A reminder of the rules of Play. These help you understand where to stand and how the scoring works.

RULES:
A twist on pairs cricket where its pair vs pair as well as team vs team.

• Team to consist of SIX players; one innings per team.
Each innings shall consist of 6 x EIGHT ball overs
• Players will bat in pairs (known as a SMASH) with an equal number of overs across the 3 pairs (2 overs per pair) Teams start on 200 and lose 5 runs per wicket
• Bowlers are only able to bowl a MAXIMUM of 2 overs each (3 bowlers min). Bowling will take place from one end – At the end of each over the batters will swap ends to alternate the strike. Wides and no-balls shall be decided by the umpires according to the normal laws of cricket. (No ball to be called if a ball without bouncing goes above waist height). Any no-ball/wide bowled on the last delivery for a pair will be re-bowled.
• Fielders do not need to rotate – however there must be a fielder on the off-side at all times as well as two fielders in the half of the hall closest to the striking batter when the ball is bowled (Wicket keeper will be included in this count.)
• All normal dismissals of cricket shall be allowed with the exception of LBW – LBW is only to be given if the batsman deliberately kicks the ball in front of the stumps without offering any shot at the ball. At the fall of a wicket the batsmen shall switch ends – no need to switch in the event of a run out.

The scoring for SMASH IT shall take place as follows:

The wall behind the bowler shall count as the boundary wall – any ball that bounces before contact will count as 4; any ball that hits the wall on the full will count as 6. All other walls will count as 1 run, overthrows will also count as 1 run including when thrown and hit the boundary wall.

2 runs shall be awarded for every completed run
Wides and No-balls shall count as 2 runs (extras) – If any completed runs are made off a no-ball or wide these will be given accordingly (Run off a wide – additional runs go down as extras; Run off a no-ball without hitting the ball – additional runs go down as extras; Run off a no-ball being hit by a batter will be awarded to the person that hit the ball)
