This summer a new midweek cricket league is coming to Norwich. Last Man Stands is a short format of cricket designed for people looking for extra opportunities to play the game and introduce new or past players back to the game. There are currently 44,000 players around the World playing the format with over 10,000 in the UK alone. If you haven’t played cricket since school, gave up due to other commitments or simply want to play more this is the format for you! Cost is just £6 per person per team.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
LMS is an exciting and challenging way to play cricket with some slight rules changes to keep the games fun, inclusive and quick.
– 8-a-side Twenty20 matches
– Each game is completed in 2 hours making it the perfect game to play on an evening
– Umpire/scorer, match ball and venue are all organised for you, just turn up and play!
– 20 overs are played, but with 5 ball overs, not 6
– Sides can only be bowled out once all eight players are dismissed – so “Last Man Stands”
– You score 12 if you hit the final ball of the innings for 6!
– Teams can progress to Local, Regional, National and World Championship finals
– Social and competitive teams all welcome
– Local, National and World rankings for all players with statistics and scorecards
