What are the new rules in Cricket?

Super-sub rule: Teams can substitute the 12th player with any player in the 11, anytime the want to. But they must announce the name of super-sub (the substituted player) before the toss. This rule is raw and favours the team winning the toss or it's just about luck. For e.g. Raina was India's supersub today. Had India batted second, they could have substituted Raina with some bowler like Zaheer Khan. But the batted first so Raina was wasted. They only used him in the field. \nYou can use a supesub anytime in the filding. In batting you can't substitute a batsman who is OUT. Once, a player is substituted out, he can't take part in the game. \n\nPowerplay: 20 over filed restrictions. You can only have 2 players outside the inner circle for 20 overs. First 10 overs are mandatory. Rest two (5 + 5 overs) can be taken as per the wish of fielding captain.

Yeah saw that; qute amusing. They might have to introduce same rules as they do for overhead wires on golf courses; play from where it lies.\n\nCant remember but saw Mike Hussey hit a cricket shot that hit the closed roof in Melbourne; not sure what the rule there was .. could have been dead ball and bowl again.

Cricket-a game unfamiliar to many Americans, is a summer sport popular in Australaia, the Indian Subcontinent, Southern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, the West Indies and Britain. It is a game which requires precision in timing, skill, discipline and patience. Though cricket isn't always a spectacular showpiece, basic knowledge of the game will make it more enjoyable. \n     Cricket is played with two teams of eleven, each with two umpires (referees) on an oval field. The size of the field varies, but generally has a diameter of around 200 metres. A cricket bat is oblong shaped with a skinny handle. The bat in length is around 90 centimetres, or up to your waistline. A cricket ball is made of cork and coated with leather, and is then stitched up. A ball weighs around 10 ounces. \n     In the middle of the field is what is known as a pitch. A pitch is a hard, flat strip of dry ground around 18 metres long. Two batsman are at the pitch at a time, both at different ends, with one facing the delivery of the ball from the bowler. The bowler runs up to the pitch where he bowls the ball overarm but releases the ball before he reaches the crease, which is a white line painted on the pitch. If the bowler oversteps the line, there is a one run penalty. \n     Teams score by getting runs. A run is completed when a batsman hits the ball and then runs to the other end of the cricket pitch, getting past the crease. The non striking batsman has to run to the opposite end as well. The batsman can run as many times as they like, but the batsmen can get out if their stumps are hit with the ball by a fielder before the batsman reaches the crease. The stumps are three sticks of equal size measuring around 90 centimetres tall with 5 centimetres separating them. Bails (small pieces of wood) are balanced on top of the stumps. \n     Other ways runs can be scored are by hitting boundaries. Boundaries are scored when the ball is hit and touches or goes past the outer edge of the field. Four runs are scored when the batsmen hits the ball and the ball hits the ground before reaching the outer edge of the boundary, and six runs are scored when the ball is hit and goes over the boundary without touching the ground. Runs can also be scored in the following ways: No balls, when the bowler oversteps the crease, bowls in a dangerous manner or incorrectly, or if the ball rises above the batsmans head. A no ball is worth one run. A wide is scored when the ball goes outside the line of the pitch before coming in line with the batsman. This is also worth one run. A leg bye is scored when the ball hits the batsman but doesnt contact his bat and then proceeds to run. A bye is scored when the batsman runs without the ball coming into into contact with the batsman or his bat, and then runs. \n     The fielding team can get the batsman out in several ways, by 1) catching him out. This is done when the batsman hits the ball with his bat and a fielder catches the ball on the full. By 2) bowling him out. This happens when the bowler bowls the ball and the ball strikes the batsmans stumps or bails. By 3) leg before wicket, or LBW. This happens when the bowler bowls it and the stumps being hit by the ball are prevented when the batsmans leg gets in the way. By 4) stumped, when the batsman comes forward to hit the hit but steps out of his crease, misses the ball and the fielder behind the stumps collects the ball hits the stumps before the batsman gets back behind his crease. By 5) run out, when the batsman attempts to score a run but has his stumps hit by the ball before he reaches the other crease. By 6) Hit wicket, when the batsman hits his own stumps while trying to hit the ball.By 7) retired, when the batsman voluntarily decides to finish his innings, and 8)timed out, when the next batsman doesnt appear on the pitch within two minutes of the last batsman getting out. \n     Each team has one inning of 50 overs. An over is a series of 6 bowls by a bowler. Each bowle

back in da day it was. we are changing the face of the game, for good i hope. this can only be refered to ODI's. the Test matches are different, players like Hayden and Sehwag are not qualified as "GENTLEMEN" even in Test match cricket. they are nothing but run scoring machine.

power plays are basically 2 sets of 5overs which the bowling sides when to bring in... Before at the start of an innings 15 overs had fielding restrictions.. meaning only 2 fielders outside the 15yard circle... now.. that 15 overs have been changed to 20.. with 10 (compulsory)at the start of innings and then 2 sets of 5 overs with fielding restrictions.. which could be brought in any time\n\nsupersub is someone who replaces a player anytime in the game .. takes his responsibilities... now.. there is a lot of confusion in it.. it is basically a 12th man which may/or maynot take part in the game straight away/ and it is chosen by the captain before the toss.. so some choose bowlers and other choose batsman.. now.. when the game starts and u batted first (for e.g) and now u have to bowl in the second innings .. and u know u have a bowler as a supersub/.. so what captains do is to replace a batsman wid a bowler.. that way batsman who wouldnt have bowled in the second innings(when they are fielding) is exchanged by a bowler .. whose got his full 10 overs to bowl.. this way a bowler could be changed for a batsman .. depending on the situation... \n\nhope this must have cleared ur doubt

Twenty20 \n---------\nTwenty20 cricket was introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003. It is a form of one-day cricket in which each team bats for a maximum of only 20 overs, contrasting with 50 overs for a standard one-day match. The format means that a game can be completed in about three hours, with each innings meant to last less than 75 minutes.\n\nMajor changes from the laws of cricket include:\n\nShould a bowler deliver a no ball by overstepping the popping crease, his next delivery is designated a free-hit, from which the batsman can only be dismissed through a run-out, as is the case for the original "no ball". \nBowlers may bowl a maximum of only 4 overs per innings, as is standard for 20-over cricket. \nUmpires may award 5-run penalties at their discretion if they believe either team is wasting time. \nIf the fielding team do not complete bowling their 20 overs within 75 minutes, the batting side is credited an extra 6 runs for every whole over bowled after the 75 minute mark. \nThe following fielding restrictions apply: \nNo more than 5 fielders can be on the leg side at any time. \nDuring the first 6 overs, a maximum of 2 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nAfter the first 6 overs, a maximum of 5 fielders can be outside the fielding circle. \nIf the match ends with the scores tied, the tie is broken with a bowl-out (similar to a penalty shootout in football), with 5 bowlers from each side delivering 2 balls each at an ungarded wicket. If the number of wickets is equal after the first 10 balls per side, the bowling continues and is decided by sudden death. \n\nSupersub (Rule is Cancelled in Feburary 2006)\n------------------------------------------\nunder experimental one-day international rules introduced in July 2005, any player may be substituted for the twelfth man, with the substitute able to take over the substituted players batting and bowling duties. A twelfth man used as a substitute in this way is known as the supersub. \nThe first supersub was Vikram Solanki, named as a supersub for Simon Jones at Headingley on 7 July 2005. However, as Solanki replaced Jones after England had bowled, and England only lost one wicket in chasing down Australia's target, Solanki did not get to play any part in the game. The ICC cancelled the experiment in February 2006. \n\nPower Play\n-----------\nThis term is taken from football. An offensive maneuver in a team game. The original rules of ODIs stated that during the first 15 overs, only two fielders should be allowed outside a 30-metre circle around the wicket. This meant that attacking batsman were likely to score runs quickly in the first 15 overs, but would become more watchful at the end of the spell. In an effort to keep the game more exciting during the middle overs, the 15 over block with fielding restrictions at the beginning of the innings is reduced to 10, and thereafter, the captain of the fielding side has to decide when to bring his fielders in again for two further blocks of 5 overs, at any time he likes. These 5 over spells are called Powerplay 2 and Powerplay 3. (Powerplay 1 is the first block of 10). The rule was first encountered in the One-day International between England and Australia on 7 July, 2005.

Cricket was introduced to North America via the English colonies in the 17th century, probably before it had even reached the north of England. In the 18th century it arrived in other parts of the globe. It was introduced to the West Indies by colonists and to India by East India Company mariners in the first half of the century. It arrived in Australia almost as soon as colonisation began in 1788. New Zealand and South Africa followed in the early years of the 19th century.\n\nThe basic rules of cricket such as bat and ball, the wicket, pitch dimensions, overs, how out, etc. have existed since time immemorial. In 1727, we first hear of "Articles of Agreement" to determine the code of practice in a particular game and this became a common feature, especially around payment of stake money and distributing the winnings given the importance of gambling. In 1744, the Laws of Cricket were codified for the first time and then amended in 1774, when innovations such as lbw, middle stump and maximum bat width were added. These law stated that 'the principals shall choose from amongst the gentleman present two umpires who shall absolutely decide all disputes.' The codes were drawn up by the so-called "Star and Garter Club" whose members ultimately founded MCC at Lord's in 1787. MCC immediately became the custodian of the Laws and has made periodic revisions and recodifications subsequently.
