Glitch Rules 

Since this is the fair play group - The following glitches can be reversed by the batting side disconnecting at the time of their wicket: - 

1. Full Invisible deliveries regardless whether a shot was attempted or not. Opponent can ask for video proof. If no video then no reversal. For semi invisible/flickering deliveries batsman must leave ball. If shot is played, then wicket will be counted.
2. Catches as a result from a clean hit by the fielders and given not out (this is Not Applicable to edges caught behind or by slips or close fielders and given not out as these can be overturned by appealing or reviewing)
3. Batsman on strikers or non-strikers end run out as a result of fielder/bowler throwing the ball to either end when the batsman is dancing in and out of the crease.
4. Clean bowled but given not out
5. Clearly hits bat but given Ibw even on decision review
6. Batsman clearly hits/edges elsewhere but suddenly goes to keeper (keeper glitch)
7. Any stumping can be reversed by batting side if their back foot is on/behind the crease and the bowler bowling was a fast or fast medium. All other stumping's accepted if the bowler was a medium or a spinner or if batsman pressed R3 to advance down the wicket
8. All other run out glitches as a result of game lag are accepted. We encourage you to respect opponent and communicate with each other so that you have the best match possible. For example, if you are clean bowled and umpire does not give you out, we expect you to leave the stumps clear for the bowler to claim the wicket the next ball (only one chance, if missed then that's it). Batsmen are not required to run to give wicket if the ball is missed.

2. Shuffling to leg side there is no restriction but no standing extreme leg side and batting.

RULE BREAK PENALTY 

If any rule is broken by YOU during a match intentionally or unintentionally, no matter how major or minor the breach is; your opponent may be awarded a WIN. Last call will be of Admins on this issue. No further discussion once decision is made. RULES ARE MADE TO BE READ AND FOLLOWED and to ensure Fair Play to all. The allowances increase and decrease respectively according to the length of the format i.e. in T10 the allowances would half the current as T10 is half of T20. 

Group Talk

Friendly banter is welcome - no personal abuse. If there are any issues during a game we expect you to resolve the issue as adults. If you are unsure of any rules do let the admins know. There is no rule but is strongly encouraged we all play fair and avoid negative gameplay (bowling negative very wide lines). A couple in an over is fine but not throughout the entire innings. Overall - we hope you enjoy this group and the upcoming leagues. PLAY HARD BUT PLAY FAIR!
