BQ has got the scoop on the latest round of changes to the cricket playing conditions:
ICC, with immediate effect has amended the Law 42.11 as follows: (changes in blue)
42.11. Damaging the pitch - area to be protected
(a) It is incumbent on all players to avoid unnecessary damage to the pitch. It is unfair for any player to cause deliberate damage to the pitch.
(b) An area of the pitch, to be referred to as 'the protected area', is defined as that area contained within a rectangle bounded at each end by imaginary lines parallel to the popping creases and 5ft/1.52m in front of each and on the sides by imaginary lines, one each side of the imaginary line joining the centres of the two middle stumps, each parallel to it and 1ft/30.48cm from it.
(c) In addition, the entire area of the pitch in which the proected area is contained is to be deemed as 'No Pitch' area. Any ball that pitches as part of the bowling action, in the 'No Pitch area' is to be called as a No Ball by the striker's end umpire. The striker's end umpire will indicate the No Ball by tapping his one of the knees with one hand,while the other hand shall be indicating the No Ball signal by extending it out.
(d) Appendix 73 shows the 'No Pitch Area'.
(e) There shall be clear markings on the pitch to indicate the 'No Pitch Area' to enable the umpires to function effectively.
(f) ICC or any other bodies are to mandatorily implement sections (c), (d) and (e) of this rule ONLY in any innings where India bats.
Appendix 73
There are three bowls on a table, each containing different types of fruits.
To the right of the green bowl is the banana.
To the left of the banana is the orange.
To the right of the star-fruit is the green bowl.
To the left of the white bowl is the blue bowl.
What is the colour of the bowl containing the orange?
[Note: The “right” or “left” here do not necessarily refer to the immediate right
nor immediate left.]
Usual place, Usual time.
Have a great week!
