The Idle Cricket club has organized the 1st International Twenty20 Cricket Festival to take place at the
Radish Cricket Ground, on the 16th and 17th of June 2007. 



In addition to the host club, 2 other teams from France and Switzerland, and the famous UK Subs CC, will take part in the event.




Tournament Rules


1. Each match will be played over 20 overs per innings.

2. Bowlers will be limited to a maximum of 4 overs per innings.

3. For the first 8 overs of each innings, only 2 fielders will be allowed to be positioned outside the fielding circle (25 metres from the wickets).

4. In the remaining overs (9-20) a maximum of 5 fielders will be allowed outside the fielding circle.

5.The tournament is 'friendly'. For this motive, every full toss that reaches the batsman above the waist, and every short ball (bouncer) that reaches the batsman above the shoulder, will be considered a no-ball.

6. Each no-ball will be penalized with 2 extras in addition to any subsequent runs scored. In addition, the batsman will also have the opportunity for a 'free hit' the next ball. This ball will not be counted in the over and the batsman may only be eliminated 'run-out' or in any other way deemed legal according to the laws of cricket following a no-ball. The bowler must therefore still bowl an extra ball (s) to complete the over.

7. Each team must bowl its 20 overs within a time period of 90 minutes.


8. Between innings in each match there will be an interval of 10 minutes.
