13. Sun 50 SuperSub Rule Rewrite Reg 23.5

EXISTING REGULATIONS

Reg 23.5

WHAT'S THIS ABOUT?

Making the Sunday 50 Supersub rule a bit easier for captains and umpires.

COMMENTS

This rule was first implemented by a suggestion from one team about 3 seasons back. It was formalised 2 seasons back.

When I mention it to captains before the start of the game I usually get two kinds of response:

Huh, what's that?

or 

confusion about who is which player.... for the rest of the day, sometimes.

The procedure remains confused and confusing and the super sub gets used somehow but no one seems relaxed about it.

Under the existing regulation the steps to this are name 12 players before the toss, nominate a replaceable replacement and a replacement to replace him (or vice versa) straight after the toss. Captain can make the swap at ANY point in the game. Which is which is decided after the toss.

This can be made simpler by nominating a bowling player for the bowling innings and a batting player for the batting innings which applies regardless of toss order. Swap occurs automatically at the innings break. The order of the swap is determined by the toss of the coin i.e. the order of the teams' turn to bat.

This is much easier to understand for everyone.

This regulation will continue to allow immediate replacement for cases of game ending injury (with a required umpire approval/notification similar to the seeking of approval for a batter's retirement). 

This means the player swap can be made immediately in case game ending injury. Injury to any of the other 10 players not in the swap pair will be handled same as normal (by use of a 12th man non-batting, non-bowling substitute fielder.) This injury swap will only occur in the rare circumstance that a swapping player is injured.
