Hamilton Cricket Association Facebook Competitions
Hamilton Cricket will this season hold three photography competitions on our Facebook page. These
will run on a monthly basis throughout the summer.
Our three categories are:
- Club
- Junior
- Twilight
This will begin in November, when prizes will be awarded, and total prizes of $150 will be available
per month per competition. How this will be divided (i.e. one winner, or split between first and
runners up) will be decided closer to the time, as will a decision on the judging panel who will decide
this. Prizes will likely be for places like Rebel Sport or Lonestar. (For Junior and Twilight, who have
the same prize values going, prizes will be for similar places for Junior, and the Eastside Tavern for
Twilight.)
Please note that as we want to have engagement with our junior and grassroots communities, it is
for amateur photographers only. Although those with professional photography experience are
welcome to send in photos, we cannot accept those for prizes.
To enter, simply submit your photo or photos to us through our Facebook page, either by private
messaging the page or posting on our wall. We’ll have all photos shared on our page as they come
in, and prizes will be awarded at the end of the month.

Preamble to the Laws:
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.
HCA Club Standards 2017-18
The Board of the Hamilton Cricket Association would like to wish all of our clubs the best for the
2017-18 season.
There are some matters that we want to bring to all clubs attention.
Care and Respect for Grounds
The HCA is in constant communications with the Hamilton City Council about improvements to the
grounds that we play on. All clubs must ensure that their teams show due care and respect for
grounds.
• Be respectful and courteous to all users of the council’s grounds.
• Be responsible for all rubbish created over the course of the day and leave grounds and
changing rooms in the same state or better.
• Always use toilet facilities provided. It is not acceptable to urinate outdoors in council
parks.
Teams and players that do not abide by these guidelines should expect to face penalties under our
code of conduct.
Playing Standards
It is important that teams in all grades make an effort to maintain playing standards. These
standards exist to ensure the quality and enjoyment of the game for all players and spectators.
Sportsmanship – Player behaviour has a major impact on the enjoyment of the game for all
participants. Please ensure that players conduct themselves on the field accordingly.
Standard of dress – It is the expectation of the HCA that all teams will present themselves well on
the field. At a minimum all players should wear the same coloured shirts. Tracksuit pants and jeans
have no place on the cricket field.
Over Rates – All grades have over rates listed in their playing conditions. Captains have the
responsibility for ensuring that over rates are maintained over the course of the days play. Late
finishes are a constant complaint across all grades – but this issue can only be addressed by the
teams.
Scoring – Both captains must take responsibility for games being scored correctly and confirming the
result of the game at its completion.
Over the course of the season the HCA board will be at the grounds monitoring team behaviours and
standards.
HCA Club Requirements 2017-18
All Grades
CricHQ
- All players must be registered in CricHQ in order to play. We realise that in some cases
late call ups/ring-ins will not be able to be registered in time and exceptions will be
made in these situations.
- All club cricket must now be scored through CricHQ. This is done by the team named
first in the online draw. This can either be done through electronic scoring, or through
manually adding the scoresheet into the CricHQ system after the match has finished. We
strongly encourage clubs to use the electronic scoring system, as this puts much less
burden on teams and reduces the likelihood of error in submissions. This will also
provide Duckworth Lewis calculations.
- Premier: Results must be in by 10.00am the following morning. Please note that this
includes Day 1 of two-day matches, with Day 1 results required by 10.00am the
following morning.
- Senior A, B & C: Results must be in by 6.00pm Sunday for Saturday matches. In the
event that there is a technical issue with CricHQ, please ensure that an email explaining
this has been sent to [email protected] before 6.00pm Sunday.
- Please note that for two-day games in Senior A & B grade, results only need to be added
after the conclusion of the match (i.e. only after day two if a match is not complete after
day one).
- Umpires & Captains Reports: CricHQ’s reporting system will be mandatory for all
matches involving an official umpire. This is required to be submitted by the same
deadline as CricHQ results: 10.00am the following morning for Premier, and 6.00pm the
following evening for Senior A, B & C. Reporting is not required when there are no
official umpires appointed.
- Failure to enter: Failing to submit a CricHQ result will result in a $150 club fine or 4-point
deduction. Failing to enter a captains report will be a $150 club fine.
- Please note: from next season, it will be compulsory that all matches are scored on a
device. This means the manual scorecard entry will not be used.
Covers
- The team named second in the online draw is to ensure covers and scrim are removed
and stored appropriately during each day’s play. At the conclusion of a day’s play, covers
are to be returned to storage sheds and folded correctly.
- Visit http://www.hamiltoncricket.co.nz/resources/ for instructions on how to fold covers
correctly.
- All pins must also be returned to the storage shed.
- Captains are responsible for ensuring that covers and scrim are fixed down/folded
appropriately, and allowed to dry during play.
- Under no circumstances are players allowed to run over covers in spikes. This will result
in a $150 club fine. If the covers are damaged by spikes, the cost of replacement or
repair will be paid by the club responsible.
Grass Blocks
- Teams are not to warm up or practice on any part of the grass block.
Premier T20
Games will again be played on Tuesday evenings throughout January/February.
- Clubs are to supply balls (White 156g Kookaburra, Regulation, Club Match or Senator).
- All teams are required to play in appropriate coloured clothing.
- All batters and wicketkeepers are to wear appropriate coloured pads/clads.
- Results and reports are to be submitted via CricHQ by 10.00am the following morning.
Senior A & B T20
Games will be played on Saturdays for Senior A, and on Sundays for Senior B.
- CricHQ requirements for Senior A are identical to other Saturday matches: 6.00pm
Sunday.
- For Senior B, this becomes 6.00pm Monday.

• A player using crude or abusive language, or engaging in conduct detrimental to the spirit of the game.
• A player using crude or abusive gestures.
• A player assaulting, attempting to assault, or abusing another player i.e. sledging

which may bring the game of cricket or any cricketer or group of cricketers into disrepute.
2. Eligibility to lodge a Report:
The following persons may submit a written report if they are present at the time and have observed
an alleged breach of the code:
Official or player Umpires
General Manager; Development Officer and Board Members
Team managers, if officially appointed or team members.
Any official match observer/ Referee if appointed
General Public
Hamilton City Council
3. Judicial Committee:
The Board may appoint a Judiciary to hear any allegation if the alleged offender disputes the
allegation.
4. Reports Procedure:
Where any person mentioned in Section 2 wishes to prepare a report of an alleged breach under
section 1 he/she shall inform the Association at the earliest opportunity and complete a written
report which must be received at the office no later than 24 hours after the days play in which the
alleged incident occurred.
The Association will as soon thereafter as possible advise the player/s and his club that a report has
been lodged and if necessary arrange a date as soon as possible for the hearing. The Judiciary will
determine who will attend the hearing and may request attendance of the initiator of the report, an
official representative of the club (preferably being an observer of the incident); the player/s
reported and any other persons thought fit to preserve the course of a fair and just hearing.
The judiciary will hear and decide on the report in a manner which accords with the principles of
natural justice and which best ensures a fair and prompt determination of the alleged breach of the
code.
The judiciary shall give reasons in writing for its decision and deliver said within 7 days of the hearing
to the offender and associated club.
The judiciary shall communicate its decision to the player/s concerned and the initiator of the report
of its decision within 24 hours of the hearing.
The Association will ensure that full details of the report, the hearing procedures adopted, the
decision and the reasons therefore are recorded in the register of reports.
5. Penalties:
Where a player has been found guilty of a breach of the code, the judiciary may impose any penalty
it thinks fit, including debarring a player, team or club from participating in club matches conducted
by the Association for any length of time, forfeiture of points (whether for the match in question or
otherwise) or a monetary fine. Suspension may be for a number of matches or a definite period and
shall take effect immediately following the decision to suspend and shall apply to any fixtures under
the control of the Association, including representative fixtures.
If any player is found to be in breach of the code for a second time the judiciary must impose a
penalty in a higher category than that imposed for the first offence.
6. Register of Misdemeanours and Penalties:

Summary of Law Changes for Clubs, 2017-18
After consultation with both the Northern Districts RTO, Lui Els, and Hamilton ATO, Mark Commins,
and in reference to the MCC’s published changes to the Laws of Cricket, the following are the most
relevant changes that will affect Hamilton club cricket.
Handled the ball is no longer a law. The wording from this has been merged into Obstructing the
field – this is now what reads under law 37.1.2:
The striker is out Obstructing the field if, except in the circumstances of 37.2, in the act of
receiving a ball delivered by the bowler, he/she wilfully strikes the ball with a hand not holding
the bat. This will apply whether it is the first strike or a second or subsequent strike. The act of
receiving the ball shall extend both to playing at the ball and to striking the ball more than once
in defence of his/her wicket.
As the MCC has written, “This will have no effect on whether a batsman is dismissed; rather, it is just
the method of dismissal that might be changed.”
How to score byes and leg-byes off no-balls has changed. Previously, a leg-bye or bye off a no-ball
was scored as multiple no-ball extras; for example, a no-ball plus two byes was noted as three no-
ball extras. This has changed so that only one no-ball extra will be counted, with byes and leg-byes
subsequently taken to be scored as a bye or leg-bye extra.
Substitute fielders may now keep wicket, with the consent of the umpires. According to the MCC,
It was felt that, if the original wicket-keeper was genuinely injured, then a substitute should be
allowed to take over, but that the umpires should control the situation to prevent abuse. A
substitute still cannot bowl, bat or act as captain.
There may be other changes to Law 24 around substitutes, but we need to wait for the NZC Playing
Conditions to be finalised first.
Run-out laws now give protection to a batsman whose bat bounces up after being grounded. This
means if you have grounded your bat beyond the popping crease, you are considered to be in,
irrespective of whether your bat bounces after this point. This also applies to stumpings. This now
means, given the previous law protecting batsmen whose feet had been grounded beyond the
popping crease, that as long as some part of the bat or person has been grounded, and the batsman
has continued forward momentum, an inadvertent loss of contact with the ground will not allow a
run-out.
Deliberate front-foot no-balls now result in immediate suspension. Just as deliberate beamers have
done in previous laws, deliberate front-foot no-balls – i.e. a bowler running through the crease to try
and intimidate a batsman by bowling closer to him – will now trigger an immediate suspension from
bowling. Laws have not changed for non-deliberate front-foot no-balls.
Law 41.15 now prevents the batsman from taking stance in a position where they will “inevitably
encroach on the protected area”. This is a complex rule, but the way it has been described by our
ATO and RTO is that it becomes a matter of whether your first forward movement will be into the
protected area. This does not stop you batting out of your crease, or from charging, but if you bat so
far outside of your crease that your forward defensive will step into the protected area, the Square
Leg umpire will immediately inform the batsman. Upon repeated offences, there are the same
penalties as for a batsman damaging the pitch (i.e. penalty runs apply).
Double bouncers are no longer allowed. The law change is simply that, instead of a no-ball being
called when a ball bounced more than twice between the popping creases, it is now a no-ball if the
ball bounces more than once between the popping creases.
Mankads are now possible up to the point where the bowler would usually release the ball.
According to the MCC summary:
This was previously Law 42.15 and is the Law that enables the bowler to run out the non-striker
before delivery. In the light of much publicity and controversy, this Law has been thoroughly
debated, with two changes being made:
• Extending the point at which the run out of the non-striker can be attempted to the instant at
which the bowler would be expected to deliver the ball. This will have the effect of keeping the
non-striker in his/her ground for longer.
• Changing the title of the Law, to put the onus on the non-striker to remain in his/her ground.
It is often the bowler who is criticised for attempting such a run out but it is the batsman who is
attempting to gain an advantage. The message to the non-striker is very clear – if you do not
want to risk being run out, stay within your ground until the bowler has released the ball.
The extension of the timeframe for the run out has been in place for some time in the
international game and the Law change is in line with this.
It’s worth noting that ‘the instant at which the bowler would be expected to deliver the ball’ means
that a bowler cannot continue his rotation to effect a Mankad; he would have to stop the arm and
move it backwards. Continuing the rotation takes you past the point at which the ball would be
expected to be delivered.
Catches off helmets (or any external protective equipment) are now possible:
A change has been made so that the ball can be caught after it strikes a helmet which is being
worn by a fielder or the wicket-keeper. With the wearing of helmets by wicketkeepers and
close fielders now compulsory at many levels of the game, it has been decided that a helmet
will be deemed as being part of the fielder’s person, meaning that a catch (or stumping) can be
taken after the ball has struck the helmet, or become lodged in it.
It's worth noting alongside this that fielders within seven metres of the batsman – except the slips
and gullies – are “strongly recommended” to wear a helmet, according to the latest NZC Helmet
Policy. (Please note: this is NZC’s October 2016 policy and is subject to change.)
