Typical Rules For The Most Common UK Version of The Game
The rules of indoor cricket are identical to that of outdoor cricket with the following exceptions
1. Each match will consist of one innings per teams of six players.
2. Each innings will consist of a maximum of ten overs of six balls.
3. No bowler may bowl more than three overs. If for any reason a bowler is unable to complete and over the outstanding deliveries will be bowled by another bowler who has not bowled more than three overs.
4. All bowling will take place from the same end of the pitch.
5. When a batsman reaches a personal total of twenty-five runs he must retire, but may return to the crease in the event of his side being dismissed within the ten overs. Note: He actually returns when there is still one batsman to be dismissed and may take strike immediately.
6. Two batsmen will be at the wicket at all time during an innings. In the event of a team losing five wickets within the ten overs the last man will continue batting with the fifth man out remaining at the wicket as a runner.
7. A batsman may be caught out and dismissed directly off the side wall, provided the ball has not hit the floor.
8. In view of the importance of run aggregate, matches should be played out, i.e. event though the team batting second has won the match, it should continue batting until it has used all its ten overs or has been dismissed.

Famous quotes containing the words typical, rules, common, version and/or game:
“Sinclair Lewis is the perfect example of the false sense of time of the newspaper world.... [ellipsis in source] He was always dominated by an artificial time when he wrote Main Street.... He did not create actual human beings at any time. That is what makes it newspaper. Sinclair Lewis is the typical newspaperman and everything he says is newspaper. The difference between a thinker and a newspaperman is that a thinker enters right into things, a newspaperman is superficial.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
“Nothing shall warp me from the belief that every man is a lover of truth. There is no pure lie, no pure malignity in nature. The entertainment of the proposition of depravity is the last profligacy and profanation. There is no scepticism, no atheism but that. Could it be received into common belief, suicide would unpeople the planet.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If the only new thing we have to offer is an improved version of the past, then today can only be inferior to yesterday. Hypnotised by images of the past, we risk losing all capacity for creative change.”
—Robert Hewison (b. 1943)
“Vanessa wanted to be a ballerina. Dad had such hopes for her.... Corin was the academically brilliant one, and a fencer of Olympic standard. Everything was expected of them, and they fulfilled all expectations. But I was the one of whom nothing was expected. I remember a game the three of us played. Vanessa was the President of the United States, Corin was the British Prime Minister—and I was the royal dog.”
—Lynn Redgrave (b. 1943)
