During Play
- At the end of a match a boundary will only be scored in full if
the batting side has not scored enough runs before the boundary. That
is, a ball will end a match if the scores are level and the boundary
will not count.
- Wicket-keeper's gloves must not have a pouch or
webbing between the fingers.This
law does not apply in any grade of LCU cricket.
- An over begins when the bowler starts his run up, or bowling
action.
- A ball is dead when trapped between the batsman's bat and person.
- Bowling - defined as a delivery where no further
straightening of the elbow joint occurs after the arm has reached the
level of the shoulder. Throwing instead of bowling will lead to
suspension of the bowler. Underarm bowling is not permitted.
- Fielders - Wicket-keeper may not move
significantly towards the wicket during the bowler's run up.
Significant movement by a fielder off line or away from
the striker during the bowler's run up is unfair.
- A fielder's helmet when not in use must be behind the
wicket-keeper and in line with the wickets.
Dismissals
A striker is out bowled if the ball breaks his wicket after
stroke completion.
- Caught - off any part of the glove of
the hand holding the bat.
- L. B. W. - It is to be assumed that the ball would
continue on its path after interception, irrespective
of whether it would have pitched subsequently.
- Timed out - An incoming batsman must be in
position to take guard or for partner to be ready to receive a
delivery within three minutes of the fall of the
previous wicket.
In LCU Junior
matches, if no official umpire is standing, this should be seen as a
recommendation rather than a law.
- Either batsman may be run out off a no ball,
even if not attempting a run, except that the keeper may not
run out the striker, unless the ball has been touched by a fielder.
- A batsman may handle the ball to avoid injury.
Penalty Runs
- Penalty runs to either side are awarded for the
following:
- Without a warning: Player returning to field without
umpire's permission and touching the ball, ball tampering, delibraete
obstruction or distraction of batsmen after delivery, stealing a run,
ball striking fielder's helmet on the ground.
- With a warning: Deliberate short runs; attempting to
distract striker before delivery, time-wasting, damaging the pitch.
The awarding of penalty runs will always result in a report (except
for ball striking helmet on the ground).
In LCU matches, penalty runs will always apply for wilfully fielding
the ball other than with a part of one's person; fielder returning
to the field without permission; ball striking a helmet when not in
use. In Senior matches, if no official umpire is standing, they will
not apply for other offences unless the captains agree so beforehand.
IN JUNIOR MATCHES THEY WILL NOT APPLY FOR OTHER OFFENCES AT ALL.
