PowerPlay+Cricket or Crickrt+powerplay ?
Cricket power play rules;
A Powerplay is a rule introduced in 2005 concerning fielding restrictions in One Day International (ODI) cricket and designed to give a temporary advantage to the batting side. In the past, there was a 15-over period at the start of an innings when only two fielders were allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
The first ten overs in an innings are defined as Powerplay One.
(only two players being allowed to stand outside the 30-yard circle and two fielders required to be placed in close catching position. )
Then in two blocks of five overs, Powerplays, of which one may be used by the fielding captain, and one may be used by the batting captain.
(Powerplay Two and Powerplay Three)
The moment he calls for the second power play and the third power play, 5 overs from that particular over will have only two fielders outside the 30 yards circle. A captain can't chose for a power play in the middle on an over.
If captains didn't get it the last 10 overs will automatically be Power Plays.
According to the new rule by the ICC, the batting side can now decide when to introduce either the second or the third Powerplay during their innings.
The new rules will apply from October 1,2008 with New Zealand and Bangladesh being the first cricket teams to follow the rule.
The rule was first encountered in the One Day International between England and Australia on 7 July 2005 and was then finalized after a trial period in 2006, unlike the supersub rule(which failed. & inside 6 months, it was taken away from International cricket.)
The rule was included as part of the playing conditions for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.
