For or the purposes of these Directives a
fast bowler is defined as a bowler to whom a wicket keeper in the same age group
would in normal circumstances stand back to take the ball. |

|
| |
Having completed a spell the bowler cannot
bowl again, from either end, until the equivalent number of overs to the length
of his* spell have been bowled from the same end. If play is interrupted, for any
reason, for less than 40 minutes any spell in progress at the time of the
interruption can be continued after the interruption up to the maximum number of
overs per spell for the appropriate age group. If the spell is not continued
after the interruption the bowler cannot bowl again, from either end, until the
equivalent number of overs to the length of his spell before the interruption
have been bowled from the same end. If the interruption is of 40 minutes or more,
whether scheduled or not, the bowler can commence a new spell
immediately. |

| |
Once a bowler covered by these Directives has
bowled in a match he cannot exceed the maximum number overs per day for his age
group even if he subsequently bowls spin. He can exceed the maximum overs per
spell if bowling spin, but cannot then revert to bowling fast until an equivalent
number of overs to the length of his spell have been bowled from the same end. If
he bowls spin without exceeding the maximum number of overs in a spell the
maximum will apply as soon as he reverts to bowling fast. |
