Cricket Rules at GR Sports

Play by these 8 rules

1

Beamers

A full toss above waist height that hits the stumps is not out.

2

Bowler and keeper position

The bowler does not have to say which side they are bowling from, and the keeper does not have to say if they are keeping. It is not a no ball.

3

Batting alone

A batter may bat alone even if others are waiting, but then no one else gets to bat. They can be run out at either end.

4

Catches off the net or wall

If the ball hits the net or wall, it must be caught one-handed to be out.

5

Bent-arm bowling

Spin is fine. A bowler whose arm bends must bowl slowly, with no quick deliveries.

6

Umpire's decision is final

No arguing with the umpire.

7

Caught after crossing

If the batters crossed before the catch, the incoming batter takes strike.

8

Unclear situations

Don't argue. Follow the most recent ruling on a similar situation, and settle the question after that day's play.
