therefore 3 batting pairs of Two, when we play six over innings and 4 batting
pairs of two, when we play eight over innings.
4. When a player is out he does not retire he only loses five runs from teams
score, and continues to bat, therefore batting pairs always receive two overs.

keepers hands.
11. Each team must provide one scorer and one umpire, too the match preceding
