2022 REVIEW TOPICS

Here's what is in consideration for review this year. 

Following the AGM ALL these changes were approved EXCEPT  

G. Suspension for Unexpectedly Replaced Players in Two Dayers up to 4 Saturdays (Reg 23.2)

A further motion to update Reg 8.1.6 9 (Spikes for Batters) is expected at the Secretaries Meeting on 15-Aug.

Playing Regulations document updates are now underway but printing of booklets will be delayed until this last item is decided.

H. Specifying the penalty for playing a higher graded player in a lower grade (Reg 4)

I. Revision of Awards (Reg 40)

J. Voting rights for non-Saturday teams at Association Meetings (QSDCA Constitution article 4)

This one is a bit different because it will require a Constitutional amendment.

K. New edition of the Laws of Cricket (2022)
There will be a new edition of the Laws published later in 2022. If available at the right time, there are numerous references to the Laws contained in the Regulations which will be updated. This may lead to minor changes in copy and layout.

Also there will be an attempt to integrate Bridging and Over 40's regulations into the complete playing regulations.

L. Change Super20 Bonus points to Net Run Rate (Reg 34.2 and 35.8)

LINK TO DISCUSSION https://tinyurl.com/bdz7jhs3

And these have been modified

M. Short Pitched Balls in ALL Games (Reg 29.2)
 
The CCC rule on this needs fixing but fundamentally they just wanted to make it like on TV in Test Cricket. i.e. a high bouncer over the batter's head is made a WIDE not a no ball as in Law 21.10.
Maybe we should have the same in QSDCA cricket? 
(Sat 35, Sunday 50, Super 20, Over 40, Saturday Two Dayers, Bridging Comp)

N. Innings cut off procedure for Saturday 1 dayers (Reg 25)

These have been dropped.

12.30pm Start of Play for whole season on Saturdays (Reg 20.1, 20.2)

Spikes for Batsmen (Reg 8.1.6, 8.1.7)

Rolling the Pitch During a Match (New Reg supplementing Law 9)

 LINK TO DISCUSSION  https://tinyurl.com/bdheszpj

(new) Simpler Leg side wides (Reg 28)
A suggestion was made to introduce a simple and direct definition for legside wides in limited over matches.
The idea was countered by the notion that such a rigid idea might prolong some matches intolerably given the bowling ability on display in some teams.
