STANDARD ONE-DAY INTERNATIONAL MATCH PLAYING CONDITIONS
Part-7
3.4 The process for
communicating the final decision
a)
When the on-field umpire has reached a decision,
he should advise the TV director (directly or via the third umpire).
b) For Player Reviews concerning potential
dismissals, he should then indicate “Out” by raising his finger above his head
in a normal yet prominent manner or indicate “Not Out” by the call of ‘not out’
and by crossing his hands in a horizontal position side to side in front and
above his waist three times (as per a ‘safe’ decision in baseball). Where the
decision is a reversal of the on-field umpire’s previous decision, he should
make the ‘revoke last signal’ indication immediately prior to the above.
c) If the mode of dismissal is not obvious or not
the same as that on which the original decision was based, then the umpire
should advise the official scorers via the third umpire.
3.5 Number of Player Review
requests permitted
a) Each team is allowed to make one unsuccessful
Player Review requests per innings. If a Player Review results in the umpire
reversing his original decision, then the request has been successful and does
not count towards the innings limit. If the umpire’s decision is unchanged, the
Player Review is unsu ccessful. After one unsuccessful request by one team, no
further Player Review requests will be allowed by that team during the current
innings.
b) If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds
a decision of ‘Out’, but for a different mode of dismissal from that for which
the original decision was given, then the request will still be regarded as
unsuccessful.
c) If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds
a decision of ‘Not Out’ on account of the delivery being a no ball for any
reason, thereby not requiring any review of the ball’s subsequent trajectory,
then this will not be counted as an unsuccessful request and not count towards
the innings limit.
d) If a Player Review and an Umpire Review occur
from the same delivery and the decision from the Umpire Review renders the
Player Review unnecessary (see 3.8 (b) and 3.8 (c)), then the Player Review
request will be ignored and not be counted as unsuccessful.
e)
An unsuccessful review may be re-instated by the
Match Referee at his sole discretion (if appropriate after consultation with
the ICC Technical Official and/or
the television broadcast director), if the
review could not properly be concluded due to a failure of the technology. Any
such decision shall be final and should be taken as soon as possible once all
the relevant facts have been ascertained by the Match Referee. An unsuccessful
review shall not be re-instated if, despite any technical failures, the correct
decision could still have been made using the other available technology.
Similarly, no reinstatement shall be made where the technology worked as
intended, but the evidence gleaned from its use was “inconclusive”.
f) The third umpire shall be responsible for
counting the number of unsuccessful Player Reviews and advising the on-field
umpires once either team has exhausted their allowance for that innings.
g)
The scoreboard shall display, for the innings in
progress, the number of Player Reviews remaining available to each team.
3.6 Dead ball
a) If following a Player Review request, an
original decision of ‘Out’ is changed to ‘Not Out’, then the ball is still
deemed to have become dead when the original decision was made (as per Law
23.1(a)(iii)). The batting side, while benefiting from the reversal of the
dismissal, will not benefit from any runs that may subsequently have accrued
from the delivery had the on-field umpire originally made a ‘Not Out’ decision,
other than any No Balls penalty that could arise under 3.3 (g) above.
b) If an original decision of ‘Not Out’ is changed
to ‘Out’, the ball will retrospectively be deemed to have become dead from the
moment of the dismissal event. All subsequent events, including any runs
scored, are ignored.
3.7 Use of technology
a)
The following technology may be used by the
third umpire.
• Slow motion replays from all available cameras
• Super slow motion replays from all available
cameras
• Ultra motion camera replays from all available
cameras
• Ultra Edge
• Sound from the stump microphones with the
replays at normal speed and slow motion
• Approved ball tracking technology
• The mat, generated by the provider of ball
tracking technology, not by the broadcaster
• Hot Spot cameras
• Real-Time Snickometer
• LED Wickets (using the lights to indicate if the
wicket is broken).
In addition, other forms of technology may be used subject to ICC being
satisfied that the required standards of accuracy and time efficiency can be
met.
b) Where practical usage or further testing
indicates that any of the above forms of technology cannot reliably provide
accurate and timely information, then it may be removed prior to or during a
match. The final decision regarding the technology to be used in a given match
will be taken by the ICC Match Referee in consultation with the ICC Technical
Official, ICC Management and the competing teams’ governing bodies.
3.8 Combining Umpire Reviews
with Player Reviews
a) If an Umpire Review (under Clause 2) and a
Player Review request are made following the same delivery but relating to
separate modes of dismissal, the following procedure shall apply.
b)
The Umpire Review should be carried out prior to
the Player Review if all of the following
conditions apply:
i)
The Player Review has been requested by the
fielding side
ii)
The Umpire Review and the Player Review both
relate to the dismissal of the same batsman
iii)
If the batsman is out, the number of runs scored
from the delivery would be the same for both modes of dismissal
iv)
If the batsman is out, the batsman on strike for
the next delivery would be the same for both modes of dismissal.
c) If the Umpire Review leads the third umpire to
make a decision of ‘Out’, then this will be displayed in the usual manner and
the Player Review will not be performed. If the Umpire Review results in a not
out decision, then the third umpire will make no public decision but proceed to
address the Player Review request.
For
illustration, following an unsuccessful lbw appeal, the striker sets off for a
run, is sent back and there is an appeal for his run out. The players request
that the lbw decision is reviewed and the umpires request that the run out be
reviewed. The four criteria above are satisfied, so the run out referral is
determined first. Should the appeal for run out be ‘Out’, then there is no
requirement for the lbw review to take place.
d) In all other circumstances, the two incidents
shall be addressed in chronological order. If the conclusion from the first
incident is that a batsman is dismissed, then the ball would be deemed to have
become dead at that point, rendering investigation of the second incident
unnecessary.
3.9 Interpretation of Laws
a)
When using technology to determine where the
ball pitched (as per Law 36.1(b)), the third umpire should refer to the “point”
(or centre) of the ball. Ther efore if
b) When using a replay to determine the moment at
which the wicket has been put down (as per Law 28.1), the third umpire should
deem this to be the first frame in which one of the bails is shown (or can be
deduced) to have lost all contact
with the top of the stumps and subsequent frames show the bail permanently
removed from the top of the stumps.
3.10 No Balls
If the on-field umpire is uncertain as to the
fairness of the delivery following a dismissal, either affecting the validity
of the dismissal or which batsman is dismissed, he shall be entitled to request
the batsman to delay leaving the field and to check the fairness of the
delivery (all modes of No ball except for the bowler using an illegal action,
[for clarity, a specific type of banned delivery can be reviewed and called no
ball]) with the third umpire. Consultation with the third umpire shall be by
way of two way radio. If the delivery was not a fair delivery the on-field
umpire shall indicate that the batsman is not-out and signal no-ball. For the
avoidance of doubt, the third umpire shall apply clause 24.3 when deciding
whether a no-ball should have been called.
3.11 Cameras On or Over the
Field of Play
The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer
to the third umpire for a decision as to whether the ball has been in contact
with any part of the camera, its apparatus or its cables above the playing
area.
A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter.
An on-field umpire wishing the assistance of the
third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by
use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the
on-field umpire by this method.
The third umpire may initiate contact with the
on-field umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows the ball to have been in
contact with any part of the camera or its cables above the playing area as
envisaged under this paragraph.
Refer to clause 23.1.
3.12 Big Screen Policy
The current ICC big screen policy will apply.

Third Umpire TV Replay System – Playing Conditions
1 GENERAL
1.1 Save with the express written consent of the
Chief Executive Officer of the ICC the Home Board will ensure the live
television broadcast of all ODI Matches played in its country.
1.2
Where matches are broadcast the camera
specification set out in Appendix 8A shall be mandatory as a minimum
requirement.
1.3
Where matches are not broadcast the camera
specifications set out in Appendix 8B shall be mandatory as a minimum
requirement.
1.4 The Home Board will ensure a separate room is
provided for the third umpire and that he has access to television monitors and
direct sound link with the television control broadcast director to facilitate
as many replays as is necessary to assist him in making a decision.
1.5 The provisions of clauses 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4
above shall not apply for series between a Full Member country and
Associate/Affiliate Member countries (whose matches have been granted ODI
status) and for series between such Associate/Affiliate Member countries.
1.6 In the circumstances detailed in paragraphs 2,
3, 4, 5 and 6 below, the on-field umpire has the discretion to refer the
decision to the third umpire or, in the case of paragraph 3.1, 5 and 6 to
consult with the third umpire before making his decision and should take a
common sense approach.
Players may not appeal to the umpire to use the
replay system - breach of this provision would constitute dissent and the
player could be liable for discipline under the ICC Code of Conduct.
1.7 The third umpire shall call for as many replays
from any camera angle as is necessary to reach a decision. As a guide, a
decision should be made within 30 seconds whenever possible, but the third
umpire shall have a discretion to take more time in order to finalise a
decision.
1.8 The third umpire shall only have access to TV
replays for the provisions of paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 below. Other
technology which may be in use by the broadcaster for broadcast purposes (Hot
Spot, ball tracking, Snicko) shall not be permitted.
2 RUN OUT, STUMPING AND HIT
WICKET DECISIONS
2.1
The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer
an appeal for a run-out, stumping or hit wicket to the third umpire.
2.2
An on-field umpire wishing to refer a decision
to the third umpire shall signal to the third umpire by making the shape of a
TV screen with his hands.
2.3 If the third umpire decides the batsman is out a
red light is displayed; a green light means not-out. Should the third umpire be
temporarily unable to respond, a white light (where available) will remain illuminated
throughout the period of interruption to signify to the on-field umpires that
the TV replay system is temporarily unavailable, in which case the decision
will be taken by the on-field umpire. (As an alternative to the red/green light
system and where available, the big screen may be used for the purpose of
conveying the third umpire’s decision.)
2.4 In the case of a referral of a hit wicket or
stumping decision, the third umpire shall first check the fairness of the
delivery (all modes of No ball except for the bowler using an illegal action,
[for clarity, a specific type of banned delivery can be reviewed and called no
ball]) Additionally, if the third umpire finds the batsman is out by another
mode of dismissal (excluding LBW), or not out by any mode of dismissal
(excluding LBW), he shall notify the on-field umpire so that the correct
decision is made.
2.5
LED Wickets are permitted to be used for
run-out, stumping and hit wicket decisions (using the lights to determine if
the wicket is broken).
3 CAUGHT DECISIONS,
OBSTRUCTING THE FIELD
The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer an appeal for a caught
decision to the third umpire in the following circumstances:
Fair Catches,
Bump Ball and obstructing the field
a) Should the bowler’s end umpire be unable to
decide whether or not a catch was taken fairly, or if a catch was taken from a
bump ball or not, or if, on appeal from the fielding side, the batsman
obstructed the field, he shall first consult with the square leg umpire.
b) Should both on-field umpires require assistance
from the third umpire to make a decision, the bowler’s end umpire shall firstly
take a decision on-field after consulting with the other umpire, then he shall
consult by two-way radio with the third umpire. Such consultation shall be
initiated by the bowler’s end umpire to the third umpire by making the shape of
a TV screen with his hands, followed by an ‘out’ or ‘not out’ signal made with
the hands close to the chest at chest height. If the third umpire advises that
the replay evidence is inconclusive, the on-field decision communicated at the
start of the consultation process shall stand.
c) The third umpire has to determine whether the
batsman has been caught or if it was a bump ball or not, or if the batsman obstructed
the field. However, when reviewing the television replay(s), the third umpire
shall first check the fairness of the delivery for decisions involving a catch
(all modes of No ball except for the bowler using an illegal action, [for
clarity, a specific type of banned delivery can be reviewed and called no
ball]). Additionally, if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman is
out by another mode of dismissal (excluding LBW), or not out by any mode of
dismissal (excluding LBW), he shall notify the on-field umpire so that the
correct decision is made.
For clarity, the third umpire shall not check for another mode of
dismissal when there is an appeal for obstructing the field.
d)
The third umpire shall communicate his decision
by the system as in paragraph 2.3.
4 BOUNDARY DECISIONS
4.1 The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer
to the third umpire for a decision about whether the fieldsman had any part of
his person in contact with the ball when he touched the boundary or when he had
any part of his person grounded beyond the boundary, or whether a four or six
had been scored. A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed
thereafter.
4.2 An on-field umpire wishing the assistance of the
third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by
use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the
on-field umpire by this method.
4.3 The third umpire may initiate contact with the
on-field umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows a boundary line infringement
or incident that appears not to have been acted upon by the on-field umpires.
5.1 In the event of both batsmen running to the same
end and the umpires are uncertain over which batsmen made his ground first, the
on-field umpire may consult with the third umpire.
5.2
The procedure in paragraph 4.2 shall apply.
6 NO BALLS
If the on-field umpire is uncertain as to the
fairness of the delivery following a dismissal, either affecting the validity
of the dismissal or which batsman is dismissed, he shall be entitled to request
the batsman to delay leaving the field and to check the fairness of the
delivery (all modes of No ball except for the bowler using an illegal action,
[for clarity, a specific type of banned delivery can be reviewed and called no
ball]) with the third umpire. Consultation with the third umpire shall be by
way of two way radio. If the delivery was not a fair delivery the on-field
umpire shall indicate that the batsman is not-out and signal no-ball. For the
avoidance of doubt, the third umpire shall apply clause
24.3
when deciding whether a no-ball should have been
called.
7 CAMERAS ON OR OVER THE
FIELD OF PLAY
The on-field umpire shall be entitled to refer
to the third umpire for a decision as to whether the ball has been in contact
with any part of the camera, its apparatus or its cables above the playing
area.
A decision is to be made immediately and cannot be changed thereafter.
An on-field umpire wishing the assistance of the
third umpire in this circumstance shall communicate with the third umpire by
use of a two-way radio and the third umpire will convey his decision to the
on-field umpire by this method.
The third umpire may initiate contact with the
on-field umpire by two-way radio if TV coverage shows the ball to have been in
contact with any part of the camera or its cables above the playing area as
envisaged under this paragraph.
Refer to clause 23.1.

Application of the Reserve Day
The hours of
play on the Reserve Day will be the same as on the scheduled day for the match
(including the extra time provision).
If play is interrupted on the scheduled day,
umpires will use the available extra time and, if necessary, reduce the number
of overs to try to achieve a result on that day. Each team must have had the opportunity
to bat for a minimum of 20 overs for a result to be achieved.
If play has not resumed by the cut-off time
required to allow the minimum number of overs to be bowled to achieve a result
on the scheduled day, play shall be abandoned for the day and the Reserve Day
will be used to complete the match.
On the Reserve
Day, play will recommence under the same assumption that the last ball was
bowled on the scheduled day.
The match starts when the coin toss takes place
and teams are exchanged. If the toss occurs on the scheduled day and there is
no play thereafter, the result of the toss and the named teams will be carried
through to the Reserve Day.
Umpires should make all their Ground / Weather /
Light decisions to maximize play on the scheduled day of the match to achieve a
result on that day - as if there was no Reserve Day available.
As far as the
curators are concerned, their treatment of the pitch on the Reserve Day would
be;
• Covering and removal of covers - same as the
scheduled day of the match, clause 11 of the PCs.
• Mowing and rolling – as per Law 10 - same as it
would be for Day 2 of a Test match.
Example 1:
Match starts at 50 overs per side and there is
an interruption at 19 overs. Overs are reduced to 46 overs per side and play is
about to resume. Before another ball is bowled it rains and play is abandoned
for the day.
As
the match didn’t resume under the revised overs, the match should continue on
the reserve day at the original 50 overs per side with the overs reduced if
necessary during the reserve day.
Example 2:
The same start as in example 1 i.e. match starts
at 50 overs per side and there is an interruption at 19 overs. Overs are
reduced to 46 overs per side and play is about to resume. This time, play
starts and after an over has been bowled it rains and play is abandoned for the
day.
As the match
has resumed, it is continued on the reserve day at 46 overs per side with the
overs further reduced if necessary during the reserve day.
Note: All references to ‘Governing Body’ within the
Laws of Cricket shall be replaced by ‘ICC Match Referee’
Note: Squad members of the fielding team who are not
playing in the match and who are not acting as substitute fielders shall be
required to wear a team training bib
whilst on the playing area (including the area between the boundary and the
perimeter fencing).
Note:
Advertising closer to the stumps as set out
above which is required to meet 3D requirements for broadcasters may be
permitted, subject to prior ICC
approval having been obtained.
Note: In addition to
clauses i), ii) and iii) above, the length of the Interval may be reduced by
the ICC Match Referee should exceptional circumstances arise.
Note: The playing hours of matches scheduled to take
place at venues where dew is likely to be a factor should be determined so as
to ensure that the effect of any dew
is minimized
Note:
Law 12.5 requiring the captain of the side
winning the toss to notify the opposing captain as soon as the toss is
completed of his decision to bat or to field first shall apply.
Note: If the television evidence is inconclusive as to
whether or not a boundary has been scored, the status quo will remain, and it
shall be treated as runs scored by
the batting side
