In the under 11B competition, a team is defined as 7 players.
The maximum number of players is ideally 9 players but only 7 players may take the
field at any given time.
Nominated players for both teams must be written on their score sheets before the
match commences.
All players nominated and available must be given the opportunity to participate in
the match in either batting or bowling.
Nomination of Batting team IS required, only a maximum of 7 players can bat.
Nomination of Bowling team IS NOT required, a maximum of 9 players can bowl (See
point 3.1)
A team is deemed to be all out (dismissed) once the first 6 wickets are lost. Where a
team has less than the specified numbers of players for a team, the team is deemed
to be all out (dismissed) once the total number of wickets lost is one less than the
total number of team players available (IE if 6 players are available team is all out
once 5 wickets are lost).
Minimum number of players is 5. Less than 5 will be considered a forfeit for the
purposes of My Cricket. However if a Coach only realises on game day that he/ she
has only 4 players, Clubs are encouraged to continue with a game sharing players as
required. Results and players scores will not be inputted for a forfeited match.
No substitutes are allowed.
SCJM-2 SC Modified – Batting
1.
Restrictions: The first innings of each team shall be limited to a maximum of 25
overs each. A player will be compulsorily retired on reaching a score of 25 runs,
however if a team is dismissed, the compulsorily retired players may return to
resume their innings in the same order of their retirement.
2.
In the U11B competition, players CAN be voluntarily retired prior to reaching the
compulsory retirement score of 25 runs on the condition that they must have been
at the crease for a MINIMUM OF 6 OVERS, that player may return to resume their
innings in the same order of their retirement until either the compulsory retirement
score of 25 runs is scored and or the teams is dismissed. Voluntary retirement prior
to 25 is deemed as “retired out” and not as “not out” for purposes of My Cricket
results.
3.
If the team batting first does not bat out the full 25 overs, the team batting second
still receives its full amount of 25 overs.
4.
Matches with an on/off play must reach at least 13 overs for the side batting first for
the match to progress further.

(2016/2017)
5.
Time lost: For each 6 minutes (or part thereof) lost due to wet weather, or any other
cause, one over is deducted from each teams innings, ie 12 minutes lost = 2 overs
deducted from each team = 23 overs maximum first innings.
6.
Drinks Breaks shall be taken at the completion of 13 overs. Drinks breaks shall be
taken for a maximum of four (4) minutes.
7.
There shall be no play after a result has been achieved. (Note: Teams may use the

players can bowl a maximum 4 overs each. Where teams have more than 7
nominated players, the 25 overs must be shared equally between at least 7 of the
nominated players with them bowling a minimum of 3 overs each, with the
remaining overs bowled by any nominated player subject to a maximum of 4 overs

between selected nominated bowlers.

embarrassing or unnecessarily discouraging inexperienced bowlers.
The Umpire / Coach should take into account the size, reach and ability of
the batter.
The Umpire / Coach may give a new and young bowler some leniency in
their first few deliveries.

number of overs to the team batting first, match result will be determined on run
rate.
