54 3.6 Overs per Bowler (i) No bowler shall bowl more than 30% of the scheduled number of overs for the innings, as at the start of the game and rounded down to the nearest over, therefore each bowler can bowl a maximum of 13 [15] overs. (ii) When a team has closed its innings by declaration, the scheduled overs for the second innings shall be revised to be the total available. For matches that are delayed and there is a reduction in the scheduled number of overs, or the scheduled number of overs is increased due to a declaration in the first innings, the maximum number of overs per bowler is shown as follows: SO Max SO Max SO Max SO Max SO Max 40 12 50 15 60 18 70 21 41 12 51 15 61 18 71 21 42 12 52 15 62 18 72 21 43 12 53 15 63 18 73 21 44 13 54 16 64 19 74 22 45 13 55 16 65 19 75 22 36 13 46 13 56 16 66 19 76 22 37 14 47 14 57 17 67 20 77 23 38 14 48 14 58 17 68 20 78 23 39 14 49 14 59 17 69 20 79 23 Note: SO - scheduled number of overs to be bowled Max - maximum number of overs per bowler Overs greater than 46 [50] , are for declarations only and NOT dismissals. (ii) In the event of a bowler being unable to complete an over for any reason, the over in progress shall be completed by any other player except the player who bowled the previous over or any player where this would contravene the ECB Fast Bowling Directives (please refer to Rule 3.1.1 and Appendix 1). Any such parts of an over shall count as a full over towards each bowler’s allocation. (iii) The Captain of the fielding side, in consultation with the Umpire(s) and/or scorers, shall be responsible for ensuring that no bowler exceeds the quota of overs laid down by Rule 3.6(i) or the ECB Fast Bowling Directives (please refer to Rule 3.1.1 and Appendix 1). 3.7 Scoreboard (i) It shall be the responsibility of the batting side to ascertain the details of the score, wickets and overs from the scorers and to see that the scoreboard is brought up to date with this information at least at the end of every over – assuming that no official means of updating the scoreboard is in place.
