8 Players per side.
One side bats, one side bowls.
Batting side receives max. 10 overs.
If the side fielding fails to bowl its required 10 overs in
the time alloted, it then becomes manditory for the side fielding second to bowl the same amount of overs it received.
Each bowler is limited to three overs per game.
There are two batters at the wicket. One will face the bowling, while the other is at the non-striker end of the wicket (as played in regular cricket)·
If a side batting is left with one batter at the crease before it has faced its' 10 overs the innings is declared. Although they did not face their manditory 10 overs they must bowl their 10 overs to the opponets. Unless the opposition looses 7 of their wickets.
WHAT IS OUT
* Bowled out! Referrs to the ball hitting the stumps when
the bowler has bowled the ball.
* Run out! Referrs to the ball coming in contact with the stumps while the batter is out of their crease. (Note: This happens during "play" only).
* Caught out! This occurs when the ball comes off the bat on the full and is caught by one of the fielding players, this includes the bowler and wicket keeper. (Note: If the ball on the full touches the body of a player in an electric wheelchair he is deemed to have been caught).
~ Stumping! Occurs when the batter doesn't have at least one, wheel or bat, on or over the line, when the ball comes in contact with the stumps, either with the wicket keeper removing the bails or a fielder throwing the ball at the wicket.

The wickets have a semi circle in-line in front of them, (which
is 3 meters in diameter which extends from the outside stump
at either end of the wicket). The reason behind this circle
is that NO fielder is allowed to stand (sit) inside the circle (except the batter) until the ball has been bowled. If a fielder crosses the semi circle before the ball comes in contact or passes the batter, the square leg umpire or the umpire at the bowling end shall call NO BALL. This means the bowler must bowl the ball again also the batting side receive 1 run on the extras, unless the ball goes to the boundry, this would be signaled as 4 runs to the extras, or if the batter touches the ball to the boundary or runs (wheels) he will be giving the runs to their score.

If a batter in an "electric" wheelchair wishes, he may have
a runner in a push-chair.
If a fielder in an "electric" wheelchair touches the ball with their body or wheelchair the ball would be deemed to have been STOP. This means the batters must stop running at the completion of the run (that is if they started the run before the ball was stopped).
If a.fielder in an electric wheelchair wishes to affect a run-out he must first touch the ball with their body or chair then try and beat the batter to the stumps and run into the stumps, but, if the batter is in the crease the attempt of a run-out is unsuccessful, however, if the runner is short'of their crease the run out is successful.
If a bowler feels unable to bowl the ball the required distance, the umpire may move the bowler forward the required distance to give the batter and bowler a fair chance.
If a bowlers ball is unreachable by a batter, the ball shall be called WIDE. This gives the batting side an extra 1 run and the bowler must bowl again. IF the wicket keeper' doesn't stop the ball and the ball reaches the boundry this would be 4 extra runs. Add to the extras on the score sheet.

Umpire's decission is FINAL and NO coment by a player has to be tolerated by the umpire.
These cricket rules are basically the same as the rules played by the Australian cricket, except for the 'modifications' made to make the game fair as possible and trying to keep the game enjoyable for everyone.
If the ball hits a person in a Electric Wheelchair above the knees, or above this wheelchair seating line, on the full is judged to be a catch. Also if a person unable to catch (umpires
discretion) this ruling is the same.
