Cricket The Game. The game of blind cricket is a version of the game which has been adapted so that it can be played by blind and partially sighted players. The pitch is made of concrete and measures the same length and width as used in sighted cricket. The boundaries are measured 40 metres in a circle around the pitch and indicated by a white line with flags set at intervals. The ball used is made of nylon tubing woven around a wire frame and is coloured black. Inside the ball are bottle tops and lead weight to give the ball an audible sound when bowled or thrown. All bowling and fielding is underarm. The bat is the same as used in sighted cricket. The stumps are made of metal and welded together and coloured either orange or yellow. Modified Rules. The team of 11 comprises partially sighted players and totally blind players. The partially sighted players are further divided into Partially A and Partially B categories. Partially B players are those who, in the previous season, averaged less than eight runs whilst batting. The game of blind cricket is single-ended; that is, there is only one batsman at a time. The batsman is permitted a caller who will stand behind the wicket-keeper and may give the batsman a 'call' as to whether the ball is 'straight', 'off' or 'leg'. All forms of dismissal from sighted cricket apply except for catching. Partially sighted players who avoid going out when batting are obliged to retire after either scoring 30 runs or facing 8 overs. Similarly, a totally blind batsman must retire after facing 16 overs. Bowling restrictions also apply to categories of players. ie. A Partially A bowler may only bowl to a Partially A batsman, A Partially B bowler may bowl at a Partially B or Partially A batsman, and so on. The pitch has a line marked half way along its length. For a delivery to be legal, it must bounce on both sides of this line.

However, for national and international games, the team usually comprises eleven players which break down to four totally blind players and seven partially sighted players. Q: What Equipment Is Used? A: We use conventional cricket bat. The wickets are of conventional dimensions but are made of aluminium or otherwise metal materials. The pitch we play on is concrete and 22 yards in length. The boundaries are 30 to 40 yards. Our blind cricket ball is made of nylon tubing woven around a wire mould and contains lead pieces to give it weight and bottle tops for sound. It is slightly larger than the ball used in the sighted version of the game. Accessories such as cricket pads and gloves are optional and the same as those used by our sighted counterparts.

County Ground, Taunton, More details Advertise on CricInfo Advertise on CricInfo Somerset looking to form a blind cricket team SOMERSET - 24 April 2002 Somerset Cricket Development Officer Andrew Moulding was so impressed by a visit from Tim Gutteridge of the England Blind Cricket Team that he has made an appeal to all blind cricketers in the county to come forward to form a Somerset team. Tim's visit to the County Ground was to make arrangements for the England team to spend time at the Centre of Excellence in September prior to them taking part in the ICC Blind World Cup later in the autumn. After the blind players visit Andrew told me: "Whilst he was here Tim gave a demonstration. The blind team play the game with a plastic ball with ball bearings in it, so that they can hear the ball as it approaches. I was really impressed when I saw him smacking it about the place. Tim is classified as a B1 blind person which means that he is totally blind, so that his demonstration was even more impressive." The Cricket Development Officer concluded: "We've tried to get a blind team going before, but it didn't get off the ground. Now I've got the idea that if we invite all blind cricketers along to the Centre of Excellence on September 13th and 14th when the England team are here we will hopefully get enough interest to form a Somerset team."

Valiant England reach world cup semi-finals Well, the Ashes series is over at last. Cricket fans across the country have endured a long winter of false dawns, dashed hopes and, at times, abject sorrow. England's players are now on their way to the World Cup. Somehow we still hope for success, although we don't really expect it. England's world cup squad would do well to take some inspiration from their blind counterparts who recently returned from the second blind cricket world cup, held in Chennai, India. England's squad of 17 players, two guides, a coach, manager and physio flew off to Chennai at the end of November. The squad had high hopes of doing well in the six nation tournament, although few people outside the squad gave us much chance of progressing beyond the group stages. After a few days of acclimatising to the heat and humidity and gaining the stomach for the curry, we opened our campaign with two tough matches in two days.

History of Blind Cricket At the moment a very brief history. Where we play as well as when. Introduction This page has been designed to inform you about blind cricket, how it is played, a little of it's history, and if there is anyone out there reading this who is blind or vision impaired, how you too can take part in this exiting and very enjoyable sport! I myself have been visually impaired all my life. I have been playing blind cricket since the 1991/92 season and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. One of the best things about blind cricket is that it enables blind and vision impaired people to play sport against each other and feel that they have as much to offer as everyone else and are not disadvantaged by their full or partial blindness. This is really good for all of us, because, especially for people like me, with some sight, although I enjoyed the game of cricket, I was unable to play it at school or in a local club because I could not see well enough to be able to compete with other people. I live in Melbourne, Victoria in Australia and we have a competition between October and March which we play at Kooyong, Melbourne. There we have two grounds (we used to have three but the council wanted one back), and a building which serves as clubhouse, bar, score box and radio studio. We have a 5 minute radio program at 7pm on Saturday evening after the games have finished and a half hour program on Thursday mornings. These go to air on radio 3RPH (radio for the print handicapped), which is at 1174 on the AM band (in Melbourne).

BLIND CRICKET Mark Reynolds speaks to Adam Benjamin, England Blind Cricket Captain © CSCC 2002 At the end of this month, November 2002, England's Blind Cricket team fly out to Chennai, in southern India for the 2002 World Cup for the blind. This will be only the second world cup for Blind Cricket and it represents the increasing participation in the sport over recent years. With their first game on December 5th against Australia, England will be led by their captain, Adam Benjamin, 30. An all-rounder from Metro Cricket Club in London, Adam faced the first ever ball in a Blind Cricket world cup, in Delhi in 1998. What does Blind Cricket offer to those who play it? Blind and partially sighted cricketers have been playing Blind Cricket in the United Kingdom since the 1940s. The game offers blind and partially sighted players the opportunity to play on equal terms: "Playing cricket when you are partially sighted or blind does give you a sense of confidence that you can play a competitive sport to a decent standard," comments Adam. "For some people the simple act of playing cricket can have amazing implications on the rest of their life. Having a bit of mobility on the cricket pitch can lead to increased mobility and self-esteem off the pitch. For me, however, I just play because I love the game." The road to captaincy It is now a priority of BBS (British Blind Sport) to provide opportunity and encouragement to young partially sighted and blind cricketers. So how did Adam begin his road to England captaincy?

BLIND CRICKET 30th December 2002 Review: England and the Blind Cricket World Cup © CSCC 2002 A month ago, we talked to Adam Benjamin, England Blind Cricket Captain about the sport and the forthcoming Blind Cricket World Cup. With the aim of winning the tournament, England were to have a huge task on their hands. Today, just over 2 weeks since the World Cup ended, England can be happy with their efforts, which although did not end with them holding the World Cup, did mean England got very close. Reaching the semi-finals, England went out of the tournament to Pakistan, who on the day were the stronger team. However, this was not before beating both them and hosts India in the league stages. Finishing fourth in the league and being knocked out in the semis by the soon to be crowned world champions Pakistan, was not a bad effort by England and they can come away from Chennai happy with their efforts on the world stage.
