Overs per Innings: 55 overs maximum
Bowlers to bowl from alternate ends as per normal Laws of Cricket.
A team consist of a maximum of 12 players all of whom may bat and bowl, but 11 fieldsmen only shall be allowed on the field of play at any one time. Ten (10) wickets must fall for a side to be all out.
All games are subject to Compulsory Closure. Provided that no time has been lost through conditions, compulsory closure will occur at the allotted time of play (12:00 pm). Should the team batting first, having not been dismissed, nor declared its innings closed, not receive the required number of overs in the time allotted and have its innings compulsorily closed, the team batting second shall be entitled only to the same number of overs as that faced by the team which batted first (Example 1).
The maximum number of overs to be received by both teams in the first innings is 55 (Example 2).
It is the responsibility of both coaches to ensure that overs are bowled as efficiently as possible to ensure the 55 overs are bowled within the time allotted, e.g. a minimum of 16/17 overs should be bowled each hour including a drinks break.
The team batting second MUST receive the same number of overs bowled to them as they bowled to the opposition within the allotted time of play (subject to there being no interruptions to play).
If Team B bowling first on Day 1 finishes its overs with time to spare, or dismisses Team A, or Team A voluntarily declares its innings closed within 30 minutes of the scheduled close of play (i.e. 11.30 a.m. or later), it will be at the sole discretion of Team B as to whether Team B elects to bat for the remaining time on Day 1 (Example 2b).
Example 1
Team A batting first receives 47 overs from Team B in the allotted time 8:30 am to 12:00 pm on the first Saturday of the match and has not been dismissed nor declared its innings closed – innings compulsorily closed. Team B batting second must then receive a maximum of 47 overs from Team A in the allotted time the following Saturday.
Example 2
Team A batting first is dismissed, or declared its innings closed in say 30 overs within the allotted time on the first Saturday of the match.
Team B batting second may then receive the full complement of 55 oversfrom Team A in the remaining allotted time of the match (i.e. over both Saturdays) and, if time then remains, Team A then commences its second innings.
In the event of either or both batting teams having been dismissed and/or declared its innings closed, the second innings of the match shall be determined solely by time
Example 3
Team A batting first is dismissed for 110 runs in 20 overs within the allotted time on the first Saturday of the match. Team B batting second (and being entitled to receive the full complement of 50 overs from Team A in the remaining allotted time of the match, i.e. over both Saturdays) declares its innings closed at 5 for 220 after 40 overs at, say, 9.30 am on the second Saturday.
After 10 minutes for change of innings, Team B may bowl an unlimited number of overs at Team A until close of play at 12:00 pm. If Team A is dismissed or declares its second innings closed, after a 10 minutes change of innings, Team B may then bat through the scheduled close of play (12:00 pm).
To enforce the follow-on in the quest for an outright victory, the team batting first must lead by at least 75 runs.
Unless one team has been previously dismissed, each team must have completed at least 20 overs, for a result to be declared. The winner shall be determined on the run rate on a count back of completed overs at termination of play of the team batting second (refer “Conditions of play 2-Day Fixtures”).
No cricketer is to field within ten metres of the batting crease when in front of the batsman on strike. The Umpire shall give a warning to the Team Captain and for any continued breach of this rule the Umpire shall call "no ball".
A maximum of five (5) fieldsmen are permitted on the leg side.
The maximum number of overs per day and/or innings is 10. The maximum number of overs per spell for “fast bowlers” is 5. “Slow bowlers” may bowl their maximum number of overs for the innings and/or day in a single spell.
Fast bowlers must be rested for twice the numbers of overs bowled at the completion of a spell, e.g. having been rested after bowling 3 overs, a fast bowler cannot bowl again until another 6 overs have been bowled, 4 over spell, 8 over rest and so on.
Fast Bowler - For the purpose of this rule, a fast bowler will be deemed as such if the wicket keeper would usually stand back from the stumps.
Slow Bowler - For the purpose of this rule, a slow bowler will be deemed as such if the wicket keeper would usually stand up to the stumps.
There is a retirement score of 75 runs. In the absence of injury, a batsman can only retire after facing a minimum of 6 legal deliveries (excluding wides and no balls). Batsmen retired may resume their innings after all other players have batted in the strict order of their retirement.
If retired hurt/injured, a batsman may resume play at the fall of any wicket.
Premiership and bonus points are applicable in this age group - refer Rule 11 for specific points details. Finals will be played: format to be announced.

Bowlers to bowl from alternate ends as per normal Laws of Cricket.
All games are subject to Compulsory Closure. Provided that no time has been lost through conditions, compulsory closure will occur at the allotted time of play. Should the team batting first, having not been dismissed, not receive the required number of overs in the time allotted and have its innings compulsorily closed, the team batting second shall be entitled only to the same number of overs as that faced by the team which batted first (Examples 1a and 1b).
The team batting second MUST receive the same number of overs bowled to them as they bowled to the opposition within the allotted time of play (subject to there being no interruptions to play).
It is the responsibility of both coaches to ensure that overs are bowled as efficiently as possible to ensure the 28 overs are bowled within the time allotted, e.g. a minimum of 18/19 overs should be bowled in the first hour including a drinks break.
Example 1a
Team A batting first receives 26 overs from Team B in the allotted time 8.30 am to 10.10 am and scores 120 for the loss of 5 wickets – innings compulsorily closed.
Team B batting second MUST then receive 26 overs from Team A in the allotted time 10.20 am to 12.00 pm
Example 1b
Team A batting first is dismissed in 20 overs within the allotted time 8.30 am to 10.10 am
Team B batting second MUST then receive the full complement of 28 overs from Team A in the remaining allotted time 10.20 am to 12.00 pm
At least 6 bowlers must be used, with a maximum of 5 overs each.
In the event of a match being limited to less than the allocated overs, the sum total of overs available shall be divided by 5 and no bowler shall bowl more than the result, e.g. if the number of allocated overs has been reduced to 20, the maximum number of overs to be bowled by each bowler is 4.
Umpires are instructed to apply a very strict and consistent interpretation of the law to prevent negative bowling. As a guide, on the leg side a ball landing clearly outside the leg stump going further away should be called a wide. The same provisions do not apply if the striker makes contact with the ball.
There is a retirement score of 75 runs. In the absence of injury, a batsman can only retire after facing a minimum of 6 legal deliveries (excluding wides and no balls). Batsmen retired may resume their innings after all other players have batted in the strict order of their retirement.
If retired hurt/injured, a batsman may resume play at the fall of any wicket.
The winner shall be the side that scores the most runs irrespective of wickets lost. There are no outright results in one day fixtures.
The team batting second should complete the innings regardless of whether a result has been achieved, e.g.
Team A – all out for 75 after 20 overs
Team B – should bat for a maximum of 28 overs unless dismissed earlier
NOTE – If BOTH teams agree, the game may finish once a result has been achieved.
Premiership and bonus points are applicable in this age group - refer Rule 11 for specific points details. Finals will be played: format to be announced.
If play is delayed and/or interrupted (by weather or other considerations) the number of overs allocated to each team shall be reduced by 1 over for every 3 minutes of time lost.
If play is not possible, the match shall be declared a draw.
Each team must receive a minimum of 15 overs for there to be a match.
A Gabba Junior or Gabba 2-piece Special156g ball is to be used.
