Chairman and President Welcome
Dear NSW 050s Cricketers,
Veterans Cricket NSW Over 50s welcomes you to the Central Coast for our Annual State
Championships.
We are very encouraged to have 28 sides participating in our 3 day format utilizing weekdays this
year. With having to deal with a Pandemic and all its trials, tribulations, and regulations,
Being able to increase our Team/Player registration from last year's Championships is a credit to you
all and just shows we are on to a good thing.
Looking forward in our Calendar, the annual Cooper Finlay Cup against Queensland is scheduled for
th
this March, 29/30 in Gunnedah.We have been asked to provide 5 sides for this Carnival -.
Nomination forms to be released shortly.
Unfortunately, due to the unpredictability of COVID some of our best laid cricket plans and fixture
organizations have been cancelled last minute during this past year.
Our Committee have thought it more prudent to delay our normal preparation time for some recent
events. Having to backtrack on work, travel and accommodation plans because of an outbreak has
frustrated a lot of us. We just ask for a bit of patience if you are or hope to be involved in Rep sides
going forward.
Our National 50s Tournament has been rescheduled for Adelaide again in November.
Further down the track the 2022, 50s World Cup has also been rescheduled for Cape Town South
Africa in March 2022.
We really hope you enjoy your 3 days of Cricket at the Central Coast and I hope you enjoy the
camaraderie with new and old friends.
Please uphold the spirit of cricket with your team-mates and the players who you play against and I'm
sure you will create some lasting memories over the Carnival.
Regards to all.
Mark Elia
on behalf of NSW 50S Committee

We are thrilled that the CENTRAL COAST CYCLONES VETERANS CRICKET can host such a large
tournament at the brand-new Central Coast Regional Sporting & Recreation Complex in Tuggerah
for our ever increasing band of Over 50s from throughout our State of NSW.
We are also thrilled that so many new teams have committed to join in the thrills and spills of cricket
in this important age group, especially at a time when concerns remain in the community about
COVID. 28 teams will converge on the Central Coast to compete in 4 Divisions, for the bragging rights
to be named Champions of the State.
We thank unreservedly the Central Coast Council for enabling our cricketers access to such a
complex at a time when Finals are only a week away. We know that you had other commitments to
this facility and greatly appreciate your flexibility. We know that these 28 teams will bring 336
players plus wives and girlfriends to your beautiful part of the world and will bring considerable
revenue to hotels and restaurants in the local community during the tournament.
We would like to shout out to John Jewiss and President of CCC Keith Vallis, and their team, Tony
Wilson and Rod Masters, for their hard work in setting this up. It just goes to show that with willing
and positive people anything can get done.
No tournament can go ahead without its sponsors and Major Sponsor DIGGERS at the Entrance
must be thanked and supported at every opportunity.
We hope that this is not only an immensely enjoyable few days to play competitive, yet pleasant
cricket, played in the right spirit and that you all make new friends in our wonderful game and catch
up with old ones.
Please take every opportunity to thank the hosts, sponsors and the volunteers who we would be lost
without.
Play well and remember the reason why we are all playing this wonderful game at this time in our
lives. The Camaraderie and the stories that follow!
Simon Lyon
President, VCNSW

16OVER 50’s STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
GUIDELINES AND RULES FEB 2021
PART 1 AIMS AND GUIDELINES
Culture of the Championship
Whilst the structure of the championship provides for a competitive approach, the organisers
believe this should not result in over-competitiveness or over-shadow what they believe is the
championship’s main purpose – to provide an opportunity for cricketers of all standards
despite their advancing years, to continue to participate in a sport we all love.
The Spirit of Cricket is expected to be observed at all times
“….Cricket owes much of its appeal and enjoyment to the fact it should be played not only
according to the Laws but also within the Spirit of the Game. The major responsibility for
ensuring fair play rests with captains but extends to all players and umpires.
Respect is central to the Spirit of Cricket…” (MCC Laws of Cricket 2017 Code)
1) Age
All players are to have reached their 50th birthday prior to the end of the year of the
Championships (31st December 2021), unless special dispensation has been granted
by the O/50’s Committee.
Any team that causes or permits an unqualified player to participate shall lose its
match points and the game shall be deemed to be won by the other side.
2) Competition Format and Structure
The competition will consist of 4 groups, teams playing three rounds. The Division 1
table will be adjusted after Round 1 and 2. The Division 2 tables will be adjusted after
round 1 and 2.
Games then will be allocated according to the draw.
3) Competition Points/Placings
a) Points - teams will be awarded 2 points for a win, 1 point for a Tie or a Draw and
zero points for a loss.
b) Bonus Points
In all Divisions the placing of teams that are level on points will be decided by
identifying the one with the higher wickets/runs quotient.
The quotient is to be calculated as follows:
A - Runs scored divided by wickets lost,
B - Runs scored by opposition teams divided by wickets taken, and
C - Divide A) by B) to determine team quotient.
4) Clothing, Grounds and Equipment
a) Coloured or white team shirts and trousers are permitted.
b) Only red four-piece balls supplied by the Championship organisers will be used.
c) The host must provide equipment such as stumps, marker cones.
d) Pitch covers are to be used when available and as required. Refer to 8(b) below and
10 (c). During play both teams are responsible for speedy delivery of the covers when
rain is imminent, and both teams must assist with the covering. Both teams must
assist with the removal of the covers and required overnight covering.
175) Disputes
The Organising Committee encourages the resolutions of any disputes between the
captains and umpires prior to the score sheet being submitted.
In the event of an unresolved dispute, the dispute will be determined, in consultation
with the host organising committee, by a person/persons nominated by the Over 50’s
Board.
The ruling person/persons powers include, but are not limited to the following
a) Awarding a match to one team or both teams jointly
B) The deduction of competition points from, or/and awarding competition points to,
either team in a match.
6) Wet weather
a) Where possible, organise synthetic pitches as an alternative for all matches rostered
to be played on turf pitches in the event of wet weather or of grounds being
considered unsafe. If there are insufficient back-up synthetic grounds available to
cater for all games, priority shall be given to Division 1 then other Divisions in
descending order.
b) Advise Managers of any change in ground allocation for any match.
7) Match administration
The Organising Committee is responsible for the smooth running of the
Championships and is empowered to delegate responsibilities as follows:
a) Ensure that results are communicated directly to the Championship Recorder.
b) Liaising with the local club and groundsman, organising lunches, check scoring and,
assisting the umpires and captains where necessary.
c) Ensuring match balls and scoresheets are provided.
8) Health and Safety
a) Registration of Players. It is a condition of Championship registration that each Region/Team
ensures that all its players are registered and have paid their VCNSW Registration Fee.
b) Playing conditions:
1. Heat Policy: The Organising Committee is responsible for implementing a Heat Policy
relevant to prevailing conditions. As a guideline for the Tournament if the temperature
exceeds 38 degrees Celsius the umpires and captains should consider whether the match
should proceed bearing in mind player safety during play. Attention is drawn to (3) below of
this rule.
2. Lightning Rule: When lightning is sighted, count the seconds until thunder is heard. If that
time is less than 30 seconds, the storm is within a 10km radius and is potentially dangerous.
Play is to be suspended immediately and appropriate shelter taken. Play must not resume until
the storm has passed and thunder is not heard within 30 seconds or 30 minutes has elapsed
after the storm has passed.
(a) Once play ceases at one oval, play must cease on all adjoining ovals.
(b) Covers should not be placed if umpires are obliged to halt play due to lightning
frequency under the above rule even if rain is expected. Nobody is to be on the
18playing field while the lightning rule is in effect. However if a radar determines that a
serious storm with rain is approaching then the umpires should use their discretion to
halt play earlier to allow some time for covers to be placed on the pitch where player
safety is not compromised.
3. Player safety during play. It is the responsibility of players themselves and through them, of
team management and team captains to ensure, as far as possible, that players remain safe
while playing matches. This includes the positioning of players in the field and the wearing of
helmets by batsmen and fielders (including wicket-keepers) bearing in mind the relative
strengths and weaknesses of both their own players and of their opponents.
If a captain believes it unsafe to continue play for any reason he should immediately advise the
Umpire/s of his concerns. After consultation with both captains, the Umpire/s shall have the
final say as to whether or not play should continue and, if so, whether match conditions are to
be varied.
4. Helmet Policy
The board of Over 50’s cricket has adopted the VCNSW position in relation to helmets.
All batsmen are to wear a helmet for all bowling other than slow bowling.
Wicketkeepers must wear a helmet when standing up to the stumps
All fieldsman in front of the wicket within 7 metres of the batsman are to wear a helmet
5. Defibrillators
The Organising Committee shall ensure that a defibrillator (AED) is available at every
match. If teams are unable to provide their own, the Organising Committee shall:
(1) Organise teams to share, depending on availability, OR
(2) Arrange for AEDs to be made available from local sources,
OR
(3) Publicise arrangements for immediate access to an AED.
19Part 2 Match Rules The Laws of Cricket apply except for variations mentioned herein.
9) Teams
a) Each team may consist of twelve (12) players.
Only eleven fielders can be on the field at any one time and only eleven players can bat.

Before each innings commences, the batting side captain shall notify the opposition captain as
to their batting line up and the player who will not bat if 12 are playing.
b) Championship Finals: Player Eligibility.
A player who has played in a lower Division team is eligible to play in a higher Division final.
A player cannot be relegated from a higher Division to play in a lower Division final unless that
player has played an earlier match for the lower team in the Championship.
Any request to vary Player Eligibility for finals must be approved by the Organizing committee,
prior to the commencement of play on that day.
10) Umpires
It is expected that all umpires will be familiar with Rules 5, 7 & 8, as well as all Match Rules.
a) Official umpires are to be allocated to each match wherever possible. If only one official
umpire is available that umpire is to stand at each bowling end.
If no official umpire(s) is available both captains shall agree on non-official umpire(s).
b) After consulting both captains, umpires have the final say on whether play will start,
continue, resume or cease due to rain, unsafe ground conditions or extreme heat.
c) When umpires decide that play is to cease due to approaching rain, they should use their
discretion to determine if and when covers (if available) are installed on turf pitches including
taking into account any radar information.
11) Playing Hours and Innings
a) Hours of Play: Matches are to commence at 10.00 am and be completed by 6.0Ve0 pm

b) Length of Matches
Each Innings is to be a maximum of 45 overs per team. Whenever play on a turf pitch is unlikely
to commence before 11.30am or if rain or unsafe ground conditions prevent any match which
commenced on turf from being fully played out, it may be completely restarted on the
alternate synthetic pitch, provided less than twenty (20) overs of the first team’s innings have
been bowled.
•The restarted game will be reduced to twenty (20) overs for each team’s innings. If more than
twenty (20) overs have been bowled, the match shall not be restarted and will be called a
draw.

responsibility of Captains to ensure that they or someone in their team has access to and
knowledge of a DLS app.

loss of overs is allowable. Further time losses after 11.15 am:
(1) Team batting First: Reduce the overs for both teams by one (1) for each 7.5 minutes lost in
all Divisions

batting second to receive 20 overs. The umpires may announce that the game will be declared
abandoned should play not resume by such time.

completion of the first innings. The duration is to be approximately 30 minutes. The lunch
break can be shortened with the agreement of the Umpires and two captains.
12) Batting
a) Retirements - batsmen must retire on the stroke of scoring 40 runs. They can return at the
end of the innings in the order of retirement.
NOTE;
1. Batsmen who have retired may return, unless they have Retired Hurt in accordance with
the Rules of Cricket.
2. Retired batsmen will be deemed ‘Retired Not Out’ for the purpose of calculating wickets lost

an injured bowler shall have that part over count as a full over for the purposes of this playing
condition.
Unfair Deliveries
No Balls (in addition to the normal front & back foot No Ball rules)
(1) Any full-toss that clearly arrives or would have arrived above waist height from any bowler
as judged from where the batsman takes his stance as if he had been standing erect. The
umpire at the bowler’s end is to instantly call and signal No Ball for any such unfair delivery.
(2) Any ball that bounces above the shoulder of the batsman in his normal stance shall be
called and signalled as a “No Ball”.
The square leg umpire can supply assistance to the bowler’s end umpire, however the
final decision on whether the delivery is called “No Ball” in (1) & (2) remains solely with
the umpire at the bowler’s end. The warning process in the Laws that removes a bowler from
the attack for bowling a second waist high full toss shall NOT be applicable in these
competitions. The bowler will be no balled for all waist high full tosses but shall not be removed
from the attack unless it is the opinion of the umpire that the ball in question that was delivered
above waist height was a deliberate act.
(3) A ball that lands on the edge of or completely off a synthetic pitch shall be immediately
called a No Ball by the umpire at the Bowler’s end.
21Wides
(1) In all Divisions, any off side or high or leg side delivery which in the opinion of the Umpire
does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a Wide.

further leg side deliveries after the first leg side delivery irrespective of width will be called a
Wide.
