Notice to All Cricketing Nations visiting Australia. Teams MUST
adhere
to following new mandatory ICC code
1. Winning Rule
NO VISITING TEAM should plan to win in AUSTRALIA. This is to ensure that
the sportive spirit of cricket is maintained.
2. Fourth Umpire Rule
Ricky Ponting should be considered as the FOURTH UMPIRE. As per the new
ICC rules, FOURTH UMPIRE 's decision is final and will over ride any
decisions taken by any other umpires. ON-FIELD umpires can seek
assistance from RICKY PONTING even if he is not on the field. Every
visiting team should understand the importance of FOURTH UMPIRE .
3. Amendment to Catching Rule
While Australian Team is bowling, If the ball flies anywhere close to
the Australian Fielder (within 5m distance), the batsman is to be
considered OUT irrelevant of whether the catch was taken cleanly or
grounded. Any decision for further clarification should be referred to
FOURTH UMPIRE (specified above). This is to ensure that the cricket is
played with SPORTIVE SPIRIT by all the teams.
4. Integrity Rule
While batting, Australian players will wait for the ON-FIELD UMPIRE
decisions only (even if the catch goes to the FIFTH SLIP as the ball
might not have touched the bat). Each Australian batsman has to be out
FOUR times
(min) before he can return to the pavilion. In case of THE CRICKETER
WITH INTEGRITY, this can be higher.
5. Sledging Rule
All Australian players are eligible to keep commenting about all players
on the field and the OPPONENT TEAM should never comment as they will be
spoiling the spirit of the Australian team. Any comments made in any
other language are to be considered as racist only.
6. Match Referee's Code of Conduct
Match Referee's decisions will be taken purely on the Australian Team's
advices only. Player views from the other teams decisions will not be
considered for hearing.
7. Ricky Ponting Rule:
If any bowler gets RICKY PONTING more than twice in a series, he will be
banned for the REST OF THE SERIES. This is to ensure that Australian
captain can play to break records and create history in the game of
CRICKET.
