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.

RULE 14 FITNESS FOR PLAY AND EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES 14.1 DETERMINING FITNESS FOR PLAY 14.1.1

All matches not cancelled If CV Management has not cancelled all matches the fitness of conditions shall be determined as below.

14.1.2

Umpires sole judges The umpires together shall decide whether either the conditions of ground, weather or light or exceptional circumstances mean that it would be dangerous or unreasonable for play to take place. (a) Conditions shall not be regarded as either dangerous or unreasonable merely because they are not ideal. (b) Conditions shall be regarded as dangerous if there is actual and foreseeable risk to the safety of any player or umpire.

— 78

(c) Conditions shall be regarded as unreasonable if, although posing no risk to safety, it would not be sensible for play to proceed. 14.1.3

Improvement of ground and pitch Before commencement of play on any day the umpires shall ensure all possible steps are taken to improve the ground or pitch to expedite play and shall not abandon play except as provided for in 18.3.2(b) and 20.4.2(a) before the scheduled cessation time unless, in their opinion, it would be dangerous or unreasonable for play to proceed based on Rule 14.1.2 (b) and (c).

14.1.4

Use of Artificial Lights (a) If in the opinion of the umpires, natural light is deteriorating to an unfit level, they shall authorise the ground authorities/home club to use the available artificial lighting so that the match can continue in acceptable conditions.

When the umpires decide that it is no longer dangerous and it is reasonable for play to take place, they shall immediately call upon the players to resume the game.

14.2 FITNESS OF GROUND The umpires shall consider the ground as unfit for play when it is so wet or slippery as to deprive the bowlers of a reasonable foothold, the fielders of the power of free movement, or the batters of the ability to play their strokes or to run between the wickets.

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.

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 17 match and half the number of overs bowled from the same end as the completed spell in a Rule 18 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 17 (2 Day Match) and Rule 18 (One Day Match).

(c)

A bowler who has bowled a spell of less than the maximum spell permitted (for their age as defined in 15.12.2 and 15.12.3) 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 15.12.3(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. If this over is completed at the start of a new day the over shall be considered the first over of a new spell for that bowler and the first over of the new daily limit.

Change of Bowling Type (a) If a bowler begins with medium pace or faster and changes to slow bowling during a day’s play that bowler remains subject to the playing condition throughout the day. (b) If a bowler begins with slow bowling and changes to medium pace or faster the playing condition applies from the time of the change, and any overs bowled prior to the change shall not be taken into account in either the current spell or the daily limit. — 83

15.12.8

15.13 COUNTING OF OVER BOWLED IN PARTS An over bowled in accordance with Law of Cricket 17.8 and treated under 15.12.4(c) or 18.7.4 as one full over for each bowler concerned, shall be counted as a single over for all other over requirements of Rules 16 to 20. 15.14 COLOURED CLOTHING IN LIMITED OVER GAMES Players shall be permitted to wear coloured clothing and/or equipment, as approved in advance by Cricket Victoria, for all one-day and Twenty20 matches in all grades. 15.15 UMPIRE MISCOUNTING OVER 15.15.1

If the umpire miscounts the number of valid balls, the over as counted by the umpire shall stand.

15.15.2

If, having miscounted, the umpire allows an over to continue after 6 valid balls have been bowled, the umpire may subsequently call Over when the ball becomes dead after any delivery, even if that delivery is not a valid ball.

15.15.3

Whenever possible, the umpires shall liaise with the scorers and, if possible, the Scorers should inform the on-field umpires if it is likely an over has been miscounted.

Win or Tie: Second Side’s Overs Entitlement Received If the second batting team receives its entitlement of overs under 18.3 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.

18.6.2

the second batting team are fewer than its entitlement under 18.3, a number of runs as calculated in 18.6.4 shall be the first team’s par score which, subject to the provision for a draw in 18.6.3, must be exceeded by the second team for a win or equalled for a tie. 18.6.3

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.

18.6.4

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.

18.9.6

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

18.9.7

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 18.9.5. 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.

18.9.8

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. (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. 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.

18.9.9

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.

18.9.10

Powerplay Overs – Interruptions – Match: Men’s Matches Only If play is interrupted at any stage during an innings, the table in Rule 18.9.5 Applies, and the relevant Powerplay takes immediate effect. For the avoidance of doubt this applies even if the interruption has occurred mid-over.

18.9.11

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.

18.10 NO BALL 18.10.1

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.

— 94

18.10.2

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.

18.10.3

Dangerous and Unfair Bowling Law 41.7 of the MCC Laws of Cricket applies.

18.11 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 down the leg side and behind the striker shall be interpreted as negative bowling and called “Wide”. The delivery is not a Wide if it passes on or inside the “Wide Guideline (Leg Side)” crease marking when the striker moves towards the off side or it passes between the striker and leg stump. (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. 18.12 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. 18.13 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 15.12. 18.14 CLOTHING Rules in 15.7.2 shall be followed except that sightscreens shall be black or covered by dark shade cloth. 18.15 BOUNDARIES – WOMEN’S MATCHES The maximum boundary distance for Women’s One-Day matches is 64 metres in an arc from the intersection of the centre line and the popping crease and from the centre line between the two popping creases.

19.5 PLAYING CONDITIONS Playing conditions shall be as in 18.3 through to 18.14 subject to the following inclusion: RESERVE DAY All Men’s Finals and the Women’s Premier Cricket Grand Finals 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.

— 97

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 13.5 of the Premier Cricket Rules; and – Mowing and rolling – as per Premier Cricket Rules 13.3. 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. 19.6 RESULTS OF MATCHES The Results of matches will apply as per Rule 18.6 (with exclusion of Rule 18.6.5). RULE 20 TWENTY20 MATCHES (WOMEN’S ONLY) NOTE: FOR MEN’S T20 MATCHES PLEASE REFER TO THE ‘SUPER SLAM’ PLAYING CONDITIONS’. 20.1 PLAYING CONDITIONS The Laws of Cricket (2017 - 2nd Edition 2019) and Premier Rules, except as varied hereunder, shall apply. 20.2 DURATION OF MATCH AND NOMINATION OF TEAMS (a) (b)

The matches will consist of one innings per team, each innings being limited to a maximum of 20 overs. Teams shall be 11 per team for Women’s 1st XI matches and 12 per team for Women’s 2nd & 3rd XI matches and shall be nominated in accordance with 15.1.1.

20.4 LENGTH OF INNINGS 20.4.1

Uninterrupted Matches Each team shall bat for 20 overs unless all out earlier. If the team batting first is dismissed in fewer than 20 overs, the team batting second shall be entitled to bat for 20 overs. Strict adherence to RULE 16 (over rates) must be observed.

20.4.2

Delayed or Interrupted Matches (a) If the first team’s innings is delayed or interrupted the umpires shall reduce the maximum overs by one for each full seven minutes of the aggregate time lost. An additional 30 minutes can be added to the scheduled cessation time (not for twilight matches) to enable a result. Refer Rule 17.2.3(e). 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 18.3.2(a) equate with the number bowled. (c) The team batting second, if there is no further time lost in its innings, shall be entitled to receive the same reduced number, including any part over, as in (a) or (b) above. (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 18.3.3 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.

20.5.3

20.5.4

— 99

20.6 THE BALL White CV-approved balls will be used as per 15.8.3. One new ball shall be used for each innings. 20.7 THE RESULT 20.7.1

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.

20.7.2

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

Ball 5

Ball 4

Ball 3

Ball 2

Ball 1

6 — 100

(p) 20.7.3

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.

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.

20.8 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) 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 18.8) and for the next 14 overs (7-20), only four fielders are permitted to be outside the field restriction circle (defined in 18.8). (c) For the team batting first, in an interrupted match, the field restrictions will apply as follows:

Total Overs In Innings 5-6 7-9 10-13 14-16 17-19 20 (d)

No of overs for which restrictions in 20.8(b) above apply 1 2 3 4 5 6

For the team batting second, when the number of overs is reduced, where possible the restrictions determined in 20.8(c) are to be maintained for the same proportion of the innings of the team batting second as for the innings of the team batting first (fractions to be ignored).

20.9 DECLARATIONS The captain of the batting team may not declare an innings closed at any time during the course of a match. 20.10 NO BALL AND WIDE The Rules specified in 18.10 (No Ball) and 18.10.3 (Wide) apply, except that only one short-pitched delivery per over may be bowled. 20.11 LAW 31 – TIMED OUT Law 31 will apply. Either the incoming or not out batter, whichever the circumstances of the match require, must be in position to take guard to be ready to receive the next ball within 90 seconds of the fall of the previous wicket. The incoming batter is expected to be ready near the boundary so as enter the field of play immediately a wicket falls, and is expected to jog to the wicket. 20.12 SIGHTSCREENS Rules in 15.7.2 shall be followed except that sightscreens shall be black or covered by dark shade cloth. 20.13 BOUNDARIES – WOMEN’S MATCHES The maximum boundary distance for Women’s Twenty20 matches is 64 metres in an arc from the intersection of the centre line and the popping crease and from the centre line between the two popping creases. .

POLICIES FOR PREMIER CRICKET SEASON 2021-22 1

SUSPECT BOWLING ACTIONS – PREMIER CRICKET Cricket Victoria 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 Cricket Victoria (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

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 Cricket Victoria’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 Cricket Victoria’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 the Premier Cricket Management Team.

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 Cricket Victoria can facilitate. The cost of this assessment is provided at the time of application. Clubs/players can contact Cricket Victoria 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. SUBSEQUENT MENTION If a player suspended from bowling at Level 4 resumes bowling after the specified suspension period, and the player is mentioned* again, the player is immediately at Level 4 and suspension from bowling will apply forthwith. *THIS ENTIRE PROCESS DOES NOT PRECLUDE ANY UMPIRE FROM CALLING A BOWLER FOR THROWING, AT ANY TIME, IF THE UMPIRE IS IN NO DOUBT. Throughout the process clubs and coaches are to act in the best interest of the player and cricket in general with the overall welfare of the player and the game being the prime consideration.

CREASE MARKINGS

WHITE BALL CRICKET CREASE MARKINGS DIAGRAM

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

WIDE BALL INTERPRETATION IN "WHITE BALL CRICKET" Leg side • 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 him.

•

The ball passes between the striker and leg stump.

Offside • 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.

— 104

• 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. 3

INJURY CODE 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.

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: Melbourne City:

Notwithstanding the above, the umpires shall have the powers to abandon or suspend play at any time at their discretion. — 106

No person is forced by Cricket Victoria to participate in any match and Clubs shall place no pressure on any participant if they consider withdrawing from any part of a match for health reasons. *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 14; in particular 14.1.4 and 14.1.5. (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

THE 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.

SPIRIT OF 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.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PLAYERS Traditionally, cricket has aimed to maintain the highest 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 areas of major concern which are unacceptable to Cricket Victoria are: • The use of offensive language, generally as a disparaging remark to an opposing player or towards an umpire, or as an expression of frustration or self-admonishment. This includes racial or religious vilification, which is any act that is reasonably likely to threaten, disparage, vilify, offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or group based on race, religion, descent, colour or national or ethnic origin. • The questioning/disputing of the umpire’s decision, often in an aggressive or sarcastic manner. This applies equally to dismissals and unsuccessful appeals as to the judgment of calls on no-balls, wides, byes, etc. • The excessive number of frivolous and ridiculous appeals, primarily aimed at pressuring and intimidating the umpire into a favourable decision. • The actions of the dismissed batter in failing to leave the crease promptly on being given out, and equipment abuse (e.g. banging the bat into the ground or against the fence, or throwing the bat, gloves or equipment during or after their departure from the playing surface on return to the pavilion). • Send offs to a dismissed batter by the bowler or a member of the fielding team. This can often inflame the situation and lead to a more serious altercation. 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. The process for reporting unsatisfactory behaviour: • Any breach of Level 1, 2, 3 & 4 will see the player reported by the umpires (Refer Premier Rule 11.1, 11.2 and following sections). If a player is found guilty of an act of misconduct, they will be liable to such penalty as is considered appropriate by the CV Tribunal.

— 108

UNACCEPTABLE CONDUCT The umpires shall take action with respect to any unacceptable conduct. There are four levels of offences. If either umpire considers that the conduct of a player at any time during the match is unacceptable, the umpire concerned shall call and signal ‘dead ball’. This call should delayed until the umpire is satisfied that it will not disadvantage the non-offending team. The umpire concerned shall report the matter to the other umpire and together they shall decide whether misconduct has occurred. If so, they shall determine into which of the levels the conduct falls, as set out in below, and apply the appropriate reporting procedures. Level 1 Any of the following actions by a player is a Level 1 offence: • Wilfully mistreating any part of the cricket ground, equipment or implements used in the match. This includes any action outside the course of normal cricket actions, such as hitting or kicking the wickets, and any action that intentionally or negligently results in damage to boundary fences, dressing room doors, mirrors, windows and other fixtures and fittings. • Showing dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action. This includes: – excessive, obvious or inappropriate disappointment with an umpire’s decision – an obvious delay in resuming play or leaving the wicket – shaking the head – pointing or looking at the bat or body when given out – snatching cap from the umpire – indicating a referral to a ‘TV umpire’ by word or gesture – arguing or entering into a discussion with the umpire about the decision. It is not a defence to show that the umpire made an incorrect decision. • Using language that, in the circumstances, is obscene, offensive or insulting, making an obscene gesture (includes audible or repetitious swearing, and obscene gestures which are not directed at another person, such as swearing in frustration at one’s own poor play or fortune. This offence is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the umpire shall take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to be regarded as obscene, give offence, or insult another person) • Appealing excessively: advancing towards an umpire in an aggressive manner when appealing (including repeated appealing or celebrating or assuming a dismissal before the decision has been given. It is not intended to prevent loud or enthusiastic appealing). • Pointing or gesturing by a bowler or fielder to the batter upon dismissal. • Any other misconduct, the nature of which is, in the opinion of the umpires, equivalent to a Level 1 offence. Level 2 Any of the following actions by a player is a Level 2 offence: • Showing serious dissent at an umpire’s decision by word or action. Dissent, including those listed as a level 1 offence, are classified as serious when the conduct contains an element of anger or abuse that is directed at the umpire or umpire’s decision, or where there is excessive delay in resuming play or leaving the wicket or where there is persistent reference to the incident over time. It is not a defence to show that the umpire made an incorrect decision. • Making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with another player. Cricket is a non-contact sport, and inappropriate physical contact of a serious nature will not be tolerated. Without limitation, players will breach this regulation if they deliberately walk or run into or shoulder another player. Accidental or genuinely unavoidable physical contact that occurs during the course of play shall not be considered an offence under this level. • Throwing the ball or any other item of cricket equipment at a player, umpire or another person in an inappropriate and dangerous manner. This offence does not prohibit a fielder or bowler from returning the ball to the stumps in the normal fashion. • Using language or gesturing to another player, umpire, team official or spectator that, in the circumstances, is obscene or of a serious insulting nature (It is acknowledged that there will be verbal exchanges between players in the course of play. Rather than seeking to eliminate these exchanges entirely, umpires will report conduct that falls below an acceptable standard. This offence is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the umpire shall take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to be regarded as obscene, give offence, or insult another person. • Or any other misconduct, the nature of which is, in the opinion of the umpires, equivalent to a Level 2 offence. — 109

Level 3

Level 4

Any of the following actions by a player is a Level 3 offence: • Intimidation or attempted intimidation an umpire by language, behaviour or gesture. • Threatening to assault a player or any other person except an umpire. Any of the following actions by a player is a Level 4 offence: • Threatening to assault an umpire. • Making inappropriate and deliberate physical contact with an umpire. • Physically assaulting a player or any other person. • Committing any other act of violence. • Using language or gestures that offend, insult, humiliate, intimidate, threaten, disparage or vilify another person on the basis of that person’s race, religion, gender identity, disability, colour, descent, sexuality or national or ethnic origin. • Using language or gesture to another player, umpire, team official or spectator that, in the circumstances, is obscene or of a serious insulting nature. It is acknowledged that there will be verbal exchanges between players in the course of play. Rather than seeking to eliminate these exchanges entirely, umpires will report conduct that falls below an acceptable standard. This offence is not intended to penalise trivial behaviour. When assessing the seriousness of the breach, the umpire will take into account the context of the particular situation and whether the words or gesture are likely to be regarded as obscene, give offence, or insult another person. • Where the facts of the alleged incident are not adequately or clearly covered by any of the above offences, conduct at any time that is contrary to the spirit of the game, unbecoming of a representative or official, could be harmful to the interests of cricket, or does or could bring the game of cricket into disrepute. (This is intended to be a catch-all provision to cover all types of misconduct of a serious nature that is not (and because of its nature, cannot be) adequately covered by the specific offences set out elsewhere in this Code of Conduct.)

ACTION BY UMPIRES Level 1 If a Level 1 offence is committed, the umpires shall together inform the offending player’s captain that an offence at this Level has occurred and that the offending player will be reported under Rule 11.2 Minor Misbehaviour. Level 2 If such an offence is committed, the umpires together shall inform the offending player’s captain that an offence at this Level has occurred and that the offending player will be reported under Rule 11.1 Behaviour against the Spirit of Cricket or Code of Conduct or MCC Laws of Cricket. Level 3

If a Level 3 offence is committed, the following action will be taken: The umpire shall call Time, if necessary. The umpires together will inform the offending player’s captain that a Level 3 offence has occurred, and that the offending player will be reported under Rule 11.1 Behaviour against the Spirit of Cricket or Code of Conduct or MCC Laws of Cricket. The umpires will direct the captain to remove the offending player immediately from the field of play, as follows: • In a match where the innings are not limited to a number of overs, the player shall be suspended from the field of play for 10 overs. • In a match where the innings are limited to a number of overs, the player shall be suspended for one fifth of the number of overs allocated to the current innings at its commencement. If, in calculating the length of the suspension, a part-over results, it shall be considered to be whole over. Any deliveries remaining in the over in progress at the time of suspension shall not count towards the overs for which the player is suspended. • If the offending player is a fielder, no substitute shall be allowed for them. The offending player may return to the field of play after serving the period of suspension, and may bowl immediately. • If a bowler is suspended mid-over, that over must be completed by another, who shall not have bowled the previous over nor shall they bowl the next over. • If the offending player is a not out batter, they will be replaced by another member of their team. The offending player may return to bat after having served the suspension, but only at the fall of a wicket. If no batter is available to bat during a batter’s suspension, the innings is completed. If the offending player does not continue their innings for whatever reason, they are to be recorded as Retired – Not Out. — 110

• If the offending player is a dismissed member of the batting team, the period of suspension will not commence until the start of the next innings. Furthermore, in these circumstances, the offending player may not act as a runner during the innings when the player was suspended. • Any overs remaining to be served from a suspension shall be carried forward to the next and subsequent innings of the match. A part over at the end of the innings shall not count towards the overs for which the player is suspended. As soon as possible, the umpire shall: • award 5 penalty runs to the opposing team, and signal this to the scorers • signal the Level 3 penalty to the scorers • call Play. Level 4 If a Level 4 offence is committed, the following shall be implemented. The umpire shall call Time, if necessary. The umpires together shall inform the offending player’s captain that an offence at this Level has occurred and that the offending player will be reported under Rule 11.1 Behaviour against the Spirit of Cricket or Code of Conduct or MCC Laws of Cricket. The umpires shall instruct the captain to remove the offending player immediately from the field of play for the remainder of the match, and shall apply the following: • If the offending player is a fielder, no substitute shall be allowed for him/her. They are to be recorded as Retired – Out at the commencement of any subsequent innings in which their team is the batting team. • If a bowler is suspended mid-over, that over must be completed by a player who did not bowl the previous over, and who may not bowl the next over. • If the offending player is a batter and has not been dismissed, they are to be recorded as Retired – Out in the current innings and in any subsequent innings in which their team is the batting team. If no further batter is available to bat, the innings is completed. • As soon as possible, the umpire shall: • award 5 penalty runs to the opposing team, and signal this to the scorers • signal the Level 4 penalty to the scorers • call Play. The recruitment and retention of umpires has become increasingly difficult and it is certainly not being made any easier by the regularly unacceptable levels of player conduct. Few people are willing to continually subject themselves to the childish behaviour and offensive language which is too frequently prevalent on and beyond the cricket field. All players can play a role in raising the general standard of umpiring and the level of experience within the Premier Cricket umpiring panel by lifting their personal level of behaviour and allowing the umpires to concentrate on those aspects of the game for which they are most responsible. Umpires have been instructed to take a firm stance on player misconduct, especially offensive language and disputing decisions. ALL PLAYERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE STANDARDS EXPECTED BY CRICKET VICTORIA. ANY PLAYER CALLED TO APPEAR BEFORE THE TRIBUNAL CAN EXPECT LITTLE SYMPATHY AND, IF FOUND GUILTY, AN APPROPRIATE PENALTY. It is the responsibility of everyone involved with Premier cricket — club officials, team captains and especially the players — to ensure that the levels of conduct and sportsmanship traditionally inherent in the game are maintained. 9

REPORTED PLAYERS An umpire may lodge a report with CV Management of any player, official, member or employee of any Premier Club who engages in any behaviour against the Spirit of Cricket or Code of Conduct or MCC Laws of Cricket. Upon receipt of a report lodged by an umpire CV Management shall, on behalf of CV.

(i) lay a charge against the reported player for behaviour against the Spirit of Cricket or Code

— 111

of Conduct or MCC Laws of Cricket; (ii) notify the reported player’s club that a charge has been made against the reported person; and

(iii) nominate the date and time of the hearing of that charge or

In consultations with the CV Tribunal, offer a reported player a one-match suspension with out a hearing.

The acceptance of a penalty of suspension from playing in one CV match shall be lodged in writing with CV Management not later than 12.00pm on the day after CV Management has made such an offer to the reported player or the player’s club. If a notice of acceptance is not properly lodged the CV Tribunal may elect to hear the charge. 10

CV RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS HARRASSMENT POLICY Cricket Victoria 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 Cricket Victoria website (under “Member Protection Policy), where the complete policy and procedures appear.

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 Premier Cricket 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.

CV CONCUSSION POLICY Cricket Victoria is strongly committed to ensuring that all Club Players, officials and members, umpires and other representatives are able to participate in cricket in a safe environment. This Guideline applies to all male and female players and all umpires (collectively referred to as Participants): • participating in any organised community (that is, non-elite including Premier Cricket) cricket competitions and matches or training for such competitions or matches (collectively, Community Cricket); and • who receive a blow to the head or neck (either bare or while wearing protective equipment), whether by ball or otherwise. The Australian Cricket Concussion Guidelines can be found on the Victorian Premier Cricket website at the following link.

— 112

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 Member A member affected by coronavirus may be replaced by a member 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 members shall be made to the opposition captain and umpires as soon as practicable and before the replacement member taking the field. Umpires will note all replacement members participating in the day’s play on the match report and will notify CV management as soon as possible. No alteration allowed after notification In all circumstances once notification has been given, no further alteration shall be allowed. Requirement of replacement member A replacing member shall be subject to the provisions of the CV Pennant Rules and Laws of Cricket as would have applied to the member replaced if that member had continued playing in the match. Substitute Fielder Where a replacement member 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 member or substitute fielder before the fielder takes part in the game. Withdrawal of Member Where a member withdraws from a match because of coronavirus related requirements the following shall apply: If a member is a not out batter, shall be treated under Law 2.9 as retiring owing to unavoidable cause and recorded as “retired, not out”. If a member retires under this clause and is a not out batter, shall be replaced at the crease by the nominated member. Furnishment of Medical Evidence Any member replaced under this clause must furnish a copy of a medical certificate or other proof that may be available. In the event that no proof is provided, CV Management may cause the matter to be investigated and subsequently dealt with under Clause 10 or lay a charge and refer the matter to the Tribunal to be dealt with under Clause 11. Any referral to the Tribunal following investigation under this Clause shall be considered as in time. CONFIRMED CASE/S OF COVID-19 If there is a confirmed case of coronavirus prior to the match the player/staff/official and their team/ squad are to be immediately fully isolated. That team shall not compete in the match and the match shall be abandoned. If there is a confirmed case of coronavirus during the match the player/staff/official and their team/ squad are to be immediately fully isolated. The match shall 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.

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.

Any discretionary points awarded pursuant to [A] above will be included in the calculation of Club Championship points as set out in Rule 6.
