Bassetlaw and District Cricket League Official Handbook 2016

4 Constitution, Rules & Playing Conditions 45 (iv) If further interference occurs by weather, light or unforeseen circumstances when a time limit has been applied, or if time is lost during the last hour of play causes a time limit to be applied, the number of overs to be bowled on any resumption of play shall be reduced, from the total of 17, by one over for each full 3½ minutes which have elapsed after the scheduled commencement of the last hour. During the last hour, the number of overs bowled prior to any interruption is not taken into consideration when working out the number of overs remaining. The calculation of the number of overs remaining is determined using the following table: Minutes remaining at the resumption of play Overs remaining Minutes remaining at the resumption of play Overs remaining 60 - 56½ 17 28½ - 25 8 56½ - 53 16 25 - 21½ 7 53 - 49½ 15 21½ - 18 6 49½ - 46 14 18 - 14½ 5 46 - 42½ 13 14½ - 11 4 42½ - 39 12 11 - 0 7½ 3 39 - 35½ 11 0 7½ - 0 4 2 35½ - 32 10 0 4 - 00 ½ 1 32 - 28½ 0 9 00 ½ - 0 0 0 During the last hour, on resumption of play, any part overs count as a whole over. For example, if there are 8 minutes of playing time remaining and the bowler has 3 balls remaining of their current over. The minimum number of overs to be bowled will be 2.3 (and not 3). 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 15 overs (Championship) , 13 overs (Division 1-7) or 12 overs (Division 8).
