Extractions: Jump to: navigation search Blind Cricket is a version of the sport of cricket adapted for blind and partially sighted players. The sport has been played since the Within the United Kindgom. The founding members of the British Blind Sport organization were cricketers, and the association is the administrative body for the sport within the United Kingdom The rules of blind cricket are based on the standard Laws of cricket with some essential modifications. In terms of playing equipment, the major adaptation is the ball, which is significantly larger than a standard cricket ball and filled with ball bearings. The size allows partially sighted players to see the ball and the contents allow blind players to hear it. The wicket (stumps) is also larger, to allow partially sighted players to see and blind players to touch it in order to correctly orient themselves when batting or bowling. Various other modifications to the rules apply. Verbal signals are widely used both by umpires and players: in particular, the bowler must shout 'Play!' as he releases the ball. The delivery is required to pitch at least twice when bowled to a completely blind batsman (once when bowled to a partially sighted batsman), but must not be rolling. Totally blind batsmen cannot be

Extractions: Blind cricket is heading for the Caribbean with the West Indies about to set up their first team. The England blind cricket team and former stars Desmond Haynes and Devon Malcolm will help the move which will increase the sport's growing international network. Also assisting is the London Community Cricket Association, which set up and coached the England team. England blind cricket team coach Andy Sellins said: "West Indies is one of only two Test playing nations not to have a blind team. The blind players impress Malcolm "But the island is mad keen on cricket and I know the idea of the game being played by blind and visually impaired players really grips people's imaginations." England star Tim Gutteridge agreed: "Such is the enthusiasm out there I'm sure they'll be beating us in a few years. "But it goes beyond sport as it will help those with a disability and those without the opportunities to develop and maximise their talents." There are few better equipped to help achieve that goal - Gutteridge was voted Player of the Tournament in last year's Blind Cricket World Cup in India.

Extractions: cricket BLIND CRICKET Blind cricket is very similar to cricket played by the sighted. The main difference being that the ball is bowled under arm and makes an audible noise that can be heard by the players. Traditionally this game is played between two teams of eleven players made up of players with sight varying from totally blind to those with partial sight and is generally played on a one day basis with 40 overs per side and everyone is encouraged to participate either with bat or ball. That is traditionally though, and the above is used at an international level. In recent times we have moved into the shorter Twenty/20 version of the game which can be over in 2 or 3 hours maximum. Still played similar to the traditional version of blind cricket, the only differences being the game is only 20 overs a side, boundaries are shorter and you can play with as little as 7 players a side. National Tournaments aren't so common anymore. We hold a Twenty/20 tournament over Easter weekend and are working towards developing a summer series of either Twenty/20 or the traditional game. The World Blind Cricket Council adminsters the game on an international basis and due to the NZBCA's affiliation with this governing body are able to participate in international competitions such as the Blind Cricket World Cups and test matches against other countries.
