Rules of our Games

Indoor Cricket

The Positions

Each team must bat in pairs (each batting pair gets 4 overs). The 8 fielders must be split evenly in each half of the court. Each fielder/bowler must bowl 2 overs each.

General Play

A player who consistently contacts another player or verbally/physically abuses another player or the umpire will be asked to leave the court for a period of time at the discretion of the umpire.

Scoring

A run is scored every time both batters make it to the opposing crease whilst the ball is in play. One additional run is scored if the batter hits the ball into the side net in the front half of the court. Two additional runs are scored if the batter hits the ball into the side net in the back half of the court. Four additional runs are scored if the batter hits the ball into the back net along the ground. Six additional runs are scored if the batter hits the ball into the back net on the full. A wide or no ball is worth 2 runs.

Fielding

A batter cannot be caught off the back net but can be caught of other nets. A batter will be run out if the bails are displaced off the top of the stumps. The winning team is the side that has scored the most runs from their sixteen overs.
