|
|
The ball shall be bowled from each wicket alternately in overs of 6 balls.
|
An over has started when the bowler starts his run up or, if he has no
run up, his delivery action for the first delivery of that over.
|
When 6 balls have been bowled other than those which are not to count in
the over and as the ball becomes dead – see Law 23 (Dead ball) – the
umpire shall call Over before leaving the wicket.
|
(a) A ball shall not count as one of the 6 balls of the over unless it
is delivered, even though a batsman may be dismissed or some other
incident occurs before the ball is delivered.
(b) A ball which is delivered by the bowler shall not count as one of
the 6 balls of the over
(i) if it is called dead, or is to be considered dead, before the
striker has had an opportunity to play it. See Law 23 (Dead ball).
(ii) if it is a No ball. See Law 24 (No ball).
(iii) if it is a Wide. See Law 25 (Wide ball).
(iv) if it is called dead in the circumstances of Law 23.3(b)(vi)
(Umpire calling and signaling Dead ball).
(v) when 5 penalty runs are awarded to the batting side under any of
Laws 2.6 (Player returning without permission), 41.2 (Fielding the
ball), 42.4 (Deliberate attempt to distract striker) or 42.5 (Deliberate
distraction or obstruction of batsman).
|
If an umpire miscounts the number of balls, the over as counted by the umpire shall stand.
|
A bowler shall be allowed to change ends as often as desired, provided that he does not bowl two overs, or parts thereof, consecutively in the same innings.
|
(a) Other than at the end of an innings, a bowler shall finish an over
in progress unless he is incapacitated, or he is suspended under any of
the Laws.
(b) If for any reason, other than the end of an innings, an over is left
uncompleted at the start of an interval or interruption of play, it
shall be completed on resumption of play.
|
If for any reason a bowler is incapacitated while running up to bowl the
first ball of an over, or is incapacitated or suspended during an over,
the umpire shall call and signal Dead ball. Another bowler shall
complete the over from the same end, provided that he does not bowl two
overs, or parts thereof, consecutively in one innings.
