T20 Rules

noreply@blogger.com (Latest Innovations) — Sun, 24 May 2009 04:36:00 -0700

Twenty 20 cricket – Rules
The basic rules of Twenty 20 cricket are fundamentally similar to a one inning one day international cricket match. Each
team in a Twenty 20 cricket match has a maximum of 20 overs.
Rule 1: The Free Hit
This Twenty 20 cricket rule states that following a no-ball as a result of overstepping, the next ball shall be a Free Hit. For this ball, the batsman is not given out by any way in the cricket rules apart from being run-out.
Rule 2: Power to the umpires
Umpires may award five runs to one of the teams playing the Twenty 20 cricket match, in case they feel that the other team is needlessly wasting time.
Rule 3: Twenty overs within
75 minutes
This rule imposes strict penalties on bowling teams not completing their alloted 20 overs within 75 minutes. As per this rule of
Twenty 20 cricket, a bonus of 6 runs is awarded to the batting team in case the bowling team does not begin their 20th over
before 75 minutes.
Rule 4: Bowling restrictions
Bowlers can bowl a maximum of 4 overs.
Rule 5: Fielding restrictions
Only 5 fielders can field on the leg side at any point of time. A maximum of two fielders can be outside the ring in the first
6 overs and a maximum of five fielders can be outside the ring for the remaining 14 overs.
Rule 6: Bowl-outs
This rule applies to matches that end in a tie. This rule introduces a novel bowl-out to decide on the outcome of the Twenty 20 cricket match. Five bowlers from either team are allowed to bowl two balls at the wicket with no batsman at the crease. The maximum times the wicket is castled by either team decides the outcome of the Twenty 20 match.

Shoaib to miss WT20..!!

noreply@blogger.com (Latest Innovations) — Sat, 23 May 2009 07:45:00 -0700

Shoaib Akhtar will miss next month's ICC World Twenty20 event due to a genital infection, the Pakistan Cricket Board said Thursday.

"The medical board has reported that Shoaib Akhtar was suffering from genital viral warts and the wound needs further care and treatment for another 10 days," the PCB said in a statement.

The three-member medical board, comprising surgeon Prof. Javed Raza, dermatologist Dr. Ijaz Hussain and PCB sports physician Dr. Riaz Ahmed, said the injury should be reassessed after 10 days.

Thursday's news was another serious blow to 33-year-old Akhtar's career, which had been littered with injuries and controversies.

He also struggled in the one-day series against Australia in the United Arab Emirates earlier this month. He could not bowl his full quota of 10 overs in any of the four games he played and got only three wickets.

Get Set Go-Ishant sharma for WT20

noreply@blogger.com (Latest Innovations) — Sat, 23 May 2009 07:35:00 -0700

The young teenager Indain pace bowler Ishant Sharma is ready for his 1st ever world cup match.Besides his team's poor performance in IPL,he says being part of that team taught me many important lessons.

“I have never been part of any World Cup, and I am really looking forward to it. Conditions in England will be helpful for bowlers and I want to make it memorable for myself. It’s a huge honour to go in as the defending champions,” Sharma told the Indian Express.

"I really have to take care of my economy rate and then I need to work on variations," said the wiry paceman, who was part of the losing Kolkata franchise in the ongoing Indian Premier League Twenty20 in South Africa.

“In T20, you need to have a good yorker and different kinds of slower balls. Also, I am looking to become an impact bowler because nothing else puts the opposing team back like losing early wickets,” he added
