umpire under pressure; (c) charging or advancing towards the Umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing; or (d) celebrating a dismissal without appealing to the Umpire when a decision is required. It is not intended to prevent loud or enthusiastic appealing.

Using language, actions or gestures which disparage, or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during a Match.

Appendix 8.5 includes any language, action or gesture used by a Player or Player Support Personnel and directed towards a batter upon their dismissal which has the potential to provoke an aggressive reaction from the dismissed batter, whether or not any reaction results, or which could be considered to disparage or demean the dismissed batter, regardless of whether the batter him/herself feels disparaged or demeaned (in other words, a ‘send-off’). Without limitation, Appendix 8.5 includes: (a) excessive celebration directed at and in close proximity to the dismissed batter; (b) verbally abusing the dismissed batter; and (c) pointing or gesturing towards the pavilion.

Note:

When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the following factors (without limitation) shall be taken into account: (i) the context of the particular situation; (ii) language used towards the batter; (iii) if the bowler/fielder changed direction or ran at the batter and (iv) proximity of the bowler/fielder to the batter when action took place.

Without limitation, Players and Player Support Personnel will breach Appendix 8.7 if they publicly criticise the Match Officials or denigrate a Player or team against which they have played in relation to incidents which occurred in a Match. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, without limitation, the context within which the comments have been made and the gravity of the offending comments must be taken into account.

Note:

For the avoidance of doubt, any posting by a Player or Player Support Personnel of comments on a social media platform (including, without limitation, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok and LinkedIn) shall be deemed to be ‘public’ for the purposes of this offence. Consequently, a Player or Player Support Personnel may breach Appendix 8.7 where they criticise or make an inappropriate comment in relation to an incident occurring in a Match or any Player, Player Support Personnel, Match Official or team participating in any Match in any posting they make on a social media platform.

It shall not be a defense to any charge brought under this Appendix to show that the Umpire might have, or in fact did, get any decision wrong.

9 CODE OF CONDUCT SANCTIONS

Where the CV Tribunal, determines that an offence under the Code of Conduct has been committed, they will be required to impose an appropriate sanction on the Player or Player Support Personnel.

9.1 In determining the appropriate sanction, the CV Tribunal in consultation with the CV Management, shall take into account any factors that they deem relevant and appropriate to the mitigation or aggravation of the nature of the Code of Conduct offence before determining, in accordance with the table set out in Appendix 9.2 below, what the appropriate sanction(s) should be.

9.2 In addition to sanctions imposed by the CV Tribunal under Appendix 9.1 above, Demerit Points will be imposed upon a Player or Player Support Personnel found to have committed an offence under the Code of Conduct. The number of Demerit Points imposed will be calculated by reference to the sanction imposed for the particular offences, as set out in the following table.

9.3

Level 3The imposition of between 3 and 5 Suspension Points. In addition, financial penalty may also be imposed upon a club for breaches by a Player Support Personnel.

*Subsequent offences committed by a Player or Player Support Personnel within a 3-year period will receive 2 additional suspension points.

Demerit Points will remain on a Player or Player Support Personnel’s disciplinary record for a period of 18 months from their imposition following which they shall be immediately expunged.

Where the CV Tribunal imposes a period of suspension on any Player or Player Support Personnel, then, unless such period is for a fixed period of time (for example, one year) then, any such period of suspension shall be referenced by Suspension Points, which shall carry the following weighting:

suspension points would correlate to the same number of Matches for suspension (Example: 13 points = 13-Match suspension).

9.4 Where a Player or Player Support Personnel accumulates four (4) Demerit Points in an 18-month period, these Demerit Points shall be converted into one (1) Suspension Point. Should a Player accumulate five (5) Demerit Points, four (4) Demerit Points will be converted into one (1) Suspension Point whilst the remaining one (1) Demerit Point will remain on the Players record for a period of 18 months.

9.5 Where a Player or Player Support Personnel has accumulated no Demerit Points in the previous three years, they will be entitled to a one (1) Demerit Point deduction from a Level 2 sanction committed. (A two (2) Demerit Point deduction will be available for Player’s with no previous accumulated Demerit Points for a six-year period).

9.6 Where a Player or Player Support Personnel who has a sanction imposed upon them by the CV Tribunal, also has Demerit Points from previous offences, these Demerit Points will be added to the corresponding Demerit Points applied to the sanction imposed for the offences, as set out in the Table in Appendix 9.2. The total Demerit Points (previous Demerit Points & Demerit Points imposed by CV Tribunal’s sanction) will be accumulated, and the Corresponding Suspension Points will be implemented to the Player or Player Support Personnel’s sanction as per table below.

EXAMPLE OF THE APPLICATION OF DEMERIT POINTS:

1. A Player commits a Level 1 offence

receives two (2) Demerit Points in respect to that offence on their disciplinary record.

The same Player commits another Level 1 offence within one month of the first offence and

receives one (1) Demerit Point in respect to that offence on their disciplinary record.

3. The same Player then commits a Level 2 offence 12-months after the first offence was committed and is sanctioned with one (1) Suspension Point by the CV Tribunal.

4. The Level 2 offence with a one (1) Suspension Point sanction will equate to four (4) Demerit Points.

5. As the third offence took place within 18-months of the first offence, the Demerit Points imposed in respect to the third offence are added to the Demerit Points imposed in respect of the first and second offences, meaning that the Player now has an accumulated total of seven (7) Demerit Points.

6. Seven (7) Demerit Points equate to an equivalent to two (2) Suspension Points, so the Player must serve a 2-match suspension.

*After completing their suspension, the Level 2 offence will remain on the Player’s disciplinary record for a period of three years. Three months later, the Player commits another Level 2 offence and is sanctioned for that offence with one Suspension Point.

7. As this is the second Level 2 offence the Player has committed within a three-year window, a further one (1) Suspension Point will then be added to the Player’s sanction. This means the Player has two (2) Suspension Points and must serve a 2-match suspension.

9.7 Notice of the amount of Demerit Points imposed and the accumulated total, together with any resulting Suspension Points, will be communicated by CV Management, as soon as is reasonably practicable, to the Club of the Player or Player Support Personnel. Any resulting Suspension Points imposed on the basis of accumulated Demerit Points shall be applied in accordance with the principles set down in Appendix 9.6 above and shall take effect immediately upon notice of the same to the Player or Player Support Personnel.

9.8 Where the CV Tribunal finds a Player or Player Support Personnel not guilty of the offence allegedly committed under the Code of Conduct, then it remains open to him/her, at his/her discretion, to find the Player or Player Support Personnel guilty of an offence of a lower level than that with which he/she has been charged. For example, where a Player or Player Support Personnel has been charged with (but been found not guilty of) ‘showing dissent at an Umpire’s decision’ (Appendix 8.8) at Level 2, the CV Tribunal may, instead, find the Player or Player Support Personnel guilty of the same offence at Level 1 and impose an appropriate sanction.

10 CV RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS HARRASSMENT POLICY

CV is strongly committed to ensuring that all Club Players, officials and members, Umpires and other representatives are able to participate in cricket in an environment free of racial and religious harassment.

Racial or religious harassment at any level of our cricket, both on and off the field of play, will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Club officials and members have a responsibility to create and maintain a playing environment in which participants feel comfortable and where people respect and tolerate the rights, views, and opinions of others.

For more information, refer to the CV website (under Member Protection Policy), where the complete policy and procedures appear.

11 CV SMOKE POLICY

Cricket Australia has released Smoke Pollution Guidelines in light of the effect of the bushfires that impacted parts of the country across the 2019/20 season. The guidelines are to apply nationally.

In terms of the direct impact on Matches in Victoria, please note the decision to suspend play remains solely with the Umpires as it would for any other delay. Any delay due to smoke pollution is to be treated exactly like a rain delay - meaning DLS will need to be enacted in shorter format Matches. Clubs also should consider the impact on training sessions using these guidelines.

Please familiarise yourself thoroughly with this and advise your teams to be prepared should Matches be delayed or cancelled as a result.

The guidelines advise that play is NOT TO COMMENCE or is to be SUSPENDED if the air quality reaches a “Hazardous” Level (a PM2.5 reading of 150 or above), with play not to resume until this reading drops below 150. Asthmatics are still also at risk with a “Very Poor” reading.

Air quality levels can be found on the AQICN website (https://aqicn.org/city/australia/melbourne/ melbourne-cbd/).

Clubs are asked to look for their nearest reading centre by typing in their location in the search bar available on the webpage and clicking on the location nearest to them to get the latest readings.

Once found, scroll down the page to the graph showing the air data information for the last 48 hours and hover over the most recent reading to get the latest information (found at the bottom of the box – see below graph image).

Clubs are advised to refresh this page every hour to get the latest hourly reading.

12 CONCUSSION & HEAD TRUAMA REPLACEMENT POLICY

CV is strongly committed to ensuring that all Players, officials, Umpires and other representatives are able to participate in cricket in a safe environment.

In the event a head trauma occurs, or the Umpires suspect that a Player may be concussed, a Replacement Player shall be allowed for the remainder of the Match.

The Replacement Player shall be a like-for-like Player (best endeavours) who may immediately participate in the Match as a complete Replacement Player for the concussed Player.

The team captain or a club official shall seek the prior approval of the Umpires, who shall not unreasonably refuse a request. The Umpires need only be reasonably satisfied that a head trauma occurred during the Match. The Umpires shall then inform the captain of the opposing team.

The opposing team shall not be unfairly disadvantaged by a team’s choice of Replacement Player. A team shall take reasonable steps to replace a concussed Player with a like-for-like Player; however, the status of the Match may permit other types of replacements, for example:

(a) A batter may be replaced by a bowler provided that the team will no longer bowl in the Match. (b) A batter may be replaced by a bowler subject to the captain’s undertaking that the replacement will not bowl in the Match; A bowler may be replaced by a batter provided that the team will no longer bat in the Match, or the bowler has been dismissed.

The Replacement Player is permitted to bat, bowl, keep wicket or field as though he/she was a member of the starting team.

CORONAVIRUS-RELATED REPLACEMENT POLICY

Where a member is unable to participate in the second day of a Match due to a requirement to selfisolate or to illness as a result of coronavirus the following shall apply.

Replacement Player

Subject to compliance with this policy including the required declaration as set out below, a Player affected by coronavirus may be replaced by a like-for-like Player (using best endeavours) notified to CV Management at the earliest opportunity. Consequent replacements in lower grades shall be allowed and notified at the same time.

If not known in advance of a day’s play, notification of Replacement Players shall be made to the opposition captain and Umpires as soon as practicable and before the Replacement Player taking the field. Umpires will note all Replacement Players participating in the day’s play on the Match report and will notify CV Management as soon as possible.

The opposing team shall not be unfairly disadvantaged by a team’s choice of Replacement Player. A team shall take reasonable steps to replace a COVID-impacted Player with a like-for-like Player; however, the status of the Match may permit other types of replacements, for example –

• A batter may be replaced by a bowler provided that the team will no longer bowl in the Match.

• A batter may be replaced by a bowler subject to the captain’s undertaking that the replacement will not bowl in the Match; A bowler may be replaced by a batter provided that the team will no longer bat in the Match, or the bowler has been dismissed.

No alteration allowed after notification

In all circumstances once notification has been given, no further alteration shall be allowed.

Requirements of Replacement Player

A Replacement Player shall be subject to the provisions of the Rules of Premier Cricket and Laws of Cricket as would have applied to the Player replaced if that Player had continued playing in the Match.

Substitute Fielder

Where a Replacement Player has not been requested, a substitute fielder shall be allowed.

Notification of Substitute Fielder

The captain of the opposing team and the Umpires shall be informed of the use of a Replacement Player or substitute fielder before the fielder takes part in the game.

Withdrawal of Player

Where a member withdraws from a Match because of coronavirus related requirements the following shall apply:

• If a Player is a not out batter, shall be treated under Law 25.4.2 as retiring owing to unavoidable cause and recorded as “retired, not out”.

• If a Player retires under this clause and is a not out batter, shall be replaced at the crease by the nominated Player.

Club Declaration

As part of the process for requesting a Replacement Player, Clubs must submit a declaration (on the form provided) to CV Management which will include the following items:

• Name of the Player

• Evidence of positive test (Club to cite category of evidence provided by the Player on which the Club declaration is based, which may include a RAT test, PCR result, Department of Health reference number, medical certificate or verbal advice from Player)

If it is found that a false declaration has been provided, CV Management may cause the matter to be investigated and subsequently dealt with under Rule 10 or lay a charge and refer the matter to the Tribunal to be dealt with under Rule 10. Any referral to the Tribunal following investigation under this clause shall be considered as within time.

Confirmed Cases of COVID-19

If there is a confirmed case of coronavirus prior to the Match the Player/staff/official are to be isolated as per the isolation rules in implementation from the Victorian State Government. That team shall continue with the Match with the use of a Replacement Player (if a playing member/s are impacted).

If there is a confirmed case of coronavirus during the Match the Player/staff/official are to be isolated as per the isolation rules in implementation from the Victorian State Government. The Match shall continue with the use of a Replacement Player/s (if a playing member/s is impacted) UNLESS the club sees more than four Players ruled out of a team due to positive COVID tests or subsequent movement of Players to higher grades due to the impact of COVID, at which point the Match will be abandoned, unless a first innings result has already been achieved prior to the abandonment of the Match.

Determination of Match Result

(a) CV Management has the discretion to allocate points to a team where they are satisfied there are exceptional circumstances justifying the discretion being exercised.

(b) For the purposes of (a) above, what constitutes “exceptional circumstances” is to be determined by CV Management on a case-by-case basis but would not ordinarily relate to weather events.

(c) Any discretionary points awarded pursuant to (a) above will be included in the calculation of club championship points as set out in Rule 6.
